Growing Up.

Guess who finally lost her first tooth?

Ava said it took forever.

I said she was growing up too fast, so a slow wiggly tooth was ok.

She said the tooth fairy didn't come.

Opppsss....I said, check back later.

She said mom tooth fairies don't come during the day (upon discovering 50 cents)

I said maybe tonight the fairy will finally show up (at the right time)

This morning she said mom she still didn't come.

Oppsss AGAIN! Maybe i'll get it right next time.

Afterall, this was one tooth down, SO MANY more to go :o)

My Favorite Valentine[s].

For God so LOVED the world that He gave is ONE and ONLY son. That WHOEVER believeth should NOT perish but have EVERLASTING life.
John 3:16

I'm still in awe of a God that loves me THAT much. I think HE is the BEST valentine ever. BUT I am also SO thankful for these two too...

I never deserve the 'mother of the year' award BUT they still LOVE me.

AND I LOVE this guy...

And guess what? He LOVES me even when i don't deserve the 'wife of the year' award. He tells me ALL of the time how MUCH he LOVES me. I could learn from that.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY to ALL of the LOVES of my life.

j.u.m.p.

Marin loves climbing, running, but most of all jumping! Our beds aren't for sleeping...they're for squirmy little 2 year olds who can't sit still...at least that's what Marin thinks! I tried to get a picture of her jumping, but of course as soon as the camera came out, she was done; however, these pictures were too cute not to post...
