HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

Wow have we had a busy week!!! First off Delaney has glasses!! Her teacher wrote in her planner that she was having trouble seeing the back of the classroom so I got her an eye appointment the next day (Tuesday) and the optometrist said she has 20/20 vision but she has a little bit of near sightedness. She was thrilled she got to pick out some glasses and they are too cute on her! We got to pick them up yesterday after school! They are Disney princess glasses with purple sparkles on the sides!

Also we decided to get some new furniture!! Sam's has two leather couches that we both fell in love with and we decided the time was right to get them. We keep living in this world of we can just wait until we move but I think we are over that now and wanted to spruce the place up a little! We also got a new mattress and boxsprings and I have to tell you we slept much better last night! It is amazing how much better this mattress is! This is our first bed that we have picked out together in the 12 1/2 years that we have been married! Now you can tell how old our other mattress really was! Anyhow it was a great Valentine's Day with the delivery of a new mattress and some new furniture! Now let's just get the house sold and I will be one very happy camper!

Well the week is coming to an end. On Wednesday night Hope, Maria and I took our daughters to see Hannah Montana in 3-D at the movies. The girls had a blast dancing in their seats trying to grab what was 3-D in front of them. It was a nice girls night out and fun getting to doing something with Delaney without her sisters. I forgot to report about Ryan's birthday too. On his birthday (Feb. 1) we took him to dinner and came home and had cake that he had requested. That afternoon I gave him his gift, a gift package to Massage Envy for 3 massages. And I also booked his first session on Saturday morning so he was really anticipating that. He had a great time by the way! That night Kay came over and watched the girls while we went to dinner and a movie. I couldn't get a reservation at Seasons 52 and the line was too long so we ended up eating someplace else! We saw Cloverfield and I would highly recommend it!!

This is the cake Hope got for Ryan for his birthday!!

This weekend we are hoping to get the yard done, fix our kitchen faucet and try to find a new mattress for our bed. Those who know just how poor shape our mattress is in will understand how badly we need a new one!!!! Ryan is suppose to be working a 1/2 day today and then come home and steam clean the carpets so keep your fingers crossed that this weekend goes by smoothly!!

Not too much has been going on this week. I do have to report that Emmy is trying to say some words. She will say thank you now and has mama and dada down well. She also will wave goodbye when she hears the word bye bye. Just like the other two she likes to climb. She can now climb up on the couch with no help and if a dining room or kitchen chair is not pushed in she sees it as an open invitation to climb up to the table!!! My computer chair is also fair game to her too. We have Delaney's old mattress in the computer room since the girls have bunk beds now and she figured out she can climb on top of the mattress, step onto the window ledge to get on top of the computer desk!! What can I say she is a little monkey! I also trimmed her bangs!! I was bound and determined to have one of my children have bangs and she is it! I was tired of all the littl wispies getting in her eyes so I just got the scissors out and had Ryan hold her while I tried to cut in a straight line!! I guess next time I will wait until she is asleep but it doesn't look bad!! I don't really have too many new pictures to put up right now so I will dig through my pictures and find some of my favorites! The first picture is me and Grayson when she is just 30 minutes old!!
