February Love

 Jordan's 23rd Birthday

Every year on the kids' birthdays I look through their baby books.  I remember this little baby so well, yet it's hard to believe this is the same Jordan.  Crazy how it feels like a lifetime ago, yet just yesterday all at once.  

Her cake turned out a little more "Valentine's" than I planned, but it was still delicious.

We tried a new Taplas restaurant for dinner that wasn't great, but we had a great time and I'm glad we tried it. 

Super Bowl Party

Jordan and Mikel came over to watch the super bowl with us, so we made a bunch of yummy food.  It was an intense game, but luckily the Chiefs managed to win in overtime (and we got to see Taylor Swift in the crowd)!

Valentine's Day

I have been feeling a little down about only having one kid at home, so I decided to do a little extra for Summer for Valentine's day this year.  I left her a little gift each day (she called them "bed gifts") of the month leading up to the 14th.  Then on Valentine's Day I did a little scavenger hunt leading her to her gifts.  She was so excited.  We may have to do it again next year.

My sweet ministering sister (Sis. Fife) brought me this cute little rose bush for Valentine's Day (and put a little flag in since I got my citizenship the day before).  It was extra special because I had just read in my journal from when I was 8 years old that my grandma had brought me a tiny rose bush for my birthday:)

And of course my "real" valentine:)  Here's us a BYU where it all began.  My dad insisted on doing a photo shoot on campus and at the temple in Provo.  None of the pictures turned out great (I was barely pregnant and not feeling well), but I am grateful we have them.

 Flowers from Mike:)

Thanks goodness for February, jammed between January and March, to keep me going;)
