Happy "Valentine's Day ".....2008

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

Well yesterday was exciting and today is going to be busy.. I am going to make every effort in visting all of the cousin's.. today and give them there Valentine's Day gift from Drew & Brody... So first stop is going to be the furthest Nana Darlene's house.. by the time I got everything packed into the car I was already 30 minutes late, not to mention that I had to go to the party store and get balloons for Chase.. so I ran into the store and gave her the balloons to blow up and OMG!!! she took forever, I was like hello I have kids waiting in the car- Dont worry they were right in front of me.. anyways, this girl was Slow, finally after I got the balloons off to see Kaden and Nana... We pulled up and I look behind me to get them out and they are both asleep... I couldnt believe it.. So I handed Drew to Darlene and grabbed Brody, the minute Drew saw Dice.. she woke right up...

Kaden, Drew & Brody are so difficult to get a picture of them together....

but I got the boys together, I gave them these lips things that make a loud noise when you blow in them.. it seemed like a good idea..

and here is a shot of Nana Darlene with the kids and Dice...again a really hard shot to get...
Then we all had lunch together.. and then I realized they are all together looking in the same direction.. so here they are..

After that we went to see our newest cousin.. Chase Irons and helped him celebrate his first "Valentines Day".. They are re- doing the hospital and what a nightmare it is to get in there.. It was raining, cold and I had to walk so far with the kids carry two balloons, cookies, and cards.. I couldnt believe it.. but we made it..

They re-did the hospital rooms.. Wow- they are so nice..

First "Valentine's Day"....I got to hold him today... he is so little..

Then after the hospital I went to Nana Claire and Papa Jim's for the biggest group of cousins... I also gave them the big lips to blow into..and we did the grab and drop with them and hoped for the best with the picture..

Drew, Brody, Skyler, Sophia, Dylan and Talon..

Drew, Sophia and Talon didnt want the lips at first until they realized they made noises... I couldnt decied which picture I wanted to put in ..

Sophia got it.....She looked so cute with the lips..

Then I gave them there V-Day gifts, I took the candy out of the stem of these and put Cheerios in them instead... hehehehe, but then out of nowhere the boys started to use them like swords and started hitting each other with them- in a very playful, funny way...

Sophia and Drew didnt like it though...

But Brody and Talon loved it...

and Skyler and Dylan did too...

Drew wasnt in the mood and over tired so of course not wanting her picture taken.. but here is Nana Claire and Papa Jim with them...

and then when daddy came home we gave them there V-Day gifts from us... They got these cute bubble blowers and each got a HUGE ball..

Drew holding onto her HUGE ball..

Brody kicked his into the kitchen and rolled over the top of it...

But our night wasnt over.. we had one more stop to make.. the Iverson's house.. to see Hanna and Cody, and Uncle Paul & Auntie Brandye..They were getting ready to leave for a camping trip for the weekend..

Drew, Hanna, Cody and Brody...This is by far the easiest picture to take.. I always feel bad that they take such great shots that I only need to put in one picture so this time... I am putting in two pictures of them..

They are so cute !!!

Finally on our way home.. Drew got it.. the lips that is.. and has loved it ever since..
I couldnt believe it though.. after I got them to bed I realized something.. this is the first time since they have been born.. that I didnt get a family shot of all four of us.. :o(
