Happy Valentine's Day 2010

We had our Valentine's dinner Friday night so we wouldn't be out on Sunday. We did get to spend Sunday at my parent's house for dinner. They celebrated their 40th anniversary and had just come back from a cruise that very day.
Gary brought these home for me on Friday.
Here's the boys after church

My sweethearts minus a sleeping baby.
I'll have to add a picture of Samuel in his Valentine's outfit. We hope you had a wonderful and Happy Valentine's Day!

Indoor soccer

I know for some we are WAY behind on starting Mason playing soccer but here it is. He started this past Friday and LOVES it! And has the best coach, Coach Allen. This man has found his calling! And these are out of order but fun...
Waiting his turn to move the ball down the field and score his goal!
Waiting for instructions
Waiting to travel with his ball around the circle.
Still waiting and watching...
Coach Allen showing the kids how to control the ball.
I'm next...
I don't remember what they are doing here.

Having the kids start with jumping jacks.
I know lots of waiting pictures but he said he loved it and can't wait to go back!

So which is your favorite?

Snow

For at least 3 weeks it snowed every Friday or at least it seemed that way. Even though this time we haven't built a snowman the boys have really enjoyed the snow on the ground. And it seems like its been there for a month and its still there.
Ok so maybe you are wondering why he has 2 coats on. He likes to take his coat off and lay it wherever it drops. Someone stepped on it and broke the zipper. After thinking I could put it in myself and that not going so well I took it to the cleaners and they did it, thank goodness!
snow angels...
This is all from one snow! I think it snowed all day Saturday.
The boys attempting to shovel the drive.

Children's Museum fun

Thanks Heidi for inviting us to join you guys even though we were late, and I won't say HOW late! We had a great time even though we stayed longer then our friends we went with. Mason was having such a great time that I couldn't leave until he was worn out. He loves the water station so we spent a lot of time getting wet or trying to stay dry. And I had a great time too since it wasn't packed. And women kept talking to me...is it me? Or was it Samuel?


Samuel was such a great trooper! Never once complaining, I love this little man!





I can't reach the pedals yet, but I'm driving!
Where is the siren on this thing?!
This was a really fun one, you get to be a mechanic. Mason is holding the license plate after he checked the water and oil.
My boy can change a tire! Go Mason...hehe
He wants to check the exhaust system too.
Back to the front, oops I didn't mean to catch that!

Is this the camera? Does this thing work?
This is the tv that you can view yourself on during your "news updates".
And here he is your anchor and mine....Mason Alley for the NBC12's 5:00 news.
Ok maybe he didn't think it was that great.

Checking out the dino fossils and the girls.
Woohoo the dino slide!
Putting apples back so we can pick more.
After playing for 3 1/2 hours I thought it was time to go. We had so much fun I'm thinking of joining. I'm really going to miss this little guy when he goes to school this fall!
