What's NEW with you?!

We've got some "new" things around here that we're pretty excited about!

First off, Roman got a bunk bed!! He was super excited when we set it all up in his room....

 but when we came home from our date that night, this is what we found:

 apparently, he wasn't committed to sleeping on the top bunk just yet. We're leaving Sterling in his crib for a little while longer since he does really well in there still & I'm not ready for the constant nighttime interruptions of training a toddler to sleep in a bed!

Onto Anthon... He finally got a bike.  I tolerate it, but he loves it & that's all that matters!

Sterling got a little play ground for the backyard. One of Anthon's customers gave it to him, so it's worn & faded from the sun, but Ster doesn't care!

As for me, I got a new hair do. I said goodbye to the all blond locks & went with the hombré! I'm really happy with how it turned out!!

Valentine's Day

Today has been very sweet & I certainly have felt the love of my family!

 It was Roman's first Valentine's exchange & he chose Avenger's valentine cards with ring pops to give to his classmates. It was so cute to watch him choose which cards would be for who & write his name on all of them!

 I wrote love notes for Anthon too! I left them all over the house & in his work truck so he could find them throughout the day :)

these pictures are from my cell phone, so sorry they aren't the best quality!

 We decided to take the boys with us on a valentine date. We went to PF Chang's & the only time we could get a reservation was for 3pm, so it was more of a family lunch date than anything else, but the food was amazing & we had a good time!

While we were at lunch, Roman gave us the valentine he made for us at school- melted my heart!! Is that not the cutest thing you've ever seen!! I love everything about it- the sign language hand, his scribbley handwriting, & the fact that he signed it "Roman P." too!!

I couldn't have asked for a better Valentine's day!!

Fun with cousins

We got to go to the zoo today with my brother, Peter & his family. He has 3 girls, Ellie, Avery & Livvi, that are the same ages as my boys... & my boys LOVE them! So, it's always a good time when they get together!

Here's 3 of the little monkey's with a monkey

 We tried to get a picture of all of them together... this was the best we could get!

Carousel time!!
