Valentine's Day and Etsy

My Valentine's Day was wonderfully relaxing!  Fun breakfast with the family, shared valentine treats with the kiddos...sent them off to grandparents, great steak dinner with hubby, funny movie (Mall Cop), foot massage (hubby gives the best-est ones, teehee), chit chat and snuggling.  I got the best surprise this morning when I found that hubby left me the sweetest, most heartfelt Anniversary note on our bathroom mirror...it made me cry....I love him! :) 


BIRTHDAY ALBUM 6X5 3


isn't this cute???  i was inspired as my little guy just turned 4 recently.  visit my etsy shop (link to right) and you can order one of these cuties with 1, 2, 3, or 4 candles with it! :)


***off to scrap and catch up on challenges over at Scrapperie

young love.

i just have to share...


my son, Lake, came home yesterday from school carrying a rather large gift bag and a smile on his face.  He told me that THIS was for him and I couldn't look.  But then he quickly pulled everything out of the bag to show me. lol  A girl in his class, Emma, has had a crush on him for a few years now.  I've gotten to know her and her mother through school functions and such so I was tickled to actually hear it was from her (is that bad as my son is only 10???? haha).  Just a day or two before this I had asked Lake if he needed a secret admirer card and he just looked at me funny and thought for a minute and said "nahhh".  I proceeded to tell him that when I was younger I had received a few of those for V-day during my grade school years.  He just looked at me out of the corner of his eye. :)


So, I took him to our local Halmark store so he could pick sweet Emma up something.  He bought her a little 3" bear that says "your cute" on it's heart that it holds and he bought a heart shaped tin with chocolates in it.  He came home, quickly wrapped it all up in the gift bag we got and was ready for today.  I sooooo can't wait to hear how his day went. :)

THIS IS LOVE.

that's the title of this simple layout i threw together the other day.  this past weekend i was able to spend the whole weekend with my newest neice and i really was able to bond with her.  i actually miss her even though it was a bit overwhelming remembering how much hands on babies are.  Brody enjoyed her company too and was so gentle with her.  he was very sad when he realized she was going home...he thought we could keep her. lol


This is love
