A Year Older!

With Valentines day comes my birthday!

We had a great time and had some yummy and so cute cake that my friend Julie made for me. 

 On a sad note the day after my Birthday was my niece Katelyns 16th Birthday.  We miss her.

Valentines Day Fun

For Valentines Day  we had to make a box for Casey.  We had just seen the movie Despicable Me so we went with this minion design.  It turned out pretty cute!  It is hard with boys, they don't want the traditional pink box covered in hearts and sparkles.  We have to be a little creative.

 Grandma Horne got all the kids cute Valentines day shirts.  We took thier pictures but they are not very cooperative models.  Cute yes, cooperative NO!

Jamie's dance recital 2010

Just had to add this cute picture of Jamie at her recital this year.  She loves dance and is really good at it.   This is one of her best friends with her.  I had the camera sitting out so I could take it with me.  Then  right before we left I found our camera had been dipped in water by one of the little boys.  Luckily Chris took this one with his I pod so we got at least one.  As much as I love this dance recital, it makes me a little crazy.  It is always the weekend of our anniversary and Jamies birthday.  As if I didn't have enough to do.

Conversations with 4 year olds

This evening Evan and I were sitting at the table enjoying a bowl of ice cream. He asks me "can bad guys shoot through our door and get in?"  I reassure him that they cannot.  He said "Maybe we should get a gun! A glue gun and we can shoot glue all over the floor and they will get stuck and not be able to get us."  This whole conversation included him jumping off the chair, making a gun with his finger and firing glue all over the dining room.  You got to love this kid.

An Identity Crisis

Jamie just could not decide on one costume this year so she alternated between the three.  I loved the witch the best.  It was my costume when I was her age.

Love Those Snowy Days

Everyone here has been enjoying the snow.  The kiddos love to play in it.  We are so lucky to have a sled hill very near our house.  The kids have been over there every day to slide.

General Cuteness

One of his favorite places to be is on the cupboards.  He has recently found light switches and love for me to hold him up and turn them on and off over and over and over.........
