Love Love Love

We love baby Parker! Born in time for Valentines Day!


Miriam Loves How to Cake It...she nailed another mega cake. 
Chocolate chip cookie theme this go around.  That "Cookie Butter Butter Cream" is to die for!!


February is always so crazy busy for us!!! Added to that, an awful LONG cold that ran through our family (Darin and I are still getting over it).  I store bought the boys valentines without hesitation and thanked our lucky stars that there were no valentines boxes to be made this year. 

The kiddos got out, set up, and organized our annual Secret Valentine exchange.  It wasn't high on my priority list but the kids...especially Byron were SO DANG EXCITED about it!
They made it happen. 
It was so cute again this year! Everyone was sneaky and so sweet.  Byron made such a cute scavenger hunt for me, of course he gave me chocolate because he knows me, but he also gave me service coupons AND a never ending Hug coupon. It was adorable, and I know he agonized over what to do for me.  I know full well that the kids dread pulling my name out of the hat, gifts for moms are hard.



Miriam got up extra early on Valentines Day to make pink heart pancakes for her brothers. She loves her brothers...and they love her.


Small all girls ski group this week. 
Love that ski group.


Byron Loves Chess Club enough to spend an entire Saturday at a tournament.


Although he was disappointed in the outcome (we were totally happy he won 2/5 games) he still enjoys chess.
