happy {heart} day!

thank goodness for Pinterest this year!  We had so much fun making our own Valentines.  

I got Olivia and Ivy's idea from my very crafty friend jane!

I found the bug idea here.

they LOVED their valentines this year!  Boston wanted NO business in passing 

out Valentines, except one! haha  

I took Boston and his friend Jake the night before to pick out something for their valentines. 

Oh boy!

I made the kids a yummy French toast breakfast with strawberries and they

 got some yummy treats from mom and dad!  then off to school where i surprised them 

with a valentines lunch. 

I went to help out with the twins party, they made their own valentines bags and played a

few games, it was a bit exhausting!  then to top it off, i helped with the 6th grade 

party AFTER School.  It was their very first Valentines party with a bunch of

 Wii's set up in different rooms and then pizza, popcorn and soda.  

These kids had a blast!  sometimes 6th graders are a bit obnoxious, 

but luckily i had a diet coke so i was able to hang until 4! ha

cory and i had a valentines day Lunch at Cafe Rio and so we spent the evening 

hanging out with our sweeties eating some Papa Murphy's pizza and watching "Dolphin Tale."  

Cory made the kids strawberry daqueri's that were Delicious!

we love staying in on Valentines night, it's way to busy out there!

and the winner is...

 it's fun to see him love the sport so much.

16 years!

you know you are happily married and comfortable with your spouse when on your 

anniversary you would rather hang out at home and watch your fav dvr'd shows 

that you have been dying to watch! ha!

we had our anniversary on a friday and also 2 basketball games along with another 

one on saturday night at 9pm! Cory is coaching Boston's bantum bball team so 

we couldn't miss out on these games.

we decided to spend our "sweet sixteen" doing what we love best! spending it with our kids

and our ultimate fav burger joint!   we all love "Sammy's" and since it was early out

we grabbed the kids from school at noon and spent the afternoon together.

the best part about it, is we Loved it! this was one of our fav anniversaries... 

sometimes it's best just keepin it real!

"sammy's" is famous for their Pie shakes! My ultimate favorite is their pumpkin pie shake! 

 run don't walk to their new location in Pleasant Grove. 

Their hamburgers are TO DIE FOR!

Ivy dresses herself and this was probably one of my favorites of hers.  

performing on stage in her JB shirt! ha

Rick Robinson's "Move" show...

my little olivia danced with her company team at the Covey Center on saturday night in the

 Pre show for The VIBE!

I missed her dancing because i was with my sisters in california, but 

Cory was there to support our girl.

i heard the Show was ridiculously AMAZING!  

my niece witney was in a ton of the dances and olivia loved watching her.

Liv dances on a hip hop company team along with her jazz petities team.
