Will you be my valentine?

Valentine's Day was full of love at our house. While I believe you should show the ones you love how much you love them on a daily basis, how can you go wrong with a whole day dedicated to just that?!? My pretty princess, my handsome boy and my hubby were the perfect valentines for me! Treats and little presents were ready for the kiddos when they got up that day and a special treat for Ryan was ready too. I just love my family so much...I couldn't help but tell them that in the form of gifts! Later that night, Lindsey, Dylan and I delivered our treats to our family. Lindsey was extra sneaky this year and was awesome and not getting caught! After the deliveries were made we spent some time at home with daddy as a family...my favorite part of the day! Love you guys!

I love my family. They take excellent care of me. For my birthday this year, Lindsey and Ryan made me breakfast in bed, Ryan took me out to dinner on Friday and Saturday we had a fun filled evening in Wendover with Kristy and Len. My favorite dinner of chicken and noodles on Sunday! Such a great birthday weekend. I couldn't ask for more. Some great memories were made and I even found out I was part of a crew! While I may be hesitant to head out to Wendover with Kristy again anytime soon, we definitely had a great time! I'm so grateful for my family and all they do for me! They put up with a lot from me and I love them!

Uh Oh the Big 3-0

I didn't want to be 30. I really, really didn't want to be 30, and I couldn't tell you why it was so dreaded....but it was. I'm not supposed to be this old. However, I was reminded numerous times by numerous people just how loved I am. And if I hadn't been around for those 30 years already, some of those people wouldn't be in my life either. I am so thankful for my many friends and family who support me and love me and make everyday that much better. The girls at work went out of their way to decorate my desk (complete with black balloons and saran wrap around the phone) and took me to lunch to celebrate. I spend so much time with them...I'm so glad I can call them my friends and am lucky to know each and everyone of them.

Cobwebs

The kids and I spent the day in SLC yesterday cleaning out part of Grandma's basement. The kids had a great time playing with the cousins while Stacie and I tried to clear out all the cobwebs, spider webs and dead things. Gross. But while searching through box after box, I came to a realization. Well, okay, a couple realizations...1, I miss my grandpa (and grandma too) a lot more than I realized. I wish my kids and Ryan could have met him and spent some time with him. 2, people save some weird stuff and I'm sure I'm just as guilty of this too but it had a meaning to the person saving it even if it doesn't have a meaning to you. 3, I really want to clean out my stuff before my children have the task. :) There will be much more to do and I'm more than willing to help out...but it was a lot harder than I thought it would be. Lots of memories in that house were held in that basement and while change can be a good thing...it's a hard thing too. I'm glad that my kids have the chance to know their grandparents, and have had the opportunity to know some of their great grandparents...I just hope they realize one day how lucky they really are.

A Black Man?!?

So I was in the kitchen the other night doing dishes and Lindsey (being all sneaky like) pops around the corner and comes up to me..."Mommy I'm a black man!" She says all excited. What?!? A Black Man?!? I am seriously confused at where she gets these things from..."what do you mean?" I ask her...She promptly kicks her leg out and give me a Hi-ya! "Do you mean a Ninja?" I ask her..."yea mommy, a ninja in black...A black man!" Oh okay....well, lets just call them Ninjas, okay? :) Love that girl of mine.
