Baby Jensen's Shower...

Today we had Kristin's baby shower. Kristin and Chad are Alivia's god parents and very good friends of ours. I had a great time planning the shower with Kristin's friends. I especially LOVED that it was The Very Hungry Caterpillar theme. We had such a great time at the shower. We can't wait for baby Jensen to get here. His due date is April 21st! :)

The invitiations....

The party favor table...candy boxes (I thought this was such a cute idea)

The diaper cake. A mom from my school makes diaper cakes and etc...I thought she did such a great job! Let me know if you every need her to make you something. She is great!

The food...

MU baby strawberry!

The adorable cupcakes.........

Decorations...

Caterpillar guessing weight and length game...

Alivia was so excited to give baby Jense his quilt. It had been in the box in her closet for a few weeks and she kept saying "Mommy, when baby Jensen?" She was so excited to help me wrap it so we could give it to him!

The party planners and the beautiful mom to be!

Snow Day #9

Alivia and I had a great snow day! I wasn't expecting this snow day at all so I was pleasantly surprised when I got the call last night. Of course, I would rather be spending days in June with Alivia but I will definitely take a Friday off with my little girl. We met some of my good teacher friends with their kids for lunch at Jimmy Johns. The kids had a great time together. Hopefully Spring is just around the corner!! :)

Ava, Brielle, Alivia, Henry and Luke!

President's Day Playdate

Today we went to the Hunt's house to play. They are very good family friends of ours. Ashley, Matthew and Riley came too. Marty, (Nana, grandma Hunt) even stopped by too! We had a lot of fun playing with Alex and Ellie's cool toys. The kids play so well together and they are all getting so big!! I can't believe Alex will be in Kindergarten in a little over a year. CRAZY! We had a wonderful day. Steph, thanks for inviting us over to play. LOVE YA!

Game Night Playdate

Saturday we had a game night with our good friends. The moms and dads came too and we ate pizza and played. After the kiddos went to bed the adults had a game night. We had a great time. The girls are growing up so fast! I love how much they interact with each other now and it so neat that all three of them are only 2 1/2 months apart. We love ya!

My Little Painter...

For Valentine's Day Alivia got some new paints so we thought we would try them out this morning while Daddy was working in the garage. Daddy even got Alivia one of his old shirts so she could have a paint shirt. We had such a good time and she was focusing so hard on her colors. I was so proud of her when she said circle and drew a circle. She also knew all of her colors. What a big girl!!! I LOVE the weekends for this reason! I get to spend quality time with my precious girl!

Drawing her circle...

I drew the triangle to show her...

Practicing her name...

All her masterpieces!! :)

Playing Outside...

Since the weather was so nice we played outside Thursday and Friday night. Alivia had a blast playing with the neighbors. We are so lucky to have such wonderful neighbors. Alivia practiced riding her bike and was excited to bring her basketball goal outside. We definitely have Spring fever and can't wait for the warmer weather to stay forever!! :)

Alivia LOVES pointing at airplanes!

Happy Valentine's Day to Grammy..

After school today Alivia and I left a anniversary card at my mom and dad's house since it was their 30th anniversary and then we went to wish Grammy a Happy Valentine's Day. Alivia got her a teddy bear, mug and a flower. She was too cute when she gave it to her. Alivia also wanted to show Grammy that she was wearing her outfit she had made her. LOVE YOU GRAMMY!!

Smiling...

Serious stare down! too cute!

Happy Valentine's Day...

We celebrated Valentine's Day today. It was just perfect. I love that the weather was nice. It made for a wonderful day. Ben, as always, was really creative with his gift. This is our 8th Valentine's Day together and our 5 Valentine's Day married. Every year he makes something that is truly special. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband. Ben, we love you so much!! Love, Whitney and Alivia :)
