Grocery Shopping

Our "fun" for the day!!

Checking out the lunch they'll be having later today ~ don't judge, they picked it out themselves...and it kept them quiet (as quiet as Cooper can be anyway!) for the remainder of the shopping

Showing off her lunch!

Being patient!

Girls' Night Out

The BAM girls got together last night for a little fun away from the men and kids. We had a great time eating dinner and catching up (as if we don't see each other at least twice a week!)

Before I left home Reagan asked where I was going. Here's how the conversation went:
Reagan: "where are you going mommy?"
Me: "I'm going to meet some girls. I'll be home later and I'll check on you in your bed"
Reagan: "will you check on me about 2?"
Me: "Probably won't be that late, but I'll definitely come check on you"
Reagan: "Can you go meet some boys too?"
Me: "Not tonight sweetie ~ it's just the girls tonight!"

L-R: Jessica, Barbara, Jill, Cathy, Miki, Cheri, Dot, Amy, & me

Thanks to the fellas for taking care of the kids and letting the women get out and have a little time to ourselves! We love you for it!

Family

Although not family by blood, these two couldn't be any more part of our family. Ms Deb & Kim are always willing to lend a helping hand and love on all of us.

Reagan loves "my Ms Deb"!

Cooper loves to run and play with Kim

Question of the Day

"Mommy, does God love chocolate? I sure do!"

A Heart-y Breakfast

This morning, Reagan asked for pancakes for breakfast. And not just any pancakes, she wanted heart shaped pancakes...5 to be exact. We continued our Valentine's theme with the heart shaped plates too!

Cooper's New Best Friend

Cooper got a puppy for Valentine's day from Ms Vicki and it has become a favorite of his. He has never wanted to sleep with anything ~ not even a blanket ~ but tonight, he wanted the puppy.

Sleeping with the puppy

He wanted the puppy to eat breakfast with him the next morning The puppy got to watch cartoons too Cooper insisted that the puppy help him brush his teeth

BAM Valentine's/NASCAR Party

Not that we needed a reason to, but since it was Valentine's Day AND the Daytona 500, our BAMily decided to have a party!! We watched the race and ate a delicious meal of salad, bread, lasagna, and red velvet cake.
