{Valentine's Weekend}

The Mr had to work this weekend....he had to work our anniversary too....and call me a sap, but I like to be with my husband on holidays....I mean come on especially if he's actually in the country it would be nice to spend them together. lol So Josh and Cathy came over for the weekend to visit. I'm really glad that we got to spend some time with them, and I really wanted to see Cathy all prego. :-) She looked amazing! :-) We really just hung out...played RockBand, ate some food, watched some movies....lol...the norm around here really. I truly am a homebody. lol I would so much rather curl up on the couch with a bag of popcorn and watch a movie than go...anywhere really...lol :-) So it was a great relaxing weekend for all of us. :-)

Uncle Josh & Mr T :-)

{Valentine's Day}

Potted Red Tulips.....This is what The Mr brought home Saturday....He worked this weekend, so it was nice when he walked in the door with flowers. :-D He told me that he got the potted ones so that I can keep them....but I truely don't have any where near a green thumb....so fingers crossed & we'll see. lol I am a lucky woman! :-D

I like to make pancakes for breakfast, especially on the weekends. I totally cheat and use pancake mix....but they are completely made with love. :-) I have these metal heart shapes with handles on them-I honestly don't know what they are actually for....but I thought it would be way cute to make heart shaped pancakes with them for Valentine's Day breakfast....I also used them to make heart shaped eggs for The Mr's breakfast. :-) They took a little longer, cuz I could only make two at a time lol but definately worth it. :-)

{Little Mr @ 11 Months}

New Words: Stop, (His Name)

Shakes head up & down

{Family Scriptures & Prayer}

My Book of Mormon Storybook as told and illustrated by Laura Lee Rostrom......this is a great book to get the younger ones to learn information about the Book of Mormon. We have been reading this in the evenings right before we have family prayer and send the boys to bed. It's been really nice teaching them and learning with them. :-) We all enjoy the way The Mr reads stories. I love watching them all curled up....

PS-I was on the phone with Amanda while The Mr was reading (I know, bad Mommy) & she MADE me take this picture of them cuz she thought it was so cute when I told her what we were doing. :-) Love you Amanda!!! Thank you for reminding me that I want to take pictures so that I can remember these wonderful memories. :-)

{Mr. Brightside}

Jealousy turning saints into the sea...turning through sick lullabies...chocking on your alibis...but it's just the price I pay destiny is calling me...

This is one of the songs that is on SingStar...and both boys wanted it on their mp3 players...and I caught The Mr and Mr E curled up on the couch singing this song together. :-)

{Masterpiece}

"This is how you make a masterpiece, Daddy...see?"

"Look at my masterpiece!!!"

We kept hearing Mr T talking about his masterpiece...and we thought it was SO cute that he was saying the word masterpiece...and we couldn't really place where he had picked it up from....so The Mr was talking to him while he was playing with his Leapster....and it says "you can make a masterpiece" or something really close to that. :-) So now we know where he got the word from. lol And he runs up to us and tells us to look at his masterpiece! lol

{Awkward}

Starting with Amanda....she LOVES the soap that we have in our downstairs bathroom...it's Irresistible Apple by Bath & Body Works...and everytime she washes her hands she says they smell so good she could eat them. So, Mr A washed his hands and asked me to smell them cuz they smell so good....and he says "I could eat them....weird.." and Mr E pipes in with, "That's not weird...it's awkward"

TOO FUNNY!!! :-)

{Brothers}

Mr A & Little Mr

{Bye-Bye}

After the stairs were all done Little Mr kept crawling up them. lol And I was asking him where he was going, and he would turn around, smile, and wave bye-bye to us. lol
Aren't his jammies too cute? They are so soft too! I got these at goodwill for 1.99!! And they look brand new!!! Love it! :-)

{My Stairs}

I don't know why....but I love shampooing my carpets. Maybe it's just that fresh, clean look and feeling. I really needed to get the stairs done though. I usually spot clean when something happens, but the past couple days must have been 'lets make a mess' days. So, I got out my Bissell Little Green....I love that thing!!! :-) And got to work! lol

Before
Vacuumed

Shampooed

ALL DONE!!! Aren't they pretty?!? :-)

{Fun Nails}

Just thought I'd show you how cute my nails turned out. lol I painted my toe nails to match too! :-) It's a shame you can't really see my ring.....I love it....it's a CTR ring, and it's so girly and pretty. The Mr got it for me when we took a visit with the boys to the Raleigh Temple, in North Carolina when he got back from his second tour. :-) He got a really cool one for himself too. :-)

{Tired Boy}

Mr T hasn't been going down for an actual nap for a while now......much to my dismay....but on the days that he's tired he'll just pass out in the evening. While I was cooking dinner I came into the living room for something and this is how I found him. :-) He'll be laughing, talking, and playing one min....and then he's quite and I find him passed out. lol He's so sweet curled up like that. I had to snap a picture. :-)

{Mmmmm....Good}

I was eating a yogurt, and Little Mr looked interested. Sometimes he is and sometimes he isn't. As cutely chubby this little boy is.....he's really picky about what he eats...especially if he can't feed it to himself. lol So I was sharing mine with him and he was leaning towards me to get more, and he says "Mmmmmm.....Good" lol CUTE!!!

{Wish Bone}

On Your Marks...Get Set...GO!!!
Hey! HE CHEATED!!!

Mr A with his 'winnings'

How do you cheat with a wish bone? This is a very good question....and leave it up to Mr A to be the one doing this! lol After they heard 'Go'.....Mr A reaches over with his thumb and breaks it so that his is the bigger one! Yupp.....I am not suprised that it was Mr A that thought of this! lol :-)

{Bad Guy Game}

Theron: I wanna play the Bad Guy Game down here.

This is said while he's already completely unplugged the gamecube and is dragging all of it down the stairs....well most of it.

The Mrs: I don't want you to play it down here....
Mr T: Peeze?? (please)
The Mrs: Well, you need the cable to plug it into the wall.
Mr T: Oh! Silly Peron (Theron)!
The Mrs: Lets go find it upstairs...

We go upstairs to get the cable...

The Mrs: Where is it at Mr T? Did you put it somewhere?
Mr T: Silly Mama...it's right here!

He is growing up so much. It is just cute the things he says and the way he says them. I am such a sucker for his peez :-)
