February

Game night this month got a little crazy...Braden gashed his head open.  Thanks to Heather for running home to grab the hospital glue and to nurse Brandon for applying it, oh and to Carrie for the lighting we didn't have to make an ER stop.  However, that glue remained in his hair for the next month.

 These boys sure love their daddy!! 

 February is a month full of birthdays in our family, starting with Brian's! Brian's first birthday request was to go to the temple, so my parents joined us for a session and then we headed to the cheesecake factory.  Best salad there!!! So pretty I had to take a photo.

We also enjoyed a game night with our friends the Anderson's and the Stucki's, thanks guys for making it a special weekend for him.  Somehow we missed photos on that one..but we had a mexi feast and as requested I made a lemon meringue pie. Love having such great friends!!

 Since my birthday is just 4 days later we didn't do any big party for me since we were heading out of town to Idaho for our dear friend Stephanie's wedding.  What a great weekend that was! However, just before the trip a good friend from church got me together with my friends for a little girl time!  Enjoyed some appetizers at Hop Jacks!  Thanks Julie, Becca, Brooke, and Becca!  

The boys got a few little valentine's goodies from us! We sure love you boys!!!

Braden's was a new angry birds blanket.

Brian got me some beautiful flowers and fun presents and I made us some lovely scallops! The next morning we boarded the plane, just the two of us! Thank you mom for watching the boys!!  First stop, lunch on temple square and the SLC temple for a live session.  We stayed with Brian's best buds Chris and Aimee.  Where I had a great evening talking to Aimee a night of conversation I will never forget! Wish you guys lived closer. Then we headed up to Idaho and stayed with his parents so we could be at the big event, love you Steph and Ken!!  Pretty much forgot the camera, who does that on vacation?!  We got one on our friend's camera so I will try and add that soon.  A few from my phone...

 OH and we ate at Radizio's of course!! Love me some Brazilian Grillin!

 This is a B for Braden!

 My birthday "cake" we had to stop at the Cocoa Bean while we were in Idaho!  Best cupcakes I have ever had, ever!!  

Emmitt learned to play peek a boo while we were gone so he was showing us on our ride back home.

Later in the month we celebrated my Grandpa's 71st birthday! And my mom surprised me with a cake too! Cheesecake just like she made for all my birthdays growing up!  Love you mom! She knows how important a real cake is to me on my birthday!

 28 with two sweet boys! This will be a great year!

 Cousin love.

 A little random February happenings...Emmitt's new favorite spot in the kitchen, right next to me when I am cooking.

 Chocolate pudding for breakfast...I am a great mom! Acutally I have no idea when he ate this but I am sure he would have liked that.

The month of love was sure a great one!
