Flowers & Love, Flowers & Love, Flowers & Love

On Thursday after work & School the kids were playing outside. They both came in with hands full of flowers they had picked for Mommy. It was so sweet of them.

Latter when Ryan got home I said I needed to run to the store to get some hamburger buns for dinner and pick up some pictures. Ryan & Ethan offered to go for me. When they got home Ethan handed me bouquet of Yellow Roses (My favorite).

On Friday while I was at work we were just finishing lunch with my class when the office buzzed my room and asked me to come to the office. When I got to the office I found a box with my name on it. When I opened it up it was a bouquet of Red Roses & Baby's Breath (the vase was laying behind it). Ryan sent me these beautiful flowers with a very sweet message. It was the first time he has every had flowers delivered to me and it made me tear up. I love my husband. He is so thoughtful and I think it was very sweet of him to get me flowers 2 days in a row.

Cousin Gabe's 5th B-Day

In January we celebrated Gabe's 5th Birthday. This was lots of fun but also a little sad. This was about 2 weeks before Gabe and his family were leaving for another overseas journey for about 2-3 years.

Madalyn Lost Her 1st Tooth

The last week of December Madalyn discoverd her first "wiggily tooth". She was so excited to have a "wiggily tooth". She also made sure everyone knew about her tooth. On Sunday January 25th we were driving home from Papa's & Meme's house ,where we had dinner. Madalyn tells me in the car to look how loose her tooth has gotten. I turned around to look at her & she uses her tounge to move her tooth. She pushed it so far over that her lip hid the tooth and it looked like the tooth was already gone. I said she would probably loose her tooth before she went to bed. When we got home I asked her to get ready for bed and then I wanted to take apicture of her VERY LOOSE tooth. I went to change into my PJ's and then grabbed my camera. When I got in Madalyns room her tooth was laying on her bed and she had alittle blood in her mouth. I guess she just couldn't help playing with her loose tooth. We got her baby tooth into the little pouch on the special Tooth Fairy pillow that Meme made. Then we took lots of pictures. She also had to call both sets of grandparents , Uncle Travis , Aunt Amy & her Smith cousins. Was she excited or what?

Ethan's Geo Trax

Ethan has been collecting Geo Trax since he was 2. Since he got a few new trains for Christmas. Daddy & Ethan decided to set up the train set in Ethan's room. Before now we have never really had a good place that was out of the way to set it up. We were able to leave it up for the whole month of January. Ethan and Madalyn played with it nearly everyday.

One night in early January the kids were getting ready for bed. When I heard them giggling I went to see what was so funny. This is what I found "Marshmellow kids".
