Poppy Comes to Visit

We had a great time visiting my dad this week. Marki and Levi were ready to go home with him this morning. We were all coughing with runny noses so most time was spent at home. We already miss you and can't wait too see you in March if we come down. Love you!

Preschool Party

Today Marki had her Valentines Day Party at school and I was able to help out with the festivities. I came up with a craft for all the adorable kids to do. We had a blast! I was so proud of Marki and I cannot wait until Lee goes to school with her next year. The kids did lot's of Valentines projects and they all did such a wonderful job.

5 Months! How time flys by




Happy five months Oliver! You are really getting to be a big boy! Your laugh makes my heart melt and I can't wait to see the new things you will do in the next month. Right now you are getting used to your hands and fine motor skills. I bet you'll be sitting up before we know it. When ever you are awake you are smiling and laughing. You are really interested in your brother and sister and what they are doing. You will also be getting solid foods soon. We love your smile. Keep growing into the wonderful person you are!

30?!?! Your Old Brother!

Happy 30th Birthday Cody!!! Wish we could be there to celebrate it with you. Marki and Levi have made some birthday art. I just have to get it in the mail. I'll send it out today so it will get to you within a few days.



Do you remember when this picture was taken??? We went with dad and Gwen to Cold Mountain. Every time one of those "naughty" scenes came on you would whoop and holler and try and make it more funny and a little less awkward that our parents were at the movies watching the same naked stuff. Ha Ha Hee Hee.


I miss the old days of going to movies with you and you making me walk a little behind you as to not let any girls think I was your girlfriend. I hope you had a great time at your surprise party and remember, I am still younger than you are!!! You are also my favorite brother. Damon is a little sketchy and Scott, well, we all know about him! Love you!

Also, we hope the fire department is treating you well. They have fire departments here too you know!
