Fun Brother Time...

The other night Brady comes downstairs wearing Luke's old halloween costume. Come to find out, Luke had helped him get it on so he could chase him around and scare him. I think he is teaching Brady the art of scaring, so what better way than with a lion costume.
If you look closely at the above picture you can see Luke peeking around the corner waiting for Brady. They had so much fun with this!

Life Group Valentine Party

Last night we had our Small Group Valentine Dinner at Dan & Katie's house. They did a wonderful job on the decorations and we had Olive Garden for dinner.
Each person submitted their baby pictures to Katie & her mom created this lovely board for us to try to guess who was who. It was such a cute game.

Our whole group. What a fun time! As always we feel so blessed to be part of such an amazing group!

Happy Valentine's Day & thanks Crockett's for hosting!

Our Valentine Card

Post Valentine Party...

Tonight Luke was going through his Valentines he got from his school. One of his sweet little girl friends game him a Tinkerbell valentine. He pulled it out and said "yuck! I don't want that! I dont like Tinkerbell". "Why did she give that to me?"
I couldn't help but laugh and try to explain how valentines really work...

Luke's Valentine Party

Today was Luke's Valentine Party at school. He made this lovely heart bag to hold all of his valentines.


The kids got to decorate heart valentine cookies. As always, Luke did an amazing job and used as much icing as possible!


Here's the class as they decorated.

Luke and Rafi...not sure why Luke is making such a crazy face...

Luke & Madi. Again, not sure why the face...

Here Luke is giving Madi her valentine from him. He gave each kid a fun dip and some bath foam. Mrs. Alissa had each kid pass out their valentines one by one which I thought was really cool.

Here is Joseph giving Luke a valentine.

Opening some "mail" from Mrs. Alissa.

Cute handprint picture for Valentine's Day!

Mrs. Alissa gave everyone a valentine glow light, so we turned the lights off and played- the kids loved it!

The whole class with Mrs. Alissa.

A fun silly song at the end of the party. Sticking your tongue out was part of the song.

Luke had been looking forward to his Valentine Party for several days and I think it was all he hoped it would be!

A Smile From A Happy Boy

As you can see, Brady is feeling much better and is completely healed from his Hand, Foot, & Mouth rash. YAY!!!

Hand, Foot, & Mouth

Poor little Brady woke up today with a terrible rash covering his hands, feet, & mouth (inside & out). I took him to the doctor and sure enough...he has hand, foot, & mouth rash. He has not been sleeping well for the past three nights and now I know why. Here's what it looks like...

I am praying this goes away soon so he can finally be free of the pain. Poor B-ball :(
