Happy Valentine's Day



Carter was excited about his gifts.



Bentley not so much...



but she soon discovered she had something




I LOVE YOU...



AND YOU!!!

The kids enjoyed their gifts. Carter got the Batcave, a leapster game, stuffed animal, book, and other little things. Bentley got a busy ball game, clothes, pajamas, a book, stuffed animal, and some little things. Joseph and I are celebrating next weekend in Miami where I will spend the day shopping while he is at the job site. I am very excited to shop ALONE!!! Hope you all had a Happy V'Day!

Can you feel the Love?




This was the best one I could get of them this morning. Needless to say, Bentley was not feeling it and Carter kept laughing saying, Bentley is a whiny baby and that made her scream LOUDER!




This was at Carter's party at school. Looks like the roles have reversed :) Needless to say, we survived the day of getting 13 heart balloons, a teacher gift, and 13 Happy Meals (all correct mind you) from a man who spoke very little english, and a Valentine's Party for 3 and 4 year olds :) Both kids passed out on the way home so I am enjoying some peace and quiet!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

25 Things About Me

I was tagged on Facebook to post this, so I thought I would share it with my blogging friends as well ;)

1. I am doing this because I have been tagged about 25 times and I feel bad.
2. First and foremost, Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and there in NO OTHER WAY to heaven than through him!!!!!!
3. I was baptized with one of my best friends, Marsha, and I will never forget it and that is a special bond we will always share :)
4. I have the best family and friends a girl could ask for.
5. I am living my dream by being a stay-at-home mom to my two precious angels, whom I thank God for EVERYDAY.
6. I never knew unconditional love until I became a mommy and it also changed the way I felt about Joseph.
7. I LOVE sweet tea, especially from Chick-fil-A.
8. I think I could eat breakfast from Chick-fil-A everyday and never get tired of it.
9. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE childrens clothing. I would love to own a children's boutique, but would not want to work there :)
10. I am obsessed with vacuuming and doing laundry everyday. I think clothes piled in the basket is gross. It drives Joseph crazy, because these 2 things must even be done on the weekend.
11. I love my church, Westwood Baptist, and all of its wonderful staff and members.
12. I wish I did not worry so much about the future and things that I have no control over...I'm working on it.
13. I LOVE the beach, but hate the sand and the humidity.
14. I am a very loyal friend.
15. I wish I was a crafty person, but I am not. Believe me, I have tried :)
16. If I could do it all over again, I would have majored in Interior Design.
17. Sometimes I wish I would have "gone away" to college and had that experience, but then I would not have met Joseph or my wonderful friends.
18. I have a Master's in Elementary Education, but got pregnant while doing my student teaching and then started staying home. Maybe I will put it to use one day....MAYBE :)
19. Before I had kids, I LOVED to shop, but shopping with kids is not so much fun. Thank God for technology and online shopping, its the best.
20. I HATE when people think their child is "the best" and does everything perfect and can do no wrong. Those kind of mommies get on my nerves.
21. Sometimes when I look at all the toys in my house, it gives me a panic attack. We have WAY TOO many.
22. I love that we talk openly about God to our kids everyday and Carter makes reference to him on a daily basis and hopefully Bentley will as well when she is older.
23. My husband has so much drive and is such a hard worker and I hope Carter learns good work ethic from him. There is nothing worse than a lazy man who doesn't put his family first.
24. I feel so blessed to be able to experience the best of both worlds having a son and a daughter.
25. Our house is a perfect example of: mama's boy and daddy's girl. I find myself defending Carter and Joseph always defends Bentley :)

Wow, that took me forever!!
