Happy Heart Day

Happy Valentines Day Everyone! 

Our Valentines started yesterday because TJ had to work this evening. He treated his girls to a night at a restaurant! It was a fun time and to top it off Madison had her first ever school Valentine's Day party! She was so happy that she got to pass out her own cards with suckers and she signed her name on each 16 cards. She also got her two teachers a small box of chocolates. It makes me get all teared up thinking she is growing up!!!!

Today was all about love and making sure we used and did everything in hearts, red, pink and was made with love!!!

• This morning the girls gave daddy their specially made Valentine's cards! Madison even wrote, "Dad I Love U, Maddi"!!!! I was so proud of her and she was proud of her artwork. 

• I started out the day with some Hello Kitty Valentine's shirts and headed to Target in style :-) The girls got to pick out a little gift. Madison chose Hello Kitty sparkly shoes (ON SALE TJ) and Avery chose a Hello Kitty enormous sticker book. If you know Avery, she is OBSESSED with stickers. I tried to get her to chose something else because the stickers end up on the hardwood floors, carpet, wall and basically everywhere they aren't supposed to be. 

• After Target, I went to get our second year tradition of Papa Murphy's Heart Pizza! 

• We got back from running errands and we made homemade sugar heart cookies that they LOVED! I let them have a small bundle of the dough and they used the rolling pins and rolled away with LOTS of flour. They did this for about an hour. They had so much fun. 

• After cleaning up the mess I made them heart shaped sandwiches for lunch. 

• Of course with the fun and busy day they both took naps (of course had to wear their sparkly shoes). 

• For dinner we ate our fabulous heart pizza! 

• After dinner we got invited over to the Kvilhaug's to celebrate Aidan's 6th Birthday (actually birthday is tomorrow)! 

All in all it was a good day with my beautiful girls!

 Thanks to everyone that got the girls cards/candy/gift for Valentines day. They really enjoyed everything! 

Just a weeks of pictures!

Momma and Avery! 

 The girls and I waiting to go in to bring Madison to school. It was a COLD day...BRRRRR! 

 The girls love watching Brave! 

Momma and her savior...GAS STATION COFFEE. I may or may not have an addiction to gas station coffee but it is SOOOOOO good! 

I put the girls to work by helping organize their socks while doing laundry! 

New addition to the Kvilhaug Clan

As if we don't have enough people in our house we decided to add to our clan. I think we got puppy fever after TJ's brother and my brother have recently got puppies. TJ felt he was ready to train another lab after Diesel's passing a couple years ago. He found a breeder up north that had MY requirements (white lab and a female) and put a deposit on a puppy.

We decided on a name after lots of debates...LOLA Jean Kvilhaug. Yes, if you are wondering TJ sings the song...'Copacabana' song by Barry Manilow! Haha

We got to pick her up 1 week ago. Shelbie was such a great person to come and tag along with the girls and I while we picked her up. Of course when we leave it is freezing rain. On our way home it was a blizzard conditions...lets just say the ride home was TERRIBLE!!!!!!! If that was a sign on how it is going to be...I may be moving out ;-) hahahaha!

She is small and adorable and full of spunk. She is a good puppy but HORRIBLE at bed time...so far! She is pretty good during the day...only had a few accidents in a week and getting better at ringing the bell to go outside. When it comes to bed time...OH MAN, she is NOT so much of a fun time. Like clock work...every two hours she needs to go outside (she does not drink or eat anything past 7pm) and then around 4-5am she is READY to play. She is only 8 weeks old so I know it is part of a puppy and will grow out of it but it's not a joy :-)

She is getting more lovey dovey and it is fun to see her personality shine. The girls love her and Lola doesn't seem to be bothered by the girls or their toys. In the first day or two, Lola didn't care too much for Avery. Avery is LOUD at everything she does and loves to run in the house. Lola thought she was crazy and was a bit scared of her. Now she isn't even phased by the two other crazy girls running around. She loves to play with Brooklyn and sometimes my old princess doesn't want to play but handles it very well! Brooklyn enjoys Lola I think only for all the bones she gets and treats Lola gets. Because, if you give one to Lola, you have to give one to Brooklyn. It's all about sharing...especially when it comes to Momma's princess ;-)

Ave's Hair Cut

Ave's hair was a disaster and it was time to have it chopped off! I love it and it definitely fits her personality, spunky and fun! 

Here is her hair before getting cut! 

Here is her hair afterwords!
