Happy Valentines Day!

We had such a fun Valentines Day. Rick and I were supposed to have a date the night before, but he got caught in that horrible storm. Needless to say, he never made it home that night. He ended up staying at his parents house in Sandy after he realized Redwood Rd was closed and so was the point of the mountain. My Valentine did make it home on Valentines morning to wish me a happy one!!! Then he had to go to work until later that evening. The kids and I had a great day. We started the morning off right, with heart shaped pancakes. After schoool, the kids loved delivering valentines to friends around the neighborhood. It was so suspensful to see who caught us driving away and who never saw us at all! We even got chased by Zach and Austin! Then, we came home and made a gourmet heart shaped pizza (with pineapple for mom and Lindsie on one half), which we devoured in about 2 seconds. It actually tasted pretty good -- much to my surprise! Strawberry shortcake dessert cups were the perfect way to end the celebration!!! Lindsie and Harlee could hardly walk they were so full. I love my family. Lindsie, Troy, and Mallory are getting to be at such great ages -- I really enjoy being around them (most of the time). I sure hope they have fun childhood memories to remember in years to come.

It's a Potty Party!

Princess Mallory is getting closer to being independently potty trained! She still needs help wiping -- as you can see sometimes the toilet paper becomes a "tail" as Mallory would describe it.

We had one whole week without an accident so we partied at Jungle Jim's Playland! Mallory wanted to share this occasion with Emery, and they had a blast running from ride to ride.

Mallory and Emery crack me up. They have had such a great time growing up together. Emery calls Mallory "nanny." At first, it bothered Mallory and she would correct Emery, "no, my name is not Nanny, it's Mallory!" Now, she sometimes calls herself "Nanny." We love Emery!
