Our Valentine's Day

Our Valentine's Day was great! First, on Friday night Seth and I went to our stake's valentine dance. It was fun to dance and spend time together.



Then, on Monday the kids woke up to see that the Valentine Fairy came to our house. The kids got new shirts, a few small toys (thanks to Wal-marts clearance toys), and some candy. They were so excited and woke me up awfully early to tell me that it was Valentines Day. They were so excited to get their surprises and have their school parties.



My Valentine's was pretty nice too. Ethan had got me some flowers and cookies and had them sitting out with a note he wrote all be himself. He had it on the table before I came downstairs. He is such a sweet little boy and is always thinking of doing nice things for others.Then my outer big present was that Seth got me GREAT tickets to see Reba McIntire and George Straight in concert when they come in April. I am sooooo excited!!!!

After I went to two school parties, and swimming lessons my parents came down and watched all 7 grand kids so that we could go out on Valentine's night! It was Awesome!  We weren't planning on it but when they offered we made reservations to a real nice place and Seth and I got to go out and have a very nice dinner. I love spending time with Seth.

Here are some cute pictures I have taken lately....

6 Months!


Our little Izzy, as Ciara calls her now, is 6 months old! We can't get enough of her sweetness, and just how adorable she is! We all love her to pieces and is such a joy in our family!

I took her to get some pictures taken, so here is Bella at 6 months!







At 6 months Bella loves to play. She loves it when Ethan and Ciara or anyone gives her attention and she gets lots of attention. She LOVES her baths and swimming. She loves to eat everything and anything. She has the cutest rolls ever as she weighs 17 lbs and 11 ounces. She is so happy and is always smiling, laughing, squealing, and talking. She doesn't sleep through the night, she doesn't take great naps, she has to be held by me all the time but I feel so blessed to be Bella's mommy!!!!
