Valentines Day

For Valentines Day we didn't do too much. Brian and I made a steak and crab dinner and ate in. The kids were either working or at friends. It was nice just to spend some time alone together. Love ya Bri!. The day before Tyler and Jess brought Hunter over and we gave him his Valentine treat. Below this post, I posted a close up shot of the shovel, card's and pillow boxes I gave my kids. Hope everyone had a great day.

Grandma Day!

I have to say I am pretty lucky and fortunate. I get to spend one day a week with my Grandson Hunter. Since the moment I found out that Jess was pregnant I told her I wanted to be able to have a Grandma Day once a week. We have just started do this and I must say I LOVE IT! I look forward to this day each week and to be able to do nothing but play with him. I can't wait until it gets warmer so I can take him and do things outside. I know I am truly blessed to be able to have the time to do this.
Thanks Ty and Jess for allowing me such special moments that I wouldn't trade for the world. Here are some pictures of Hunter just being Hunter.
Hunter is the smartest kid. He tries so hard to be as big as everyone else is. Here he is trying to get himself some water. Thank goodness for locks.

He loves to play hide and seek. He's just checking to make sure Grandma is watching.

I love to just go in and sit by and watch him play with all his toys. He is such a curious boy.

We bought Hunter a tool bench for Christmas and he absolutely loves it. He now has big tools like dad.

He thinks he is really making things. Too cute!

Time Out

This last weekend I had the opportunity to go to Time Out with a couple of my great sister in laws Debbie Stevens and Brenda Westwood. I had a wonderful time and enjoyed spending time with just the girls. I have never been to a Time Out before but definitely would go again. As a matter of fact we talked about going again in Logan this next September and taking our daughters and daughter in-laws. Get ready girls. They had such great speakers and singers at the event. I came away with a renewed spirit and better attitude as I reflected on the things I truly do know. Thanks for the fun memories Debbie and Brenda! Let's plan on September for sure.

I'm Back

Did you ever think I was going to blog again?? Surprise I did. I am really going to try and do better. I am even going to post some of the reasons why I haven't been posting. Since July when Derek returned home from his mission, we took the family to Hawaii for a week and had an incredible time. Then with getting kids back to school, holidays and just everyday life of being a mom and grandma time just slipped by. I will try and get pictures posted soon. By the way Thanks Jess for changing my background. Luv ya.
