Happy Heart Day

Hope the day is as special for you as it is for us! 9 years ago Tyler and I went on our first blind date. It has been an adventure ever since and I know it will be forever more! Here are some fun pics of what we have been up to lately!

Tyler took the girls to a "Princess Ball" that our stake put on. He said it was the best thing ever and is looking forward to next year. They let each girl walk down the red carpet with her crown on and the spot light on them. Then they danced the night away. Hallie and Annie were dancing maniacs!
Tat Tat (aka Natalie) turned 4 months and now is almost 5 months. Words can not describe the pure love she brings to our family. It is so much fun having her with us. Don't you absolutely love those blue eyes! I do if you can't tell from all the pictures!



Annie loved having her friends over for a fun birthday party! She kept saying "This is the best day of my life!" I hope she will always be that easy to please.
Barry and Annie pudding painting to help make the winter blues go away! They were in heaven that they got to eat it and put it wherever they wanted!

Hope you all of a wonderful Valentines Day!

Happy Birthday Donk!

Look who turned 5!

Let me just start by saying how much love, laughter, squealing, giggling, crying, jumping, dancing, singing, and running you bring to our family. You truly are a ray of sunshine to us. Our lives would not be complete without you. Thanks for putting up with us as we try and figure out this parenting thing. You are a great one to practice on cause you do a little of everything! And I say that will a smile.
I need to get better at writing down all the funny things you say cause you are constantly making us laugh. And your little voice is adorable when you try and pronounce new words. You win your Dad over every time you ask for something using Spanish and I am sure you know it cause you always smile at him with a twinkle in your eye.
One of my favorite things about you is your love of hugging. Ever since you where a little baby you loved to hug. Every time you saw Mom and Dad hugging you would squeal and hold out your little arms until we picked you up. You still run to us and join in on the hugs. We absolutely love it and hope you always do!
I love watching you dance. You just somehow move with the music in such an effortless way. You have got the moves and you know how to show it! For your birthday this year you got dance outfits and you look so adorable in them. They fit your personality perfectly. Keep dancing...you've got a real talent!
I love you so much and hope that you will always know that. One night I told you that I love you more than anything and guess what you said "I know Mom, you always tell me that." And I will continue to "always" tell you that cause it is so true. You mean the world to me!

Happy 5th Birthday Sweetheart.
