Happy Valentines Day!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!!

And now these three remain- faith, hope and love; but the greatest of these is LOVE.

-1 Corinthians 13:13

We celebrated Valentine's Day with good friends, good family, and good food!!!

First, we attended our FCHE Homeschool party at Jumpsters! There were LOTS of kids there, and we had a blast!!!!

Ashlyn Belle was SO asleep most of the time!!!

Each child made a Valentine's bag or box, then they all made Valentines to give to their Homeschool friends! We came home with WAAAAAYYYYY too much candy!!!

Here we are all together!!!! Ashi's still out...

Then she finally woke up for a quick photo with her big bro!

Here is Avery's Homeschool group, the 3's, 4's, and 5 year olds! They are all having some Valentines food and drink. Avery is 4th from the bottom left in this picture.... and this is part of Courtney's homeschool group (there were more tables)... She's on the right side in the middle (red shirt)!

THEN, we came home and celebrated as a family! We had prepared a gourmet dinner for daddy!

I made seared filet mignon with garlic butter sauce, broiled and seasoned scallops, and spinach salad. YUM!!!!

Then, the kids prepared strawberry and marshmallows in chocolate fondue!

AND...

IT...

WAS...

GOOD!!!!!!!

We hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day too!!!!!

My Birthday 2008

My Birthday was in February (28 again!!!), and I celebrated it by taking the kids to Build-a-Bear! Unfortunately, Alex didn't make it into any of these pictures, because he has outgrown Build-a-Bear, and I took him to get a new DS game instead!!!

Here is Avery helping to stuff Ashi's new bunny...

While Ashi watches from the comfort of her new jogging stroller, a birthday gift from my Mom and Dad! Thanks, guys!! We love it!
All of the girls pose with their new furry friends!!!

Before the night ended, I got a visit from the sweetest little princesses!!!!
