Our Valentines Day in a Nutshell

The day started off with he younger two going to Aunt Tamra's so Mama could go on a field trip with Kenley. Thank you Tamra for keeping my kiddos most of Valentines Day.

Then off to the field trip to see the Chineese acrobats preform. (Kenley's friend Payton)

It was so much fun spending one on one time with Kenley, when you have four kiddos that doesn't happen very often.

Look at what these guys can do. They were amazing. If you ever get the chance to see one of their shows, I highly reccomend it.

When the kids got home from school Grandma Johnson and Christine brought some presents for all the kids. They were so excited. What lucky kids to have so many people that love them. (Poor little Embry was sleeping)


We couldn't let a Valentines day go by with out our tradition of a box at the door tied to a rope. Dustin leaves the box, hides around the corner with rope in hand and as soon as the kids open the door the box starts to move. It's a great tradition and the kids look forward to it every year even though they know what's going to happen.


Little Broder doesn't quite understand what it means when the doorbell rings on Valentines night.

The older kids grabbed the box and were pretty excited about what was inside. Every year they each get an outfit and a toy. This year they thought mom did pretty good. Brock got a Pokemon Diamond for the DS, Kenley got a lap desk so she can draw in bed, Brody got a transformer (optimus prime?) and Embry got her very first purse (the fisher price kind that sings and tells her when it's open and closed.

This is where little miss was the whole time. Poor little girl! Soon enough she will be running to the door with the others.

Last but not least, Dustin and I got a sitter and went to a concert. Dustin's office sponsored the concert and they gave tickets out to their clients. We got to see Emerson Drive (that's who the pictures are of) and Heart. It was sooo fun. There were some tickets left over so we were able to invite Clayton and Niki to go with us. It was fun to hear some songs from Heart that I knew back in the 80's (oh, I feel old).

Clayton, Niki, Me, Dustin

It was busy but full of fun and adventure. Thanks Honey for a great Valentines day.
