Celebrating Valentines Day and getting a visit from Rita, Aubrey and Ethan

We were lucky enough to have Theresa's sister and her kids come visit us from freezing cold Michigan. I think it was below 0 degrees up there. Here in Southern California, the sun is shining and it's in the 70s!

Ian was fascinated with these wireless headphones.

And a short time later looked like a little teenager. Headphones on, playing on the phone, lounging on the couch with his feet propped up.

Maybe these new visitors don't know any better...

Mommy lets me eat all the ice cream I want. Honest.

Pretty soon we're going to have to sign Ian up for swim classes.

He loves the water anyway and really likes to splash.

Playing with the volleyball and football with Ethan.

Today also happens to be valentines day. Gram and Pop Pop sent him some animal toys that make noise and light up.
Gee thanks. Not annoying at all. :)

At night, the whole family gathered around the TV to watch cousin/nephew James Moontasri fight in the UFC on Fox Sports 1.

It was an entertaining fight, but it's always weird watching someone you grew up with fighting on TV.

James ended up beating Cody Pfister by rear naked choke in the 2nd round. There was lots of cheering coming from our living room.

To celebrate valentines day, I cooked up steak, to go with potatoes and rolls. Ian showing off his sign language saying "more" steak.

Ian got a great big valentines card from his Mommy and Daddy.

Giving the bear a kiss.

He put it on the floor and would then lay on top of it.

Handing Mommy a chocolate heart. I also got her flowers.

Showing off their great big cards.

Aww. Love you Mommy. Happy Valentines Day.
