Happy Valentines Day!
In the opinion of the world, marriage ends all, as it does in a comedy. The truth is precisely the opposite: it begins all. ~Anne Sophie Swetchine
Laughter is the corrective force which prevents us from becoming cranks. ~Henri Bergson
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
(Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 ESV)
A man isn't poor if he can still laugh. ~Raymond Hitchcock
How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said. ~Victor Hugo
A kiss is just a pleasant reminder that two heads are better than one. ~Author Unknown
What a happy and holy fashion it is that those who love one another should rest on the same pillow. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne
Newlyweds become oldyweds, and oldyweds are the reasons that families work. ~Author Unknown
"To laugh often and love much... to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to give one's self... this is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Photo Round Up: Donner Party Edition

| They are such close buddies! |
 |
| Our Little Flirt! |
 |
| This park had a TON of HUGE Rocks for the kids to run and jump on! It was really neat. |
 |
| Fab Cali Pinecones. |
 |
| This plack was on a large rock which was once part of one of the Donner Party Cabins during their time in the Sierra Nevadas. It lists the names of the Party Members, I don't remember how many survived. |
 |
| Notice any similarities? |
 |
| Funny thing is that we drove from St Joseph Missouri and took this nearly exact route! |
 |
| The top platform where the statue is was the level of the snow when the donner party were stranded in that winter, it was at least 10 feet! Crazy!!! |

"N-E-VILLLE?!?!?!" ......Silas, beginning to cry!
"Gresham you can be harry as you are the shortest." ......momma.
"N-E-VILLLEEE?!?!?!?!?!?!?" ......Silas, tears are starting to jump onto his eye lashes!
"Kace can be Ron." .....momma, trying not to laugh at the drama queen emerging in the form of my son.
"What about Hermilly?" ....Kace.
"Hermilley?" .......Daddy. "You can be Hermilly, Silas, if you're gonna act like a girl." .....Daddy, laughing.
"NOT N-E-VILLLEEE!!!" . . . . Silas, ignoring us.

The Quiet Game
One of the best moments of my day is when this happens:
It's not really a game that we play!
It's a miracle of Epic proportions!
A master Achievement!
It's Undeniably the most relaxing time of our day!
And it doesn't last long... but it's well worth it!!
Note: many of you are mad at me right now, but for heaven sake why? You know it's nice after a long day to have some stillness?!
2 nd Note: We haven't gotten everything out of storage yet, and Kace asked to sleep on the floor because he said he made himself a special bed! And yes I know it's been two months! It's hard moving furniture with so many kiddies!
