Our simple Valentine's day

Friday was a lot of fun!

I got to spend the morning in Jordan's

class helping out with Valentine activities.

The kids are so much fun to be around and just love having you there.

After a couple hours in the classroom I stayed for lunch and recess too!

At recess Jordan and his friends played a game of run wild with a ball

and try to get it from one another. When they got bored with that they joined a game of basketball.

I went home for a few hours and then returned to his school

in time for them to open their valentines!

That night we dropped the kids with my mom.

We headed into Bellingham to do a little shopping.

Afterwards we got some dinner. We were going to go

see a movie but going home and cuddly up in bed to watch one

seemed way more appealing. So that is what we did. It was a

perfect evening together. Nothing fancy but I wouldn't have 

done it any other way.

We celebrated Valentines day with the kiddos tonight with yummy dinner, 

strawberry milkshakes, fresh baked cookies and hedbandz.

Jordan absolutely loved playing this game.

It was a really fun little family night.

 Looking forward to date night with Josh tomorrow night!!!

to the mountain

Winter is a hard season for me to find lots of joyous activities to do with the family.

Last year we took the kids sledding for the first time and it was a lot of fun.

It has become a new tradition for us to do or I would like it to be.

This past Saturday we finally made up to the mountain for an afternoon of sledding!

This year my brother and his family came along too.

We also brought up chili to eat afterwards.

There wasn't nearly as much snow as last year so there were a few sore bums

but other then that lots of fun!

January wrap up!

As you might have noticed I did not do a very good job at keeping up with blogging.

This month was busy and went as fast as every month seems to go!

I was with out my camera for the first few weeks while it got fixed. 

Here is a quick look at our month in pictures!

Josh has been coaching Jordan's basketball team for

the boys and girls club league. They practiced twice a week with a game 

also each week! Jordan is number 23!

Our Sundays have also been devoted to football!

We have been cheering the Seahawks on all season long!

We are so excited that they won the Superbowl!

Josh and Jordan are headed to the parade in Seattle tomorrow!

In between games on Sundays Josh and Jordan would 

go out into the alley for a little football fun!

Michelle got braces!

Jordan lost another tooth!

My days have been filled with lots kiddos including my adorable nephews!
