Valentine's weekend!

Our weekend started out on Friday night with Austin having his friend to stay the night. They had so much fun playing the Wii and watching movies! Then Saturday morning they woke up and we fixed breakfast, and got the kids packed. We had to meet Bill and Cindy in Spencer to drop the kids off cause they were wanting to spend the night with grandma and grandpa and thier cousin's Hayden and Colin. They were really excited about going, and well Jesse and I were a little excited to have an evening alone:) After dropping them off, Jesse and I headed to Bloomington. We went into Target (love that store), to look for some bedding for Austin. Then we enjoyed lunch at RED LOBSTER, yummy. It was so nice to sit down and be able to talk to my husband. Such a great Valentine treat. After leaving there we were stuffed but had to go to Sams. We spent alot of time in Sam's stocking up on some freezer stuff and other things we needed. Then we headed home to get started on Austin's room. We got him a new bedroom suit cause for some reason he wanted bunk beds? Let me mention he had a queen bed, but insisted that we get bunk beds.
Jesse worked all weekend on painting Austin's room and I think the painting part is finally done. However now tonight we have to the beds put together and get everything back in place. Fun, fun!
The kids returned home around 5 on Sunday and it was so nice to see them. I enjoyed the squeezes and the "love you's". They told us all about the fun time they had playing with thier cousins and mamaw and papa. Hailee even rode the new pony, and she says "i wasn't even scared." To cute!
I will try to post some pics tonight of Austin's new room! Hopefully we will get things done tonight:)

On Valentine's Day and everyday, I continue to think of Chelsa Knepp and her family. We said an extra special prayer for baby Andon as he is in heaven. Chelsa, Ryan, and Brycen my heart goes out to you. Andon is looking down on you in heaven and smiling, and he knows what a great family he has. There are so many things that we will never have answers for and often we find ourselves asking "Why", but it is important that we remember that God is there for us and he will take care of us. Keep your faith strong Chelsa, and always know that your surrounded by so many people that love you ;)

I hope your bunk bed situation turns out better than ours did! Brice decided after sleeping in a full size bed for 4 years, that he wanted bunk beds as well. We went out and bought him bunk beds and it was fun for awhile, but he missed the size of his full bed that we kept int he same room. He started sleeping in it again and the bunk beds were empty! When he came this last time, he found that we had put Parker in the full size bed and he was disappointed. We had to tell him tough luck! He wanted those bunk beds, so now he has to lie in it :) haha. What did you do with your big bed? I bet you will like having the extra room in his bedroom though!
