Our Valentine's Day!

We had a wonderful Valentine's day!
Me and the kids stayed in our Pj's all day because Ayla was out of school!

Ayla wrote a song and sang it to her Dad when he got home from work! It was so cute!


She also made him a card with a lift up!

It say's "I love you Dad" all over it!


Ashy in her Pj's!


Kurt brought me home some flowers!


Then I put all of our Valentine's out!
It looks a little crazy! I like to get the kids a few toys and all of our favorite goodies!


Kurt and I were so surprised that Ashlyn was opening her presents and couldn't get enough! She barely opened her gifts at Christmas!


It was so cute, she would open a present and then say,"Ohhh!" and it didn't matter what it was!
We ended up letting her open our gifts as well because we were having so much fun watching her!


The girls were excited about there chocolate smelling bears!


And their heart pillows!


Ayla was so excited to get Tootsie Rolls!


And I had to have my Dove chocolates and my peanut butter hearts!

Kurt got his soft chocolate chip cookies and his KitKats!

Ashlyn got her raisins!

We had a great Valentine's!

How was yours?

My Baby Shower!

So my awesome sister, Marion threw me a baby shower! This time it was a lot better than my first! My first one was a madhouse!

We only had family and family friends come. I wished I could have invited other friends but then it would have turned out like my first shower.

Carolyn, Shaylyn, me and Tonya!
We have been friend's with Tonya for about 23 years! Shaylyn is her daughter. I used to watch Shaylyn a lot when she was a baby and toddler! I love how she has grown into such a wonderful, beautiful, young women! Tonya you did a great job!


This is my great niece, Kaitlyn! Isn't she so cute?

We all had a lite lunch and then I opened presents! 


I so loved this onesie! 
I actually got 2 of them! I love my reaction and my cousin, Amanda's reaction in this picture!


Amy and Melissa!
Once again, I have been friends's with these two awesome ladies for years!


My sister and I made puff balls for decorations!
You can also see my 2 cousin's Barbra and April!


I love getting homemade blankets!


I like this picture because it shows people's reactions to me opening my gifts!
You can kind of see how many people were there. I still had a really good turn out, which made me feel so loved!


And her is some more!


In this picture you can see my pile of awesomeness! I got a lot of cloths that I needed. Also if you look behind me, you can see the new pack and play that my Mom and sister, Marion got me. I needed a new one. My old one has gotten worn out with my first 2 kids!


And my awesome friend, Tonya (the one in the first picture) got both of my girls a present as well! I thought that was so sweet! Thanks Tonya!

The shower was perfect!

I am so thankful to my sister for throwing my a shower that I could enjoy!

I am thankful for those who came and supported me! I love you all so much!

Ayla lost her first tooth! Or should I say teeth!

In honor of Ayla's birthday today, I thought I would finally do the post on her losing her first 2 teeth!

 On January 12th, Ayla had her first lose tooth ready to come out. If you look closely it is her left bottom front tooth.

That day, we had my sister, Marion and my parents over for breakfast. Marion as a kid, loved to pull people's lose teeth out. She did a few of mine. I remember her doing it for some of our cousins. Well she still likes to do this. I know she has done it for some nieces and nephews. Well she talked Ayla into letting her pull her tooth that day!

 Here they are laughing about it! I love that they are pulling the same face!


 She started tugging!


 It hurt a little bit!
I then put some numbing gel on it and...

 it came out!

 If you look closely, you can see her tooth on Marion's hand!


 Ayla holding it up!


 We put it in a bag!
Look closely and you can see that it is gone out of her mouth!


 Ayla was so excited she had to run outside to tell Grandma and Grandpa!
My parents are awesome! They were outside shoveling my icy driveway, so that I wouldn't slip.


 The next morning the Toothfairy had came! Ayla got 2 dollars and I took her to the dollar store to get something. She picked the little bus and some chocolate!


 On February 2nd, Ayla lost her second tooth! It was the one next to the first tooth she lost! Once again, I had my sister, Marion and my parents over for breakfast and Marion pulled her second tooth! This time I put the numbing gel on first.


 Once again, the Toothfairy came and she got 2 dollars! I took her to the dollar store and she picked out these 2 bunnies. One was for her and one was for her little sister Ashlyn! I thought it was so sweet she gave one of her dollars to her sister! This was a proud Momma moment!


Here are the 2 of them are with their bunnies!

One more thing I want to add about Ayla for the end of this post, is how proud I am of her and what she has learned in school!

I can't believe how much she has learned this year in school and at home! I like that she gets packets of homework sent home, so I can work with her to see how she is doing.

She is really good at art and drawing. Below are a couple of pictures from one of her packets! I couldn't resist taking the pictures because of how cute her drawings are!

 Here is a cow, a pig and a horse!


 And here is a dog!


One of the biggest accomplishments Ayla is doing, is learning how to read! Her Dad is doing a fantastic job with her! Last night, she read the book "Go, Dog. Go!" all by herself in one night. She has read it before but it took her 3 nights, so she has improved a ton! I am so glad because I struggled with reading and she is already doing better than I did!

Ayla Mommy, is so proud of you! And I love you!

Happy birthday. today!

I can't believe you are turning 6 today!
