~Valentines and Cupcakes a la Princess Becca~







The princess and I had a blast making these "fancy" Valentines! They took a few days of fun... I told her that since we had worked so hard on the Valentines that we should just buy the cupcakes... NO WAY! She was not going for it! We whipped out Aunt Jana's wonderful cake recipe and made 24 "fancy" cupcakes, just as my Princess ordered! She did most of the decorating! She told me that her teacher loved them! Yay! She had a fabulous Valentine's party with all of the goodies she could handle... Priceless :)

Lunch with the boys!


Grayson had early release today! Eli went with me to pick him up and then he took us to lunch at Barros Pizza. It was so good, the food and the company :) It is such a wonderful feeling to be with two of your favorite people, and they turn out to be your children! ha~ My veggie pizza never tasted so good :)
p.s. Eli has gained 28 pounds since the transplant!!! Doesn't he look good?!

Suns Vs. Clippers here he comes!!!


Congratulations Grayson!!! I just got home from picking up Grayson from school and while I was there one of his favorite teachers "Ms. Lorona" asked me if he had told me the "news". My mom instinct was wondering "oh no, what happened?", I was comforted by her sweet smile :) She called Grayson over... and...
He was nominated by her to go to the Suns game on the 26th of this month! She had to choose two out of all of her students! Yay! Yipee Ya Hoo! Grayson was grinning from ear to ear as I was about to cry... (shocker) I thanked her profusely as she went on to tell me what an excellent student he is!(I proceeded to hug him and kiss him on the cheek, yep, in front of EVERYONE! so sorry Grayson, I was overwhelmed and forgot that we don't show affection at this age :) ) It is such an amazing feeling when your child is recognized for his grades, attitude and most of all character! I am so proud of him! He is going to have the time of his life! (sorry about all of these exclamation points! I know how melodramatic I am... haha)
