Catching up

I feel like I've been slacking in the post department lately so here's a quick catch-up!

We had a great Valentine's dinner made by David.  Our tradition includes:  BBQ steak, loaded baked potatoes and salad.  We had homemade ice cream and chocolate covered strawberries for dessert.  David escorted each of us to the table, it was very cute.


For Valentine's Day the girls and I made David a U R LOVED jar for his desk at work.  It is filled with chocolate and notes of why we love him.  Each time he eats a chocolate he gets to read a reason why he is loved.

 We had a great visit with Grandma Barb and Ralph for a week in February.  It was wonderful to see them!  The girls loved playing with them. Grandma always cooks for us and she also made us a delicious lemon meringue pie.  What a treat!


Natalie is definitely a cuddler and is in a stage of saying "I don't like the dark"  So she waits until Cyrena is asleep then stealthily crawls into her bed to sleep with her.  We've caught her like this a few times.

Grandma Taylor bought the girls matching nightgowns for Christmas.  They love wearing them and they look like little pioneer girls.

Anna is still in love with the bathtub.  She can be screaming and then the minute she hears the bathwater she stops.  Too funny.  

Sometimes she has a bath buddy

Cyrena played her first season of soccer with Dad as her coach.  The first couple of games were a little rocky and emotional.  However, her competitive spirit won out and she fought for the ball!  She made 2 goals this season. 


At the end of the year party David got to hand out trophies to the kids and he said a few words about each one--it was cute.  We didn't order a trophy for Cyrena so he handed her the team picture plaque that he got for free since he was the coach.  She was his assistant after all.  :)

I just want to kiss those chubby little bathtime cheeks of Anna's! How sweet of David to make you all dinner, and the tulips and candles are a nice touch! I can just see him escorting you to the table, with you snickering and making him laugh. I can't believe what a heavy sleeper Cyrena is, but I love that Natalie takes advantage of it. It's great to see an update, not that it's been all that long.

The more you post about your girls, the more I think Natalie and Claire are somehow related :0)!!! Clarie is the same way at night and usually if she does sleep with Kate end up sideways across the bed. But I think Cyrena and Kate are exact opposites--tooo funny!! Love the Cyrena soccer pics!
