Valentine's Day

We were so lucky to have so many loved ones near us for Valentine's day! Joel's brother's family was here, my sister's family then came too. I made sugar cookies and had all the kids frost and decorate valentine's day cookies with sprinkles. They had a blast! Then we decorated a big valentine's banner with a bunch of stickers (don't have a picture of that though)

Feb 2010

We went to Jelly Belly with Joel's brother and family. We had so much fun with them when they came to visit!

Update Pictures!

I am the musical director at the local catholic school, and we put on School House Rock Jr. in February. They tricked Joel and told him they needed help lifting heavy things behind stage, instead they gave him a wig and he was a "founding father" He was a really good sport!

Katelyn got to be a dancer in the play. She had a lot of fun, and she loved the experience!

Our fun cousins came to visit, and we loved spending lots of time with them. Cami and Katelyn are the best of friends!

With our cousins at Kids Gone Wild.

Joel's birthday. He went to a LDS bookstore and bought tons of new books and such, so on his actual birthday all he had to open was hair cutting clippers!

We celebrated Joel's birthday with his grandpa. He always treats us so great on our birthdays and gets us delicious cakes!

I have hundreds of pictures to go through. That's what happens when your camera dies and then your computer dies. So many more pictures to come!

Just because

I was on my parent's computer and saw this adorable picture, so I had to share. Man he was a cute baby.

Sneaky 2-year old moment

Ben woke up and got out of bed. He sees a bag of little packages of M&Ms next to my bed. He gives me a bag and says, "Here you go, Chocolate for Mama" After I say, "Thank You" he grabs a bag of chocolate for himself and says, "Chocolate for baby?"
Of course. How could I say no?

Chores

I just thought that I would come back and tell you it has been almost a month and the house is still pretty decent. The kids are really sticking with this chore chart thing! Now it's my turn to go throughout the house and throw away a bunch of junk. It's crazy how much you can accumulate!

New Camera!

We finally bought a new camera. A nice little cheap digital camera. It was WAY cheaper than our last camera we bought 5 years ago and WAY better. Funny how fast technology moves.

Now we need to get our computer fixed so I can upload pictures from the camera. I guess I could upload onto my dad's old computer. We'll see.
