Fabulous February!

 So we have this ridiculously comfortable blanket that Cordelle got from work and one morning I found Seth my touch-sensitive boy like this!  Ha!  I couldn't stop laughing.  He tried zipping it up in his onesie pajamas.  (P.S. why is he still wearing onesie pjs at 8 years old).
I got this letter from Seth one morning.  Is he not the sweetest boy ever?

 Sometimes you just have to make silly faces with Dad on his phone.

 Jaq colored and cut out her own mermaid fins.  Oh the red Ariel hair.

 I was gone one night and Cordelle had the kids, so of course a movie night was planned....and then overheard by some neighbor kids....so Cordelle invited them too.  I think the Ramsays kids had a great time joining in Dad time!


 Cordelle sent me this picture with the caption, "Just admit it, some dads just look hotter than most."  :)  They do though.  Well this one does!

 This is what happens when I fold and place his laundry in a nice basket, ready to take upstairs.



 I was in charge of a photo booth for Family Night.  It turned out pretty cute!

 Us at Family Night at the Elementary.

 This became a fad at our house for a solid week.  Its amazing how much fun kids can have with simple things like cups.


 Seth getting Student of the Month for responsibility (if I remember right).

Met my parents one day at the condo while they were visiting St. George for the Home Show.  Tallie and Jim were down too so we all met up for dinner....well, we thought they invited us to come down for dinner.  Turns out my parents were not all on the same page and had dinner plans so we drove all the way down to St. George and ended up having dinner with Tallie and Jim.  Haha! 

I love this picture! Jaq and Cordelle!

 Sometimes they really do like each other.

My little hugger.  He is so sweet and loves his big sister!

Hey! HEY! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!

For my birthday this year, Cordelle took all of us to St. George the Saturday before and handed me some money and let me go shopping!  What the what?!  I know! He had me drop off him and the kids at a park and told me to come back and pick them up when I was done!  It was so liberating and fun for me to shop for myself without kids.  I don't know why we've never done that before.  I was so grateful!  Meanwhile come to find out, the kids had a blast posing and videoing probably 20 videos of them doing various things at the park.  They couldn't have had a better time!  What a great dad and what a great husband.  I am truly blessed!
Some pictures from the park.
Collin made some friends....



And Seth enjoyed a good book...

But on my actual birthday....
My sweet girl Jaq made me a banner...
Cordelle's decorations!
Hummmm....how old am I again?

My sweet friend Krista made me this darling cake (above) and the most crafty giving woman in my ward made me this fabulous cake (below).  How awesome is that? Both were amazing!

Of course my good friend Angela couldn't pass by the opportunity to throw this one up without me knowing!  I am truly blessed with amazing friends!  All day long I got texts and small gifts.  I just felt so loved!  This is going to be a great year....I can feel it.  :)
