Valentine's Day

We are not big Valentine's Day people. If we want to do something romantic for each other I want it to be because we want to, not because there is a holiday making us. So we celebrate our Valentine's Day taking the kids bowling. This tradition started three years ago in Lubbock when we went bowling with Josh's PT class. In fact if you ask our kids what Valentine's Day is about they will say "It is about going bowling". This year we also took the kids swimming at an indoor pool in town. It was a fun filled day. Trey slept the entire day.

Jaden won the game.
Tatum came in second, but she thinks she won. In the middle of our game the bowling alley turned on the black lights and strobe lights.

Even though it was snowing outside, the kids loved swimming.

Tatum's First Flower

Tatum received her first Valentine's Day flower this year. Our next door neighbor's little boy knocked on the door the other day and handed her this chocolate rose he had made. It was so sweet.

Tatum's idea of cleaning

Do you ever wonder what your children do when they are alone? Tatum was suppose to be cleaning her room this afternoon and after awhile I realized she was quiet. In our house a quiet Tatum equals something bad, so I went to check her and I found her on the computer. She had found how to record herself using our webcam, a function I did not know the webcam had. So credit to her for figuring out how to use it.
