HAPPY VALENTINES!!

Happy late Valentines!! Here are some pics of our Valentines day

PLEASANT SURPRISE

My hubby surprised me and took me to Albuquerque this past weekend. (so sweet of him!) He lined up a sitter for the kids (thanks Chelsey) and away we went. We were a tad dissapointed that the temple was a no go (closed bc of Stake Conference)-but the rest of the weekend was awesome..He surprised me by taking me to the broadway play "Wicked"-It was soo cute! I've always wanted to see it and I loved it..He also lined up a sweethearts massage package that felt amazing....(this was only the 2nd massage I've ever had- and I swore I would never want one-but they are heavenly and I ate my words!) Anyway-it was great to be together and not have to worry about the kids-I felt like we were dating again. I love the fact he took the initiative to do it and it was just what I needed at this time in my life...Thanks again Perry!-And thanks Albuquerque for no car robbings either-at least this time I came home WITH my purse...

HAPPY GROUNDHOGS DAY!

The groundhog did NOT see his shadow today so its going to be an early spring! Yeah!! (With the freezing temperatures here and all the snow in the east it doesn't look too promising) I am all too sick of winter already. We have been remodeling our bathroom (a much bigger project than expected). I feel like I have been stuck in the house for a couple weeks to be here for the electrician guy or tile guy or plumber guy...blah blah blah-I am sick of it and just want my bathroom back. In spite of being stuck inside- the kids have still managed to entertain themselves. Even though at times they fight like cats and dogs I know they really do love each other... I love that they are starting to play more together the older Cache gets. The other day he was holding his arms up for Logan to hold him and she bent down and hugged him and it melted my heart. Anyway, heres to hoping summer comes early and wishing we were at some exotic beach like here... or hereEnjoying one of these (virgin of course) Until then...I guess we will just have to imagine...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOGAN

My little girl turned three this past week!! Can't believe it! Anyway-we had a little party for her with family. (my parents and sister and niece were even able to come!!) Anyway-here are some pics of her party.
She wanted a princess party-so my mom and I made her a castle cake-was kind of a nightmare at first-but if turned out ok-not quite how we imagined though.

She loved opening presents.

She got a lot of "princess" presents.

The kids enjoying little nibbles off the cake..

She loved her new kitchen she got. Dad finally got it together and she has been playing with it ever since.

Things about Logan at 3

-loves being in sunbeams

-loves dance class-we are still working on getting her to do the "dance" part

-princesses are definitely her favorite thing.

-loves playing "make believe" I always overhear her talking to herself telling stories

-Very independent-likes to do it herself-getting dressed, putting on shoes etc.(this is fine-unless we are in a hurry to go somewhere-then its just annoying)

-keeps us laughing-tells Perry to stop "snarling" (snoring) also asked grandma to help her put on her bra the other day-by bra she meant kitchen apron.

-likes to please her parents and feels very bad if she gets in trouble.

-loves to learn and has a very good memory. (holds me to promises I have made her when I think she will forget. )

-Is very good at talking and articulating herself-although she is shy and won't talk much around other people-especially those she doesn't know well.

-Loves cuddles at night before bed. She always asks "Who will cuddle me?"

-says prayers by herself

I love this girl!! Happy birthday Logan!

DOING IT ON HER OWN TIME

I put Logan in tap and ballet and took her for the second time to dance class today. Once again like last week she stood in her spot on the floor and looked at everyone else dance. Then she came home and did all the steps perfectly for me....frustrating..oh well..I'm hoping next week she actually dances instead of looks at everyone. She loves it and is so excited about going to dance-it kills me she won't do it when she gets there..I guess she will do it on her own time-(hopefully next week)
