Valentine Goodies!!!!

Are you ready? Today is February 1st, and marks the countdown, only 13 more days left to show those you love just how much you love them. Not that we should only show them on this day, but it's a good day to make a big deal of it, and make it special don'tcha think? Here's one of my fave Valentine's Day decorations - it sits above my fireplace!

You might recognize this basket from Christmas with the pinecones (it had christmas balls in it), I like to change it up a little for Valentine's so I just added a few heart shaped candle holders:)

Here's a cute little girl, in one of her cute little Valentine's Day outfits - Curtis is taking her to a Daddy/Daughter Dance in a few days, more to come on that - she's THRILLED!

Another one of my fave Valentines Day decorations, my X's and O's serving dishes - I think I won this playing Bunko (love that game) - they are from Pottery Barn I think!

Valentine Box #1 - more to come on this later:)

Some sweet Valentine's for some sweeties!

Some cute Valentines for some cuties!

Some yummy Valentines for...some people I love!

We've also been working hard on these - they are actually crayons melted down into the shape of hearts - they make me giddy!!! I think they are turning out sooooo cute!

Seriously, I could make these for days and give them to everyone I know!!! Aren't they adorable?! They just brighten my world - heh heh!!!

Let me know your GRAND plans for Valentines Day! Here's what's to come:

*Date night with Hubby - SOOOO many good romantic movies out right now!
*Daddy/Daughter Dance
*School Valentine Parties
*Valentine's with the Fam - my big sis and family are coming in town - I can't wait!
*Valentine gifts revealed!
*Valentines Secret Pal

Done!

So here's the finished product of a painting I did for my wonderful friend and photographer Linsey! I hope she LOVES it! I took these pics tonight, might need to do another one during the day! This one's with the flash!

And this one is without the flash, will try again in more natural light tomorrow!

Kaden's Harlem Globetrotters Basketball Performance

This is the day we've been waiting for in Kaden's PIPS. PIPS stands for Players in Progress, and is a basketball drill program that teaches the fundamentals of basketball along with character skills/self esteem! Kaden has had a BLAST doing this along with Curtis as one of the coaches!!! Saturday, he got to perform before the Harlem Globetrotters game at American Airlines Center. I'm so glad he got to do this, this is something we've always wanted to go to but had just never done! It was SUPER fun - and a great family outing!!!!
Here he is performing!

Grandaddy, Uncle John, and Kai came too!!!

Kinsley, little Miss Independent, sat in front of all of us by herself!

Kaden and Coach Curtis after the performance!

Aunt Jae, me, and Grammy!

Globie, the Globetrotters mascot, and game MC - sooo funny - dressed up like Taylor Swift here!

One of the players graciously stopped to sign an autograph after the game!

Here's a little snippet of the performance! This was taken on my camera, so its not too clear, Kaden is to the left in the back of that line:)

Kaden's Rodeo Day

So Friday was Kaden's turn and he had Rodeo Day at school. Don't you dare call it Western Day...you'll be corrected, I tell ya! Here's my cute little cowboy all ready for the big day! Recognize the hat - hee hee?!

Here he is waiting to ride:)

Yeehaw, yeehaw there little cowboy - ya know, they wear their bandanas like this to keep the dust off when they're ridin' - and to hide their identity if they are the bad guys!

Ride cowboy, RIDE!!!

Get along little doggies, that's some good ridin'!

Western Day 2010

Today was Western Day at school.  We always have a blast on this day with all the western games, but most of all with the REAL live mini horse!  Each year we bring in a real mini horse and the kids get to sit on it and pet it.  This year the horse's name was Ginger and she was a complete sweetheart!  Here's Kinsley LOVING it!!!!

Mommy and Kinsley

We had fun...and that's no bull:)!!!

One of the many game stations - this one was actually western tattoos for the kiddos:)

Kinsley at the horseshoe game!  YEEEEHAW!!!
