Meet my Valentines

Aren't they cute!

Jack's 3!

Jack the 3 year old

He can't get enough of his dinosaur obsession
he is VERY popular with all the teachers at school
he will play with anyone who will play with him
he is NICEST big brother ever
he is full of energy but crashes each night for a solid 12 hours
he is still the pickiest eater ever
he gives the best hugs
he loves to swim and does almost everyday
he will read books all day long
he was born to travel
he is my best little buddy

He is a BIG BOY and we are so in LOVE with him!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK

We had so much fun on Jacks Birthday. We went to the mall, played on the slides, went swimming (I''ll post pictures soon), had pizza, and blew out candles.
The day before Jack brought cupcakes to his class and was thrilled to death when his friends sung happy birthday to HIM!

{Here are a few Birthday cake pictures from the babies birthday last week}

Jane Taylor is ONE

Sweet Jane
Today you are ONE

you are crawling everywhere
you smile at everyone
you love every man that comes your way
you're playing with your big brother
you're learning how to walk
you only eating foods that have LOTS of flavor
you're keeping me up all night :)
you're saying momma, dada, Jack, whats that, and lots of cute jibber jabber
you are still the cutest thing we have ever seen
you turn heads everywhere we go
you just want to party and have fun

You are our Jane
and have been melting our hearts now for 365 days

Christmas Day

ah...the blessed moment of finally getting to see the loot!

It was so fun to see Jack's face when he saw all of the din-O-suars that Santa brought.

talk about heaven for this kid

all the goods that jolly old saint nic brought

The baby liked all her toys and everyone else's toys but most of all she liked this apple.

Classic "can you believe it" face from Chloe

Ellie and her new best friend Mr. Ipod

Christmas was so much fun! I love living vicariously through the little ones as they experience all the fun of the holiday's.

A little note for Santa: All I want for Christmas next year is my handsome hubby by my side!

Jingle Bells

I can't even begin to explain how great it has been to be home for Christmas! Having Dan here would have made it perfect...we are missing him terribly! Luckily I have the most unselfish husband in the world. He knew how important it would be for us to be home and for the kids to have a real Christmas filled with all the magic and fun we both had growing up!

Christmas Eve we had the age old tradition of opening PJ's.

Jane is loving the carpet and has become a crazy lady. She is absolutely LOVING all the attention from the girls, her Auntie Leah, and her Gram and Peeps!

Nora came over and we got all the little kiddos together for a picture. So cute!

Two peas in a pod

So cute in their new jammies!
