Tilley Time


Today Tilley and I spent some extra time together, just her and I. We are going on day 13 with the stomach flu. All my kids have had it and Trini , it has been quite a ride! Tills got a very mild case of it and has been a super trooper about being cooped up for so long. So while Anns and Cinco slept we whipped up a batch of cookies.


Precious little hands at work.
Cookie dough...the best part of our whole day.
Aunt Jenn and Uncle Kyle gave my girls these chef outfits for Christmas--they are a huge it and used on a daily basis. Tilley-Claire calls her mit an "oven hand"....she uses it whether she needs to or not.

PURE PERFECTION!



We turned our chef coat into a lab coat and did some snow coloring
(thanks aunt jen)



We had a great time together!

SNOW Awsome!



Sunday, February 23 we woke up to no power and a winter wonderland outside....it was beautiful. Northern Nevada has been pelted by winter weather this year. We have had rain, snow, sleet, snow, fog, pogonip. Most people are so tired of the long, dreary winter days, but I am not. I was excited to see another dumping of the white stuff and even more excited to watch my kids play in it all day long!
The playhouse is the first place my kids run to, whether rain (snow) or shine. They have logged in hundred of hours in this structure of fun. Thank you Poppa for all of your hard work...it has paid off!


SNOW BUDDIES!



Emm in complete wonder!
Trini is very serious about his snow blowing. He is very methodical and no one can bother him while he is clearing the driveway and pathways. Thanks Trin for taking such good care of us.
Snow Sisters

Sometimes threes a crowd on such a project.
This picture is completely posed as far as Tilley-Claire goes. She proceeded to tell us that our snowman was ugly and it freaked her out. I told her if she wanted to see herself on the computer(her favorite thing to do) she had to get in the picture and smile with her sisters.
This picture was taken in the early afternoon....12 inches and counting. It snowed ALL day long.
Tills and Cinco headed back out for round 2. If you look close you can see Cinco has his "Woobie" just in case things get too rough.

Snow much JOY!

Trini called Cinco Sven all day long. It cracked me up!

Tills made her own snowman that didn't freak her out!




We had a fabulous day!

Happy Hearts!




I truly love a holiday! I love a project, a baked good, ribbon, fancy paper, I love all the love that goes into making a holiday a holiday...it brings joy to my heart! So here is some of the LOVE that that the Guillen Girls shared this Valentine's!

Chocolate dipped Rice Krispy hearts with sprinkles for Annsley-Rae's Valentine treats. Tilley helped me 'til wee hours of the morning putting them all together. We lost Anns about 11:00...she couldn't hang anymore.




Anns was a little sad that she had to wear her uniform, when everyone else was getting all festive, but that morning on the phone she told her Aunt Jenn..."I am going to show a little spirit I'm wearing my Red Converse!"
Emmery-Kate had a definite idea on what she wanted for her Valentines...hearts on a stick!

Tilley-Claire also has a deep love for a holiday. She couldn't wait to partake in all of the days activities!


Mr. DiCiano and Mrs. Bean make our hearts happy EVERY day!!!!

A Valentine's Day Breakfast is somewhat of a tradition at Huffaker. We always have a minimum day, therefore, we do a breakfast for the party. This year we made heart shaped waffles, bacon, fruit and juice. It is a perfect way to begin a perfect day!

Tills went with me to Emm's class for the party. She was such a good girl and we had a great time.
Showin' her sister the ropes!


Emm-Kate's favorite person in the whole world.....MRS.BEAN!
There is no better T-shirt for these two girls...their love runs deep!

I had a difficult time getting all four of my kids together for a picture. So here are just a few snapshots to capture some Valentine Love!





How blessed am I by all this LOVE!
