Valentine's Day, Monster Trucks, Movies & More

Happy Valentine's Day!! What a great day; I owe a HUGE thanks to my sweeter than ever sister-in-law, Wendy. First, she and Todd bought tickets for my two boys (Jared and Jordan) to see the Monster Jam on Saturday. Jordan has been counting down the days on his calendar since Christmas - so Feb. 14th was a big day for him. And even better, Mike and Jack Henry went, too. And Wendy was so sweet, she even watched our little monkeys while we went out for dinner on V-Day, and at 11:00 PM my kids were still running around and did not want to leave Aunt "Wee's" house. What an angel...

Jared and I had such a great night out; we went to this cozy little place up in Deer Valley called Fireside Dining. I loved this place; each course was served right from one of their fireplaces and it just felt cozy and romantic. Ahhh... Perfect.

Jordan's friend, Dane, joined us for breakfast and the boys all had pink and blue pancakes. Dane just lives a few doors down and so he's always welcome to come over and play (in PJ's and all); we love having him around.

All of the fun and excitement = a very tired little boy.
Since Bolt was such a hit with our kids, Tiffany and I took the kids to see Bolt again at the Dollar movies. Jordan was glued the entire time.. and Austin sat through the entire movie (that's a first!) These kids were just too cute; after the movie they got a little snuggly and they were giving each other hugs.
Jordan, Corbin, and Sammy - aren't these kids adorable?

Jackson Machon came over to play a few nights ago and these boys had so much fun chasing each other around with their little pop-guns, watching movies, and making dinosaur sugar cookies. Wouldn't it be fun to be a kid again??

So that's what we've been up to this past week or so. Our mission for this next week is to rearrange the kids' rooms so we can have a place for this new little boy once he arrives (in just about 4 more months... the clock is ticking). So that means moving Jordan down the hall (and a new bed/bedding, paint on the walls, etc. etc.) and moving Austin out of the nursery, and making room for their baby brother. We just put our back seat in the SUV for the first time since we never had a need for it before, so Jordan's trying out the back seat.
I'm really excited about this new little boy (we all are). Jordan likes to tell everyone about his baby brother in mommy's tummy and how we'll have 6 families: Daddy, Mommy, Jordan, Austin, our baby brother, and Indy. Can't leave out the cat, right? So six it is.
