Our Valentines Day

Did you all have a good Valentines day??  I hope so..We sure did and you might be in for a picture overload post!!;) Just sayin’
I told Jianna to go sit by Jayla and so she goes and sits on her instead..lol!

So in comes the bribery just a little candy…and they ALWAYS have to check out what the other one has and it has to be the exact SAME thing or they want another one that matches it..it is tough getting two little two year olds to look at me…


Jayla on the left and Jianna on the right


See they have to check each others food out again…

I made the girls heart pb&j for lunch…I think they liked them…hehe!

Found another yummy recipe on pinterest and knew that I had to make them..and just to warn you if you do make these…you will not be able to stop after just one..k I warned you!! :)

The girls after school….

I found this hair heart on pinterest once again…yes I know I am addicted to that site..lol!! But anyways I wish I would of taken a picture of it in the morning instead of after school but oh well…The girls said it was a HUGE hit!!!   They were just a tad late for breakfast in the morning bc I had to do this three times…and it did take a little bit of time..but it was ok for one special day…

Avery had the best day too..she came home just talking away oh how I wish I knew what she was saying though…but I am sure it was all about her party..…I can not wait until the day I can hear all about her day..I try to ask her questions and its yes or no..and that’s it..so I guess I will take that right now…She wouldn’t let her bag out of her site…We also made Pioneer Woman’s chocolate cookies when she got home from school..OH MY!! They are sooooo goood!!!! You must make them too!!! But they are a cut out cookie and we made hearts of course!! :)We just frosted them with nutella and that was really good..{forgot to take a picture of the after cookie…}

Daddy came home for flowers for his girls!!! 

and candy of course too..and yeap they have to check each others out..and make sure that they got the same..

The table set for supper…we had ravioli casserole (the kids favorite), caesar salad, and breadsticks.. you can kind of get a idea of the cookies in this picture..oh yeah and the beautiful flowers that Jared brought for me!! 

And for dessert…..the cookies and these cupcakes..I also found them via pinterest…they are suppose to be a more healthy way of making them..it’s a strawberry cake mix with a can of diet red pop..and that is it!! and they were good!!  The frosting…well that was equally good..and that was a container of cool whip…one package of fat free vanilla pudding..and 1 cup of milk..and then food coloring..and it was really yummy too!!

So there you have it..that was our Valentines Day!! 
{Ill be back tomorrow to give u an update on Avery..and to show you what I have been working on…}

Happy Valentines Day!!

Happy Valentines Day to all of your family and friends!! We hope you all have a great day and filled with lots of love..I found this awesome idea on pinterest and showed the girls and asked if they wanted to make there own valentines this year..and they all wanted too…so this was there valentine for there class this year..

The girls making there valentines…in there pjs..they woke up Saturday morning knowing they were going to make there Valentines so they wanted to start on them right away…


I had Avery write her name on all of hers…

She did pretty good..she is starting to mix up her letters..she was never doing that before..not sure what to think about that…

Some of the Valentines for the grandparents..{yes they will be late..I'm just mailing them out today..don’t judge!!} The white had painted hands are Jayla and Jianna’s they are suppose to form a heart but it was so hard to get there hand to go where I wanted it to with paint on it..so that’s as good as I got it..so then I just drew a heart..lol..and Avery's is the sign language hand that I traced her hand and then cut it out and folded down the two fingers so i t would be the sign for “I love you”..and the girls traced there hands and then in the middle of there hands is an accordion paper..on the] front it says I love you…and on the paper in the middle it says this much… {ideas all found via pinterest}

She did better on her name on this one..so I had to show you

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!

Happy Valentines Day!!

I hope you all had a wonderful valentines day…I sure did!!!  It was filled with love all day! No, I don’t need a day to practice love or feel loved or my kids to feel loved bc I know they feel loved every day but we like to enjoy doing special things on Valentines day!  So here are a few pictures of our fun filled Love day

I made Avery peanut butter and jelly heart sandwiches for lunch!!

I made heart sugar cookies with my little love bug too!! She had so much fun and she actually licked the beater afterwards…(that’s huge with her bc she is not a sweet eater) But isn't that the best part of making cookies..



She wanted a non frosted cookie..tried to give her a cookie with frosting and she said “ewe”..

Cookies were ready when Brielle came home from school..nice little treat for her…Destiny didn’t go to school bc she was running a fever..

My girls made me a valentine card too!!! If you are wondering why my name is on one of the cards instead of mom…Well Destiny is practicing her cursive and she wrote me a note on the back of the card that said…”I hope I did the k right in your name..I wanted to write your name in cursive..and p.s. I couldn’t find a valentine color to write in…love, destiny” ha!! Love that girl! 

Avery is lit up like a light bulb bc her daddy loves her and he brought her home this adorable puppy..and she loves it..she kept saying  “mom {pause}  puppy”  and he also brought me some flowers…It sure was nice to get flowers after the week that I had last week…It sure was a great picker upper!!! 

He also got the older girls a valentine puppy pillow pet…He loves all his girls!!! 
I always make a big special meal for my family..I love it and the kids really look forward to it..This year I did a cheese fondue for an appetizer..

We dipped bread cubes, broccoli and cauliflower in it..and the kids all loved it!!!  (except Destiny, she's apparently not a big cheese fan..news alert to me)

For the meal I made hassle back potatoes, and pork medallions and some homemade rolls (these are the best roll recipe that I have found…that are quick and easy),with this awesome fluffy honey butter..pretty close to what they serve at Texas Roadhouse!  So good.. 

For dessert I did chocolate fondue and this is what we dipped in the chocolate..This was a huge hit…They all had a blast dipping it in..Everyone's favorite was the strawberries..mine was the bananas!!
