February

Dear snow,

I've had enough of you. I'm tired of shoveling the drive way, I'm tired of being stuck in the house,and would like to see the grass and yard before June! So just stay in the mountains and leave us alone. Please and thank you!

The ONLY good thing that came from the cold weather and being stuck inside was all the cleaning and organizing I got done! But now I'm so ready to welcome March and hopefully spring! As long and slow as January was February seemed to fly by. We did a few fun things and managed to keep ourselves busy.

We went down to Ogden one day to get out and meet up with some
good friends. Markelle, Jack, Miles, and Veronica and Asay.
We sure wish they lived closer.

He loves to climb and sit in this little box??

 

 

 

 

Valentines Day

We had a good Valentines Day this year. I was able to spend the day with Parx having a playdate, making some treats and taking them to friends and neighbors, and then that night we had a nice dinner with Dave and exchanged gifts.
Then after Parx's bed time Dave and I had our own fun. I tried to do a fun "love hunt" for Dave and even though he didn't get it and ruined  the clues it was fun and ended where it was supposed to.
Then on Saturday my parents were in town and gave us the chance to go out of the house to dinner and really have some alone time. Happy Valentines to most important guy in my life. I love you Dave and am so lucky to be married to you!!

the woman came from the mans rib.

Not from his feet to be walked on.

Not from his head to be superior,

but from the side to be equal.

Under the arm to be protected.

And next to the heart to be loved.

 

 

 

 

 

The first but I'm sure not the last

Last night I needed to run to the store so we packed up and pulled out of the drive way, and I thought I haven't gotten the mail today. I thought i'll just pull up and grab it so I don't have to step in the puddle and get wet. Well between the snow/slush I got stuck! So I had to step out into the puddle anyway and get the shovel out of the garage and dig out. While I was doing this (which wasn't 5 minutes) Parx was sitting in the car just being so good. But when I got back in I saw his eyes were running pretty bad and he kept putting his finger up his nose. Right then I knew what he had done! STUCK A PRETZEL UP  HIS NOSE. I pulled over and checked sure enough.... on each side there was a pretzel luckly I had twezzers in the car and was able to get one out,  but the other was really far up there. So instead of going to the store we had to make an after hours call to the office and go in to have it pulled out. By the time we got there it had gotten wet enough from the snot and slide down enough that between me and one of the nurses we got it and didnt have to have the Dr. come all the way in. I dont understand why so many kids do this but i'm grateful it wasn't any worse than it was. And am so grateful I know the right people that are so willing to help me out at 6 p.m. on a friday night.

January

January

I am one that believes January is the worst month of the year. I can not wait for it to be over this year. Logan has been freezing!! It was been record cold this year, with the most snow in a few or more years. Getting down to the negatives at night and most days single digits.... Like I said FREEZING.
So we have been trying to keep warm, stay busy and entertained until it unthaws and we go outside again.
And as a mom of a busy toddler that I have to keep busy and entertained while being inside all day I'm liking this month less everyday.
So we have tried to avoid climbing the walls by....

Playing on the Ipad
Watching t.v. and a lot of movies
Playing cars
(repeat the above daily)
Shoveled snow
Build forts
Playing on the slide inside:)
"Helped" grocery shop
Played at McDonald's a few times to help get all this build up energy out
And we even took a quick weekend trip to Vernal just to get a break and do something different. Where we had a popcorn party with grandma, saw the biggest snow man I have ever seen.
It was very impressive, played bingo, and just hung out with cousins.
