Happy Valentine's Day! Grotto with friends

Louella's bouquet

Sweetheart flowers

Fran's box

Marjorie's box

For YW on Tuesday, night before Valentine's, my class babysat for 2 of the families in our class. One yw is the oldest of 8 (3 sets of twins) and this is her little brother. I didn't get a picture of his twin Novalee. They are both darling. I only got to hold Jackson while I supervised all the other kids and YW. It was a fun activity. 

Joe gave me these beautiful mini roses.

Sarah made this out of playdoh.

Heber made his box at school. And I couldn't do heart hair on him. :)

This is an old valentine from my Dad, I still have it in my closet.

This tiny painting is for a city contest we are entering this week.

I painted this for Marjorie.

I started subbing this week. On Thursday, my first day, I helped in a special needs kinder-1st class. The teacher I worked with ended up being the older sister of one of my Texas friends. Small world. I subbed Friday too in a Kindergarten in Payson. I really enjoyed both.

We bought gas for our lanterns. Love them! Not a good pic.

Yesterday Brian Pontius and Bill Hansen came down for a hike. Joe was supposed to go, but chickened out when I started talking about spikes, snow, and tights. Haha. Oh well, he said he'd go in the summer.

Grotto Falls

We had a really great time. Brian was officially deemed out of heart failure last December. He cannot get his heartrate over 150, so we took it slow. Glad they made the drive. 

A bridesmaid bouquet.

More flowers for Joe to enjoy for my birthday week! Love them!

 

We had a family dinner together on Valentine's Day, no pictures. It is fun to have us all together, I will enjoy it every chance we get!

More Sweetheart pictures of Lucy

Olivia Carroll, Alyce Archuleta, Audrey Overturn, Lea, Bailey Smith, Lucy

 Lucy gave me access to all the pictures and I liked a lot more than she posted. :)

Happy 18th Birthday Lucy!!!

 The dance fell on Lucy's 18th birthday so we mostly celebrated her today since we didn't see her at all yesterday, except coming and going throughout the day.

Jordan (Tyler's mom and my good friend) sent me this pic. Glad she got one!

I really love this picture. Lucy is beautiful. 

They took their pictures at a building in Provo and then ate at the Brick Oven before going to the dance.

Liv, Alyce, Lucy in the back. Audrey, Lea, and Bailey in front.

They went to Lea's grandma's after the dance and had cake and ice cream. Lucy had made a ton of frosting for Mary's cake so I used it up. Haha.

Brigham's sketch in church today.

We gave her a set of books online to read on the kindle app.

She chose Fajita bowls and Strawberry Shortcake for dinner today. Liv and Alyce came and ate with us. The food was So great and I made the best guacomole I have ever had! I just did what Joe told me too. Haha. He made steak, chicken, rice, beans, peppers and onions. 

We are having a happy Sabbath. Everyone is actually watching the Super bowl except me, the littles apparently talked about it a lot this week at school. I will probably go join them soon to spend some time with them. And I really like the Chief's coach. 

I am thankful for Lucy. I can't believe she is already 18. It is so hard to wrap my head around. I am excited for her, she has a bright future ahead. 

I went to substitute training this week. I will hopefully be able to start subbing soon. I also need to do all the wedding flowers this week. I am excited about them, they are fun.
