Just got back from a "girls night out" and yes we had FHE first and then Dad's got to put their little ones to bed....I love that I have my sisters here in town....wish you were closer Chels, and that they are truly my best of friends. Dang it I forgot to take a picture of us together and I even had my camera! Our addition is moving right along and I needed to find bedding for our new room, hence the girls night out, so I could decide on paint colors...I can't wait! The concrete set perfectly and it really is beautiful as beautiful as concrete can be! The drywall is being hung and Justin came home with the tile today and a few weeks ago we picked up the wood burning stove. Last Friday I finally found my perfect sectional on craigslist, it is this really cool bluish color and I also bought the rug that they were selling too! My sisters and I even picked it up and moved it home all by ourselves!
We started February with a visit from Justin's brother's family. The kids had so much fun playing together, as always the visit was way too short and the girls continue to ask when they will get to see their Utah cousins again.
We then headed to my nephew's baptism up north and came home via San Francisco, where we stayed with a friend of mine. I love the fact that only time I can get all my family to look in the same direction is when a total stranger takes the photo. It works every time!
So my youngest sister decided we ought to have an anniversary party for our parents, it was a total last minute thing and it was so FUN. They were absolutely surprised about the whole thing! And my whole family was there...Chelsea and her family surprised all of us and drove down for the big party! Happy 36th to the BEST parents around!
Lainey and Malia started karate a few weeks ago we got a REALLY good deal on lessons at a YW camp fundraiser and they have loved their classes. They can go up to 3 times a week and the smiles on their faces is so worth it! I love that Malia now bows when she steps off the rug in our living room and says "yes mam" to me. Lyndie likes to sit on the side and try to do whatever they are doing...she and I are taking a swimming class together through her school and today she amazed me by swimming about 7 feet under water...I can't wait for our summer pool days to start again!
In honor of Dr Seuss we celebrated with Green Eggs and Ham...we had the missionaries for dinner that night so they got to join in on our birthday celebration!
Strawberry season is here again! This stand is less than 1/2 a mile from our house and they have the BEST berries you have ever eaten.
We've celebrated 2 birthdays in the last month...it's so hard to believe that our baby is 3 now. We went to Disneyland on her birthday...it was the last day of our passes and her last time to get in free! Lainey opted for a wacky olympics party which we celebrated at the park with her friends and cousins. And to think she is now 6...as my mother in law put it she's a third of the way to 18, I told her I didn't want to think about that!
And that concludes our month in review...
until next month!
