Some MORE Valentine's Happiness

 We had pancakes for breakfast.

Made LOTS of forts.

 Finished our fancy cake we covered in sprinkles.

(Don't tell the kids but I only had 4 ounces of normal cream cheese for the frosting so I added in 2 ounces of cream cheese with chives, BUT with all that butter and powdered sugar and SPRINKLES they didn't notice and kept telling me how good it was and then that made me feel bad that their cake had ONIONS in it!  little green onions that thankfully the sprinkles covered up)

 One of the blankets had a hole in it so it made the PERFECT fort WINDOW!

 While they were napping I cut out TONS of hearts for them to color and make Valentine's for each other.  It was a hit!

 THEN Daddy came home from law school (calling first hoping the kids were still up) to surprise the girls with gifts from him (flowers) and gifts from the boys (candy).

 He's setting the bar high for those BYU boys (yes I'm brainwashing my kids to go to BYU).

 Aimi Lark's reaction to getting her OWN flowers was darling, so sweet and precious.  

 Opening the box of chocolates from the boys took forever!

 This man of mine, love him.  

“I am satisfied that happiness in marriage is not so much a matter of romance as it is an anxious concern for the comfort and well-being of one’s companion. Any man who will make his wife’s comfort his first concern will stay in love with her throughout their lives and through the eternity yet to come” (Gordon B Hinckley, married 67 years)

 He somehow pulls off the romantical and the concern for my well being.  

When I get hurt he tells me "you're not made our of steel."

When I am sick he takes the kids on an outing and tells me to rest.

When I am sad he holds me.

When I am overwhelmed he lightens my burdens in any way he can.

When I am upset, he just lets me vent.

He says I made him this way but I know that he and I have grown together for the last 9 years.

I love my job as a wife and as a mother, I am able to be here for him just as he is for me.  

I think we make a great team!

 Look at this cute card my friend Katie made for Aimi Lark (pretend there is a real sucker in her hand she's holding out).  We sadly didn't hand these cute ones out but she did pass out some old-school basic ones her Daddy got on clearance last year after V-Day.

Until next year y'all...
