Whoever feels like doing it, go for it...it wasn't so bad :)

On Mondays we do a playgroup with some of my friends from high school and their kids that are Andrews age. This week we decided to go to the Draper Temple Open house. We had so much fun. Andrew was so excited to go inside since he never gets to. He especially loved the baptismal font and the amazing chandelier in the ceiling room. While we were inside I tried to talk to him about the spirit and about the warm fuzzy feeling we get inside that lets us know this gospel it true. He said "Mommy I think I am feeling the fuzzy feeling right now." Cute kid! I hope he remembers!

Frisbee Golf

We had to take advantage of the amazing weather last Saturday so we headed to a park for some frisbee golf and some playground action. We had a blast...we always do when daddy is around. I don't know if I have ever missed nice weather as much as I do this year. I can't wait for spring!

Iron Chef Cook Off

I never posted pictures of our amazing Iron Chef competition. For those of you who don't know what it is we had a cook off. We ended up winning but only out of default. Both of us had great entrees but totally bombed the desserts. It is just not right...having two amazing meals and nothing great for dessert.

This Is Love

Since my Dad is no longer here to buy my Mom flowers, he told me to make sure and get something great for every possible occasion. These came for her today almost seven years after he died. I want my love to last like that....through the eternities. I love my dad for the way he loves my mom.

Happy Valentine's Day

Slacker

I have been a total slacker when it comes to blogging. It is sad to because we have done so many fun things. Not that anyone really cares too much but for the sake of looking back here is what we have been up to...

*St George with the Thackary's and the Anderson's
*Swimming
*Playing at the Sand Dunes
*Tennis
*Bocce
*Story time
*Kangaroo Zoo
*Discovery Museum
*Finally beginning to run outside again after a nasty few inversion days...and I know more to come-RAW
*Music Class
*Playgroups with fun new friends
*Couples dinners with friends
*Game nights
*Moved back home to our apt. because my mom's hip is healing!!!

Anyway, we have had a blast. Hopefully I will be much better about updating because seriously it is so much fun to look back and all the things we do. When I think about blogging I take much better pictures too. (I took one picture in George...sad)
