More February Fun!



I hate to bombard the blogging world with so many new posts; but when you only download pictures here and there- I have to play catch up!

So, Valentine's Day was terrific. It seemed like my kids were so kind and loving to each other ALL day! We made cookies, more cookies, attended a bake sale for a good cause, had a delicious dinner and just spent time together- napping, eating, and watching the Aggies lose to Boise State (dang!).


In other big news- Jordan learned to ride his bike- no training wheels! Yahoo for you, Jordie!





Yet another shot of Bobby- falling asleep wherever/whenever- the kid is related to his Dad:








And Julia in her Jazz sweatbands- what a cutie pie!

Ryan and I had a little "overnight getaway" Thursday night to Tucano's for dinner, The Jazz game (Thanks to Kirstie who entered his name in the office drawing) and to the Anniversary Inn (Thanks Landon and Darci!) So, here are my observations at the Jazz game:

1- The Guest Services guy down on the court looks just like Barry Manilow- makeup and all.
2- The lady on the first row has some serious bling: her ring is five or six carats at least.
3- Over on the first row- by the basket- the model for Layers swimsuits was attending the game with a cute hat on.
4- WAY too many people respond to that "clap your hands" song- like wind-up monkeys.
5- Still, WAY too many people go nuts to get a silly shirt or a stupid ball thrown at them!
6- The guy behind us was never told that it is disgusting to snort back the boogers and swallow them..
7- The signs that the Jazz bear has to hold up are way too heavy for him.
8- If you give the Jazz an insane amount of money; they will give you a free soda and small popcorn for FREE!
9- This all sounds way too negative- but I enjoy looking through a Ballet West Playbill more than the Jazz one that talks way too much about the over-rated Kyle Korver. He made two points, people, and missed several shots.
10- It WAS fun to go to a game-Do I have ADD? I'm not sure...


But on the topic of Anniversary Inn- I will spare you details- just enjoyed a nice big room with a huge tub, cheesecake, Sparkling cider, breakfast in bed, and watching Mamma Mia! It was delightful!

What cute kids and what a fun mom. We all know how much harder it is to actually make and decorate the cookies WITH them! But look how much fun they had. I loved the Jazz game notes - people watching is often more fun anyway!

You are such a cute mom, Amanda! Seriously, that first picture could be used as the cover of "The Most Beautiful Domestic Mother's". You are gorgeous!

That guy behind us was annoying me the whole time as well.. It was disgusting.

Awesome, Jordan on a 2 wheeler! I'll have to ask him about that when I pick up from preschool. I love all the pictures and the "catch up" on the blog!

I have ADHD too at any sports event. I'm more of a people watcher than a game watcher. Anniversary Inn- love it!
