Febraury Happenings

 Now that our kids are getting a little older, Family Home Evening has become a much more enjoyable event in our house. Each person can participate in some way, which helps them get excited about FHE. This particular night, Kinley was in charge of picking and leading our song. She, of course, picked "I am a Child of God". Kinley wasn't leading the music the way Shiloh wanted her to, so she got up and helped her out with this task.

 

 Let me just say that Jeff is a much more devoted parent than I am. Cooper needed to make a Valentine box for his school party, so Jeff sat down with him one night and weaved purple and pink construction paper and glued it to a shoe box. About half way through he was regretting choosing this method, but he got through it without complaining. If this were me? I would have complained and probably thrown a few things. Truth be told!

 We were lucky to see Jeff's cousin, Stefoni for a few minutes one evening while we were visiting Jeff's Grandma Borders. Stefoni is pregnant with her first little one. Kinley loves babies and loves stuffing animals in her shirt and says she has a baby. After seeing Stefoni, Kinley put a baby in her shirt so she could be just like her. I love how Kinley says Stefoni in this video.

Blue and Gold Banquet

Last night was our ward's Blue and Gold Banquet. This years theme was "One in a Minion". Every year the moms and sons make a cake together, err I mean, the moms make cakes. Mason really wanted me to make this cub scout shirt last year, but since it was my first time working with fondant, we went with something less fondant covered. This year, however; I decided to give it a go. It may not be perfect, but I think it turned out okay. Plus, it won "Best Cub Scout themed cake".

Dance Skilz

Friday night, our Stake put on a family valentines dance. We decided to go for a bit before the monsters got too tired. Shiloh and Kinley showed off their wonderful dance moves. Moves that they learned from their super coordinated mom and dad. 

Monster Jam

 Jeff and I were able to take Mason and Cooper to Monster Jam last night. The boys had a great time. Me?  Honestly, I couldn't care less, but I was glad to spend some time with just the boys.
