Lately

Man time moves fast.  I feel like I'm treading water most days, because they come and go so fast, and nothing much gets accomplished.  I guess I just have to try and enjoy these sweet babies of mine while they're little.  Other projects will just have to come eventually.

Speaking of projects, we're finishing our basement.  We've hired workers to do it, so this means that I have to basically be stuck at home almost every day, just in case they turn up...On top of that, they're not too considerate tracking through with their 'dirty' work boots.  But on the bright side, I'm getting super fast at mopping, which I consider exercise, and our basement is nearly done!!

Hazel.  Oh Hazel, how I love that little firecracker.  She can be stubborn, and we don't always get along perfectly, but she is still my best bud, and I love her to bits!

She is especially good at getting my shopping lists put together. ;)

Milo.  Dearest Milo.  You have some serious upper body strength, and can get into everything.  Gotta watch this delicious rascal every second.  It's exhausting, but I wouldn't change it for the world.

Maybe next year Johnny and I will be able to go on a Valentine's date, but this year, we had a family date at home, including Hazel's favorite treat; strawberries and dark chocolate!

We also had a beautiful and delicious Valentine's-themed dinner at my parents' house later.  Mmmm.

We also made a quick jaunt to Duchesne to say goodbye to Johnny's childhood home, because his parents have relocated and rebuilt.  It has got to be hard to leave a place that was your home for so many years..

Hazel said, "Wow, this was really a good house when he was little." :)

Exciting news: Elder Foster returned home from serving a 2-year mission in Indiana.  Hazel thought her 'tall' uncle was so cool, and she loved making a poster, and greeting him at the airport.  Oh, and getting a hamburger afterwards with her cousins.  Welcome home Jayson!

And today we were shocked to look out the window this morning to some snow!  This winter has been so mild, sunny and warm, so it was a shocker to see this.

Until next update. :)
