We had a love-ly Valentine's Day filled with baking cookies, school parties, heart shaped waffles and pizzas, date nights, presents and lots and lots of candy! It's always fun to celebrate the day and enjoy each other!

Happy Valentine's Day!
The Wildcats
We had Tate's last basketball game. He enjoyed playing and is looking forward to t-ball:)
They picked up a new player in the 2nd half--Maren thought she was part of the team and wasn't too happy when she found out she wasn't

Our Disney Cruise
I'm so behind on posting these but I have finally unpacked and organized pictures which made posting these alot easier:)
We spent 7 fabulous days on the Disney Magic boat and had a wonderful time! Trip #2 is already being talked about (in 3 yrs). We went with my parents and sister and brother-in-law and we couldn't have enjoyed it anymore. If you ask Tate what his favorite thing about the cruise was, he will tell you "everything."
Some of the highlights were:
*playing bingo
*taking the kids to their activities--Tate went to the Oceaneer's Club and Maren went to the nursery for a few hours a day
*enjoying dinner at the adult-only restaurant, Palo
*relaxing on the balcony watching the ocean
*getting the drink-of-the-day
*seeing all the Disney character's around the boat
*shopping at the shops
*seeing the shows (although we only saw 2 due to complete exhaustion by the end of the day)
*exploring the ship
*no access to our iphones!!
*being able to sit and read a book
*ordering room service whenever we wanted
*exploring the port of calls--Our favorite was Castaway Cay
*getting a new animal via towel oragami in our rooms each night along with our Personal Navigator telling us what was going on the next day
*listening to the kids giggle about their bunk beds
*spending time with eachother

Like Father, Like Son
Jason bought a Walgreens semi-truck to keep for himself but once Tate saw it the battle was on. Tate was not going to give in once Jason told him it wasn't for him. We went from laughing because he thought it was a joke to huge tears because he realized Jason wasn't kidding. Finally, Jason gave in. I mean really, hasn't everyone wanted a Walgreens truck at some point?? It kept Tate amused for hours so, I guess it was worth it:)
Poor little guy, we have been battling with his teeth all week. On Tuesday, we went to the dentist to get a crown put on one of his molars. They had found some cavities and one of his molars had chipped exposing one of them so he hasn't been a happy camper. They put the crown on with no problem. He ended up going to school right after it so he did great. The next day, his cheek looked really swollen and he was obviously in pain when I picked him up from school so I called the dentist who said to start some anbiotics and come to office first thing the next morning. She felt sure it wasn't anything but sent us to an oral surgeon to double check. He wasn't so sure...great. He thought that there was some infection somewhere and the tooth would probably have to come out. To me that sounds like a big deal but he said with baby teeth, he would never know it was gone. He said to wait until Monday and come back to see how it did over the weekend. Ever since then, the swelling has gone down and he hasn't complained of any pain what so ever. So, cross your fingers, that tomorrow when we go in, he will get a clean bill of health!

Santa Claus Is Coming to Town
Maren is quite a performer and loves to sing! She will hop up on any platform and start singing like she is on stage. It could be the display at Best Buy or a fireplace. She knows what she is doing. Over the Christmas season, she learned Santa Clause Is Coming to Town, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Jingle Bells. She does an amazing job at getting pretty much all the words right and on key. We are going to need to teach her some different songs because she is still singing them. She likes to throw in Happy Birthday every once in a while. Here is her doing a little performance on Christmas Eve. Although, for some reason she was being silly and didn't sing the words at all like she normally does but it's pretty cute:)
