Cousins Go To Children's Museum

On Saturday we took our two "Young" (a pun because their last

name is Young ) -niece and nephew-Lucy and Zeke, 

to the Children's Museum. Of course it was lots of fun!

A dream come true for any kid (and parent haha)

 because you can touch everything!

Family Was Here!

The family arrived last Monday evening and we had a yummy barbecue chicken dinner and then went off to church. Our Dad, Pastor Rob, preached an amazing message on coveting. He continued talking about it for the next few messages at church, too. It was so good!

Tuesday morning we went up to the mountain to ski and snowboard.

Two Cute Cousins

Lovely Lucy...I was able to help her go down the bunny hill on skis. I did what Jessy did-put her between my legs and held her as tight as I could. I think she had a great time, and I did too. It was special Auntie Kathy & Lucy time :)

The next day we decided to rest! Pancake breakfast for everyone!

Check it out...we used THREE griddles to cook the pancakes

Nurse Jessy found 2 blackheads in Marcus' ear and went to work...

I think Marcus was a little nervous. Thanks for taking care of us, Aunt Jessy!

Thursday was another day of skiing...

Zeke was all tuckered out from skiing &
fell asleep at the table in the lodge after lunch

What an amazing group of guys!

Valentine's Day 2013

Yesterday was a wonderful Valentine's Day. 

It began the night before, on Wednesday night, when the kids made Valentine's cookies for us in class at church and homemade cards. Aren't they cute? They wrote such sweet things to us. I felt the love and put them on our kitchen table.

I think what made Valentine's Day so great was that Josh was able

to come home in the morning from work and be with us the 

whole day. Nothing makes me and the kids happier 

than having Daddy at home!

He brought home a sweet candy bouquet, card and gift for Allie.

He spoiled me and gave me beautiful roses, candy, a smoothie, a

stack of conversation cards, and a poem he wrote me.

I'm going to have the poem framed and

hung in our bedroom. It is amazing!

Then, he went to work in the kitchen making

pink Valentine's Day heart pancakes for us.

The kids were so happy to get Valentine cards in the mail from all their grandpas and grandmas. The kids love getting mail . It made their day.

Later on, Zack blessed us and watched the kids so we could go out to dinner. Josh took me to this incredible Greek restaurant that I've been anxious to try. It was so good.

I loved it and can't wait to go back again.
