I know I'm always saying how different my boys are but these pictures really show it. Jack was 18 months old wearing this outfit and Kaleb just got into it and he will be three in 3 weeks :) 

Kaleb has always been my climber but now he is climbing everything!!  

We all know how "Train Crazy" the boys are but Jack has been cracking me up lately because wherever he walks, even if he's not playing and just walking to the car or something, he moves his arms like this and says they are his pistons. He is so funny sometimes :)

Happy Valentines Day!

We sure did miss daddy this year on Valentines day but we still had a lot fun. 

                                            Of course Kaleb didn't want to participate at first

 Until he saw what was inside :)

 I love my sweet boys! 

 I decided I wanted to try and decorate a cake because Carrie says it is so easy. I did a transfer design and it was an epic fail! But the boys loved it and that's all that matters.

 Of course we had heart pizza for dinner because pizza is Jack's favorite :) 

Valensday Party!

Jack has been so excited for the valentines party at school. I mentioned it to him a month ago and everyday he goes to school he asks me "Is the Valensday party today" and today was no exception except my answer today was Yes! They had pizza, which Jack was so happy about, and decorated cookies and gave out their valentines. 

                                              He loved that his friends valentines in his train

 For weeks Jack has been telling me that Adalie is his valentine and when I ask him what that means he says "It means we'll never be apart" so we were shopping one day and he found this little thing that he said he "Needed" for Adalie because she is his valentine. He is going to miss her so much when we move :)

Valentine Boxes

I can't believe it's already February and time to make Valentine boxes again and of course Jack wanted a "Valensday train" as he says it :)

                                               Of course little brother had to make one too.

         I'm starting to think I could save a lot of money and just make our toys. They Love them!

My boys can make a train out of anything LOL This is their latest and Jack says he is the Engineer and Kaleb is the passenger :)

They even have couplings on them

Last week we had a friend come and hang out for a while and I just thought this was the cutest picture. 

Deals Deals Deals!!!

Thursday night Kristen called me and told me about this store up in the Springs called Garden Ridge and said they had their Christmas stuff 90% off!! I figured it would all be gone by the time I got up there yesterday but I was wrong cause I spent an hour and a half in that store shopping. Josh and I had already said wherever we live next Christmas we are going to decorate more and make the outside look awesome. So when I heard about this sale I had to go. I got outdoor LCD lights, four things of 25ft pre lit garland, garland with pinecones and glitter, ornaments, little pre lit trees for the outside, gift boxes, yard decoration and all kinds of other stuff. I even got a 6 1/2 ft Christmas tree because I noticed in  the pictures online of homes in VA most of them have finished basements so I needed a tree for that haha If something happens and we don't move I'll just put it in my dining room, that's what those green and blue ornaments are for :) I had a blast and when I checked out all this was only $51 and some change. That means I got $500 worth of stuff.  I was even more excited when he asked if I was military cause I got an extra 10% off.

Happy Birthday to Me……Again!!!

What can I say, I'm a pretty lucky girl with some Great friends!! You know I always heard of people saying how great their church family was but I never really understood it until this ward. I have met some amazing people and really do feel like a part of a family. Four of the very special people are Shannon Kelepolo, Tabbi Huzzey, and Tami Gabbitas. I hit it off with these girls as soon as I moved into the ward which never happens for me.  Last Tuesday we went to dinner for my birthday and the spoiled me with even more gifts. Tabbi gave me these awesome bread mixes that she got in Idaho and Shannon and Tammi gave me this book and a Khol's gift card :) I can't wait to go buy some kitchen gadgets and make my bread!! I can't believe I forgot to get a picture of us at dinner but I will make sure to get one at the next dinner and put it on here. I'm so thankful to have these ladies in my life and they sure make going to church easier LOL 

Birthday Dinner with the Girls!!

Last night the girls took me to Amanda's Fonda, a delicious mexican place, for my birthday dinner. It was so delicious and we all had a great time. Apparently we outstayed our welcome cause when we were leaving, 3 and a half hours later, the waitress said "come back when you can stay longer" LOL how rude!!! I think next time we will go and ask to sit in her section and stay 6 hrs :) Of course before we toasted my birthday Mar had to give this big speech about it possible being my last birthday celebration with them and made everyone cry! I can't even imagine finding friends as good as these girls when I move. I know I say it all the time but I don't know what I'm going to do without them. 

 Of course the spoiled me, again! I love the frame Sam made me and I had to fight the tears back when I opened it. Annie got me the Rachael Ray egg holder that I've wanted for a while but just wouldn't spend the money on and the stretchy lids that we saw at the craft show this christmas but I was to cheap to buy! I can alway count on Mar to give me a gift card to Hobby Lobby and Kristen got me a fancy new cover for my camera strap but it didn't make it here on time so I will post a picture later. :)

                                     Kristen just brought over my birthday gift and I love it!!!!

Happy 31st Birthday to Mommy!!!

Well, I made it through being 30! I've had a great birthday today. Mom took us to Steak n Shake for lunch and Safeway made me a pan of yummy German chocolate brownies. We missed Josh being here but I was so lucky to spend it with my boys. 

While Josh was home for Christmas he took me and got me the best birthday gift!!
