New Years to Valentines Day......

First we need to address Cole and all his mischief.....


-He likes to get into my makeup
-We call him the chapstick monster because he finds all chapstick in the house and swivels his little finger in them and then wipes it everywhere....(in fact on Valentines day he got into my RED lipstick and smeared it all over himself and everywhere else).

-He is the messiest little eater
-And he loves to color on everything BUT paper...walls, floor, himself....its awesome...


Okay, let's talk about New Years.....here we are on New Year's Eve day at the fiesta bowl parade (the best parade of the year).



The kids were so cute waving to everyone....they love this parade and never get bored...


We love that this parade has a bunch of blow ups....


New Years Eve

We brought out the Martinelli!

We actually celebrated early this year and told the kids at 10:00 that it was 12:00 and were able to put them down and watch a movie....good times...


In January we hit the train park (as we call it).






We also went on a family hike on a gorgeous day in AZ....love the winter we have been having.








Aren't my kids good posers.....ha ha....



Ava had career day at school and was to dress up with what you wanted to be when you grow up....can you guess?


Yep, a singer....


Birthday/Superbowl


Superbowl Sunday we celebrated Briant's birthday. His birthday was officially the day after, but had fun with friends the day before for the superbowl.


The week before Valentine's day Ava's school had a father/daughter dance. Ava was so excited and wanted to dress up and put makeup on for Dad.



Diamondback fan fest



Exploring the locker room (clubhouse)....



Ava's wall friend....

Her actual name is Presli and they play almost everyday. They have so much fun together and just hang out by the fence..


Valentine's day

Dad woke up and made a huge breakfast right in time before Ava had to go to school....she felt extra special and hopefully loved!

Ava requested I make flower Valentine's this year for her class...

This is Brec after enjoying a yummy Valentine breakfast...

Brec and his Valentine.....one of his besties at preschool and church...

I made the superhero Valentine's from pinterest for Brec's class....he loved them...

And...some of my Valentine decor...the wreathe was inspired by pinterest....



The pillows I came up with on my own and thought they added some decor fun!
