Valentines Day 2010

I have to say i just looove Valentines Day. Growing up my mom loved it too so we always made valentines and those great valentines boxes and cookies. We ate conversation heart cookies until we were sick and most important a very mysterious man named the "Valentines Man" left us goodies on the door step. I tried to make it special for the family too, just like my mom used to. We made cookies, had a little friend get together to decorate the cookies and passed out valentines. On Sunday I made a special dinner with sparkling cider (which the kids love) and of course our visitor came. He kinda spoiled the kids this year, but he seems to love them as much as I do.

We got an assignment...can you guess....to where?....

The time is getting close for us to move again. It is bittersweet, I have really learned to love it here. It is always the people that make it so great, and i have once again met some pretty fantastic people. How will I say good bye, I won't think of it now, but it is going to be tough. Not only have I found some wonderful friends but my kids have too. We have until this summer so I am going to live in the present and not the future until it is time to go.

Now the fun part, If you can't tell from the pictures we are going to Colorado Springs, I am so excited about it. I prayed so hard that we can be closer to family, and I felt my prayers were selfish to want something like that for myself. I am happy that Heavenly Father feels that it is right for us to move there too. 12 hours from home, seems like a dream. Cooper on hearing that we are going to Colorado asked if there was snow, and mountains and I said there was going to be alot. He quickly replied that he loves snow and sledding. He is a mountain boy just like his mommy! Liam yelled when he found out but I wasn't sure if it is because he yells all the time or if he was just that excited. Roxy can't wait to grow her fur back out, she is tired of her embarrassing haircuts we keep giving her.
Mostly I am so excited to be just 1.5 hours away from a temple. That is pretty close for us, and I can't wait to go.

Liam's Bathroom Sink Antics

This is my monkey and that is what we call him most of the time now. He is INSANE, he climbs on anything and everything. His climbing has progressed to scaling kitchen and bathroom cabinets when a stool or other means can't be found.

My little climber is always getting himself in trouble. Yesterday I caught him hanging from a bathroom drawer. It would have been great to get a picture of that, but of course he just wouldn't keep holding on for me:) I love this naughty little monkey!

Oh Tootles...

We let Cooper invite 2 friends to go bowling for his birthday. He really wanted a big party at home with all his friends and a pinata (apparently pinatas, goody bags and pizza are a must for all kids parties), but we had just gotten back from our trip to Utah. In the end I don't think he remembered that he wanted a big party and was pretty happy with his overall birthday. I made him a very chocolate mickey mouse cake. The boy loves chocolate, and he and his friends got to bowl and eat pizza. Fun was had by all!
