My Valentines

We had a great weekend and it was nice to have a minute with my valentine in the midst of tax season. He came home from working in the morning on Saturday with these three beauties. He said he got one for each of his valentines. It was cute and the girls were thrilled.
That afternoon we went to the BYU vs. Air Force game. BYU won by about 40 points but the best part was they scored over 80 points which meant a free piece of chocolate cake from Magelby's. Oh happy day! After the game we went and hung out at a few music stores and picked out some cd's (we're so old school). I couldn't remember the last time I'd been shopping in a store with my husband and no kids. It was so nice! We then went to Mimi's and had a yummy dinner. Thanks again to Grandma and Grandpa Miller for watching our kids for so long!

Here's a few of the cute valentine girls on valentines day. We were lucky enough to have one of Doug's siblings come in town for the weekend and we had dinner with them. It was so great! We didn't tell Sophia they were coming and she was ecstatic to see her cousins again. They had a blast playing together!

Valentine Boquet

We had a fun play date yesterday with a few of my college roomies. Lauren had all this fun valentine stuff for the kids to do as well as fun valentine decorations in her house that inspired me. I went to Michael's on my way home and picked up some fun stuff. I got a cute wooden heart wreath for $3 that I was pretty excited about. I also picked up a few boquets of roses for $1 and a little ceramic container for about $2. I came home and made this cute little thing with other stuff I had at home. It's fun because it can be a little rose topiary

Or just a boquet of roses.

Hooray for cute cheap crafts!

Here's a bonus picture for this post. This is the way my girls eat breakfast everyday. Forget trying to get them to eat at the table. They prefer to keep their bottoms warm by sitting on the heater vents (you can't really see the one Sophia is sitting on). This is seriously the first place they go to in the morning. Cracks me up.

Kitchen Helper

I was making meatballs yesterday and Sophia wanted to write down the recipe so she asked me what I was putting in it. After a little while I got tired of spelling everything for her so when I got to breadcrumbs, I handed her the can to copy it from. I looked at her list later and saw:

EGGS
BEEEEF
MILK
SOALT
PEPER
PROGRESSO

I thought I had done a good job of pointing out where "Bread Crumbs" was written. Apparently not. She totally cracks me up. That Progresso sure added some good flavor.

Lilly's ABC's

Here's Lilly saying a few of her letters. I particularly like what she calls the letter V.

Here's why she calls the letter V what she calls it. We sure love Rusty and Rosy's ABC's! I didn't realize she had it memorized until she sang the whole thing the other day.
