Homemade Valentines!!






Remember the good old days when Valentines actually had substance? I really dislike the newfangled pieces of paper that they sell in the stores with Hello Kitty or Spiderman on them and attempt to pass them off as Valentines. In an effort to hearken back to the good old days (hopefully I'm not dating myself here) we made homemade Valentines this year. Meagan made sucker flowers and Parker made airplanes out of lifesavers, smarties and a pack of gum. It made for a great family night and the kids in their class loved them. I also loved the gorgeous roses that were delivered to me by my sweetheart! I love you Brian.

Busy, Basketball and the Birds!








Ok, so I'm a massive slacker! But, for those of you who know me, I am lucky to get dressed and get my makeup in the morning let alone update my blog! So here it is...FINALLY!
We have had a good but VERY busy January. Brian is finishing up his master's degree and is either to be found teaching classes, going to classes, driving to classes or playing guitar at his classes....needless to say he is one busy guy but I am proud of him for working so hard to earn his degree.
Parker received Student of the Month for January. He got to make a poster all about himself to share with the school and got to have pizza and soda with the principal for lunch one day. We are very proud of him. He is a good boy and a hard worker. He has also been involved in basketball this winter...please see above dark and grainy but cute pictures. It has been fun watching him learn and have fun playing.
We were also so excited to have a visit from my brother Jon and his family at the end of the month. We went hiking up at red rock and took some cute pictues with all the cousins. Aw--I miss living close to family--you people who do please consider yourself EXTREMELY lucky!
Well that's January in a nutshell...school, work, sports, dance class, music lessons, church callings, trying to keep Colton out of everything and colds that get passed from person to person and won't go away. We'll try to stay updated better but I can't guarantee it....
