our lovin' weekend.

Saturday morning Jacob called me from his room, telling me to come and see how cozy he and ammon were. They were all snuggled up in his bed, and Jacob was sharing his baby blanket (yes that he still sleeps with. smile) with ammon. Of course, i ran to get my camera. They were too cozy and cute to pass up.

I continued the tradition this year to take the girls to a romantic ballet on Valentine's day weekend. This year we went with friends!

Note to self. Next time feed the kids before we go. Here is Lizzie crying after the performance because she is so hungry. She then cried after we ate because she ate too much. sheesh.

I love this picture because of the black and white with splashes of yellow throughout. Isn't that cool. Not even planned. smile.

After church on Sunday we went on our annual (3rd year running) trip up to Flagstaff to sled with the Nielsens. We visit Sunday evening, and sled on the Monday holiday.

Here we are singing away to "scripture scouts". If you haven't heard of the scripture scouts, they are so so awesome and I highly recommend them. They can be found at Deseret Book.

The weather was so beautiful up there. Jacob made Rachel take pictures of him, Tatum and Preston snowboarding off jumps. They thought they were pretty cool.

What did Dave and I do for Valentine's day? That is none of your business. smile.

Hope your weekend was filled with lots of love too!!

good things about today

1. I was so inspired by watching "the biggest loser" (my family's favorite show), that I went to the gym first thing this morning and did two classes. A power step, and a pilates class. I have never done two classes in a row before. I felt quite proud. It felt a little bit like a last chance workout. So when I got home I had a "weigh in". I had gained three pounds. ha ha. That's why I need to keep this up. I have been eating pie, ice-cream, cookies etc. for every meal. Rachel was on a chocolate chip cookie making kick for a week. We were all sick, but she perfected the skill. I wish I had one right now in fact.

2. The rest of the day, I spent a lot of time snuggling my baby. Of course, that is what I do every day. He is such a snuggle bug.

3. I had 4 cavities filled. Ok, so it is a good thing that it is done and over with.

4. This next one is good and sad. We may be moving this summer. Could be Korea, Germany, or Cocoa Beach Florida. But that is a whole other long story that I can't even think or talk about for two weeks when we know for sure.

5.My hubby took me out to dinner because I was craving the little chimis and rootbeer from that mexican restaurant that is next to the movie theatre. REally, really, those two items are the best there. Plus they are so so nice at this restaurant. The best service. And yes, I had a dessert. The flan was so delightful.

6. I talked to my Grandma and she is coming to visit again for two weeks. "SICK" -that's what Jacob said when I told him. The new way to say that something is super cool. I just hope that "sick" in the real meaning isn't a premonition of how I will be feeling this time. Last year when she came to stay I found out I was pregnant and went into the hospital with kidney stones the first day she was here. Then I struggled with Nausea the rest of the time. She is anxious to meet ammon and "play with the kids" she told me on the phone. The woman is almost 90, and she can't wait to play with my kids. Man, I love her.

7. Last but not least......Marlene Fenton dropped off a cheesecake for Dave, for helping her. But he's asleep, and it's been over 4 hours since my last dessert. I think that might just be the perfect end to this day. Especially if I eat it while watching wheel of fortune. I am obsessed with Wheel of Fortune lately. I love tivo.

PS. Nancy, if you are reading this.....I forgot to call you today to see if you did your assignment. You better have or kill kill kill (mrs. hannigan voice). love ya.

PPS. If you think I didn't have any bad things about today, you are mistaken. Like all good husbands, Dave let me vent about the negative and then took me out to dinner to lift my spirits. Thanks my darling. You are a good thing about every day. Except when I am mad at you. smile.

What were the good things about your day? Pray tell.

see teri, you're a natural.

Teri kept apologizing the whole photo shoot that she wasn't comfortable in front of the camera. You would never know from the pictures. Am I right, or am i right?

i love this one.

love it.

30 looks good on you teri!

So, all you ladies who are embarrassed in front of the camera.....just give me one hour with you and I will show you just how incredibly beautiful you are!!! (at any age i might add)

Rachel's new boyfriend

I bet you can't help but smile when you see this picture of Jaron. Is he the cutest thing you have ever seen? His family just moved here from Hawaii, and we love them all. Rachel has fallen the hardest for this handsome boy. He came over yesterday to give her a hug and jump on the trampoline. Now we have one more reason to love Hawaii. Mahalo, and ALLLLLLOOOOOHHHAAA!

there is beauty all around....

......when there's love at home.

For Hire.

Ammon loooovees to play under this, and I love to watch him.

I love how he sucks in his lower lip, and this shirt he is wearing is my favorite.

i think I will make a poster size print of this picture. oh those yummy legs. They are so soft and cozy. I squeeze them all day.

his stinky sweaty baby toes. love em'Then Jacob gets home from school, and i am chopped liver. As soon as Ammon hears and sees Jacob he can't stop smiling and cooing. Look at the total love in his eyes. The feeling is definitely mutual.

oh my two handsome boys.
