It’s been a while since I’ve updated! I discovered facebook and I admit it, I've been cheating on blogger with facebook. But, I'm back now, forgive me blogger. :)
We had a great Valentines day. Justin spoiled me (as he does every year) with a beautiful bouquet of roses. He also got a singing balloon for the boys and a single red rose and baby balloon for Bree. She is the princess after all!
Justin and I were able to go out to dinner with our long time friends, the Deckers, for a delicious dinner at Cheesecake factory. We had fun and enjoyed the great company! Thanks to my parents for watching our kids!
This year for Valentines day, little creatures found their way to our house…the Love Bugs! They turn everything pink and red in celebration of love! They magically turned the boys milk pink and also their pancakes! 
They also turned the mac n cheese bright red (it looked more like hot tamales for lunch…kinda gross looking!)
The boys loved this. Gunner was so excited to see what color his food would be!
The love bugs also left the kids some love letters and candy of course! What would this holiday be without a some sweets?!
This is my Dad holding Breezy. Such a sweet grandpa moment!
This past week we’ve been enjoying life at home! Bree has been doing really well. She’s had a cold but never got any fevers! She has pulled her NG tube out at least 4 times and I’ve had to put it back in. Sadly, putting the tube back in comes really easily to me now. I remember the first time she had to put it in. I couldn’t even bare to watch…now I put it down her in no time! But, she does seem to do well with it. She hardly cries and is the toughest baby around! And it is helping her to maintain her weight. She’s back on the growth charts! (Before the tube, she started to lose weight and fell off the charts). She also did well with her daily shots of neupogen. Her body recovered really well from chemo and the doc even discontinued her shots 3 days early because her counts were so high! Go Breezy!
This weekend Bree will go in for chemo again. Treatment #6. Fortunately, it should only be a 1-day stay at the hospital and then Bree should be able to come home. We expect to be called in tomorrow. She’ll receive 3 hours of drugs and 3 hours of hydration. Then, the cycle happens again…daily shots, low blood counts and nausea. Hopefully, she won’t have nausea like the past time, but around here we’re ready for it all!

What a beautiful photo of your father holding Bree! You can easily tell she adores him! We'll pray that everything goes well for this 6th round and especially for the recovery. Oh, and fabulous Valentine's Day traditions in your family! I love how you all make everyone feel loved and special. YOU are loved and VERY special!!!
So glad to hear that you've been able to be home all week. I check here daily to check up on Bree and your family. Even thought it's a difficult thing that you are going through you give it grace and are a model for us in how to love our families every day. I continue to pray for Bree. And I feel that she's getting close to having this over with.
I'm so glad Baby Breezy is doing so well, that your kids had a good visit with their grandparents, and that you and your husband had some time for celebrating Valentine's Day! I hope things continue to go really well! God bless you!
Glad to hear you had a great Valentine's. The love bugs are a great idea! Kiss all your kiddos for me!
Thanks for posting. We love all the pictures and your love bugs and special Valentine moments. Breezy is on the final count down now. Just 2 more to go after yesterday. Hope you get feeling better soon too. Justin said you may be getting sick, we hope it won't last. We send our constant love and prayers.
You all are amazing! I am so glad Bree is doing well. I hope #6 goes smoothly! She is so strong and her parents are angels to her! Love all your beautiful pictures!
Bree has some kissable cheeks! We are so happy to hear about her progress. As always, you are my sunshine for today. Love you.
I hope that Bree is going well after her last treatment. She is just so sweet. And you are a pro at the feeding tube and you should be PROUD. I bet she will be glad to have that gone. Thanks for dinner the other night. It was great. I do not know how you keep up with everything but you are amazing.
You guys are awesome! Good luck!
We wish you the best of luck with number 6! Amazing that time is already here. You are an old pro now, and Bree has the best support. Thanks for being such a GREAT teacher through all this.
