Gene, Leslie, and Tyson are getting ready to move to Colorado, so they came down for one last trip to see everyone and go the Disneyland (sorry more Disney pics). We had a balst spending time with them before their big move. We saw a bunch of characters and the kids got their faces painted. We love you guys and hope we see you soon.

Rylin's Finished Project
She was so excited

Rylin's pictures and sentences, it reads:
Above "Making Valentine's Card and Going to Church"
Below "Swimming in the Spa and Watching a Movie"
Rylin's fabulous pre-school teachers, Mrs. Hyatt and Mrs. Robinson, has the class doing this fun project, with the book Flat Stanley, they get to bring him home for a few days and do fun activities with him. Then she needs to draw a picture and write a sentence about the activities they do together. Rylin (actually all of us) had so much fun with this. We made Valentines, took him to church, we went swimming in the spa, and we took him to the movies to see The Tale of Desperaux. We had a great weekend with Flat Stanley and we took him back to school today for someone else to have fun with him.

Valentine's Breakfast



I had to work all weekend, so I wanted to squeeze in some Valentine's fun with the girls. I decorated around the table the night before so that would be done. Tyler and I got up early to get breakfast ready since I had to start cooking at 7:30. We made bacon and cut up strawberries and made heart shaped french toast. When the girls woke up and came out Rylin was so surprised and said "we are having a party" and Jordyn ran around yelling "I love my Balentine, I love my Balentine." We got them some socks and a little purse (courtesy of Target's 1 dollar bin). It was fun way and simple way to let the girls know we love them.

Making Valentines

Dying Macaroni
Coloring their cards

They are finished Jordyn was not interested in posing
On Friday we made some Valentine's Day Cards. We dyed some Macaroni red and the girls drew pictures and wrote on their cards. They loved making their cards and getting to show other people their love for them.

Breakfast in Bed Anyone?

My mom has been sick with a nasty cold, so this morning Rylin is playing and she comes and tells me that she made Nana Breakfast in bed. I said oh that is so sweet let me see it. She runs into the room (I think she is going to come back with a plate of fake waffles), but instead she comes back with her doll house bed a table on it and a pretend cake. I don't know if she has heard the expression breakfast in bed and this is how her sweet little mind interpreted it. . . literally a table in a bed. I asked where she came up with the idea she said she saw a commercial, so who knows. I don't know why cake, I guess it is the only food for the doll house that she has and it fit on the table. She just wanted to help her Nana feel better; what a cutie. After Rylin started this Jordyn wanted to join in and started to feed my Dad puzzle cookies.

Great Day

Every once in a while I have one of those days were it feels just about perfect. I had a day like this on Thursday. My children were seriously angels that day. They got along and listened well all day. Then in the afternoon I was doing something in the other room and they were so quiet usually that means trouble and I find them like this. I thought it was so cute. It love seeing moments like this. Don't worry they made up for it on Friday.
