3rd Birthday Celebrations!

Ford and Jake had a week long celebration of turning the big "3"!  We had our playgroup friends over during the week for a special birthday celebration.  We had a Toy Story/Cars theme and made license plates, had lunch, cupcakes, and played.  The cutest part of the whole day was when all the kids were around the table and sang "Happy Birthday" then helped blow out the candles.  We had a great time and are glad everyone could celebrate with us!


On February 18, Mommy took Ford and Jake to the Interurban Railroad Museum for story time.  We also got to explore the museum and go inside the train car.  Jake was very sad to leave the train.  He then got over it when he saw the DART rail zoom by.  I told him we will go ride that soon with Daddy (it was already on my list of a fun family activity).  We then went to Chick-fil-a for lunch.  Ford sang "Happy Birthday" to Jake and then to himself throughout the day.

For dinner we had a special dinner of homemade pizza (at their request) and cupcakes.  Then, they got to open presents.  It was so fun to watch them get so excited about Buzz, Woody, Mack and Lightening McQueen.  When Ford opened Buzz, he yelled out "To infinitity and beyond".  Jake opened Woody, we pulled his string to show him how he talks.  The first phrase was "Hi, I'm Woody", Jake politely replied back "Hi Woody, I'm Jake Joe". 


February 19 was our 3rd celebration.  I guess you get as many celebrations as your age?  We went to Chuck E. Cheese's with all of our family.  Grandma, Grandpa, Gigi, Granddaddy, Aunt Jill, Uncle Billy, Grace, Aunt Kimberly, Uncle Glenn, Blake and Benjamin were all there.  Ford and Jake were so excited to have all their favorite people with them. We played almost every game in the place, ate pizza and birthday cake.  We had a great time running around and even Grace got to do a few rides!  We are so grateful to live close to all of our family.

Parties, Ice & Love!

Superbowl XLV was hosted in Dallas at Cowboy Stadium this year.  We cheered for the Steelers, but they lost.  It was still a great game to watch!

We also got ready for Valentine's Day with a special playgroup party!

We got more ice!  This time no snow, just a thick layer of ice that only lasted a day.  We watched the movie "Ice Age 2" to keep in the spirit of the cold!


We celebrated 2 special birthdays on Saturday, February 12th.  Our friends Madison & Sydney turning 3 and our Great-Grandma Millie turning 90!  We had fun at both parties (ate cake twice) and are getting excited for our upcoming birthday on the 18th.

My two Funny Valentine's!
