Valentine's Day

This year, for me, Valentine's was a bust.  I was preparing for a colonoscpoy and wasn't allowed to eat all day. Plus I had to drink this nasty stuff that made me sit in the bathroom all day and night.  But after it was all said and done I have to say having the actual colonoscopy is not a big deal, at all. I slept through the whole thing.  All save the reason I had to have the procedure for another post.

This year I decided we would make our own cards and I loved how they turned out. I saw this on a blog last year and a friend in Windsor actually did it with her own kids. Aren't they cute?

So we woke in the morning and I made the kids pink heart waffles (cut out with a cookie cutter) and then Ammon was off to school.  I spent the rest of the morning cleaning and drinking some nasty stuff.  When the boys got home from school we went and checked on our house and were excited to see they had poured the foundation!  Then I dropped Jody and the kids off at the YMCA and went grocery shopping.  I stopped by Papa Murphy's to pick up a heart shaped pizza but they were out! So we just got a regular cheese pizza.  It was so hard for me to smell it I wanted a piece very badly.  We had our Family Home Evening during dinner and then the kids had a scavenger hunt that Jody made up and of course prizes at the end.  Ammon and Cohen made each of us a at least five Valentine cards. My favorite was the one Ammon gave to Jody it said, To Dad, I love you. You are fun and silly.  Happy Valentines. Love Ammon"  It's true Jody is so fun and silly with the kids. He's a great dad.  Always taking them to play basketball or go sledding.

I took the younger three out for a little photo shoot last week. Cohen is hilarious to take pictures with because he either makes the "cheese" face or tries to act really cool. But I think I got some great ones of him!

We kind of missed out on the day as a couple but I think we'll just celebrate it on another day.
