Valentine's Weekend......

It was a very busy weekend filled with cousins, baptisms, surgery, therapy, heart cookies, sleepovers etc.......
Lots of Love........





Caroline sure is coming along. We are so excited!


She got a hold of a marker, drew all over her hands,table, face and clothes!
Look how excited she is, how could I be upset when she is developing and doing the things an "almost 2 yr. old" is supposed to be doing!!!! Yea!!!!

She was supposed to be sleeping. I peeked in on her and she had gotten into sitting position all by herself. Now I can't get her to do it again, but now I know she can!!!!


Halee and Cade were baptized, what a special day. Thanks for being good examples to the younger cousins!!!!

Charlotte had eye surgery. It was tough for her, but it's helping her and she is doing great.
Eye is still swollen.
Daddy and Kalicia got her a balloon for her surgery, that made her so happy!



Charlotte goes to St. Josephs hospital once a month for therapies. These are some of the things she gets to do to help her build her core muscles and gain balance.
We need to put one of these in the basement!!




Slumber party at the cousins!!!
Thanks Aunt Satya for letting us stay at your house!



We even got to meet up with Aunt Nat (Natalie, Mom's friend from College)
while she was here visiting from Utah.




After the fun Slumber party and falling asleep to Hanna Montana......
WE WOKE UP TO BIG COOKIES!!!!!!!




It was getting too messy to eat the "traditional" heart cookies in the house, so outside we went!


I have to tell Grandma Merrill, thank you so much for the white cloth. I don't know if this is what you are supposed to use it for, but I put flour on it and made sugar cookies right on it. The mess was easy to clean up, but my favorite part was that I could pick up the cookies without the giant cookies sticking to the counter and falling apart!!! I had fun making cookies this year instead of stressing out over it.

All this excitement in only three days, Plus a birthday party for Grandpa Merrill!

Happy Birthday Grandpa! We love you!!!
