Be My VALENTINE ♥

Valentine's Day was on a Sunday this year, so Steven and I decided to celebrate it on Saturday. He was working in the Bay Area that morning and didn't get home until the early evening, so I took that large chunk of time to get ready for our romantic night :) Baking was #1 on the agenda that day. I am obsessed with Bakerella and finally attempted making her cake pops and cake balls. The pictures I took of the cake balls/pops I made for Steven didn't turn out, so I'll describe them to you :) I decorated each one with a letter that spelled out BE MINE and made them as cute as can be with little hearts with white chocolate we colored pink. I was excited for him to come home and see my hard work and creativity in the form of delicious chocolate covered cake balls. Yum! All the hard work paid off....he LOVED them :) That night we went to dinner at my favorite restaurant, BJ's. We were stuffed from eating so much cake, so we shared some appetizers and enjoyed spending another Valentine's Day together.

I love Steven so much and I am thankful that I was smart enough to chose him as my husband :) He is everything that I have ever dreamed of and constantly exceeds all expectations, no matter how big or small they might be :) Without him, I'm convinced that my life would be boring, dull, and absolutely meaningless. Seriously. He continues to make me feel like the only girl he has ever loved and laid eyes on. It's such a wonderful feeling loving someone so intensely and recieving that same amount of love in return ♥

At BJ's...YUMMY :) I'm talking about my husband.... not the food ;)

Almost the finished product. I covered them in little pink heart and white polka dots :)
I made extras and gave them to our Young Women :) I love these girls!!! They are all so wonderful. Except for that girl on the far right. She's weird. Just kidding!!! That's my sister, Missy!! I love her more than anything!!

Olivia's 4 Months Old!!!

It's amazing to think that only 4 months ago, today, Olivia made her grand entrance into this world. Before she came here and blessed us with her sweet spirit, 4 months seemed like such a long period of time. It's 1/3 of a year!! That was a loooong time in my book. With every day, every milestone, our little newborn is growing into a sweet, beautiful baby girl with her own special personality. I feel like she has been here with us all along. I can barely remember life before she was part of our family. I honestly believe that our life is significantly more meaningful and our hearts are forever changed because of the unconditional love we already feel for her. We can't wait to see who she becomes and earnestly pray that we will become the parents we know she needs us to be. Happy 4 Month Birthday, Honey Bunny!! Mommy and Daddy LOVE you forever!!!!

Last week, we took the opportunity to catch the first photo of the soon to be love birds... Olivia and Levi. A marriage is already being arranged :)

Olivia is getting chubby!!! Although, she only weighs a petite 12 pounds :) Steve's dad told us yesterday that Olivia's second cousin, Chase, who is three days younger than her, is already, like, 18lbs :) Lol! I hear that he is absolutely adorable and super happy, too!!! We can't wait to see him again!

Olivia's newest adorably quirky habit is crossing her ankles and rubbing her feet together. It's hilarious how dainty she is already.

I love that she is starting to play with her cute little toesies!!
