Marchin on....

 Haha!  Isn't this picture great?!  Cordelle sent this to me at work one day when he had to wear his glasses for a week before he got LASIK.  This was a long time coming.  Cordelle has the worst vision of anyone I know.  And after saving from one random project to another, he finally has enough to do it.  I couldn't be happier for him.  I know people think that its just modern technology but to both of us, this is a miracle for Cordelle.  He has always been concerned about emergency situations and not having access to contacts or glasses.  It was such a cool opportunity for him.  Its been amazing. And he really hasn't taken any part of his new eyes for granted.

 Another surprise.  Seth inherited Cordelle's crossbite. We just assumed that he'd have to have braces for 4-6 years like Cordelle did.  But when we went into talk to the orthodontist, he said the problem would correct itself in 3-4 months with a retainer!!  Well that sounded way better (and cheaper) to us. So here is Seth in his new retainer!

 Back in December we went and had family home evening at an older couples home.  It was fun, but while the adults sat around the kids played with their linkin logs for a long time and had a hard time leaving them.  Well this couple went out and found our kids their own linkin logs and then were so excited to give it to them that we had to have them over again for FHE so that they could.  Who does that? How cool are they?  Jaq especially loved building her creations and was so grateful. 

 Cordelle can't escape me.  Even at work.  :)  Love.

 Cordelle looking intense.

 This was such a great night.  I was up north without the hubs or kids which like NEVER happens.  But my sister Tallie really wanted to go snowboarding and I had no reason not to.  She had the boards, boots, clothes everything so I went.  And it was so fun.  We were amateur at best and stayed mostly on the bunny hill but we rocked that bunny hill.  LOVE HER.

 Look.  My pants are falling down but I am up and going. :)

 Only this crazy with sisters!

 This picture is precious to me because Collin was sick, so I was just holding him and he fell asleep on me.  I didn't want to move, which is unlike me.  Mostly I am so quick to go and put them in to bed so I can get up and do something.  But there is something so precious about him, I couldn't help but just hold him.

 Date night with Jaq.  There was a super cute new version of Cinderella coming out and so Jaq and I had been planning our Girl Night for month.  It was a great movie and a fun night.

 The video's of this are priceless.  Cordelle was pretending to sleep and then would snore and wake up.  And Collin and Jaq were just laughing.  It was darling.  He is such a fun dad.

Oh the jars.  Tallie's sister in law was DI'ing hundreds of jars she used to sale.  So Tallie took a lot and I took like 20 boxes to see if I could sell and make some money for a class I really wanted to take.  Turns out i didn't sell too many. But I made some cute decor for my kitchen. :) blah.

Anyone want like 150 free glass cookie jars with interchangable lids?

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.  :)
