Happy Valentine's Day & Beyond!

Another Valentine's has come and gone, and it was another fun day.  I personally like Valentine's Day. 

The weekend before Clark attended District Band.  I had to snap some pictures of him.










That morning for Elden's Faith in God he planned a date with Lee and wanted Cal to go as well.  They went on a hike and did the Home Depot kid workshop.






Clark likes bringing home different instruments from high school.  This is a flugelhorn.  He also likes to go outside and play them on the porch for the whole neighborhood.


We sent some things to my brother Sheldon for his birthday and this is the note Elden wrote.  So sweet.


Grilled chicken in the winter is always yummy!


We've recently been on a renewed Harry Potter kick.  I saw this in the back of one of the books.  It was printed in Harrisonburg!!! Isn't that sooo cool?!


Our kids do dates with Lee and sometimes me about once a month.  In February Cal wanted cookie dough for his treat and to play a Star Wars game. Elden had a different game that night and also had the cookie dough.  It's fun to make with egg powder and eat it raw!


So I ordered a Michael Kors bag off of the internet.  The price seemed too good to be true.  It was.  The bag was a complete knock-off.  Totally obvious.  I was worried about getting my money back, but did!




To Valentine's Day!  Lee got me these beautiful flowers.  They came a few days before Valentine's Day so I enjoyed them for many days.


Clark often receives fun handouts from Seminary.  This is one of them...


Right before Valentine's Day we went to Lois' for a visit.


Luke is so cute!


Saturday night Clark read us a poem he had to write for Advanced Geometry.  It was pretty funny.


Sunday morning before church the kids made some cute Valentine boxes with the idea that they would write kind notes to people in their family and leave them in the box.












We headed to Darrell's for a surprise visit! Haley's clementine is cute!


Surprise!  We celebrated Stacie's birthday with her and told Joseph happy birthday as well.


And we got to see Serena again! Clark loves the babies.  It's so cute!






I love getting gifts from the kids.  Very sweet and cute!




Oh, one night I was on my way over to a Relief Society activity and brought soup with me to eat on the way.  I knocked my elbow wrong, and spilled soup everywhere.  Ugh.  Such a mess.


Lee leaves Valentine's for the kids every year.  My dad used to do the same and it's fun that Lee does it as well for our kids.


Valentine's morning we had a fun breakfast.  I enjoyed setting up some festive decorations.


A teacher gave me a yummy cookie and I asked her for the recipe.  She told me she got it off of the back of this bag and then gave me one!  So kind of her. 


Hope you had a fun Valentine's Day!
