Fiora's birthday and February

Fiora turned 7 on Saturday. We had a great day. I feel it was a tender mercy of the Lord that her birthday was on Saturday so I didn't have any school or church calling conflicts the entire day. We had our traditional birthday breakfast and presents from mom and dad. Then we made the house fun for the birthday party with her friends. Then we took the kids to Macaroni grill, and Fiora got a cake and sung Happy Birthday to in Italian. Then we went bowling and I beat Jared the second game! Fiora had a great day. We had a dinner witht he Barretts on Sunday and went to Gunnison on Monday for presidents day. So we got to see a lot of family too.




Jared was so generous this year. He bought balloons and everything. He let us use his ice fishing pole for the Fishing Booth, and he filmed the kids racing around the house for the treasure hunt. He let me buy a cake and lots of food for the dinner we hosted on Sunday. He took us to a nice restaurant and bought two games of bowling not just one. (That sure is expensive, to take your family of 5 to a restaurant and bowling, good thing we had gift card and coupons.) He really loves his Fiora and wanted to make her day special. He kept telling me how glad he was I was putting so much effort into her birthday. I love my valentine.







Jared and I served the family Skyscraper Sandwiches for dinner. They turned out pretty good, but that was a lot of work in the kitchen. My family is worth it though. Again, Jared turned out to be a lot of help in doing all that.



As for the rest of February, I remember Weston and Jared playing ping-pong with a soccer ball in my living room and the kids watching too much "iCarly" but other than that it is a blur. Savanna lost an eye-tooth. The kids got a lot of candy for Valentines day. I'm really just in shock the month is halfway over.
