Time goes by so quickly when you are having fun!!!  Yesterday was a fantastic day.  The kids were out of school and I Loved it ..... They rested their tired little eyes and woke up when they wanted too!  I love those easy going days.  We made buttermilk pancakes and coconut syrup.  Delicious!!!!  The boys played with friends and the girls produced their own movie.  What a perfect day!!!   

       Hannah had her first dance competition the last week in February!!!!!  They were so awesome.  I wanted to share a few of the pictures I took of her that day.  They took first place and platinum in all of  their routines.  They also took a first place overall.  It was so much fun seeing what see has been learning this year.  Way to go GiRlS!!!!!!!!!

The boys have successfully completed another year of junior Jazz.  Yeeeeeaaaaahh!!!!!  They love basketball.  Each year they are learning and they are improving so much.  Logan was always the lead scorer.  Jake had some amazing shots also.  It is so fun watching them do better and better each year.  Maybe one day if  there heart desires, they can make it into the NBA!!!!!!  Wouldn't that give me something to talk about!  I love my BoYs.......

Who do you love????  I love my family.  I love Valentines Day.  I think it is a good excuse to kiss and hug the people you love all day long.....Brad bought the girls beautifully decorated sugar cookies and a dozen red roses.  They smelled so wonderful!!!!!!  It is a tradition since Hannah's middle name is Rose.  I think Valentines Day should be her holiday.  The boys got a box of chocolates, and their favorite Webkinz.  They love waking up and finding a special treasure nicely displayed.  It makes them feel loved and remembered.  I prefer kissing their cheeks all day long.  Forget the chocolates!!!!  My Valentine bought me a delicate daisy bracelet.  It is just perfect.  It makes me want to smile,  I love him.  I love the way he smells....  We had a delicious candle light dinner.  We ate steak and shrimp, and  we drank sparkling bubbly.  Most importantly we enjoyed each others company.  For dessert we had chocolate dipped strawberries!!!!!!  They were so yummy!  Jake said, " These are beauties"!  I think  Valentines Day is a day to always remember.... Kisses

I went to the school today.  I read with the children in Jake's class.  It is always so rewarding.  I went to Logan's class to help the 1st graders learn to count to 20 by 2's!  Oh, that was so much fun! They count by 2's, 10's, 20's, 1's.  Just whatever crosses their little minds...  Then they look at you for your approval.  They are so proud, so sure, so confident.  I give them a little smile and tell them how smart and wonderful they are.  What would we ever do without these precious children?  I could also hear Logan's teacher Mrs. Jensen, teaching the class about Abraham Lincoln.  She was reminding them of presidents day on Monday.  They were telling her everything they knew about him.  I listened silently from the hallway.  One little girl said, " I think he is very handsome".  Oh, they are so sweet!  I walked into the room and quietly whispered one of my favorite quotes into Logan's ear.  " Whatever you are, be a good one."  He raised his hand into the air to share his story of  the past president.  What blessed children......
