A Whole Lotta Love

Valentines 2012

Lovin' the half gallon of red food dye we used that day, including breakfast

(appetizing isn't it??)

...and lunch

(Yes, Avery is our "granola girl" who eats Indian flat bread

instead of a regular pb&j sandwich.

Where did we go wrong?)

...and fancy V-Day dinner

(oops-to lazy to grab the camera on that one)

Lovin' our beautiful V-Day hike 5 minutes from our house

(who knew?!)

Lovin' them home-made Valentines

...but maybe not the clean up.

(You try cleaning up a million spilled sparkly confetti hearts. They were on the bottom of our socks, stuck to poor Chase and to our clothes for weeks afterwards)

Lovin' the hotel and the POOL that Jared whisked us away to

after kidnapping us all for a surprise weekend away.

The kids especially loved their "fancy" hide-away bed

and having a room (and tv!) to themselves.

(My sly little cupid packed everything in secret,

remembering everything from the Martinelli to all of our swimsuits.

Very impressive.)

Lovin' our day at Sea World during our weekend getaway

Lovin' that this little guy has proven himself a TRUE Bunker

by maintaining the true spirit of the holiday

and coming down with PINK eye just for the occassion. Atta boy!!

Lovin' finding this Valentine's morning during breakfast

(remember our Valentine's Day 2009 ice cream heart?!)

most of all-

Lovin' this guy and these kidlets

for so many, many, many wonderfully lovely reasons
