"The Love Bug"

Kyson came home from school a couple days before Valentine's day saying, for there Valentine party they needed to bring a decorated Valentine box, and who ever had the best box would get first place, and win a prize. So we sat down together, kyson drew a rough draft of what he wanted, and he came up with the "love Bug". He was so excited, he was hoping to get first place.

When kyson came home from school, he came running into the house just as happy as could be. Sure enough he had won 1st place with his "love Bug". Even though he looks a little moody in the picture, he really was happy. He won a box of Mike and Ike's.

For family night, the boys put together there Valentine's for school.

The kids has a blast decorating sugar cookies.

Kyson, Riley, and Brinlee had each made dad there own special cookie. We took them over to Brain at work. Brian was so excited, who could resist a cookie with an inch of frosting, and an endless amount of sprinkles and candy pieces.

Kyson was so excited, that dad took a bite of his first.

On valentines day, kyson had a basketball game. So after the basketball game we came home, and I made them heart shaped pancakes with chocolate chips. It dose not take much to make them happy.

Riley, well I thought he liked his pancake. I am not quite sure why Brinlee is trying to eat heir's with a pizza cutter.

Riley turns 5 year's old My cute little innocent boy( ya right) turned 5 years old last week. Riley celebrated his birthday on Saturday with his friend's. When I asked Riley, what he wanted to do for his birthday party he said he wanted to snowmobile (surprise, surprise). I had the party planned before i even asked him. I new the answer. I asked Riley what he wanted for his birthday, and he told me a cake, an apple, a snowmobile, and a towel. Yes, a little odd i no. Of course he got the cake, a John Deere cake (thank Grandpa Hill for that one), he has the snowmobile, the apple and towel, well i have no clue where those came from. Like i said the kid No's what he wants.

Riley and his friends got all warmed up with pizza and tikki punch (Riley's 2 favorite things) before heading outside, where Brian pulled them all around behind the sled, and Riley gave rides on the little red snowmobile.

I had to laugh, almost all of Riley's friends gave him tractor's for his birthday.(once again you can thank Grandpa Hill for that) By the end of the day, I think Riley had a tractor of ever size.

Riley attends 2 preschools. Riley was so excited, that he got to celebrate his birthday at both schools, with his kung fu panda cupcakes. When Riley came home from school, he was so excited that he got the bad guy ring off of the cupcake. ( I hope that's a boy thing)
Riley was so funny the day after his birthday. He had just woke up and he said" mom, am I still 5 years old". When I told him yes, he just got this big smile on his face, ran over to Brinlee, and said" Brinlee, guess what I am still 5. Riley can always bring a smile to your face. I just love him so much.
