We had a great time together tonight...Grandma & Grandpa Mayer, Aunt Judy, Uncle Scott & Candice came over tonight for our 1st Family Poker Night. Considering at the start of the evening Brian & Scott were the only 2-out of the 6-of us that even knew how to play Texas Hold'em, I think we all did a pretty good job of holding our own. I think the night was a definite success & I hope it is the start of a FUN new family tradition:-)

We've Got "Beaber Fever"!!!

Double Trouble...Luke & Brady:-)


The "BIG" Boys...Ben & Jake!!!

Brady & Lucas...Sharing A Seat @ The Movie:-)

Justin Beaber...We've Got The Fever!!!

We had a fabulous day today...Nik & I took the boys to The Greene for a delicious lunch @ The Cheesecake Factory. After lunch we headed across the mall to see a movie...the original plan was to the Disney movie, Nomeo & Juliet, but unfortunately it was not on until later in the evening. So...we decided to watch The Justin Beaber Movie!!! Although it could've been 20-30 minutes shorter, it was actually a pretty interesting & good movie. All 4-of the boys were mesmerized throughout the entire movie until the very end...it was a success! All 6-of us had a fantastic day together @ The Greene & I look forward to doing this again hopefully really soon:-)

Park Play!!!

The "Aiken" Cousins:-)

1-2-3-4...Here We Go!!!

Live In Concert...Jake, Luke, Ben & Brady:-)

WOW!!! What a fabulous day...very rarely do we get to enjoy a beautiful day of sunshine & 50 degrees in Mid February while living in Ohio:-) So, Nik & I decided to take full advantage of this wonderful treat! We unleashed all-4 of our "little-animals" for the afternoon @ Oak Grove Park & let them go CRAZY!!! I feel so bad bc the poor little guys have been couped-up inside even more than usual over the past few months bc unfortunately, this has been one of the coldest & worst winters that we have had in a really long time! It is days like today that make spring feel like it is within reach again & it just makes me smile:-)

My CRAZY 'Lil Benjamin...

Thank You Great Grandma...We Love Our New Lego Robots!!!

After we left our party @ First School, we decided to stop over & visit with Great Grandma for the afternoon. Of course as soon as we got to her house, she immediately gave the boys their Valentines gifts that she had picked-out last week while we went shopping together. She definitely spoils her grandchildren more than she needs too, but I also know that it makes her so happy to give to her "babies"...I am just so happy & thankful that my boys are able to spend so much quality time with their Great Grandma, bc she was such a significant part of my childhood & I would love nothing more than my boys to have that same pleasure. I have always loved, respected & admired my Grandma so much...I am so glad that we are fortunate enough to still have her in our lives every single day:-) We love you so much Grandma!!!

Happy Valentines Day:-)

I love being the "Homeroom Mom" in Benjamin's Preschool class @ First School. Unfortunately, Brady's class already had their helpers before I had a chance to sign-up...so next year it will be his turn:-) Like all of the other holiday parties, we all had a great time together. I always loved the Valentine's Day parties at school bc it was so much FUN to get all of the Valentine cards from my friends...especially the very "special" ones:-) All-In-All I could not have asked for a better Valentines Day...I got to spend it with my 3-special "Valentines"!!!

We had a good time just catching-up & watching all of our little ones play together...somehow it just never seems to get old:-) Thanks to all of our awesome friends for making our lives so much more FUN...We Love All Of You!!!
