Hello and Happy Valentine’s Day. It reminds me of when my children were little and we made our valentine cards and or we bought the best ones we could find. It was more fun for me than them I think. As they would put the names on the envelopes and I don’t really think they liked that. When my older ones were younger we would make cakes or cookies to take in for their parties at school. When Dusty was younger I always got the cupcakes not always by choice but the teachers would say we know you are going to bring them in. By the time Dusty was in school you weren’t allowed to take in homemade goodies. I would go to the fancy grocery stores and get special cupcakes so the kids would have something really nice. Well at least I thought it was something nice.
When I was younger I really don’t remember anything about Valentine’s Day. The only memory I have is in the third grade we made these paper plate envelopes where we decorated them and put on the backs of our chairs to go around and deliver them to each of the students. It was creative and fun. As an adult I would make little mailboxes with my Cricut or the Silhouette. Gosh I miss those so much!!! I just don’t have a computer to run them.
The picture above is Cooper. That particular Valentine’s Day Abigail had come over and we made cookies. In fact I believe the pictures are on this
blog. Not exactly those pictures but close enough. More Valentines fun.
I always look for heart shapes in nature. Love 💕
These are from 2020 Jr. took them. Kim always makes the best displays for each season or holidays. They are incredibly creative. She’s so talented.
The scary thing is I still have the boots and the headband but the GD shirt has big holes in it, note I didn’t say it was in the trash. We had fun that day with Jr. taking all the pictures. Kim has a photography business on the side Ginger Snaps. Which is perfect as they are all ginger headed. Well when I was younger we said red headed. Idk I always thought it was more orange than red growing up. What do I know? Then when my mom would say she’s brunette I am like what’s that? I was talking to my aunt tonight and she brought up a story of the desert and I was like it’s just like a mirage. I remember the first time I heard that word I was with my grandma Joann I told her I see water on the road no she says it’s a mirage. Well what’s a mirage I said. Smiling 😊
This is another heart in nature. It was at the Coleman Trail at the Millpond.
Abigail our oldest granddaughter. She is 3 months older than Cooper.
Samantha our next oldest granddaughter.
Dakota she comes after Skylar this is one of the masterpieces of Kim. I love it. When she sent it to me it was so much like the pictures I would do when the boys were little. I even made wings one year for them. Using a white boa around them.
This was a plate created by me many many years ago. In fact Cody wasn’t even born. I think it got broke moving here. At least there is a picture of it. Every year I would make these strawberries dipped in chocolate. Fun.
Yummy I wish I had one now.
Skylar always ready for making something. I had bought this kit for everyone to decorate.
Colten, Colby and Cooper
Skybear loves candy… just like her momma. Crystal would hide behind chairs or doors to eat everyone’s candy. Then the other children would be upset as Crystal would eat theirs too.
These are the wings I had made for the boys when they were little. I kept them folded in the costume closet. Yes at our other house we had a closet that was walk in and we had many years of costumes for over the years. We took all of them to the thrift store when we moved.
I always loved taking pictures. Her mom was in Germany at the time so she loved getting them.
I love you Skybear
When I typed in Valentine’s Day this came up. I miss that kitchen.
The boys all took times washing dishes. Colby claims he had the longest……haha I think Cody did. Alexis beat them all.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures. Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day. Much love and hugs.
All the best vibes,
