Noah's glasses

Well Noah was having a hard time seeing the board at school so we took him to get his eyes checked. The poor little guy can't see a thing! He was so happy today when he put his glasses on and he could see. The ride home was so cute. Mom I can read that sign over there. I can see the rain drops on the window. So here he is with his new glasses.

Three times the love

So this is a bit late, but hey life is busy and time goes by way to fast. We had a fun Valentine's day well I should say days at our house. We had the kids school parties (day one) then we had a party at our house (day two) then it was the actual valentines day. Wow it was a bunch of work but it was fun too.

Here is our dessert. The kids love to get this when we go out to eat so we thought that we would make it for our V-day treat.

The puppies even got special pancakes for breakfast.

Here is my gift from Matt. I love it so much! I love that Matt picked it out!

Here is Matt's present.

Here is Emma at our breakfast.

The week before my dad died they were up here visiting and took us out for lunch. We were looking at the breakfast menu and the kids saw that they had pancakes with sprinkles on them. My Dad (being the grandpa that he was) told them that when he came back in September he would take them for breakfast so they could try out the pancakes. We are so sad that we never got to do that, but the kids said that we could put sprinkles on our pancakes. So now we do it all the time!

Cupid comes to our house the night before the big day. Libbie was so excited that he was coming. Emma did not believe it for a second that a half naked fairy was going to fly to our house and give them some presents. (I love that she still finds it believable that a big fat elf can fly to our house and leave her presents. Kids are so cute!

Here are the kids making valentines at our party.

Here they are decorating sugar cookies.

Here is Libbie making a card for Dad. She told me the other day that she was sad that I got to marry Dad and she didn't.

More fun

Here is Noah at his class party handing out valentines.

Libbie and Noah sitting at his desk. Noah was letting her help him play bingo. He is a very good big brother.

We made 60 bags of white chocolate popcorn for Noah and Emma's classes.

Here is Emma checking out all her treats.

Libbie helped her hand them out.

If you have never had an Oreo pizza then you have to give it a try. We eat homemade pizza a lot (it's a Friday night tradition in Matt's family. Are we the only ones who do it???) Anyway we like to try to change it up and this is one that we will make over and over!

Here is Libbie playing with non-Newtonian fluid or if your your Libbie you just call it gloop:o)

Owen wasn't sure what to think of it. It was so funny to watch him. This isn't his first time, but he must not have remembered!

The new scripture theme for the youth of the church is 1st Timothy 4:12 : Let no man despise thy youth: but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. I made this for our table in young women's. I would just have to say that we have some of the best (an funniest youth in our ward). I am so thankful for the chance I have had to get to know them. It gives me hope that my kids will be able to make it in this world!

What really goes on when the husband is at work!

When I got home after work 11:30 pm the lights were still on, I got inside and there was Lindsay gunning down some Germans.

I couldn't get mad though because my dinner was on a plate waiting for me, the house was clean, the kids were all asleep, and it's pretty hot seeing her gunning down everyone.
