KITES!

After Cannon's party (see post below), we all went outside & flew kites! It was the perfect windy day & we all spread out & had so much fun!

Kaelyn LOVED flying her Barbie kite & held on tight to the string! What a fun activity with so much space to fly kites!

Pirate Party!!

Last Saturday, we helped cousin Cannon celebrate his 4th birthday party at Mama G & Papa G's house. It was a pirate party & Michelle & Charles did such a great job planning all of the fun activities for the kids to do!

Happy 4th Birthday Cannon!

Uncle Charles, Cannon, and Aunt Michelle

The guys - Charles, Greg & Ryan

Kaelyn loved taking part in all of the "big kid" games & wanted to do everything they did!

Here she is trying to put the patch on the pirate's eye

Way to go Kaelyn!

Shae sat that one out & was cheering from the sidelines

Kaelyn all dressed up in her pirate best!

Next it was time for the Treasure Hunt! The kids followed all kinds of clues to lead them to a big treasure.

And they're off...

We found the treasure chest & there was treasure for all of the kids! What fun!

Kaelyn loved the chocolate cake!

So did Shae!

Watching Cannon open up his presents...

This was his big gift from his parents!! He LOVED it!

Pinata time!

(Shae sat this one out as well, not quite as brave just yet)

She was a natural :)

A few weeks ago, Aunt Shell broke her ankle so Papa G drove her around the property to watch some of the activities going on...

Movie Night!

This past Sunday night, Daddy was busy preparing for a big work meeting on Monday, so the girls and I had a girls' movie night! I had recorded the movie Brother Bear and they loved it! We popped popcorn and had so much fun spending time together! 

Valentine Weekend Fun!

What a fun weekend we had celebrating Valentine's Day!

On Thursday night, Mama G & Papa G came over to bring the girls a Valentine's goody bag. They gave them the cutest bears, & lots of delicious candy!

Then on Friday evening, we met Daddy after work to eat dinner at Jason's Deli!

The girls loved eating the frozen yogurt after their meal!

The girls woke up on Saturday and loved opening up their Valentine's gifts from Mommy & Daddy. They each got a new puppy dog, stickers and candy. They were so excited!

Meet Calloway & Penny :)

On Saturday evening, Mimi & Papi offered to watch the girls so Ryan and I could go out to a nice dinner just the two of us. They took the girls to eat Mexican food and to ride the carousel at the mall. They had so much fun!

Ryan and I enjoyed a delicious dinner at Benihana and then went to the Cheesecake Factory for dessert. It was a wonderful evening!

Eating some yummy Dippin' Dots ice cream!

What a fun Valentine's Day! We are truly blessed to have our precious little Valentines a part of our lives!
