Happy Valentine's Day!

I am writing this bundled up in a blanket on the couch...yep you guessed it, still sick :( My sweet husband came home from school with a Dr. Pepper for me (probably not the best thing when you are sick but it tastes so good) and disappointed that he went to get the jogging stroller I wanted and it was sold out. He helped me get the kids down for a nap and since then has been cleaning our house. Right now he is down on his hands and knees (that is the way we do it around here) scrubbing our kitchen floor. What a sweet guy! A jogging stroller would have been nice but a Dr. Pepper and my husband cleaning my house while I do nothing...I can't think of a better Valentine's present. He is so good to me.

We have been hearing knocks at the door bringing Brady and Easton Valentine's surprises all day. It has been so fun! They love all their treats. We are so lucky to have such great friends.

What did your Valentine do for you today?

Happy Birthday Renee!

Happy Birthday Renee! We love you so much and we wish we were there to celebrate with you! Thank you for being a wonderful role model and friend. You are such a great mother and have the cutest kids ever! I am so lucky to have a sister I can talk to 10 times a day about absolutely nothing! I love you!

Feeding The Fish

The weather has turned so nice here the last few days. We decided we would take advantage of it and spend the afternoon outside. We went with the Johansen's and Geoff and Aleena to Lake Mead to feed the ducks/fishes. The boys were ready to walk right into the water and swim with the fish so we had to hold them the whole time. We were feeding the fish popcorn and Brady and Easton just kept eating it themselves instead of throwing in the water. It was so funny! The fish were huge and nasty though. Jeff Johansen kept getting them to gather around and swim on top of each other to fight for the food. It was so gross as you can tell from the pictures!After that we went and got some lunch and went to the park. I forgot to take pictures there but we had lots of fun sitting outside and throwing the football around. Brady and Easton were asleep the minute we got in the car and took a nice, long nap. I think we wore them out. It was a fun day though!

Swim Time!

The ModBe swimsuits are so stinkin' cute this year...I love them all! They have 20 tops total and a bunch of bottoms and skirts. I think I am going to do a party here in Vegas when I get back from Utah! I am so excited! Check them out and get ready for summer!

Mitt's Out

Too bad :( I wish that Mitt would have done better in Super Tuesday and was able to stay in the race. I just watched his speech where he suspended his campaign. It is going to be a very interesting general election. McCain versus Clinton?!?...I don't know if I will be voting this year.

Our Big Weekend...

My friend Rachel and I decided to do a kid swap so we could go on dates with our husbands. This weekend worked out perfect! They went out on Friday night and we went out tonight.

It was fun to have Annie at our house. She is so dang cute! At first she was a little shy but she warmed up after a while and played great with the boys. My kids of course were being crazy and Ryan was making them laugh so hard. This video is funny, Annie is watching from a distance a little unsure. Pause my music at the bottom to get the full effect of the boys laughing! Please excuse the boys outfits or the lack thereof.

We had a fun night tonight. It was so nice to be able to have a quiet dinner with my husband without our kids. (thanks again Mike and Rach) We went to Claim Jumper and it was so yummy! After dinner we went bowling at Sunset Station. Okay words cannot explain how bad I was. I have not been bowling for like 3 years and I was horrible. It was embarrasing. I think my final score was a 51. These pictures say it all. The first is of me realizing how bad I am. The second is of Ryan after a strike!
