A little more . . . . .

My kids on the way to their Valentines Party.  The other pictures are of me, my aunt, and my cousins at my cousin Hiedi's vow renewal at a marriage chapel on the strip.  Complete with Elvis and all.  It was loads of fun.  Me and my friend Raelynn even had a good conversation with Elvis after the ceremony.  He was pretty excited to learn that we actually lived in Vegas and wanted to know what "lovely ladies" like ourselves did for fun.  He didn't seem too excited by our answer which included carpools, naptime, and coloring.  He did tell us to look him up when we were out on the town.

Ava getting all ready for her Valentine's Party at preschool.  I may be a bit prejudice, but I am super impressed with Ava's handwriting.  She wrote all of her invitations!

Kai spilled an entire pitcher of red punch on the kitchen floor.  I seriously wanted to just move out instead of cleaning it up.  BUT, I cleaned it up anyway, because the other option is ridiculous.  Red punch is fun because it dyes everything.  Like one of Kai's feet and the tile.  Luckily, I think Kai understood the gravity of the situation.  As you can tell in the bottom picture, he is simply torn up about it. 

Ava all ready for pajama day which she could not be any more thrilled for.  She said, "Mom!  My teacher said that we can just get out of bed and come straight to school!  I am so excited!"  Kai also gets really excited about weird things, like wearing my boots backwards and making it a goal to walk down the entire length of our hallway.  Ava's new passion is soccer.  In the house.  She can't wait for daddy to come home and as soon as he walks in the door she says, "Wanna play soccer?"  She always plays with her beautiful skirts or princess dresses on.  Don't let it fool you though.  She is quite the little athlete.  More to come on that later . . . .

And sometimes I just CANNOT get enough of how cute my kids are.  Even if it means I have to make my kids pose in the church parking lot when we're already late for church.  Ava being her always cooperative picture-taking self. Kai not so much.
