Happy Valentine's Day

Hope everyone had a great Valentine's day. Ours started very early! The night before I told the kids if they would go to bed on time there would be a surprise for Valentine's day. So Austin woke us up at 6am ready for his surprise. He really was happy when he woke up, even though the pictures say otherwise! He was upset because we only have two barstools and Addie likes to sit up there too so he was sitting on a cold trash can! We had pink donuts, pink milk and chocolate candy for breakfast. The kids had a fun day at school and brought home lots of candy. Avery also brought home flowers, a balloon and a little teddy bear with candy from her dad. That night Randy and I went out to dinner and a movie while the kids enjoyed a candlelight dinner with their Nana. It was a fun night!

Addie's New Tricks

I was trying to teach Addison how to roll your tongue and also how to make a fish face. She has the rolling tongue down great but her imitation of a fish cracked me up- I had to get it on video. The only problem with trying to tape her doing anything is she just wants to see what is in the camera!

Randy's Workout

Randy is in a competition with his family to lose the most weight percentage. They started January 1.... I told him it wasn't very nice of him to start losing weight while I'm gaining it!! Truthfully though, I'm very proud of his diligence in excercising.

He usually isn't dressed so crazy when he is working out!! I actually thought this was a funny outfit so I chose today to take the picture... hehehe!!! He is looking good though!

And I had to get a picture with Addie in the background because I swear everytime he gets on the treadmill I have to watch her like a hawk. She loves standing there and watching him but it scares me to death! Austin, on the otherhand, usually runs around the room in circles and says he is excercising like his dad.

Addie's first ponytail!

Everyone kept telling me I should try Addie's hair in a ponytail but I never thought it was long enough. Well, here it is! I must say... it has a lot of gel in it because the top and sides aren't quite long enough- but it was fun to do something different with her hair!

(On a side note... we are not Kansas Jayhawk fans. My sister in Lawrence gave us a couple of Jayhawk shirts that her girls had outgrown and Addie really likes the bird on the front.) Go Sooners!!!
