L-O-V-E...spells Love!

It was a perfectly, lovely Valentines weekend in our home. Hope you all had the same. Here is a cute picture of my lil' heartbreakers before church. New sweaters calls for a picture, right??


We tried something new this year. My sweetest friend ever had the best idea. Every year her and her husband and kids just stay home together and order take out from Olive Garden. I loved this idea, you don't have to fight the crowds, no worries about getting a babysitter, and best of all I had a gift card so it was FREE!


Poor Ash was husbandless for the weekend, so we invited her and the kids to join us. I have a very thoughtful husband and he never minds about things like that. So it was me and Theo and our little Ash!


Yummy Olive Garden. You just can't go wrong.


Here are my 3 boys Valentines...


And mine...I am a spoiled little girl. More flowers.


I got the boys new books for their little gifts. They absolutely didn't need any more toys and we still have candy left over for Christmas. So books sounded like a good idea.


Cars is a little book worm lately, so he was pretty excited.


And bujaou loved the touch and feel books we got him.


Me and my main Valentine...I am so pleased with Thiago's green shirt he chose. It really brings out those Valentine colors. He told me to drop dead when I asked him to wear something else.



Hope you all had a great day of love...keep it going throughout the rest of the month!

Prepped for Valentines...

Loving all that red and pink I see everywhere. After Christmas, I would have to say Valentines is probably my favorite holiday. Man alive...I love those colors. How can you not see the pink and red, hearts, candy, flowers and not just feel HAPPY!! I love it. I love walking into my kitchen these days, it is looking oh so festive and awfully ready for that special day of love. We have been having some fun around here, getting ready for it. First off, some little bird dropped us by this little gift. Our doorbell rang, we opened it and found this little gift. Carson says and I quote "Oh my, this is wonderful...who would do this for us". I don't know Carsy-boy, but I think Grandma Tereasa should be our number one suspect...after all she sure does love us.


Next up...getting those valentines picked out and ready for friends. Oh how I used to LOVE this. We made Carson practice writing his own name on each one, by the end he was not having fun anymore. Why do I get the feeling that getting this kid to do homework in the future is going to be challenging.


He did enjoy seeing them all together and putting them in his bag for the next day.


Off to school for a little party...


Checking out his stash once he got home (with a mouthful of oranges.)


Cousin Valentine fun at Ashley's.




Making our own Valentines for grandmas and dads.


Wait, somebody forgot to participate.


Sugar cookies...YUMMM!!




He sure as heck was willing to participate in that. Haha!!

Happy Valentines everyone!!


Hey, question for you all. I have got a bright red spot in the white area of one of my eyes. I recently had a cold, and this little thing showed up. What is it. Its not pink eye, cause it is just one little dot and doesn't hurt. Anyone ever had this. I think it is just a blood vessel or somthing that has burst, but I am wondering if anyone else has any ideas. How long will it be there, and do I need to see the eye doctor....let me know if you have any ideas. It bugs!!

Carson's prayers...

I love this kid and I absolutely love this age. I swear all I do is laugh at him all day long. I love to see the way their little minds work and the things he comes up with. He absolutely loves saying his prayers. Every meal and every family prayer he just begs and pleads for us to let it be his turn. I think it is important that he hear me and Thiago pray as well so we usually end up having two prayers. One from him, and the other from whoever's turn it is. He isn't quite to the point where he can say it himself, he still likes our help. However, we laugh cause he will copy what we say but throw in a little twist.

Example:

This is how we say it

Dear Heavenly Father
Thank-you for this day
Thank-you for my mom and dad and little brother.
Thank-you for my home.
Thank-you for my primary teacher and my preschool.
Please bless me to be strong and healthy.
Please bless my family, that we can all be happy.
Please bless that I get a good nights rest.
In the name of Jesus Christ....Amen.


This is how Carson says it

Dear Heavenly Father
Thank-you for this day, and all my toys that I could play.
Thank-you for my mommy and my daddy and my baby brother Lincoln Bejoano.
Thank-you for our new home and we love it.
Thank-you for my primary teacher and my school and Miss Sarah.
Please bless me to be strong and healthy.
Please bless my family....and Lancey, and Brevy, and Jenny, and Vovo, and Grandma...and the list goes on and on.
Please bless that I get a good nights rest, with no bad dreams.
In the name of Jesus Christ...Amen.

So stinkin cute...I know someday I will look back on that simple little prayer and want my little 4 year old back. Love you Carson, thanks for your sweet spirit and your child like faith.

Chuck-E-Cheese

Since we have had so many birthdays going on lately, my dad decided to take all the kids out to Chuck-E-Cheese the other night to celebrate. Definitely not my number one choice of a good time, but what do you do. 6 little kids think it is about the greatest place on earth. Whats not to love....the nasty pizza, germy toys and games, all the white trash people that are there. Makes for a lovely environment. However if you can't tell from their faces....these kids had a dang good time, and I thought it was pretty dang sweet of my dad to think of such a fun idea.


Carson hopped around from one game to the next with his dad, trying to collect as many tickets as they could. Theo does pretty well at these stupid games and they ended up with a pretty big stack of tickets.


Picking out their prizes.


Carson was way to busy to stop and eat pizza. However he did stuff his face with all the icing on this little cake. Yum, and I am an awesome mom for letting him go to town.


Oh, Lincoln. This kid cruised around the joint like it was nobody's business. Pretty much loved everything about this place. Check out that grin.




I wish I had gotten a picture of Lincoln walking back and forth on this ski ball thing. He would carry the little ball all the way to the top and just toss it in there. Not exactly the way you are supposed to play, and trust me I was getting some weird looks. Bug off people, like you have never broken the rules of ski ball before.



Just had to throw these pictures in. Lincoln spilled juice all down his T-shirt and pajama top the other day. I wasn't quite ready to bath him so I just took off his tops and left him in his pants and diaper . He thought he was pretty cool. He kept wandering the house, rubbing his little belly and laughing. Carson and I were just cracking up. What a sight...my skinny little nothin, with his diaper hanging out. Haha...good times.

Share the Love...

Hope you're all feelin' the LOVE this month.


Happy February all!!!!

Finally...some b-day fun!

As I said in my last post we went out Satuday night for our birthday. So at least I got one night of fun. I wanted PF Changs for dinner, but Jen didn't want to drive that far and her choice was Maddox. That is the problem with being twins, you got to share the day. Just kidding Jen, I didn't mind. After dinner we went to my moms where we ate this delicious cake that Maria made. Yum, after eating her cakes you will never go back to store bought. Hers are the BEST!!


I am always so glad that all of our family comes. It makes the night just that much better, having everyone I love together.


Mom and Dean


The Smith's...Jen I am sure you will have something to say about this picture. However there is no pleasing you these days, and I had to include you.


Some weird Asian kid and Ashley...haha.


Regi, Maria and little Regi


Gus and Shalae


Me and Rose...

Thanks everyone for coming...love you all!
