Valentines Day!

I think any holiday with kids is so much fun! Today was a wonderful day watching the boys get excited to go to their Valentine's Day parties at school and then the excitement when they got in the van with all of their treats! We started the day off with a fun little Valentine breakfast then off to school. When Carson got home we had a nice dinner with the kids. Marcus' favorite shirmp, Carson's sweet pork, Alec's chocolate, and Olivia's yogurt! We had to start the dinner off with a sweet prayer from Marcus and then we had to do cheers to "Valentines Day"!

In our family you never really know how much we can celebrate Valentines because of Carson's line of work. Carson and I actually never celebrated Valentines until I quite work when Marcus was one. We had worked so much that by the time we got off of work at 7:00 or later on Valentines night that we were way to tired to even think it was a holiday! Now that we don't work in the flower shops and Carson delivers to them it is a little different. He was so busy the last week and a half, but was able to be home by 7 last night to help celebrate it. When Carson delivered to Freds and told me how Barb showed him how orgainzed she was and all of the flowers they had and orders, for about 10 seconds (literally no longer and no less!) I missed working over Valentines, but overall I am so grateful that I was able to be home with my kids, enjoying this fun holiday with them! Thanks Carson for letting that be possible for me, love you!!!

So when I tried to take a picture of my cute kids Olivia was being impossible so enjoy the photos, but sorry I couldn't get anything to special with all three of them!

Tanna said...: Court, I'm glad you got to have a good Valentines Day. I don't think your in-laws are in our ward because we don't actually have a nursery leader called yet, but we could have been using their balloons because since we are a brand-new Ward, we don't even have toys for the nursery and we have been using other wards toys! It would be great if they were in our ward, though!!; February 16, 2008 at 6:07 PM

Marcus

Marcus is 8 years old! He is just about ending his 2nd grade year. He has done so well growing and learning new things this past year. Marcus is also a Boy Scout, we have been working so hard at passing off all of his awards so he can recieve his "Wolf" badage. I love his go get'em personality, it helps him to excel in school and strive to be the best he can at sports. He is enjoying all sports, at this time his lovesare baseball and basketball. Marcus is a great kid, loving life to its fullest! We are so proud of our Marco man!

Alec

Our Alec Mason is 6 years old and going into 1st grade. It is hard for me to think of him being old and big enough to be in school all day! Alec is a great, tender hearted kid who has not eased up on his stubbornness at all! We love him dearly and are so grateful for the light he brings into our home. He is still loving Super Heros, but at this time he is enjoying spending lots of time on his bike, scooter, or running around the neighborhood. Some of his favorite past time activities are: climbing up trees, standing on his head, doing round offs, playing the Wii, trying to take his big brother down! He is great with his little siblings and he is either getting along great with his big brother or is finding anyway to fight with him! He loves to give Payton kisses and hugs and to watch him do things for the 1st time. His favorite sport to play is soccer, but is willing to do what ever sport that people are playing at that time. He is such a special person in our little family, we love him dearly!

Olivia

Princess Olivia is 4! She has been going to Preschool this past year and loves it. For the most part where ever Olivia goes there is sunshine, she is such a happy, talkative, outgoing little girl. She talks a lot, but to her defense it is because she has a lot to say! Olivia is quite the Princess who loves to dance, play with babies, wear makeup, and play with friends. She loves to dance around the house and in her dancing class, she is quite the natural. She loves to hang out with her big brothers and loves to be a little mother to her baby brother. We love our little Sunshine girl!
