Love

So, maybe when you think of Valentines day, your thoughts turn to hearts, candy, flowers, love...but what about the Monster Truck Show?  Well, that's what these boys decided to do for the afternoon and they had a great time.  They went with grandpa, and of course uncle Jake and Brady who drummed up the whole idea!  They came home with stories and were very excited so it was a successful day!  Sadly, Paige and I had to respectfully decline the invitation to go!

 

Here's all the lone girls without a date for Valentines, while the men were away!  We did have fun and really, there is nobody quite like a sister!  You can have no real plans and silly the afternoon away!  (of course mom has now transformed into being our sista too!) 

 

We ended with a nice "romantic" dinner for the family and a double hitter of movies.  I'm always nervous cooking for Layne's dad but Layne and I won his praise!  I was sad to see this fun day end!  I love you!  (you people know who you are!) JoJo

Kids!

Even though Zach's birthday is in September, he was able to celebrate today. He had forgotten about a gift card from Target and it's really been burning a hole in his pocket since he found it last week. He searched all the aisles and settled on a hovering remote control aircraft. Well, we got home and the tears weren't far behind. On it's third flight he let Paige take the controls - right into the wall- and broke off a wing. It still hovers inches off the floor and so after a bit of sadness, he's back to playing. (I could've told him he was choosing a dud, but who wants something stable, like a board game?)

Kyler did awesome on his first oral report ever! Mr. Milton S. Hershey was quite a guy, so if you'd like to know more, just ask Ky!
