First of all I just want to thank all of you that left a comment on my last post. All of your thoughts and prayers mean the world to me. I had tears running down my face as I read through each comment! It has been a rough two years, but we are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel so I feel as though I can not complain!!
What a busy weekend! On Friday John and I went out to eat at our favorite Italian restaurant, ALONE. Yes, we had a night out with out the kids. My mom, sister and niece came over and watched the kids so we could have a night out to celebrate Valentine's Day. We have been the last three years so I guess it is our tradition now! After dinner my other sister and her hubby came over to watch WVU play Pitt, otherwise known as "The backyard Brawl". I am sad to say that Pitt beat us in THREE overtimes. Oh well, it was fun cheering them on and of course we all had our WVU attire on....even Ayla and Brennan!
On Saturday we met my sister and her hubby again for lunch at the Grand Prix. My poor husband stood in line for over an hour just so Ayla could ride in one of the cars with him. After seeing the smile on her face, it was all worth it. She loved it, this was her first time, she kept saying, "Go fast,fast, fast". Oh, yes she is truly a daddy's girl. I did not get any pictures, I only had my Iphone and they turned out blurry, but I did want to remember this because Ayla had such a good time!
Today we did not do much, we had to run a few errands and then I went to kickboxing class. I have been trying to do it three days a week and I have also started the 30 day shred so hopefully I can lose these last 15 pounds! For Valentines day we got Ayla a little stamping kit Brennan a Boz and Veggie Tales movie and Kaleb a kit for his car so that it will play his Ipod. They were so happy with that but Daddy went out early this morning (before I was out of bed) and brought home more gifts as well as breakfast! He bought Ayla a set of music cd's, Brennan a Wiggles movie and Kaleb a new x-box game! Oh and he bought me a new external flash for my camera. I love it! I have been trying to get extra's for my camera here and there, this really helps with taking pictures inside. I honestly didn't expect him to get me anything since we had our dinner, so It was a nice surprise!
I have had fun this week celebrating Valentines day with the kids. We have made heart shaped cupcakes almost every day. Ayla and Brennan made Valentines with glitter glue and stickers. Ayla was so excited, she gives one to anyone that walkes through the door. I also bought some little wooden Valentines characters and Ayla has loved painting those too.
I hope everyone had a great Valentines weekend with your loved ones!! I am so ready for the warm weather. We have been stuck inside for the last couple of weeks because of the weather. I have started ordering some spring and summer clothes for the kids. This is fun, it makes me think that Summer is just around the corner!!
So I guess it's time to get ready for Easter now!!
