ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE

What a lovely day. I enjoyed everything about Valentine's Day this year; from the decorations down to the chocolate covered strawberries! The boys even got into it...sharing sugar cookies at school, decorating and delivering valentine's cards, helping dad pick out the perfect gift...just lovely. Jared and I went out on our Valentine date last night, Saturday night. Dinner and a movie. We finally saw The Blind Side...and loved it. No joke, every time we wanted to see it, it was sold out! I love my Valentine and am always happy to spend time with him! This morning the boys opened up their gifts... bubbles, sidewalk chalk. pez candies. You would've thought it was Christmas by how excited they were! Love was in the air today. Our day was filled with lots of hugs, kisses, sweets, and "I love You's." At the end of the night Wyatt exclaimed, "I love this day!"

If you can believe it, judging by the picture, Levi has been sick with bronchiolitis and a double ear infection since Monday, and he is still a happy little guy.

"Cheat you up"

Wyatt has been saying this for the past couple of days... I think it's because he watched the video of Cameron and I at London's Run. On the video I grabbed Cameron's shirt when he ran out in front of me, and he asked me why I did that? I told him that I didn't want Cameron to beat me, so I grabbed his shirt. Jared mentioned to Wyatt that I was trying to cheat!

who, me?
Wyatt found these glasses Jared brought home from work the other day. He thought they were so cool, and perfect for "cheating you up!" Jared asked how they worked?
Can't figure it out? It's genius! The part that sticks out could be used to grab some one's shirt... Get it now? Wow, these are cool!

Her Day

Me and pretty lady-February 2006

It's been 2 years since my sweet mama passed away. Some days I can't believe it's only been 2 years, while other days it feels like it's been forever since I've seen her. What I do know is that I miss her.

A lot.

Everyday.

Sometimes I'll get ready to pick the phone up to call her with a question, and then I will remember...

I worry.

Will I remember everything about her?

Will my children know anything about her (Wyatt doesn't remember her, and the others never met her).

Monday was her day. She would've been 52.

She could be spoiling 4 more grandchildren (Instead of just 2).

Too many would have's and could have's to count...

Monday was an interesting day for me. At breakfast I was trying to explain to Wy and Luke that it was Grandma Webb's birthday. They didn't know who I was talking about... I have lots of pictures of her around, but it made me realize that I don't talk about her enough.

My mom's grandma is still alive (and not doing well), so I called her and talked with her. She was confused for a lot of the conversation In fact, when I told her it was my mom's birthday and reminded her that she passed away, she sounded surprised. It made me sad that she didn't remember. The last thing she said to me was that she was proud of me and my family of boys. I cried when I realized that she knew who I was, even if just for that moment. I know she will be joining my mom soon...and I hope she will tell her "hi" for me.

Later that night everyone, minus Cam and Jenny, came over to our house for some homemade pizza, cupcakes and ice cream. Dad presented us girls with some jewelry that my mom had. It was given to her by her mom, which made it really special. The best part of the night was when everyone told what they loved about mom most. It was fun sharing memories of her.

Happy 52nd Birthday, pretty lady!
