Valentines Day

Growing up, I always remember that my mom made Valentines Day special. It's fun having my own kiddos now and trying to do special things for them. The kids had the day off of school, so we wanted to do something fun. We started out with a special valentines breakfast:
The chocolate chips were supposed to be in heart shapes, but Brooklyn informed me that they did not in fact looke like hearts LOL Then the kids opened all their special valentines. I think this one was my favorite of the day!

After the fighting started, I figured that we better get out of the house. The kids got on their bikes and we headed over to a trail by our house. It's nice because I usually get some good exercise trying to keep up with them on their bikes. We ended up hiking up to the top of this hill by our house. The kids assured me there was no poison oak, so I could follow them up LOL

We were trying to spell out the word "LOVE" with our shadows....I'm sure you can't tell unless I tell you, so I'm telling you!

The day ended with some heart shaped chicken parmesan....which only Brian and I ate because my kids are so darn picky!!

I am one incredibly blessed Momma!!

Scouts

Melanie and I have been busy selling girl scout cookies! Yesterday we spent 3 hours in front of the grocery store pedaling cookie deliciousness! The first group pic was at the beginning and the next one is how we felt after the 3 hours LOL 

Brandon has been just as busy with Cub Scouts. He had the raingutter regata a few weeks ago and his boat won first place in his den.

He really enjoys being a Tiger Cub and we're happy to have finally found an activity that he loves!
