Valentines!!

This picture of Kash and Lane was supposed to be by the bench photo!! Oh well....Anyways, Kash helped Erick all day making the bench for me and helped stain it as well. He ended up with a little bit of black stain in his hair and I thought it was so cute because Lane has a little black spot on his side that he was born with! Kash thought that was pretty cool to be like Lane too so we had to get a shot of them together with their spots. I think it is so cute that their hair is almost the same color!!

So OF COURSE these are backwards!! We were all in having our breakfast and Paizly went missing so Erick looked in the backyard and this is what he found!! She loves Lane and often I find her just out sitting with him where ever he is. This time he just happens to be on the kids little table!

Our kitchen table has sadly been losing chairs rapidly! Each time Erick says don't worry I will just make a bench! This started about a year ago! He finally did it! What an awesome bench too! I was so proud of him, and the kids LOVE it!!

These are the flowers that the kids picked out for me. Derick got me the White Tulips, Claira got me the Red ones and Kash got me the Red Carnations. I LOVE them. They were all so proud of them, and they really lived for a long time. I am so thankful for my kiddos and I know some people think Valentines should not be the only day to show love but I actually LOVE Valentines Day, it is a special day or Month at our house, for you to sort of emphasize the love you have for oneanother. I am all for that!

We actually had some special visitors this Feb. The "Love Bugs" came to visit our home. One morning we heard a little sound and found a note from two little Love Bugs named Skizzle and Hearts along with a little treat. They told the kids that if they would show love and obey their parents they would continue to bring treats and goodies for the kids. They also wanted the kids to write to them and ask them questions about their lives. We found out where they live and what they eat. We learned about their family that is still in Love Bug Land. It was a lot of fun and the kids felt extra love all month long. Not to mention how good they were in hopes of a letter from their new friends! We can't wait for them to come back next year! These sucker lips were one of the kids favorite treats they brought them.

Valentines morning I made Pink pancakes. Mickey Mouse OF COURSE!! They were a big hit along with the pink milk! We also "heart attacked" the kids rooms and the hallways upstairs for the kids. I forgot to get pictures of that but the kids loved waking up to glittery hearts EVERYWHERE!!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentines Day! I know that I felt very loved from my kids and my wonderful Husband. We have such a treasure within the walls of our home and I am forever greatful for that.
