Hearts
Yes, I really do think things taste better if they are cute.....and what's cuter than hearts?! We celebrated Valentine's Day with the kids (though we did do a "date night" the night before, which was SO nice!). We had heart shaped pancakes, heart shaped pb&j's, and you guessed it, heart shaped pizza. We made heart shaped cookies for all of our valentine's too.....and I really enjoyed all of the reject cookies!! It was a fun day and boy, do I LOVE these kids!
Valentine's Day
We had a fairly successful photo "shoot" for Valentine's Day.....the kids were very cooperative.....I'm quite sure that was due to the HUGE lollipops bribe :)

Kids
I find my self busy with with the kids lately......our days are full, but not with anything that's too exciting to report. With life as busy as it is, I'm sure I don't write as many things down in the baby books as I should.....and things are forgotten so quickly that I am doing a "recap".....both Jake and Mia are at such fun ages! Both have their challenges, but they keep us smiling!
MIA
Climbs anything and everything
Is a binkie addict
Has still never slept as more in a 24 hour period as her brother
Is down to one nap a day
Loves the words stinky and NO
ADORES her brother
Says "hiiii" to you like she hasn't seen you in weeks....and it's only been long enough for you to throw a load of laundry in the washer
Puts her head on my shoulder just before I put her in the crib.....a little slice of heaven
Has the sweetest kisses and hugs......if she is in the mood to share them
Is gonna keep us on our toes!!
LOVES dogs and babies
Does not like it when mommy leaves
Melts my heart each and every day...
JAKE
Has really awesome language skills but says "yittle" intead of "little"......part of me hopes he never outgrows it, because it's so cute!
Will do anything if you let him watch a show
Is finally eating dinner after nearly a full year of protest
Says "I love you mommy/daddy" often....and in the sweetest voice you've ever heard
Starts most statements with "well, ya' see"
Thinks knock knock jokes are hysterical....with or without the punchline
Could live on pickles.....and french fries
Does not transition well
Thinks that "please be gentle with your sister" means.....okay, you can tackle her one more time
No longer naps.....and thoroughly dislikes "quiet time"
Does not like to participate in group activities....even if it's something he likes to do
Has mood swings similar to those of a teenage girl
Would sit and listen for as long as someone was willing to read to him.
Can officially beat me in the game, memory
Thinks any variation of the word "toot" is pure comedy....and says it as often as possible
Knows the difference between a phillips and a flat head
Thinks that "please hurry" means go as slooooow as you possibly can
Is protective of his sister if someone ELSE is being mean to her.....though the same rules don't apply to him :)
Is the sweetest little man I know
Gives the BEST hugs

Ellen Show
Julie and I took Mom to see the Ellen Show as a 60th birthday present and it was SO much fun! We spent the weekend near Burbank.....did some shopping....had some good food.....and then headed to the show on Monday. We arrived at 1pm for a taping at 4pm.....there was a fair amount of waiting around, but they did a good job of keeping us all entertained! We saw Juliana Marguiles and Kevin Nealon (who was hysterical)....and did a lot of dancing!
Here we are in the audience....Julie is on the left, I'm on the right....and mom is in the middle of us.....behind that really tall person :)
Brian had the kids all day Sunday and took the day off from work on Monday to stay with them as well......in 10 years at Clorox, I think this is the first time he's taken a day off for something "just because". It was also his first time having the kids by himself for any extended period of time.....he and the kids had a great time and he ROCKED the whole Mr. Mom gig! I came home at 10:30pm on Monday and was pleasantly surprised to find the house clean, the kids bathed, and flowers + a homemade card. I could not have been happier!
