Happy Valentine's Day

We made some homemade Valentine's cards this year that were really cute - and even though Miles has both boys and girls in his preschool class, everyone likes Star Wars right? We debated between swedish fish and goldfish crackers for Claire's cards, but since we don't love the gummy fish, the pretzel goldfish won out.

Dinner with Cousins

These kiddos love each other so much -and act like siblings with their fights and hugs. We all went to Rubios for dinner after I had a late meeting. I love starting the day knowing I don't have to cook dinner!

Miles Half Birthday

At Miles' preschool, the kids with summer birthdays get to celebrate their half birthdays so they don't miss out on having a party with their class.

I made "You're One in a Minion" cookies for the party out of Milanos. They turned out pretty cute, though they were a tough sell over doughnut holes, which were Miles first choice.


Happy Half Birthday Manzer!

Matt's Birthday Week


We celebrated Matt's birthday officially on Sunday since we moved it for the Super Bowl. I feel bad for not taking more pictures - most of these are from Jen. I think I am resisting this birthday for both of us - turning 36 this year means we are on the downhill slide to 40. I really didn't mind turning 30 at all, but 40 seems different for some reason.

Nothing Bundt Cake for birthdays are a tradition for Matt's birthday. I love Miles face in this picture - he loves his dad!

Throwback Thursday - Power Squad Memories

Good times with my Power Squad friends! We dug out old pictures to celebrate Becky Baird's birthday last week so I couldn't help but share some of these old pics.
