Catch up

A few things that have happened the last few weeks:

1) Andrew's field trip to the fire station. He was pretty excited about it.

Here is Andrew watching the fire truck leave the station. He has his hand in "excited" mode.

2) Natalie's friend Nora came over to play. I had as much fun as they did...dressing up, playing with dolls. They were so cute. I LOVE having a girl!

3) On Saturday, Feb 9th, a family in our ward brought back a truckful of snow and dumped it in the park. The kids loved it.

Love that the moms are all enjoying the sun in the background.

Even though it was about 70 degrees out, James was prepared for the snow.

My kids loved playing in the snow, but I think when it came right down to it, eating it was better. Kind of gross.

4) I turned 34. I'm almost 40!! John made a great breakfast, went to lunch with fun friends. It was a nice day.

Helping make the cake.

Helping to open the gifts. Yes those are Christmas trees on the wrapping paper.

Helping to frost the cake.Really, can I ever get a picture of Andrew with his pants ON?

5) Happy Valentine's Day! We had a fun lunch at the Stratford's. This is the only picture I got of my kids in their V-day clothes. Dirty faces, crazy hair and crying babies.

Friends in Need

What would I do without all you amazing friends out there?! Last week especially--so many people have just quietly helped out with little things. It is always hard for me to take help, but I definitely needed some last week. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

"I'd like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me. I'd like to be the help that you've been always glad to be; I'd like to mean as much to you each minute of the day, as you have meant, old friend of mine, to me along the way."
