Celebrating Daddy

Happy Birthday to you, Daddy!

Daddy spent last week in Tokyo, Japan. The timing could not have been worse. We missed having him home on his birthday, and he was in Japan during that horrible earthquake. Such a scary time for all us, especially Daddy!

On a happy note, Daddy made it home safely. We were able to have a small celebration for him on Sunday.

Below is a clip of Will and Shelby singing Happy Birthday to Daddy
the night before his actual birthday.

Happy 35th Birthday Daddy!
You mean the world to us!
We love you!

Great Wolf Time

On Saturday morning we headed to Mason, Ohio for an overnight stay at the Great Wolf Lodge. We had planned this trip several weeks ago, and the kids were ready for some very exciting water fun! We checked into our room on Saturday afternoon. The kids were thrilled to see they had their own wolf den (bunk beds and their own TV). I was able to get a couple of pictures with my iphone. Silly me forgot to take the camera! I was able to find some pictures on Great Wolf's website so you could see you just how much two days of water fun can be!

Testing out their bunk bed!

We're having so much fun! HAHA! This is obviously not us, but a really awesome family ride!

Crooked Creek

Coyote Cannon is the blue and yellow tube, set off to the right. It ends with a large bowl (which you see in the upper right hand corner). Will rode it with both Blake and me. He loved it!

Sweet Love

Will (5) and Shelby (2)

Here are two of the sweetest valentine's. I enjoy every minute of this life with them. They are two very special kids. Will and Shelby, Mommy and Daddy love you very much!

Will and Shelby send their love to those they could not be with on Valentine's Day. Hope everyone had a day full of love, joy, and happiness!
