Sarah's Here

It's been so fun having my sister in town!

I wish that she lived closer, it would make things like going grocery shopping much more exciting!

We were the first to match.. twin sunglasses, yes please

One of the mornings Sarah woke up to find Liam asleep in the playroom under a tent.. ok.

Sarah sent me some pictures that she took.. including one of us having breakfast at my parents.

Her and Lilly

Uncle Tyler- he's the best!

Only missing 2 sisters!

Not sure why she took this.. but my legs look skinny :)

Sister-best friends

And then it was the night before they had to leave. SO SAD.

It was so wonderful for her to come and help and just hang out!

And very early this morning they were off...

The only thing that could make today ok was a special gift from my Grandma!

I love all of the things she send me!

Valentines Day

Yesterday Ella and jack each made boxes to take to school to trade Valentines with their classmates. Jack made one with cars, no surprise. Ella made a toilet. Seriously. A little more surprising, but very cleaver. 

While waiting for everyone to wake up and see what the Valentines fairy brought, Lila was sneaking and went downstairs for an early peek!

To say that the Valentine fairy went overboard would be an understatement! 

Lila and Jack

Anderson, Lilly
Liam and Lia

Ella might be getting older, but she's definitely not too old for the Valentine fairy!

It was so fun to have some of the Reed boys here with us!

Lilly got all things FROZEN

Ella got some new shoes and clothes.. She's hitting the age where that's what she wants.

Lila is my sugar- hollic!

Jack got a case for all of his Pokemon!

Anderson is such a happy, squishy boy!

After breakfast we got dressed to go over to Grandma and Grandpa's house to help set up for a special lunch.

The kids loved helping Grandpa, although I'm not too sure how much he liked it.

Ryan sent me some flowers!

I know it's a little weird posting the card, but I don't ever want to forget it :)

Sarah put together a special lunch for just the ladies

 (seeing that there were several who were going to be away from their sweet hearts, including Sarah)

It was so nice! Thank you to everyone who helped put it together and for coming!

Grandpa took all of the boys out, but the little girls weren't left out!

That night I gave Ryan some chocolates and things!

Lila liked it more then him!

Happy Valentines Day!!

First of February

On our way to my cousin's baby blessing and these girls were just too cute!

Matching Valentines day shirts, yes please!

(Thanks Sami!)

Happy Birthday to my baby brother!

I remember when you were born so well.. especially since I was there.. 

Sometimes when we stop by Grandpa's house he gives all of the kids ice cream.

That's what Grandpa's are for!

This is what y Saturday nights look like these days.. and I couldn't be happier about it.

Before I know it, these days will be over.

Sweet baby Rosie was blessed this weekend. We drove up for her special day.

It was a beautiful blessing by her Daddy. I'm so happy for Bizzy and Tyler, they have such a wonderful family.

Jack loved playing with his cousins

After working hard all afternoon Ryan brought me some lunch :)

In honor or what would have been my Mother-in-law Sandy's 66th birthday we all enjoyed some chocolate!

She always had these in a bowl on her counter. It's weird to think she's been gone for almost three years. 

Ella loves activity days! She was extra excited when they said they were having a Daddy- daughter date!

They made this frame together! I'm so grateful for these two!

Sometimes she just wants me to take a picture of her.

At over 18 months old.. THIS is still something we are having to deal with.....

Lila LOVES birds! Every time she sees one she screams and wants to go and see it!

One afternoon while running errands with Grandma we stopped by the pet store. She couldn't have been happier!

 

Sarah, Liam and Anderson came to visit!! Anders can sometimes be shy, so I was thrilled when he cuddled up to me and fell asleep :)
