The sweetness these moments bring is way better than any Candy :)
I have never been a huge fan of Valentines. Although I will say I have fun putting together a little something sweet for my boys :) – and most Valentines my husband and I do get to go out. This Valentines however, we were unable to find a sitter. Which is fine. It just means I get to spend an evening out with not 1, but 4 great guys ;-)
Do you celebrate Valentines?
Got any fun traditions?
We don’t…
Yet.
I’m always up for fun suggestions… I do remember my friend Lis mentioning something about Saint Valentine and having their Valentine incorporate the history of that. I just can’t for the life of me remember what she did :) – refresher?!
Our church has a great parking lot to let the kids ride bikes in. Even though we live in a great neighborhood, the hills in it, make it hard to ride bikes with our kids. The hill our house is up in-particular is very steep… and honestly I don’t think id ride down it on a bike.
So going to the church to ride, is a great treat for our boys.
Here are a few memories from this weeks trip out there to ride…
This hill is our boys favorite.
See that speed limit sign?
Our boys clocked their speed with their speedometers they got for Christmas.
& Caleb clocked himself at 19 MPH!! – so we joked that he was “speeding” :)
The sun was so beautiful out.
So thankful for days like that….
So sweet when what use to be the baby, becomes so grown. Sweet and sad in ways, because it really shows how he is growing up.
Taite sure is a great help with Owen.
I use to wonder if they’d be close, being 3 yrs apart… I always figured that age gap was just far enough that they wouldnt click as much as Caleb and Taite have being 2 yrs apart.. but as Owen gets older and Taite… things have changed some.
Its precious to see.
SO glad my boys have each other, its a blessing.
Of course… The older two are still like glue :)
& Owen is often left behind. Which is ok most days, Owen being the 3rd really does seem to entertain himself alone much better. It does however give me a yearning to one day give him a younger brother :) – in time!
Today was filled with more Boba sessions. 2 former models I’ve used agreed to do more, so thankful. They both did so well.
While down town I stayed in a local coffee shop to start processing the images and wait for the next session (rather than back tracking and going home, then coming back) – it was weird… just sitting there alone. Im so not use to that. A friend did drop in for a bit to say hey :) – which was nice.
Then after fixing a late lunch for myself at 2pm when I got home, I then had a phone chat with Sam Hassas (awesome photographer I met at the Genesis workshop) – who is helping me with some business stuff… So kind of him to give of his time, he is so busy.
Then after the kids got up from naps… it was off to downtown again, for more Boba Pictures… but with the family this time… and afterwards we got to enjoy an evening out at a local yogurt place (its amazzzzinggg! affordable and healthy w/ fresh fruit) – & then time at a local park.
A busy, yet a good day.
I got a lot accomplished and got to also spend some sweet time with the family. We also could not have asked for prettier weather.
