Joey and I have never been big on celebrating Valentines day… but I DO think it’s a fun little holiday.  It’s so fun to make it a special day for Jaxon too!

I saw a fun tutorial the other day from Jen @ Tatertots & Jello and HAD to make them.  Of course, mine are a little different … I LOVE how they turned out!

Here is an up close of the heart:

I also fell in LOVE with this wreath from Linda @ Craftaholics Anonymous ….

I had some leftover burlap from making this banner a few months ago:

I made it for the season opener… my precious banner did NOT prove to be good luck for the sooners this year …. Oh well, at least it’s cute!

Anyhow, I decided to make a burlap heart wreath::

I wanted a little red on it since my door is BLAH white… I wanted it to stand out a little more!  I may make a trip to hob lob tomorrow and change it up a bit… I have another idea for it… I’ll let you know if I change it!

So… are you decorating for Valentines?

I really love 3 day weekends!

We had a great weekend.  It was a balanced combo of work, rest, and play!

Saturday night we had the Hall’s over for dinner.  Amy is my oldest (since 4th grade) friend.  We had a fun time catching up!

Sunday after church, we came home for lunch and all kind of did our own thing.  Jax and I ended up going out for a while.

Today we were able to take advantage of the beautiful weather and we went out for a family picnic at the park.  It was so fun to take Tucker and to run around with him and Jaxon.

I also worked on a few projects!  I will show you the finished products this week!

The first one is this::

I’ll post the story and pictures sometime tomorrow!  Stay Tuned!

Every year at Halloween time we go to the story book forest with the Whitesell’s (aka Mimi & Pops). This year was no different. We always go to McD’s before for a super healthy dinner. Next stop is lake Arcadia’s Story Book Forest.
I’ll let the pictures tell the rest of the story!
