We had a Fabulous February!

We had so much fun in February, but because of all the fun I have had no time to blog. So I decided it was time to put my post out there. I am going to just fill in with some of the highlights of the month.

First off, Valentines day was so much fun. Here is some pictures that I took that I thought were cute and festive.

Here is Ambree in her Valentine shirt Grandma Dixie got her. She is so dang Cute! (of course I am not predigest at all. No not me!:)

We had a good time with the family and good eating too. Every year on Valentines day we make homemade pizza and big huge cookies that we decorate.

This year our cookies did not turn out very cute but they were very tasty.

I love my family and I am so grateful for there cute smiles in my life.

We also just got back from San Diego. One of our favorite vacation spots. This year we went just with the Girls (and the kids). All the guys had to work, so we decided to go with out them, anyway.

We had so so much fun. We swam in the ocean (Those that were crazy enough to swim. It was freezing)

And we played games and just enjoyed each others company. It was a blast. The weather was cold and drizzly but we did not care it still was lots of fun. Here are some of my favorite pics of our trip.

Ryanne was really good at riding on the body board. I was really impressed and she had a blast!

Our trip went by way to fast, but it was so nice just to get away with the girls and the kids (even though we missed the guys). I look forward to when we can go back. We had such a Blast!

He loves being a BIG BROTHER!

Austin is such a sweet boy. Today I was watching him with his new baby sister Ambree and it brought tears to my eyes. He loves her so much and he can't help himself to show her.

He will be walking by and if he sees her upset he will bend down and try to make her smile.He is always concerned with how she is doing and he will tell anyone that will listen, that he is her big brother and he loves her so very much.

He was this way with our baby Sharyn before she passed away. He would always hug my belly and say (As he held up his hands as wide as they would go) "I love my baby Sharyn this much!" and "I can't wait to finely be a BIG BROTHER!" with the biggest grin on his face. He would always talk to her in my belly and dream of the day we could bring her home. When we lost Sharyn I think it hurt him the most out of all of our children. He would cry and ask "why did she have to die." Of course that would just break my heart. He did truly love her and would miss her very much. Now, every once in awhile he will cry for no reason and say "I miss my baby Sharyn" Of course that crushes me. All I can do is hug him and say "I miss her too" I would often wonder if he would be alright again, after loosing Sharyn, someone he loved so much and I still worry about him. But I see healing in his heart and joy return to his little face when he sees his new baby sister.

It is so much fun to see him glowing again, and to see the pure joy on his face when he is talking and playing with Ambree. He still misses his baby Sharyn very much. He talks about her all of the time, but now happiness has returned into his little heart. I love him so much and I am so grateful Heavenly Father has blessed us with another baby sister. All though Ambree will never replace Sharyn, she has brought such a light in our home. We still feel an hole in our family but know that one day it will be filled and we will be a complete family once again. I look forward to that time.

I now realize how important the little things are and I try not to let them slip by with out noticing them. We don't know what is around the next corner, so we need to cherish each little moment as they come! I do look forward to the time my family will be reunited and Austin can once again hug his baby Sharyn and tell her how much he loves her.
