NASCAR Weekend in Las Vegas! J has gotten free tickets the last two years, knowing this will likely be our last spring here for at least a couple of years, we thought it would be a fun event to go checkout with the kids. We made it there a little early and got to see some friends and family that were there for the race too. We made it to our seats and were waiting for the race to start when J suggested we go take some cover because the rain was quickly approaching. We headed down to wait it all out, before the big crowds started seeking cover too. The race was a bit delayed due to the rain, but ti was pretty short lived (as are most storms in Las Vegas). Our goal was to make it to lap 200 with the kids. They say they had a good time, but really were more interested in snacks than the race. We headed to our car at lap 200 and we got caught in the second storm, thankfully it was just wind, but it was 45 mph winds that were stopping us in our tracks as we walked across the giant parking lot. All in all it was an experience we'll remember and another bucket list item checked!

He started early :( The creepiest month of the year has been extended in our house the last two years. He loves this stache, I count down the days until it gone!

This dude had a birthday this week! It truly blows my mind that he is 7 years old already! He invited one friend (and his family) over from school for dinner, games and cake of course! 
He changed our world 7 years ago when he entered our family, he made us parents and he tests our parenting skills daily still. He is our snuggler, hugger and little one who openly tells us he loves us all the time. We are so proud of the little man he is and are excited to see what his future holds.

It's a rare treat for us to celebrate Valentine's Day. It's one of those holidays that J and I really both are not all that into, but this year we wanted to make it special for the kids. Especially, with it falling on a Sunday this year, a day we always spend together. So we have a heart themed breakfast dinner, complete with pink floats. The kids had a great time and got a little kick out of everything down to the heart shaped bacon.

We got a date night! Our goal is one per month, I know not super lofty but it should be obtainable! We even got to dress up for this night out. A nice little treat for the FGO of the year, not bad considering he was only a FGO for 6 months. Super proud of this guy for all his hard work.

We are in the middle of potty training our last one! Its exciting, a little sad, frustrating, and making me question why all at the same time! He is spending lots of time in the bathroom so this is a common occurrence in our house right now.
