Aidan drew this picture and then announced to me that it was for his friend Ariana... but since she is in Russia we thought we thought we would post it on here so she could see it.
We sure do miss you guys!
PS The fish and frog are doing great!
I am sure all you Bachelor fans are just as shocked as I am. It's one thing to make a choice and do what you think is right and then to realize you made the wrong decision. It is a whole other thing to bring her on National Television to break the news to her that you are still in love with the other person. Shame on you Jason! And yet, as much as I vow to never watch the Bachelor again, somehow I always get sucked in. For example, tonight on the second "After the Rose" they are going to announce the next Bachelorette and if it is Jillian (my prediction) I am so in!
If you have not noticed... Aidan gets a hold of my camera a lot. Here are the latest pictures of my crazy kid.
I love the fact that Brinn is all girl!
Such a sweetie!
Oh Yeah! 
Brinn showing off some of her words!
David and I went with my brother and Lauren to the Rodeo the day before Valentine's day.
Actually I went as my alter-ego "Betty Jean" and David went as his alter-ego "Bucky!"
"Bucky" and "Lane" chowin!
"Betty Jean, Bucky, Lane, and Dolly." 
The Rodeo was great but the highlight of the night was the Goo-Goo Dolls concert that followed. I told David that I was excited to go even if I didn't know any of their songs. He informed me that I did... and he was right. Every other song was one that I knew (well) from the radio. Who knew I was a goo-goo dolls fan? Certainly not me, but I am! It was so much fun! I recorded one of the songs but couldn't get it to upload... bummer!
Thanks David for taking me... I love you!
For Valentine's day this year we made it all about the family! (David and I did go out the night before... look for that post tomorrow.)
We started off by making cards for each other...
Aidan hard at work...
The finished products. We took turns delivering them under each other's bedroom doors and Aidan LOVED it!
And what Valentines day is complete without a ton of sugar and sprinkles?!?
Hope your Valentine's day was as yummy as ours!
Just in case you missed this on my facebook:
1. I still have one baby tooth in my mouth with no permanent to replace it… so I am trying to hold onto it for as long as possible.
2. Speaking of baby… I have had very easy labors with both of my kids… each lasted 6 hours or less.
3. I seriously have a patch of gray hairs in one spot on my head that I discovered in college. Aaahhh!
4. My dream in high school was to be Eponine on Broadway.
5. I have an obsession with reality TV shows.
6. I was once and will forever be a Schwan. “When I say hi Schwan, you say what up!”
7. I preformed with Liza Minnelli as a kid. (AKA- Daughter of The Wizard of Oz’s Judy Garland)
8. I love to blog… and I know I am addicted because I always write the blog entry in my head during an event in which I plan to blog about in the future!
9. I was electrocuted as a child when I put something in a socket and it threw me back against the dryer… save yourself the time: I’ve already heard the line, “That explains why you are the way you are.”
10. As I child I always associated my last name with sloppy-joes.
11. I believed in leprechauns when I was little and made a home for them in my pencil box with fabric and left them food to eat.
12. My first crush in Elementary school was a boy named Trevor Rushton.
13. I am really good at setting goals… not every good at following through. I’m working on it!
14. My favorite flavor of ice cream is chocolate chip cookie dough.
15. I went to Egypt for two weeks and it was awesome!
16. I am a Grobanite (AKA- Josh Groban fan) for sure and would love, love, love to sing a duet with him.
17. I love and hate being a pilot’s wife.
18. The most rewarding job(other than being a mom, of course) I ever had was working at Crisis Nursery- a daycare for kids at risk of abuse and neglect and with families in crisis.
19. Someday I dream of doing something big... but I have not figured out what it is yet.
20. I married a bald man. David was undergoing chemotherapy for cancer at the time. So glad those times are in the past!
21. I dread washing sippy cups… I don’t know why but I hate it!
22. My favorite weather is a cold, rainy, day: as long as I am in inside nice and warm and curled up on the couch with a good book.
23. Since David and I have been married we have moved 7 times. I HATE moving. Not so much the meeting new friend’s part, more the boxing, unpacking, hassle part.
24. I would much rather have a few really good friends then lots of semi-friends… quality not quantity.
25. This was a lot harder than I thought it would be!
I am sure you are all dying to know who my final pick is for The Bachelor so without further a due:
It's not that I don't like Molly. I just feel that Melissa is a better fit for him and here is why I think he actually picks her. After the show the other night they said something like "a moment we kept as intimate as possible for all the party's involved." I think Jason actually meets Melissa's parents for the first time on the stage, and maybe even Ty will be there. Man, this is consuming way too much of my time and energy. Oh well, what can you do? :)
Anyways, my two cents on the whole thing.
