Awww.... LoVe!

Happy Valentine's Day!


This holiday is one of my favorite holidays, and has always been! It's a day to express your love for someone and just seems to bring peace to my world.


This morning I was reading love essays on MSN from different writers. They weren't saying which Valentine's day was the most romantic and what not, but why they love their spouse or different romantic things their spouse has done. And it got me thinking about all the amazing things my husband has done for me and the reasons I love him.

I was trying to think of the most romantic and cute thing he has done for me and there are just so many that I couldn't pick just one. There's the time I came home from school to rose petals leading to a candle lit chili dog dinner (one of my favorite meals). Or the time when he sent me on a scavengar hunt through our house for little trinkets he knows I love, but he hates because it just adds to our clutter. Or when he planned our 1 year anniversary weekend that was just unforgettable. Or driving me to the grocery store at 11pm to buy ice cream, brownies and gummi bears when I was pregnant. Or all the cute things he will say to me. Or things he will do for me. And I just hope with all my heart he knows what an amazing husband he is.

And to top it off... He's just as amazing as a father. And this year we are blessed to have the greatest Valentine Ever... our Jake!


I couldn't ask for a better day, a better family or a more perfect love than I have for my boys.

So Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you spend it with someone you love!

Just another busy week

So things have been a little busy lately. Last week, Jake and I took a little trip to the mall and had our pictures taken in on of those photo booths.

Those things are my favorite. Then we went to Babies R Us... that place is dangerous for moms! I could buy everything in there, but then I'm sure my husband would disappear... HAHA

Jake also has been rolling over from back to stomach! It just started out of the blue. He was arching his back and then ::BAM:: he's over! Everytime a camera is around though, he gets too interested in trying to see what's going on with that then rolling over. So I have YET to get it on film.

We had a visit with Kerry and went on a few walks this past week too!

Friday, I had a doctor's appt. to check out my wrist. It has been bothering me for a couple months now, so I finally went in. They couldn't find anything wrong with it but I get to wear this cool brace and have to get an MRI this Thursday... joy, joy! I just hope nothing too serious is wrong with it. BLAH!

This weekend was pretty exciting! We went and visited Grandpa Curt and Grandma Dawn Ann! Jake was a little grouchy so he wouldn't roll over for them, but after finally calming down, he was able to let me snap some photos.

Sunday, Cousin Jayden came over. We built a fort under the pool table, watched Wall-E and took some naps. Nana Crystal came by for a visit too! All in all, it was a pretty great week/weekend, though it was busy.

And now I must go pack up Lil Man to get this full week of errands started. Have a good one!!!

Big boy

Today, Jake has his 4 month check up. He weighs 16lb 10 oz which is in the 75-90 percentile and is 25.5 inches long, 50-75 percentile. Such a big boy!

He is finally starting to understand the spoon and food concept, eating veggies and cereal every day! I'm so proud of him.

Also he LOVES his jumperoo... he just goes CRAZY in it. I took a video and thought I'd share.

On Sunday, we threw a super bowl party with some family and friends. Jake has some of his friends come too for a little play date.

He and Cousin Atley played tons as well as Jake and his friends Jacob.

Friend Emily didn't want to play much, she just wanted her daddy. It was a lot of fun!
