Movie with the kids

On Friday, Feb. 10th, we took the kids to the movies.

Steven and Brooke went to their ward Valentine's Day party.

Broke was in charge of the food.  

(she is so glad that part is over)

We went and saw the movie, "Sing".  

It was so cute, I think everyone enjoyed it.  

I just love these cute little kids.

So glad they are mine forever!

Super Bowl Sunday

We had a Super Bowl Party on Sunday after church.

The kids went outside and built a snowman.

We ate good food and visited.

Kaylynn, Loran and Riley came too.

So fun to just relax and EAT!  

Vegas

On January 23, I flew to Las Vegas to stay with Matt,Kayla and little Elle.

Their babysitter had a baby and so I want to babysit.

That little Elle just warms my heart.  She has me hook, line and sinker.

I got to spend some quality time with her and I loved it.

It was so fun and nice to get out of the snow for a week. 

Matt and Kayla took me to the Olive Garden for my birthday.

I got dessert and they even sang Happy Birthday to me.

They also gave me a beautiful necklace.

I felt so special.

 This is how Elle says her prayers!

 This is Matt's dog, Major. 

He is adorable and such a good puppy.

Yup, I not only babysat, I puppy sat too!

 Matt took me out to Lake Las Vegas and we walked around and enjoyed the sights.

The weather was cool but beautiful.

 This is my little Elle in the 

nightgown I make and took to her.

We also went to the Bellagio and enjoyed the

"Chinese Year of the Rooster" display.

My birthday

Aunt Pat and I share birthdays.  We have for a long time.  ha ha!

We visited her a few days before her birthday because she isn't doing

very well.  I'm nervous about taking her out, she isn't very steady on

her feet.  So, a visit was needed.  Brooke and the kids, Wynn and I want

and took gifts and an ice cream treat and had out own little Party

with Aunt Pat.  

Aunt Pat has always been one of my favorite Aunts.  She has

always warmed my heart.  Although, it saddens my heart to think

she has no kids to share her life with.  I've always tried to help in 

that area and shared mine with her. 

On Sunday, before my birthday, we celebrated out at Steve

and Brookes after church.

We had yummy Lasagna, oatmeal cake & ice cream and

even presents.

The kids gave me a Yeti in my Spaghetti game.

It  is so cute and I love it!

So fun spending time with my kids, they are

my everything!  They made me feel so loved and they

always do.  Family is everything!!!!
