Happy Birthday Jenna!

My little sister is turning 22 today, I can't believe it! Jenna, I just wanted to tell you how much I love you! I'm so proud of you and the mom and wife you are. You are one of my very favorite people to hang out with, I always laugh so hard when I'm with you! I love that you always think of us when you are gally-vanting with Mom and pick stuff up you know we'd like. I love that you are always willing to do my hair whenever we're together, I know it's time when the compliments start slowing down! You are such a fun aunt to my kids, too, they love to see you and talk to you on the phone. I hope your day is great and you know we love you!

Happy Birthday!

Bear Lake Weekend

This weekend was a little while ago, but it was so much fun I really wanted to post the pictures!

We spent a long weekend in January with Chambers Family at the Painter Cabin at Bear Lake. We had such a blast!

The kids played non-stop, loving running and chasing and playing in the snow and just being with each other. The grown-ups laughed and loved hanging out!

Allie and Hudson were the cutest little buddies. Hudson has three cousins on the Chambers side born within 3 months of him, they definitely make for some wild family parties.

We had the crazy idea to take the kids skiing at "the Beav" on Friday...a first for a lot of them. What an undertaking that was! Just getting them each in boots and skis was quite the project...

It was worth it, though. We got lessons for most of them, and they had such a great time. I loved watching them all, especially Hudson in his tiny skis. Adorable! We got a private lesson for Hudson, and Kennedy was in a class with three of her cousins. They both loved it, Kennedy never wanted to stop, but Hudson was pretty tired after his hour. He was happy to go back to lodge with Mom and have some hot chocolate. I stayed right on the littlest hill, trying to be careful - a crash at 5 months along, I would not have been proud of myself - but Dustin had a ball chasing Mike down the bigger slopes. It was so fun to get out there!

One of my favorite parts of the weekend was watching the kids play Rock Band. Whoa, did they get into it! Hilarious.

We had a great time, Thank you so much Kim and Mike for hosting. Please let us do it again!

Valentines Day, Birthday!

Here is my little Kennedy ready for school on Friday, excited for her Valentine's Day party. (still a little tired, though!)

I saw this triple-heart hair-do on a website last year and was excited to try it out. She absolutely loved it!

And here are the kids excited for our traditional Valentine's "Fancy Dinner." They love using fancy cups for a fun drink. Kennedy set the table herself and made cute placecards. Steak and crablegs, thanks Dustin!

And because Valentine's Fancy Dinner isn't about fighting, this is what Hudson ate... :)

Dustin does such a great job with Valentines Day. The kids are always so excited to see his surprises set out for them that morning.

Here are Kennedy's...

Here are Hudson's...

And here are mine. Thanks Sweetie!

And Friday was my 29th birthday! I had such a great time. Dustin took the day off and we had fun going to lunch and running some errands together. That morning he and the kids gave me a Shark Steam mop, which I was ridiculously excited about, some treats (did you notice the one pound box of chocolates for V-Day, too? I will weigh about 300 lbs when this baby gets here. Serious.) and "Couple's Retreat" DVD.

Garret and Trulie came up to stay Friday night and we had so much fun hanging out with them. We went out for lunch, had a nap, and then went out for dinner and a movie, no kids! Woo hoo!

I was so touched by all the birthday wishes coming my way this weekend: Phone calls, messages with singing -love it- cards, and the most amazing blog post about me from my sister. It brought me to tears, Jenna, I was so touched. One of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me. I love you too! Thank you to everyone who made my day special.

I'm a lucky girl!

You can still be a "girl" till you're 30, right?

My Little Valentines

Valentine pictures are one of my guilty pleasures with the kids: Not really necessary, but it's just so fun for me to make them kiss each other and wear red that I can't help it. I couldn't believe the cooperation a couple of Fun-Dips bought me this year. And of course, then there are the fun Valentine cards to turn them into...

They are so cute I can hardly stand it!

It's A...

And we think she's beautiful already! :)

Webb Family Christmas Party

I've been hating myself every time, since this party that I have just had a nap when I had some quiet time instead of blogging about our fun family Christmas party. But you know what? I'm pregnant, I'm tired, so that's what's happening, like it or not! The good news is, I waited long enough and my mom and sister did all the work for me. I know its a total cop-out, but you can check it out here and here.

Thanks ladies!

Now, could someone please blog the Chambers Party, and my own pictures from Christmas here so I can be caught up?

And just because I hate posts that don't have pictures, here is this years card, probably old news to most of ya...

Happy Birthday Dustin and Mom!

My sweet hubby and my awesome mom share a birthday today!

My mom is one of my very favorite people in the whole world. She is so kind, loving, supportive, and not to mention beautiful! She has always been my greatest example, and it is my all-time favorite compliment when someone tells me I remind them of my mom.

Love you, Mom!

So, Dustin, the big 3-0 today. Crazy! Remember almost half your lifetime ago when we met? That was pretty much the day I fell in love with you, and you still are the best thing that ever happened to me. The way you take care of me and the kids is more than I could have hoped for. Do you know that Kennedy actually had a list for when we went birthday shopping for you? I couldn't afford most of the stuff on it, but you are a GREAT daddy and it shows. Not a day goes by that I don't think, wow, have I got the best husband. I hope you know how much you mean to me! And just look at him, folks. No wonder my kids are so adorable, right???

Have a great day, my two favorite people!
