The Performance... wow!

So the girls love to put on mini performances for Mike and I. Yesterday they wanted to do one. They have some play make-up and usually like to put a little on. (the usual places such as their eyes etc.) Well to our stunning surprise, this is how they came out to perform. McKinley did not have a part of her face that wasn't covered with blue or white eye shawdow. She was very proud of her interpretive make-up. Needless to say the performance was a Hit!

Our "beautiful" McKinley...

A Full Day of LOVE...

So when did Valentine's Day become so much work?
I know that I do it to myself, but I just love Valentine's Day. We started out the morning bright and early with a special heart waffle breakfast. The kids think that special breakfasts are awesome! I guess anything beats a bowl of cold cereal.


Lunch was Heart egg sandwiches. They have been begging me for egg sandwiches for the past week. They worked out perfect.

We had a special dinner. Not a romantic evening, but very fun none the less. By the time we had all of our special meals, made all of our school valentines, passed out friends and neighbor treats, I was exhausted. But our family loves Valentines!!!

Spencer was my sweet little valentine. He is always up for anything and is such a sweet little boy. Next year he will be all about the food and treats like the girls. On to the next holiday...

Happy Birthday Ashley...yesterday

Yesterday was my amazing sister Ashley's Birthday!!! We hope that she had a great day in the Big Apple. We can't wait to see you!

The PERFECT Day!

Saturday was a SKI day. Which means that my awesome husband took the kids for me again and gave me a bit of freedom. It was the most beautiful day ever. The snow was absolutely incredible. We went as girls from our ward and had a blast. I have not skied much since I have had kids and I realized how much I really LOVE to ski. So much of my elementary, Jr. High, and High School experience was hitting the slopes every weekend. The only trouble is, now I can't get it out of my blood. I keep thinking to myself "when can I get back up there and go again?" We are planning another Saturday in a few weeks, but I think that at least I might take McCall up one afternoon soon just to be up in the fresh beautiful mountains.
