~Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!

We had to do the heart hair do again this year.  One day

she will tell me she is to old for it so until then I will

take advantage of today.
I found a new recipe for a Cherry Chocolate pie, it

turned out pretty good, but not a keeper for us.

The girls enjoyed today with a school dance and

friends over for the nights so we will celebrate

tomorrow night with a movie and dinner.

~Valentine's Flowers~

Ward came home from work with these beautiful flowers for me and little gifts for the girls as well. It is always to sweet to receive gifts from the one I love. I love that he remembers every year how much I love yellow roses, and not chocolate. The girls are always excited to think they too are daddy's little Valentine's!!!

~Valentine's Day Fun~

What a really great day, not only because it is Valentine's Day but because my parents were still in town from Jolene's baptism. Both of the girls had the same lunch time so we were able to take them both out of school to go to lunch with my parents. Jolene and Pop Pop wanted chicken so off we went to KFC. It was fun visiting, eating and laughing for the time we had together. After we took them back to school we had some time before we went in to help with Jolene's Valentine's Day party. It was fun to have my parents there with us. They were able to meet Jolene's teacher and several of her friends. It was fun watching my dad tease the girls that sat by Jolene, and help with the cookies.

What a great memory that was made today.

It is sad to think they are leaving tomorrow. It was great having them at one of my kids school parties, having them here to see Raychel dance on pointe shoes, see Jolene at gymnastics, go to Aspen to see Ward's job and all he is up to for our family.

~Heart Attack~

I love Valentine's Day!!!!

I don't need a day to tell my loved ones how much I love them and they don't need one either, but it sure is fun doing something extra special and surprising them on this day. I spent a good portion of the morning tracing, cutting and decorating hearts to decorate closet doors in the girls room. I wrote on the hearts things that reminded me of them or how I felt about them. They turned out really cute taped all over their doors. It will be fun to see their faces when they come home and see the love.

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day usually means

flowers,

jewelry,

and candy

to most women,

but to me this year it was paint!!

I LOVE to paint my house. I have painted

every room in our house and then wait a few months

and start again!

This time it was the laundry room. It needed some

cheering up!!

I LOVE yellow and decided the room needed

to be yellow and then freshened up the white trim.

I now don't mind doing the laundry so much.

It's the happy, sunny, cheery room!

And of course my Valentine gave me

flowers!!
