Making Valentines!






I'm not big on buying the stupid cheap Valentines from the store, I like the kids to have something unique to give to thier friends...So for a few years now I just let the kids cut out different shapes with stencils and put stickers on them and tape a candy on them...they turn out really cute and they have fun making them! Clayton did a special one just the girl he likes:)

The Aprons I made!


I have been wanting to make myself an apron for a while now, and it's just been on the bottom of my list of things to accomplish...But yesterday I got the motivation and spend half the day making them. I got the pattern from one of my mother in laws aprons. It was fun and now I'll have a cute apron to wear while i'm cooking! I've been wearing a christmas apron all year:) I made one for Erin too..It's suppose to be a suprise, because it's for valentines day. I hope he doesn't find out! I don't think I'm done with it yet, I'm going to add a pocket in the front and some buttons by the neck straps! But I think it turned out manly enough....what do you think? Erin is actually a pretty good cook, he's the breakfast maker on weekends when he's home. He also does all the grilling, I hope he likes it!

My lost wedding ring & My new ring!!!


Over a week ago I lost my wedding ring, I have been devistated....I tore the house apart looking for my ring to no avail. For me it's not one of those things that can be replaced, it's the special ring that my husband put on my finger on our wedding day! But getting my new ring has been a relieve and comfort...something Erin and I picked out together. Erin and I decided on an opal ring, it's my birthday stone, October and the month we were married as well....It's Erin gift to me for Valentines day, It's Gorgeous!

The Living Planet Aquarium & Spending time with Family!


Of Course the frogs were Brenden's favorite thing about the aquarium!


The sharks were cool, but it took me a while to get a decent shot of them!


He did enjoy himselve, I promise:)

They had a little play area for the kids, they enjoyed that!

Brenden was the only one brave enough to touch the rays!

Clayton enjoyed seeing Nemo and Dora!


The Octopus was probably the coolest part for me, I was in awe of it!


The Jelly fish were really neat as well and fun to watch!


This eel was really cool!






We went up north this last weekend, we got our tax returns and decided to do something fun. On friday we went to the Living Planet Aquarium with this kids, that was really neat and they had alot of fun. We stayed at my Dad & Jane's house in Layton, and it was great to be able to spend sometime with them and they kids love every minute of it....Saturday Clayton and Brenden got to spend some time with Uncle Scott and Grandma Jane and had fun going to a Basketball game, while Alaina and Mackay went to Logan with Mom and Dad to do some shopping....I was able to See my Sister Cindy, we went to Costa Vida for lunch, so Yummy! Alaina got to see her cousin Autumn, they are so cute together and have so much fun together! Then Me, Cindy and the girls were able to do some shopping together....with Cindy being pregnant it's fun to be able to buy maternity and baby clothes again, she's so cute! Later Saturday night we were able to all get together, hang out and sorta have a pizza party for Jeff's Birthday, It's really neat for me to be able to spend time with my family, expectually with us living so far away from all of them...we don't get to see much of them anymore! Sunday we spent most of the day driving home, We stopped to have lunch in Provo and bought a few fish at petsmart.
