It seems like yesterday we were ringing in the new year with our boys. Now, they are bringing home flyers for Spring/Summer Activities, Year book order forms, Spring Break notices and etc.......
February was a month of LOOOOVVVEEEE!!!!! :)
My hubby surprised me with a beautiful pink sapphire necklace from Helzberg Diamonds...(Secretly named "Nelly's Diamonds") for Valentines' Day! I Love when he buys me things, he puts so much heart and effort into it, then as soon as he gets home, he is handing me the gift to open, because he can't contain his excitement!
What did I get him? Haha...Tinted windows for his New Pickup....very romantic! :) He liked them though, so that's all that matters.
Here is some news on my lovely Family:
I got to experience BOTH my boys addressing their OWN Valentine's for school this year. It was so bittersweet watching them write out all the names. They had fun doing it.
Hunter got to make a Valentine's Box, he was proud of it. Hunter ALSO had a "Valentine" this year, and he wanted to get her something, so we got her a box of chocolates.
It was so sad to see my little boy growing up wanting to get a GIRL a gift.
Trapper...he was more worried about making sure his Teacher had a present. He teased Hunter all the time about "his girlfriend", but on Valentine's Day, Trapper Burst through the door and said "MOM...there is a girl FAlling IN LOVE with me"!!!! I asked him how he knew that and he said "The card she gave me said "I like spending time with you, Valentine"....And he told her that Valentine meant "boyfriend" and she said I know. It was a priceless moment seeing him grinning from ear to ear with excitement!!
Wrangler enjoyed watching the boys do their crafts for school, and we made chocoloate dipped heart marshmallows. He enjoyed it! He likes to go to the Dr. with momma to hear "his babies" heart beat. He is now officially Potty Trained!!!!! Yay!!!! We went to Wal-Mart and he got to pick out some undies of his choice. He chose Thomas the Train. The first 3 days were rough, Momma was ready to throw in the towel, but the 4th day, he did great, and he has done great ever since!! I am so proud of him and his desire to be a "big boy" like his brothers. He wants to go to school, he wants a Nintendo 3DS like his brothers, he has some great idols to look up to, I just hope they realize HOW MUCH he looks up to them!!
We also got some very good news this month.....the Hubs put in for vacation to take our Spring Break Trip Home to Ks with us, and he was APPROVED for the Vacation!!!! The boys and I are so excited that he gets to come home with us!! He has been working 80 hours a WEEK for the last 3 weeks, with no signs of it slowing down any, so he is looking forward to the much needed mini vacation!!
I am so excited to get to go home with him this time!! Our friends and family are super excited that he gets to come home as well!! They all missed him at Christmas, and it just wasn't the same being there without him!
Today marks the 20th week of my pregnancy. It really hasn't gone by to fast or to slow...it just seems to be coming along. Our Anatomy Scan is Friday March 2nd. I can't wait to see the "little one" and am praying that the baby is healthy and there are no problems. I am also hoping that I may get a glimpse of the gender, to see if I am adding to my team of boys or if I need to brace myself for a little girl!!!! The hubs is rooting for Team Blue, but these other 3 boys are begging for a sister, so I hope they get their wish!!!
March is full of exciting things to come as well!! Birthdays, Gender Reveal, Spring activites are starting for the boys, Trip to Ks......I am looking forward to it!!!
Happy LEAP Year everyone!!!
