Valentines

{Some of my favorite loves}

Valentines is one of those holidays that I feel I could take it or leave it.  I understand that you don't need a special day to let those close to you know you love them....but at the same time who doesn't like a little extra attention and love, designated holiday or not!  Leading up to the big V-day Natali informed me more than once that she was SO excited for the table to be decorated, fun little goodies to be found, and a special breakfast.  UH WHAT!  I guess she does remember the things I've done in the past, and apparently they are apart of our family tradition now.  I wasn't feeling super great but thankfully between the few decorations I had on hand, the gifts from grandma's, and Sam's Clubs bucket of powdered donuts the kids thought the morning was pretty fantastic.  Ben spent the day flying home from Vegas from a Conference.   It was good to finally have everyone home.

Hot & Cold

One of things you learn quickly living here in Texas is that the weather changes a lot.  In the same week you can have a high of 85 followed the next day with a low of 45.  We've learned to just roll with it.  One day we are hanging out in the backyard reading books in t-shirts & shorts.  

And the next we are playing super hero's with pants & hoodies.  

 I love this picture of Spencer...it is just so him!
