Coop's Birthday, Gymbacks, and Valentine's Day

I am so behind on blogging and when that happens I tend to keep putting it off. So, I'm finally getting around to it but it is a long one. Sorry! At the end of January, we celebrated my nephew's  5th birthday at Chuck-E-Cheese.  It was Star Wars themed and everyone had a great time.  I can't believe he's getting so big :(!


Elle enjoyed a lot of the games but most were still too big for her.  She didn't seem to mind that much though.


"Hello, how are you?"


Momma had to help just a little bit.


A little air guitar, of course.



Cooper getting his birthday crown.


Elle had so much fun that she fell asleep in the car and I was able to lay her down without waking her up.  That NEVER happens!  Papa and Lena watched Elle for us that night so that Corey and I could go on a date :).


In early February, we met my friend Jill and her daughter Emma for a night out.  We ate dinner at Slim's and then treated ourselves to a cupcake at Bliss. Yummo!


Then we headed to the Razorback gymnastics meet. By the way, we were wearing pink for breast cancer.  You are not seeing things.... It is PINK!



Popcorn is always a necessity especially for my little one.  She loves that stuff!


Dada came with us too.


I got to sit with both of the pretty girls for a little bit.


Elle with Pork Chop.  She really did like her but you can't tell from this picture!


Here she is watching Pork Chop... she didn't want her to go away.


My little dancing queen before class.


We celebrated Valentine's day by first having some heart waffles.


Elle had a Valentine's party at her school.  They gave each other Valentine's and it was so cute!


Elle was so proud of her first Valentine's box


Then she opened goodies and cards






There goes the clothes... story of her life.


She sure is loved :)  Thank you for all the goodies!


Then she feel off a chair while coloring and busted her lip :(  It was so sad!!!


That night we made Chocolate covered strawberries and they were a hit with everyone.


Especially Elle :)


We trade out babysitting with another couple, Mike and Michelle. They watched Elle for us so that Corey and I could celebrate Valentine's day and then we did the same for them.  This is Elle and their daughter, Cate.  They are so cute!


"Rock and Roll" toddler style.  



Playing with glow-sticks in the tub.  This is one of Elle's favorite activites.  I dim the bathroom lights and then the water glows!


Watching Brave before bedtime. 


Random picture catch up.  I'm never surprised anymore... I never know what she's going to put on.


Playing with her Razorback cheerleader Barbie.


That's all for now.  Thanks for checking in with us!
