Happy LOVE Day

Valentine's Pictures for our Nana's, Papa's and Dad

We just got Ruthie's new duvet for her new big bed/guest bed. I have been eyeing this baby for weeks and Ryan found it on sale. Nice work. I have some pillow sewing to do now.

The funny thing is we have had the bed for 2 months and Ruthie insists on sleeping in Tate's room on her old twin. They love sharing a room, it is really cute how much they love each other.

New cousin Lincoln born on Abraham Lincoln's 200th B-day!

His onesie says "Future President"

We had a great Valentine's weekend. Friday day the kids and I went to a party at our neighbors house and decorated bags and handed out Valentines and had treats galore! That afternoon I took the kids to see new baby Lincoln. He was actually on the news Friday night for his whole naming coincidence. He came over 2 weeks early and they had already been calling him Lincoln for months! Friday night Ryan got a babysitter and we went out on a date to see a movie in a real movie theater not just a red box rental! Saturday was more work than play. We are in the peak mess (hopefully) of project paint the cabinets. Oh my, it is a disaster zone as you can see in the picture! Ryan's dad is flying up Wednesday for a week to help us lay wood flooring. Yes, these projects will over lap. Yes, we are a little bit crazy. Yes, we will be even crazier after a month of mess! It will all be worth it in the end right!? We did get a small break from paint fumes to go to the Draper Temple open house. It was beautiful and Ruthie absolutely loved all of the "sparklys".

Museum Mondays

Dad, don't let him get me!

The past 2 Mondays we have gone to a couple of great museums. Last week it was the Treehouse Museum in Ogden and this week it was the Museum of Ancient Life in Lehi. The kids had so much fun at both. It is way worth it to get out with little friends every once in a while. Especially when we are waiting and waiting for spring!
