he is busy

Hunter will crawl through anything. It looks like he and Hannah had a great time playing.

this will do

Hunter was in the play doh stuff and decided that the end of the rolling pin would be a great paci. He was so proud of himself!!!

more snow

I was supposed to have a work day today. After I got up and got a shower I got the call that we would have a two house delay. I decided to get some work done at home before I left. When I was about to get ready to go on and get some work done I got the call that it was canceled. We all four had a snow day at home. We are starting to get us to these snow days.

Happy Valentine's Day

We hope that everyone had a great day. Hannah has a little message for all of you. Hunter has a little to say as well.

our Valentine's day

We started today with breakfast at Panera. After a good breakfast we went to church. After church we had to drop off consignment stuff, since it was the last day to do so. While I waited on my stuff to be checked in Derrick and the kids went to Costco and Wendy's for lunch. I am proud of him for taking both kids out by himself. He is a great Dad. They did get me some lunch to eat on the way home. When we got home we tried to transfer the kids from the car to their beds, which did not work. I ran to Target then came home so Derrick could go to the grocery store and by a friends house. Hunter decided to take a late nap. We all finally all sat down together about 8pm to open our cards we had for each other. Hannah had made all of us cards with Nana. They were precious. Thanks Nana for making cards with her. Hunter was not very into the cards, but loved the paper. Hannah enjoyed opening her cards. It was nice to spend the day as a family and we loved all the hugs and kisses Hannah and Hunter gave. I hope that all of you had a great Valentine's Day as well.

Just a side note, today would have been MaDot's 78th birthday. It was a little sad not buying a birthday card for her and getting a card just for Papa Charlie. I know it was a hard day for him. I could not help but think that MaDot was having the best Birthday and Valentine's of us all. I miss her way more than I thought I would, but rest in the fact that I know I will see her again.

Cupid Chase 5K

Julia and I ran the Cupid Chase 5k this morning. It was cold, but still not as cold as the first 5k we did in December. I ran almost all of this one. I only had to walk a little. I am proud of myself for finishing with my best time yet, 35:57, but disappointed in myself for not pushing though and running the whole thing. I will get there. We are going to do a 10k in March and then the Country Music 1/2 Marathon in April. Thanks Julia for running with me.

watching Barney together

Hunter sat with Hannah for a few minutes and watched Barney with her. They are too sweet and cute!!!!

Valentine's in the mail

Hannah loves to get packages in the mail and Hunter is learning to love it too. Today they got Valentine's from Grandpa Mike, Grandma Nene, MeMe and Pop Pop. They had a great time opening them and loved all of their Valentine's. Derrick and I liked ours too. Thanks for sending prizes our way.

Hannah was going through all of her Valentine's from school before we got to the Valentine's from grandparents. If you look closely you will see that she was putting each card, candy, etc. in its on square. She was not happy that we put Hunter down because he messed up her system and was getting her candy.

She has on her Ariel wedding dress in the pictures of her opening her Valentine's from Papa and Nana, also. She puts it on just about everyday when we get home from school. She is the dress up princess for sure.

100th Day of School

We did finally make it to the 100th day of school. The kids had a great time. We did lots of fun things and had a very busy day. I have never had the 100th day and a Valentine's party a day apart. We usually have the 100th day in January, but we have been out of school so much for snow. Happy 100th Day of School!!

snow day #6

We were out of school today for the sixth day. Which means we have to make this one up. I am not worried about it because we had a good day and I am getting use to not working 5 days. We just played at home and the snow melted before we could get out to play in it. Derrick and Hannah went to Lowe's and Hunter and I stayed here and got ready for bed. He ate one of his teething cookies, which he loves and gets everywhere. When he was finished I gave him a bath and got him ready for bed. While I was making his bottle I heard him in the dinning room. I went to check on him and move the things he was getting into. I brought him back in the kitchen with me. I heard him crawl away and then heard him in the things I had just moved out of his reach. Doesn't he look like he knows he is busted? He got himself down and just crawled on to get into something else. Hannah did not pull up this early. I am afraid that one day soon he is going to just pull up and start walking.
