valentine's day.

if you can't tell i'm trying to get all these february happenings shared. 

we made frames for our grandmas and daddy. i wanted a picture of all three of them to put in the frame. i got the big kids dressed and went out to "test" it. aka, see if they would go for it because will was sleeping and i didn't want to wake him up for nothing.

they put their arms around each other and gave me the cutest smile. omg i just about had my dream come true. insert lots of praises and me running inside to change will as fast as i could. run back outside and announce will wants to join in.

really will? okay, fine who cares if he's not happy atleast he's in it. okay, time to add blake. always add the toddler last. 
92
oh, right. now the toddler won't cooperate and i have woken the baby up from his nap and he's grumpy. lesson learned. i will never do that again! 
oh, look who's ready to take pictures. but, he won't take his sisters hat off or the hello kitty bracelet.

we survived.

this week! i can't tell you why it felt so long but it did. well, probably bc of the colds, congestion, cough, will not eating, daddy working late, a little girl climbing in our bed, temper tantrums, etc. with 3 kids under 4 it's pretty much our lives. ha! but the good ALWAYS outweighs all of these things.

thankful for these stills to remember our days when it feels like such a blur sometimes. still thankful. always thankful. for our health, for laughter, for family.

my three that call me mom, all in their own way.
through the cries, whines, and yells.
