What A Happy Valentines Day!

Had a happy Valentines Day morning...all the kids got Valentine T-shirts and socks.
My friend Vicki gave Cass cute cute heart earings ...she loved them.
This shirt fits Cacey's personality so well...she really liked it.
Jeffery got a Tony Hawk T-shirt....no hearts and cutesie stuff for him!
This isnt a great picture of Jeff but he and Jeffery went Rabbit hunting.....they ended coming back home because the weather was to bad. I'm glad they came back home!
Cass looked so cute in her Valentine shirt....heart earings.....heart necklace....and "love" ribbon in her hair.
We were all set to have my dad and cousins over for a romantic dinner...Pasta!
We played this perfect CD during the day....had songs like Volare, Solo Mio, and the most romantic.....the theme from the Godfather!! Ha, I loved it
Michele and Danny came by and gave the kids Valentines....what sweethearts!!!
Tracy got into town....I had got her a little Valentine....socks....funny she got me socks too.
Gramps came over to celebrate....NO not with the batman pinata...this is for Jeffery's Fiesta Thursday at school. What a good Grandpa...Jeffery will be the "man of the hour" in spanish class.
Well we all had a yummy dinner and sat around the table just talking....we played a Valentine card game that asked questions.....like what is your favorie love song?, what is your favorite childhood memory?, who was your favorite teacher?. You get the idea.
Here is Elyse reading one of her questions......the kids were so funny!!!!!! Gramps played too. What a great day!! Tracy and I ended the day by getting manicure and pedicure together and Jeff and Anthony took the kids bowling. What a great day!!! Hope everyone had a happy day as well!!

Valentines Prep....Computer has been down...had to post all at once, sorry

Cacey and Jeffery wrote out Valentine cards Thursday night for their classmates.
I made the famous "Pioneer Woman" chocolate cake for Cassidy to take to school.
Cacey was easy...she wanted to take Jello.
Jeffery decided on Cupcakes...with sprinkles. I love doing this sort of thing for these sweet babies of mine!
And sure enough Friday morning....SNOW DAY....NO SCHOOL....I had all these goodies...and there was no way I was going to keep all that good stuff in my reach! Off we went delivering Valentines to our neighbors and friends.
And another surprise.....Brenda and Abby came over with Valentines for us. We got to sit and visit for a while.....it is fun to sit with all the kids around my table and talk....they are getting so big. Of coarse we just ended up talking about how they all expressed themselves during a temper tantrum.....Cacey's was the funniest because she passed out durning her fits. Anywho...that is what we talked and laughed about. We love you Timmermeyer Family!!!
All these kids have grown up together....we hope they will be life long friends.
We ended the night with a "HEART" shaped pizza from Pappa Murphys mmmmm. Tomorrow we are expecting Tracy and her family to come down and we will celebrate Valentines day together.

Cassidy competing in "Construction Challenge"

Cassidy competed in the city wide Construction challenge with their school. The team tries to solve real -world experiences in the construction industry. This is Friday, day before the challenge in Denver.
Cass, Felicia, and Sam....I don't know they look pretty tired.
Cassidy looks worried...they are trying to get wherever they need to be.....we were just not sure where that was.
After I got her settled I was off to Tracy's....we wen't to her mom's house and cleaned out the kitchen. Her friend Anita was also there to help out. I am just amazed at what wonderful friends my cousin has. "Blessed" for sure!
Just couldnt be happier to be near her!
Then back to Construction Challenge.....our team did not place.....I don't know but these girls did not seem to upset about it. What do you think?
Went to Chilis for dinner with everyone. It was so fun!!! Cassidy's teacher is the one furthest to the left....can you believe it? She looks so young!! She is great for Cassidy....she has done so well this year and Miss. Bryant can also put Cassidy in her place when she needs it. Miss Bryant agreed to give me her cell number if I promised NOT to give it to Cassidy..heee heee.
Here we are at Chilis...we had such a great time!!!
Cacey stayed home and hung out with the Timmermeyers....Thank you Brenda for helping me out!!! I know that Cacey had a fun day with you guys!!!

Cell making Cacey..











Cacey had to make a "Cell" for school...We had to do pink, green, and orange....she did a great job.

Aunt Frannie...We'll see you in Heaven!

Tracy made this really cool...very beutiful Photo Board of my Aunt Frannie....I loved it. She did a great job....I know she would have been proud of the job Tracy did.
This was one of my favorite pictures on the board....Trace and Aunt Frannie.
Tracy received so many beutiful flowers from friends and co-workers.....it was so good for her!
Here is Elyse with a bunch someone brought by.
Cassidy and Anthony....just passing time before we had to head out to the church. Cassidy sat on his lap and about knocked him over.....I don't think she realizes how big she really is. The kids love Anthony.....he and Jeff are alot alike.
Tracy and her sweet friend Teesha, she sang at Aunt Frannies Rosary, what a beutiful voice!!!
Isnt it funny how the kids take everything light heartedly? Here they are playing a game, I'm so happy we have these kids!!
My Aunt Cleo with Aunt Frannies sister Tracy....who Tracy my cousin was named after.
Elyse and Tracy's car-pool buddie Jenna. She is really sweet. At this point I just quit taking pictures....it was just to emotional. I was so happy and comforted that my Dad, my Uncle Bobby and his family were all together for Tracy!!! We will see Aunt Frannie again in Heaven.
