February Love

Last week we enjoyed some sun!

My three favorites!

We baked some heart shaped cookies for my Daddy Daughter Date activity with my Activity Day's girls

She has learned how to lick the beater well.......I my self am a pro!

We baked some miniature ones to share with her friends that came over on Valentines day- I didn't have any red food coloring so they were yellow hearts!

This little munchkin has become a little bit of a mama's girl....can't say that I'm hating it. It's kinda nice to be the one that she wants for once.

Colby and I got to go to dinner for Valentines this year without her!! Ha ha- we took her over to my cousin Rick's house and his boys watched her while Rick, Amber (his wife that I work & carpool with), Colby, and I enjoyed some good ole Ninja!! YYYYUUUUUMMMM

This is what usually happens while I'm trying to cook dinner....actually...this is a mild mess compared to the damage this little tornado can do!

She loves to point and say "NO"........she doesn't exactly enunciate the 's' for snow. But I love hearing her say it! (FYI- she was only out in the cold for a minute before I hustled her back in the house to get warm.) 

After lots and lots of begging, we put on a coat and headed back to see the snow!

Regardless of having a coat on the bug was already in motion and the next morning she woke up feeling crummy. She spent the entire day on the couch with Charlie.....she even fell asleep.....which she doesn't do unless she is in her crib!

She is now feeling better but still has a runny nose and cough- I hate it when kiddos are sick!

This is how we do it...........

A few weeks ago I went through my pantry- it was getting a little scary in there! I was super sad because I found sooooo much food that had expired. So I took notice and decided to donate some of the food that I know we wouldn't get through before it would expire. Needless to say, that food is still in my trunk awaiting the day I take a minute to drop it off at the Care and Share.

The last weekend in January I met up with some of my favorite women. My mom, aunts, cousins, and cousin-in-laws. We have made the resolution to get together at least once a year-----we had a BLAST!!!! Its amazing the things you can learn and the connections that can be made in just a couple days. We simply kicked Misha's kids and hubby out of their house and took over every nook and cranny of her house! We played games and ate good food and shopped every consignment shop in St. George. I left anxious for the next time! I was so mad at myself that I forgot my camera! So I snapped a couple pics with my phone but they don't have everyone in them- grrrrr! Amber (cousin-in-law), Monica (cousin), and Dianne (Aunt), were all there at some point as well!

Then this last weekend, I ventured to the other end of the state for a conference called Time Out for Women in Layton with my in-laws. There were so many inspiring, funny, and uplifting words that were spoken and some great music to go along. We all felt so good afterwords.

On the first day of the conference, I kept seeing a girl that I just knew had to be my old friend from high school rodeo. So I "facebooked" her to ask so that I didn't go running up to some stranger looking like an idiot! It was, in fact, Jandie and coincidentally at the Saturday session, she was sitting right in front of me! It was sooooo good to see her--- (it's been almost 7 years!) I can't believe its almost been that long since I graduated high school!

Isn't she gorgeous....... Look at those eyes!

I came back to reality to this little nudist.....well....half nudist. She decided that she needed her diaper and pants to be low-riding.

Why do we buy toys for kids.....boxes provide hours of entertainment, my phone is fun to take funny pics with, Charlie makes for fun, and a binky is a girl's best friend.

CHHHEEEEESSEE!!!
