For Valentine's Day we made heart shaped pizza (we've done it the past couple years) and homeade grape juice all set with candles. The kids think it's the funnest thing! Yum, Yum!
Garet and Camille helped me make sugar cookies and then they made valentines to take to there primary teachers and a couple friends in the neighborhood. We are grateful for such good friends and teachers!
Garet is the shyest little boy. He doesn't like any attention on him and hides his face when the camera comes out, so we have to bribe him in order to get cute shots like this:
He is so photogenic.
A week before Valentine's we went up to Liberty to go on a horse-drawn sleigh ride and see some Elk. It was a gorgeous day and wasn't too cold. The elk were amazing and the kids enjoyed the sleigh ride and seeing the big horses. We went with a couple of Jared's work friends and had a nice lunch afterwards. It was an enjoyable day!
Camille, Garet, and Mason have been playing outside, wishing for Spring to come. Mason has discovered the dirt. He would play outside for hours if I let him. He cries everytime he has to come in. Camille has been riding her bike and scooter. We have a mound of dirt covering our side walk, so they built a little jump with some wood from nearby construction sites! Their little friends across the street come over and play with them.
Garet is a dirt lover also!
We were able to tend my niece, Hazel, while her mom and dad went on a Valentine get-a-way. She just turned one and is the sweetest, cutest little lady ever! We had a fun time with her.
Mason has discovered how to talk on the phone. He walks around saying, "Dada" What a sweetie!
One night the kids were eating cookies for a treat and Mason really wanted to sit by them on a stool, so I put him up there and he was in heaven. He thinks he's a big boy!
Sunday best! I love taking pictures on Sunday because all the goods look cute at the same time!
Garet and his spiky hair:)
Handsome Mason, as always with a wound on his head. I think he's had one every week that we've been to our new ward! Poor kid!
And.... to my sweetest love of all, Jared! We started a fun tradition this year. Starting on Feb 1 I sent him an email everyday of reasons why I loved him. I called it the, "14 Days of Valentines". It was a lot of fun, and a good way to focus on the positive! I love him so much and couldn't imagine life without him!
We also got to go night skiing with some work friends. My sister and her hubby watched the kids for us. We owe them BIG time, they know what I mean! Thanks so much, we had a great night out!
