Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day has come and gone and I'm just now getting around to posting pictures.  Things have been a little crazy busy around here with the usual family, work, school stuff but it's a good kind of busy.

I had so much fun doing homemade Valentine's last year that I decided to do them again this year.  Stryder's were the Star Wars ones and we just printed them from a site I found.  Soren's were the Koolaid drink packs with a little printed note taped on.  Shelby's were the most time intensive but I loved them.  I braided 19 friendship bracelets in a couple hours and we attached them to the little printed card.  Super cute and fun all around.

On Valentine's, it was also Moms and Muffins day at the kids' school.  This is an early morning picture of us before we headed out.  I also got to help out at both Shelby's and Soren's parties.  Ben and I didn't really do anything but luckily Saturday after dealing with a broken washing machine and a bad back, we got to spend a couple hours alone at home while my sister took the kids to play (thanks Katie).

This past weekend was also the second half of the Young Women's Book of Mormon sleepover.  I am so incredibly grateful that I got to be a part of it.  It was pretty amazing and such a huge testimony builder.  Not something I'll be forgetting anytime soon.
