Since the Valentine family is expanding, (by one more - coming August 2012) we thought we'd change the website a little bit to incorporate the whole family and all of our activities (Ryan really wanted a place to show off his hunting photos...). So you'll still see the cute pictures of Payton and Colt, but now you'll see the pictures and updates on everyone!

 

A little history on us... Ryan and Patrice met in 2004 on a blind date. After 9 months or so, Ryan proposed, 6 months later we got married... on Valentine's day of 2005. We started our family with dogs. Patrice has had Ryder since 2000 and we got Sarge in 2006. In 2007 we decided to try the kid route and wound up with Payton June.

 

Payton June Valentine was born on October 21st, 2007 at 3:06pm. She weighed in at 8lbs 2oz and was 20.5 inches long.

 

Payton got a (younger, but not smaller) brother on March 13th, 2010 when Colton Robert Valentine was born. He is a total ham and so much fun.

 

This party of 4 is becoming a party of 5 in August of 2012. What were we thinking? Damn you red wine... We are looking forward to #3 although we can't say the same for Ryder and Sarge.
