TRA-DI-TION

(sorry about the title, i have been watching "Fiddler on the Roof". That song is stuck in my head)
Any who. tonight we had our annual Valentine's Family Dinner.
I figured why not start with the pictures of dessert first.
(plus that is just how it loaded. I'm not feeling so hot, so i am just going to go with it)
here is the cake that the kids and i made. can you tell they decorated it. there are sprinkles and candy everywhere. surprisingly they did not want any. so now we have a whole cake sitting on the table. Garran tasted it and said it was really good, but who knows. Kids are so finicky.
good thing i was such a nice mom and let them pick out some cookies too. Some of these are going to our neighbor for Valentines Day. She lives alone and is in her 90's.
For dinner we had heart shaped quesadillas. So here are all the fixings.
and here are the quesadillas!
here is our lovely Valentine's Dinner. The kids love eating by candle light.
They were so funny. They said "Mom, it's like were at a restaurant!"
see....doesn't he look excited!
"CHEESE MOM!"
He is getting old now and thinks he is to cool for school sometimes. He told me, when I asked if he knew what Valentine's Day was about, he said "Yeah, it's about family and LOVE!"
Ayla having some lovely Valentines Day Soy!
now this picture is HORRIBLE. However I feel inclined to post it. I am sick. Garran was only home for two hours to do the dinner and then off to school again. However this is the memory. This is how I looked through the dinner. Sick and all. So here we are, we still had a good time.
Happy Valentines Day!!
Hope everyone had a LOVE-ly day!

I love reading your blog and stealing your great ideas. Thanks for sharing :)

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
