Valentine's Day 2011

Connor and Lilians new slippers for V-day!

This year we had a lot of fun on Valentine's Day. I had a heart trail for the kids to follow. Lily had so much fun! I spent the morning making a delicious cheesecake and some yummy home made bread. Jaron brought home some movies he snagged for free using a code at the Redbox and we bought a heart shaped pizza from Papa Murphys! It was a fun family night!

Jaron's Accomplishments!

These hang in Jaron's treatment room!

This is the waiting area in the office

I am so proud of my husband! He has accomplished so much! I am a proud wife of a Doctor! Jaron achieves all that he puts his mind to. He was able to fulfill his church callings, be a wonderful husband and father all while being consistently top of his class! We missed Jaron's commencement ceremony, however a few weeks following we received a package in the mail containing honor cords that only a few other students received for excelling. It was a proud moment for sure! I know that Jaron is going to be a very wonderful, successful Doctor!

Sunny Days!

Pretty Pretty Princess!

When we were up in Portland at the beginning of February Aunt Rebecca gave Lilian and Connor lots of goodies! Lily was passed on some  games that Cousin Emma has out grown. Lily and Connor have had a lot of fun with them. For family night Lily got to choose the game. Lily picked the Princess game. You basically spin and move to a certain spot where it tells you what jewelry to put on. Once you are wearing every piece including the crown, you win! It is so cute how Connor is always willing to play along with Lily no matter how girly it is.

Lily gets her first hair cut

My friend Melissa came over and trimmed Lily's hair a few weeks ago. Lily did so well. She sat so still! I told her that her hair needed a little trim so it can grow long. Ever since Lily saw "Tangled" she tells everyone that her name is Rapunzal and that she is growing her hair out so she can swing on it. I love what my little Lily comes up with! Last week she had a cold. She woke up and said, "Ahh, this stinkin' nose is buggin me!" It was hilarious!

Merry Christmas 2010!!

Connor loved Santa this year!

At first Lily was really nervous, but she eventually warmed up to him. We just told her in order to get presents, she had to tell Santa what she wanted.

Thank you Aunt Mallory and Uncle Shawn! The kids LOVE their new PJ set!

It is our family tradition for Jaron to make our Christmas wreath every year. He does a Fantastic Job!! I look forward to them every year!

Christmas Morning! Santa woke the kids up!

Connor got a SWAT costume for Christmas, he LOVED it! Cute huh!

Lily loved her Snow Princess Costume.

This year was a wonderful Christmas Season. We enjoyed friendship, music, laughter and family time! The kids loved seeing Santa on multiple occasions. The best was seeing Santa on Christmas Eve running around outside! We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with the Milnes in Sherwood, OR. It was such a fun time! Lily and Connor absolutely love their cousins! We were sad to have Christmas pass so quickly. Lily still talks about Santa coming again.

Snow Day

We are just loving the weather here in Grants Pass, Oregon!! These past few weeks we have had sunny days. I love getting out with the kids. Today I spent a lovely day at the park with my friend Heather! The whole time I kept thinking how crazy it was that we were out at the park on January 28, with no coat on! The kids had a blast. Thinking back on the winter, we only got one chance to go outside to enjoy the snow. The week of Thanksgiving Grants Pass got a little snow to enjoy. Luckily we went out first thing in the morning, because as I recall, it was all melted by mid day. Here are some cute photos of the kids enjoying the snow!
