Valentine's Day

On Valentine's Day we were so excited to have Danny home. They did not have a recruiting weekend so he was home with us!! I made a big breakfast for us and then Danny and Abby went outside for some adventure. They played and jumped and then they went to the garage to work. Danny painted some frames and of course Abby had to help. We were given a doll house a while back from some wonderful friends and Abby has been wanting to paint it.....so she did. It was so cute watching her paint the roof, walls, floors, ...whatever was in her way, with such intensity. We also made, earlier that week, some Valentine's for friends and family. I did happen to snap a few shots of her in action. I hope you all had a wonderful day...even if I am a few weeks late!!!!

Picture a little out of order...but Abby with the cookie icing all over her face!!!

Afternoon In Clinton

A couple of weeks ago our friends from the beach, The Murphys, were in Clinton for a few days. We were so excited to get to spend some time with them. On Friday night we had dinner with the entire family and then Ava stayed the night with us for a SLEEPOVER!! The girls had so much fun. They really wanted to spend the night in the same bed, but that did not happen. The next morning after they woke up we made cinnamon rolls and of course they got to eat all the icing!! I, of course, forgot to pull out my camera for the sleepover, but I did take it the next day to Maries' house for a fun day of playtime. We had such a fun day with all the girls....and Samuel of course! The weather was beautiful and so was the company!Ava with all of her jewels on.

The COOL girls in their sunglasses!

Abby thought the girls needed a little push.

Sweet Mallory!

Emmaline does not look very excited in this picture but I thought it was darling.

The gang of all girls!!!!

Sweet friends...Ava, Avery, and Abigail!!!
