Bekah and the boys

On Thursday we were lucky enough to have Miss Bekah and her boys come to visit us, and then it snowed so much on Friday they stayed an extra night. I am really thankful they did, we wanted more time with them! Tucker and Micah got to know each other. Tuck found out what it's like when all these kids get together, these are the boys he's heard so much about!

Selah loved another baby in the house, she hung out with me and Bekah most of the time. We played house and sisters with her, but she did occasionally joined in with the boys.

The babies!

It all came back to Zane how to hold a little baby, he did great.

On Friday night we though it would be a good idea to have a little down time so they snuggled up to watch Swiss Family Robinson and ate popcorn. This really was the best picture I could get of them all!

There was plenty of snow to play in!

All ready for bed.... this really didn't work but it was fun to try!

Look at sweet baby Micah's cheeks! He is a very happy baby and even let his Mommy hold Tucker for most of the time they were here!

Thank you for coming you guys, we had so much fun!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a Valentine party on Friday for coop, they each made boxes and Valentines for all of the kids.

Jude helped with Tucker

Very girly

Her Valentines were cute too!

Very penguiny!

And these were Luke's Valentines, he made all 49 of them! We even offered to help but he wanted to do them himself, this kid loves penguins.

He was so proud of them, each time he finished one he counted them all again.

Luke is clearly into crafts, Jack on the other hand chose a box of Valentines at Target, signed his name and called it good! How different our children can be. Happy Valentine's Day!

In the words of Selah

Me : Selah what do you want for breakfast this morning?

Selah: Oh just some hi ho cherrios (honey nut cherrios)

Selah: Momma, it's easy for me to wrap off gum huh?

Me: What Se?

Selah: It's easy for me to wrap off gum right?

Me: Oh, unwrap gum, yeah Selah it's easy for you to unwrap gum!

Happy 40th Anniversary

On Friday was my Mom and Dad's 40th anniversary and we had a party at their house to celebrate! Leah and the girls made a cake for the party and Mom and Dad had even found the cake topper from their wedding.

This is how the boys felt about the next part of the night. We got out Mom's wedding dress and Layken tried it on because Mom only weighed 95 lbs when she got married!

So pretty!

Dad got out his army uniform and it fit Jaysson!

Aunt Lele held Tucker all night so I could take pictures, this child loves to be held.... all of the time!

Mom used to wear this wig and the hairpiece Ainsley has on she wore at her wedding.

Presents! The kids worked really hard on a card for their Grandma and Grandpa!

We also got out albums to look at old pictures, the girls all loved it. Seeing their Moms when they were little and Grandma and Grandpa's lives before they came along, especially the outfits! Ainsley loved Grandpa's high socks and when he had a mustache!

Tucker wore his tie for the party.

It's so fun to look at old pictures and remember, maybe that's why I take so many now.

Our pretty setup.

I love the cake topper.

Mom even still had their invitations.

And looking through their wedding album was really fun! Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad! We love you!
