Valentines 2016

Kenlee and I had a lot of fun playing with her hair for the few weeks before Valentine's Day.  She is such a sweetheart and loves to let me play with her long beautiful hair.



I ended up preferring the second style with the full bubble ponytail since it helped control knots while she was busy being a excited 6 year old.


Jordyn's first preschool Valentines Day party was Wednesday, the 10th. She picked out gummy lifesaver valentines. We also found out that Jordyn has a little admirer. Nate, her preschool teacher's son, has a crush on Jordyn and insisted that he had to buy her something. He got her an adorable pink teddy bear. She loves it! He is such a sweetie, he really made Jordyn's day! Sadly things were so busy I missed the chance to take pictures but she looked cute!

Kenlee's school party was Thursday, the 11th. She was so excited to have her first big party. She had to make 27 valentines for her class. She picked Hello Kitty cards with dum dum suckers (which are a favorite of hers)

Valentines Party 2016
She was so tickled by all the treats and cards she received. She came home with a giant mail truck envelope exploding with goodies. 
Since Valentines Day was a Sunday we kept things pretty chill. Daddy spoiled all of his girls with beautiful flower arrangements Saturday after work. The girls love when daddy brings them flowers too. My arrangement this year was above and beyond. He really spoiled me, they were GORGEOUS!



Sunday evening we cooked up some Papa Murphey's heart shaped pizza's(this has become our tradition with our small kiddos)(It was also nice that I could pick them up Saturday and keep them in the fridge til we were ready) We watched Princess and the Frog as our romantic movie, it was so fun! Tytan was in no mood for pictures but I still think they turned out cute and funny! Its so hard to get three little kids to smile and look at the camera at the same time so most of the time I just go with the real life shots. 

Ty challenged Blake and I to try and copy the kids pictures so this was our attempt. It was hilarious!

We had such a wonderful, chill, loving Valentines Day! I love holidays and this is definitely one of my favorites!

30th Birthday Wishes

We kicked of the festivities this year with a group party with our friends on Tuesday the 2nd. Their are three who have birthdays the first week of February. We made cupcakes for everyone to share. We love to all get together.

Wednesday, the 3rd, we took Blake out to dinner. This is the one time of year he gets to go have steak at Texas Roadhouse. Kenlee had to get some teeth pulled the next day so we planned ahead so that she could enjoy the evening with us. This is one of our favorite traditions, the kids talk about going all year. The kids always enjoy the atmosphere and the peanuts. The line dancing in the aisle was a treat as usual. We had a great night out with the cute kids!

Thursday, the 4th, we took Blake to the movies. We had wanted to do this on his birthday but the movie times made it hard for people to come wish him happy birthday so we decided to go the day before. We went to see the Peanuts Movie. It was great. The whole theater was ours, not a soul came but us. This made it chill since we didn't have to worry about some talking and Tytan wondering a little. The Perfect Movie Experience!

Friday, the 5th, is Blake's actual birthday. The stars aligned this year and everyone was off for the day. Blake was able to take off work and the girls were out of school for parent teacher conference.  We started the morning off right with a pj/donut/chocolate milk run to Lee's. Kenlee had several free donut coupons that she wasn't too excited to use from her reading rewards so we took them along. 



After we had devoured all the donuts we quickly got in all our warm stuff and headed out to a fabulous morning in the snow. We dug a couple snow caves and Tytan "linebackered" every snow pile he could find.










This year's cheesecake was a duplicate of last year, which is a first in the history of our marriage. He absolutely wanted the peanut butter chocolate cheesecake. I will admit, its on of my favorites I have every made. Yummmmm!!!

While we waited for Grandma and Papa to come and open presents a balloon fight started, of course! I of course just sat back and photographed the whole thing......




And of course once the "beat" daddy down to the ground the sliding began, Tytan even lost his pants down the slide. It was hilarious....


Handsome Man!


Tytan was very concerned while we sang Happy Birthday. He didn't cry but he looked around like we were all crazy. Guess we will see what he thinks when we sing to him on his birthday in a few months. Could be interesting...

This year we got daddy a new long sleeve active shirt and the movie When the Game Stands Tall. His parents gave him some movie money. (He has a lot of movies he wants to see coming out in the next year) 

The following Wednesday, the 10th, we gathered at my parents house to celebrate some of the greatest guys I know. Colton's birthday is the day before Blake's and they are so chill and let us celebrate them together. Blake got a new indoor/outdoor basketball from my parents, a iron man bobble head from Nato, movie money from Tiffany, Brock & Porter, and a collector edition magazine about the 50 years of Super Bowl from Karltonia.


Karlee made homemade chocolate pudding with homemade whip cream, it was so decadent! Mom got the fixing for ice cream sundays. What an amazing night of desserts! 

We are so incredible grateful for Blake and all that he does. He brings the awesome to our lives!

These boys and their football... Tytan loves that Daddy and him have matching hats, he insists they were them together all the time.

S.T.U.D Muffin!

We are a house full of Aggies and proud of it!

I can't help taking a picture of these cute little marshmallows. We have had several chances to go out and play in the snow this year, they love it!

What a MESS! He eats like a tornado!

We got to have Little Miss O while her parents celebrated their anniversary. Tytan thought she should push him in the stroller.

They might have their moments where they get on each others nervous but they really are the best of friends.


Yes, yes, that is a cheeto STUCK in his hair.....

Messy, Messy, Messy!
