happy heart day!


I took the kids to have pictures taken in their Valentine's shirts yesterday. As you can see, Max was less than cooperative! He is naturally such an easy-going and smiley little guy, but the second you put him in front of a photographer he loses all facial expression! The poor photographer did everything but stand on her head and he just wouldn't even give a little grin. I thought these two pics turned out pretty cute...even if he's not smiling!! Ella was such a trooper! She kept trying to get him to laugh and she did everything that the photographer asked. She earned her icee reward! Of course, as soon as we were done, Max was running around giggling and playing! Little stinker!! Happy Valentine's Day!

happy birthday (great) grandpa & grandma

Both of my grandparents have birthdays this month. My grandma's birthday is today, February 12, and my grandpa's birthday was February 4. We had a combined little birthday gathering for them last friday night. These are the birthday cards that Ella and Max made (with a little help) for their great-grandpa and great-grandma. As always, we had a great time at their house spending time with family.

Happy Birthday Grandpa and Grandma!! We love you both so much. Hope this year is filled with many blessings!!
