Valentine's Day.

 Happy Valentine's Day.
We started our day with pink heart shaped pancakes.
 And lots of red fruit.
 Truman and Bodie's Valentine's to each other.
Pete coloring in his new coloring book.
This was the first year that we had a "make-a-Valentine box" assignments.  Truman knew immediately what he wanted to do, he got straight to work on it over a week ago.
 I helped add layers of paper mache while he was at school.
 His favorite part was adding all the finishing details at the end - I think it turned out great.
{I love Truman's outfit today - red underneath but still representing BYU and blue on top}.
 I couldn't resist doing a little Norah Valentine's photos shoot.
I'll post more.
 Bodie's class decorated bags as an in-class activity.
He came home so happy.
 We ran over to the school in the afternoon to help with Truman's class party.
 We taught the kids how to make heart shaped origami bookmarks - it was a huge hit.
 Younger siblings helping with the party - Bodie and Hannah Laird.
 I love when they get home and checkout all their loot - we had fun sitting around and reading all their valentine's  (I was frantically texting my girlfriends letting them know how cute their kids valentines were)
 I got beautiful roses :)
 Pete and Norah received cute Valentine bracelets in the mail from Tagg and Hazel - what a fun surprise.
Lots of fun Valentine's treats.
Our 'fancy' Papa Murphy's $5 heart pizza dinner.
It's also tradition that I get a HUGE Valentine's card from the kids and Gregg.
I love it!
And our final surprise of the day was some door-bell ditched Valentine's glasses from our McGown cousins.
Best new Valentine home decor is this neon 'love' sign.

Bodie's writing.

I love little kid handwriting, especially my kids writing (!)
This month is literacy month at school and the kids have had weekly assignments, besides reading, to help build literacy.  This alphabet by Bodie is one of my favorites.
 Bodie practiced writing everyone's name in our family during Sacrament Meeting, it kept him busy the entire time!
 At school art.
 10 words that starts with "T"
Three sentences about himself.
I love you too Bodie.

Last game.

I have loved watching these cute little kids play basketball every Wednesday night.
Tonight we played against two of Truman's best friends.
Luke,  Truman, Jake.
It was a great game, both team were very nice to each other despite the huge gap in the score :)

Gregg's birthday.

Happy Birthday Gregg!!!
We had the craziest day ever, lots going on and a few unexpected twist and turns.  Gregg selflessly helped out even though it meant his special day wasn't all about him like we planned.
Cutie Norah.
Addie made his cake and the boys chose the candles.
Thanks Bodie for the picture of us!
From my parents Gregg recieved this Luggable Loo cover you put on a 5 gallon bucket to make a toilet incase of an emergency.  And not that kind of emergency ... more like 'a natural disaster you have to leave your home' or 'something happens to the sewer system' kind of emergency.
 Hilarious but totally practical and appreciated.
 I was able to sneak Gregg away for an hour today for couples pedicures.
Heaven!
He loved it and of course I did.

We are the luckiest family in the world to have him!
Happy Birthday Gregg.

Basketball.

I love watching Truman play basketball.
Maybe I have a basketball player on my hands ... it will be interesting to see what sport Truman wants to pursue.
You go Truman even though you are a whole head shorter than anyone else.

I love little basketball games.
