Valentine's Day

We started the weekend before in making presents for our friends. We made homemade crayons... Lip gloss....

Lucy decorated the tops of the lip glosses.


We then packaged them with Fruit by the Foot (her favorite ) and a Spongebob Valentine Card.


She made them for her friends in her Sunday school class, her preschool friends, her friends at dance, and her church friends at the park. Lots of social groups she has!

Then the night before Valentine's Day we went out while Lynda watched the kiddos. I had class on the real Valentine's night so this was perfect!

Dropping the kids off at Lynda's.....
We did it nice! Troy suprised me with the Charthouse! It was SO delish!
We then went bowling!

When we came home that night Lynda had brought the kids to our house and decorated our house!


They even made cookies!
They made their own frames ....
She got pictures developed and put them in the frames.



The next morning I got them donuts and left them for when they all woke up. ( My Valentine's tradition 2nd year in a row )
Valentine's Day Lucy went to preschool and then went to a church get together Valentine party at the park. Busy day for dad but he loved it! Here is Lucy with her friend Emma.

We can't forget about Stetson ! Here he is stuffing his mouth with candy!


This Valentine's was the best yet!

Valentine's Day

Getting ready for Valentine's Day by filling out ALL her Valentine cards. ( well scribbling on each one and putting the lollipop in )

Troy took the kids to a Valentine party that girls in our ward threw, they had a ton of fun. I asked him to get some pictures and I think he did a good job :) I rarely take the camera with us anywhere anymore for fear we are going to lose it! ( hence the lack of pictures )

Here Lucy is putting Valentine's in all her friends bags.

Troy even took the kids to Target that morning and got them something with red or pink to wear. ( do I have a good husband or what?)

They even had a ton of fun as brother and sister at the park :)

Well.....maybe.....haha

Most of the kids.....:) There were a lot!

Here is Valentine Morning ( so these pictures go before the party pictures )

Here is Stetson's present....

And Lucy's....I even went to the donut store that morning and brought back Valentine decorated donuts! Lucy was in LOVE!

And here are Troy and Stetson playing with the cars....notice the one on Stetson's head?

We had a great day!

Valentine's Day

A little late like usual. This was our Valentine's Day. In the morning we ....

made pancakes and eggs...

Then we took a trip to Home Depot to buy strawberry plants for our new strawberry planter. We ended up getting strawberry plants, tomato plants, and a little flower for Lucy to plant. Here is Lucy planting her flower.

Here is Troy stuffing the planter with our plants. We are suckers for the little gadgets like these. This somehow makes wonderful plants because of the way that the plants get to hang. We will see!

Then my mom came over to watch Lucy and Troy and I went to Outback ( thanks to a family in my class, for Christmas they got us a giftcard and we saved it until Valentines Day)

We also used a gift card we had to Joanne's and got a TON of fabric for Stetson's quilt. We got so much that I am going to be able to make a ton of things with the material other than the quilt. Bibs, receiving blankets, gifts for friends, burp cloths! I told you, A TON! We aren't that good at measuring.

It was super fun and CHEAP!
