Valentines Day 2012

This year Valentines Day will NOT go down in history for being the most romantic day for me but we did do something fun on the Saturday before Valentines Day.  

Corry and I for the 2nd year in a row have been invited to a fun Valentines Day Party at Brandon and Jessica Adams house. Last year we won "Couple Of The Year 2011". : ) Well the first part of February Jessica called me to ask if we would take a picture of ourselves with the trophy we won last year to go on the invitations this year. ; ) Well we have Sydney be our Photographer and this is what she came up with. Good news for this year as well........ We WON "Couple Of The Year 2012" as well. It's so funny how we win all the tini boppers. hee hee hee We do have something special going on.

Some of the games we have played......  All girls hide behind a big blanket, boys have to choose our feet, hands etc., have to hold a orange on our necks while doing an obstacle course, answer a million questions kind of like the Newly Wed Game, play a round on the Wii to see who gets the highest points.  And of course there is always lots of great food and treats. 

PineWood Derby

The awaited pinewood derby, didn't come soon enough for the boys. They were "reminding" Corry for weeks and they finally finished the task and their cars looked awesome. They both sketched up how they wanted to cut the wood and decided on the colors.

Getting the weight just right.

Jackson's detail work.

Dyan....."Mom I'm hungry"

I warm up two pieces of pizza. 

"Mom can I have a piece of toast with Jelly?"

"Mom can you make me a cheese quesadilla?"

"Mom can I also have a tuna fish sandwich?"

Let's see if he comes and asks me for anything else.

Bowling & GR82B8

Jackson and Dylan had so much fun on Monday with the scouts.  They were able to go bowling, Dylan scored 2nd place with 105 and Jackson did good with 77.   I'm so grateful for good scout leaders and all the time and effort they put into these cute boys.

Our first "Great to be 8" as a new Primary Presidency. It was so much fun. I love my secretary and counselors so much. They are awesome!

We all decided to bring a dozen cupcakes, well JuneTonumaipea my 1st counselor said "I'm bringing egg rolls we love to eat".. (She is Samoan).  ; ) Let me just tell you they were the biggest hit.  So don't always go by looks or want everything to be cute...... food is always good! (I made cute red yellow and blue (primary colors)  pom poms from the ceiling)

We had a VIP wall with all the VIP kids that will be getting baptized this year.  Brenda Watson my cute secretary did this one.  She also made very cute pillow cases with the help of our dear friend Michelle Monk.  I wish I would have taken a picture of them. 

I decided to make a cute banner.

Sara Nay our 2nd counselor made the most amazing cup cakes ever.  Filled with Recces Pieces. YUMMY!

Friends!

What would we do without our friends, decided to take pictures of some of the friends that come around everyday. Here are a few we love so much!

Christmas AFTER Christmas

We were able to get the kids home on December 31st, we missed them so much while they were at Mom#1's.  Were one big family again, yeah!

Dylan was so excited to open all his gifts.

Sydney

Skyler's face was priceless, he opened up his new phone and I was able to capture the moment.

Dylan got a metal detector, might as well be looking for gold when digging holes.

Sydney happy with her Kindle.

Skyler got his from his brother Nicholas. He loved it.

We went to Grandma and Grandpa Wright's
