Happy Valentines

This year we decided to change up Valentines a little and make it about our whole family. We started the evening off with everyone's favorite dinner! Denny and I enjoyed a wonderful steak, Hannah dished up her favorite pad thai, Ethan devoured his mozzarella and balsamic, as for Hudson he had a bottle!! The kids drank their lemonade out of wine glasses and they thought that was so cool!!! We finished up with a delicious dessert, chocolate fondue with strawberries, bananas, pretzels and marshmallows.

Then we exchanged our handmade valentines; so precious. Brought tears to my eyes to look around the table and think how totally and completely in love I am with these 4 amazing people.

Off to the scavenger hunt; the kids had to follow clues to find their Valentines' presents. This was their MOST favorite part of the night they LOVED the scavenger hunt!!! They finally got the pillow pets they have been asking for before Christmas. The scavenger hunt will have to stick around it was super fun!! This was by far the best Valentines EVER!!! It will definitely be our new tradition!!

The day before Hannah enjoyed her very own Valentines Party...

A crafting afternoon for all the little sweeties in the neighborhood! They made Valentines and decorated sugar cookies! All the girls seemed to enjoy themselves ~ we'll definitely add this to our new Valentines' traditions too!!

The BMX Rider

Ethan made his riding debut at the Chandler BMX park last week!!! We could not be more proud of our big "little" 3 year riding the track with all those big kids! He is awesome!!! He absolutely loved it and rode every chance he had in the 2 hour open ride time. I will add some video next time!!

Hudson is Crawling!

I can't believe that Hudson is 7 months and crawling! He actually started on the 29th 6 days crawling as a 6 month old!! If his balance and coordination are a reflection of this he may be riding his bike at 18 months :) He will have to, to keep up with his brother and sister!! He loves the mobility of crawling, especially that he can come and get me in the kitchen! He is doing great! Still not sleeping through the night but only waking up once, which I am very grateful for. He is eating lots of different foods and loves any vegetable as long as I add a little fruit to it, sweet tooth like his momma! He started clapping this week, super cute. He is an incredible little boy and we just love him to pieces!!
