Sweet hearts

My little chef

I took a cake decorating class at Joann's.  I have been wanting to do this for years!  I had an absolute blast and learned some great tips.

Tommy loves Lily!

Preschool Valentine Exchange

Cake decorating class number 2

Lily's favorite spot

This boy was SO excited for his parties at school. The 100th day and the Valentine's party.  He reminded me it was his first Valentines party, last year we were in Utah and missed it.

What a fun holiday

His cute class, all in red.

Another great craft

We've made a little tradition of going down to Philadelphia one weekend in the winter to not necessarily escape the cold but escaping the daily routine.  We get a hotel for a night to enjoy the swimming pool and the continental breakfast and the hotel...the kids love it!  It's something they really look forward to. (They only had a shower so I gave Lily a bath in the sink.  The kids thought it was the funniest thing)

We had some friends from Philadelphia come visit us and we went to the bowling/arcade center.

The Activity Day girls heart attacked the Primary Presidency.  So sweet!

Rachel "invented" a sport called "slurfing" and she has spent all kinds of time researching ways to patent it and raise enough money to patent it.

We went to the farm one weekend for Maple Sugaring

Pancakes with farm eggs, their grown and ground wheat, homemade butter, and their maple syrup.  Wow!  So good.

This winter has been relentless.  One morning the weather channel indicated it "felt like -19 degrees" I have never ever experience even near that cold!  Crazy!!

Another great preschool (make your own monster letter M day)

She has started really liking books...to join the club

Working on the computer one day, Lily walk in to show me this.  She is too cute!
