Mom & Dad's 40th Wedding Anniversary!

Mom and Dad took a trip to California Wine Country for their 40th Anniversary. When they got back we wanted to celebrate with them. Especially since I have been around for 37 of those 40 years. And 40 years is a big deal!! We had planned to go out kid free, but Mom and Dad were still tired from traveling, so we stayed in and celebrated. Aunt Katie and Uncle Trey took the kids for us so that we could have a nice adult celebration! Mycah and I went in together and planned the entire evening. We bought 40 roses and put them in an arrangement.

We went shopping and bought nice wine, appetizers and stuff for dinner.

We had different kinds of cheeses, crackers and pepperoni. I even did baked brie.

We set the table in the formal dining room and even ate on China.

Happy Hour!

The guys grilled steak, salmon and asparagus. They put the salmon on a cedar plank. It was delicious. Mikey is the steak master and he didn't disappoint. We also had salad, garlic mushrooms and mashed potatoes. It was a fancy meal but we kept it casual and dressed comfy.

We had a tuxedo cake for dessert and it was delicious.

Trey brought the kids home around 830 so they could spend some time with Marmee and Guy. It was a perfect celebration for the perfect Mom and Dad. We love you guys so much!!

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day this year was SO MUCH BETTER than last year!! Bentley's class party was the day before Valentine's Day since he goes on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I started my actual Valentine's Day with this very interesting workout. It was a tribute to pregnant women. We did the entire workout with a 10 pound medicine ball and it was hard. I worked out my entire pregnancy with Bentley and it was pretty similar except you had to actually carry the ball in your arms.

Daddie went to Kiley's Valentine's Party. She had a place to sit with her friends, she ate a cookie and she got Valentine's from all of her friends!! Much better experience than last year!

Bentley and I went to Presley's party.

Presley got a hold of my phone and took some selfies with her friends.

Presley made this sweet heart...

Then when all of the kids got home they ALL 3 went through and opened all of their Valentines. Look how happy Kiley is.

Then the kids opened their gifts from us.

Just the way Valentine's Day should be!

Baird Family Spa Day

This Winter was very cold and we had a lot of days where it was too cold to play outside. With 3 young children, being cooped up in the house for too long is not fun. We have arguing and fighting and big messes. So one Sunday that we were stuck in the house, we decided to have a Baird Family Spa Day. We let the kids take a bath in our bathtub.

We added bubbles and even lit the candles.

I had their robes and PJs waiting for them when they were done.

Mommy and Daddie splurged and did a facial mask.

We did everyone's nails. Even Bentley's. Now that he is 5 years old it is time to stop sucking his fingers so we painted two of them yellow.

Finally, we poured a glass of our favorite Cab (it is called Iter and it is amazing), and sat down and relaxed on the couch.

A relaxing day stuck inside was way better than a chaotic one!!

Monster Jam

After almost a week of waiting the big day finally arrived. Mikey and Bentley went with two soccer friends and their Dads.

The Dad's wanted shirts too!

They went to dinner first.

And then took a shuttle from the restaurant to the venue.

They finally arrived!

I'm sure Bentley knows the names of the trucks and all of their cool tricks, but Mommy is blogging so I am going to let the pictures speak for themselves.

It was a late night but definitely a memorable one. I love that we gave Bentley an experience for his birthday!
