February Love

February has been flying by.

The Thursday before Valentines Day I volunteered in Kai's class at school for their big party. Kai was thrilled to have me there and it really was so fun to see it all first hand. If only he would always feel that way about being around his Mom. :) They had a puppet show for the whole school at the end and it was so cute to watch all these kids just belly laughing at the preschool humor. One of the puppets said something about underwear and I thought some of the kids were really going to fall out of their chairs laughing so hard. Kai even got picked to have the "brag bag" that day which is something that makes his week. (He later chose to bring his Christmas camera and a picture of him swimming.) We both had a lot of fun! They really had me working so I'm afraid I didn't get any pictures. This week he came home with this picture of George Washington that he made at school. He told me all about how George didn't brush his teeth well so they fell out and he had to get wooden ones. I think it was a story that really made an impact on Kai- he's been a flossing champ the last few days.



We had a great Valentines weekend. On Saturday monring Lance watched the kids while I went to the gym and a Baby Shower. We also got in Kai's swim lesson in the middle. Then that night we had a nice drive and yummy dinner up in Heber. Sunday we enjoyed actually getting to sit through Sunday School as Rori is officially in Nursery now. She fusses a bit when we first leave but then is a trooper the rest of the time. Her teachers say that she plays and likes the singing time, but she keeps a serious face the whole time just incase. :)That afternoon we all got in a nap- even Lance who is usually still going strong. That night we had dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Utah's so I dind't even have to cook.

But the best part of it all was the gift of time with Lance. He often still puts in a lot of work hours on Saturdays and holidays aren't really ever observed at his firm so it was a real treat to have a long weekend with him. He still went in to work in the VERY early hours of the morning on Monday but was home by mid morning to spend the day with us. We used the valuable time to make a productive trip to IKEA and the new In N Out Burger here. After naps we all went to the gym to work off the burgers. We are still loving the kids club at the gym! Amy and I tried another new class this week too- 24SET. It was tough but we really liked it.

In other news Rori had her 18 month check-up. She is in the 95% for height and 45% for weight. Same old story. She had a good report, but the doctor said she is still fighting that ear infection from a few weeks back. So another trip to the pharmacy and we are back on a different antbiotic. The first round of the ear infection Rori really told us about it the night before we took her in, but this time we had no clue.
