Greetings!

So, it's safe to assume that blogging is a luxury that doesn't get done very often. ;) Sorry for the long lapse in pictures. I thought I would post a few events so that you can see how the kids are growing, especially Baby Grant. He's already 6 months old! I just can't believe it! Birthdays: We had 2 December birthdays to celebrate: Eric turned 4 and Janae turned 7! Eric got a Hot Wheels loop, and a set of play tools. He also got to go to lunch with Mom to IHOP, his favorite!

Janae was brave and got her ears pierced! One of her favorite gifts was a music box, and she got a cute new outfit with a scarf. Janae picked to have breakfast at Kneaders.

We also blessed baby Grant! He and his cousin were blessed on the same day (they were born 3 days apart), and so we decided to have a dual-baby blessing in my Brother's ward. It was so fun, and we enjoyed having family come to share the special day. Thanks to everyone who came near and far!

Grant is on the right, and his cousin is on the left. :) Dane and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary!!! We had big plans to go on cruise for our 10 year mark, but we had a baby instead. ;) So, the kids and I decorated our family room so that it looked like we were on a tropical island. We did everything like we would have done on a cruise: played games, snorkeled past the fish that we colored, enjoyed yummy food (went out for dinner), and drinks (I made Brazilian Lemonade...my favorite!), danced to music, etc. We had a lot of fun sharing the evening together!

The kids surprised us on Valentine's Day. They had been planning some kind of 'surprise' for weeks. They had even asked me to go shopping at the dollar store for the occasion. ;) They told us to sleep in that morning, and we delightfully complied. When we were finally allowed to go downstairs, they had made us breakfast and served it so nice and pretty. They gave us valentine's cars, cookies, beautiful blue goblets, and served us juice, fruit, and toast for breakfast. Talk about sweet kids!!! We feel so blessed to be their parents!

We left them a few Valentine's Day surprises the night before too. :) And here are a couple of other pictures of the boys playing dress-up. They are a couple of very handsome little dudes!
