Happy Birthday to Robin

When I got home from the Get Away, Jere had mad a fabulous dinner of Chicken Alfredo and had bought a Cheesecake for me. He also got me some new pots and pans. Olivia got me a new picture frame with a picture of all four kids, Devin got me A blanket, Garrett 3D printed me a heart, and Andi picked out Cheezits for me.
Olivia left a note for me on my whiteboard.

This is the picture that Livvy got for me to put in my classroom.
My sister, Emily, surprised me with a homemade afghan.  It was so soft and pretty.  I really do have the best sisters.  I love them both so much.

I had a great birthday weekend!

St. George Get Away with my Sister

Jenn asked what I wanted for my birthday. I told her I wanted to do something to get away with just me and her. She planned a fabulous get away. We went to St. George to go to see the play "Peter and the StarCatcher at Dixie College, and then we went to Zions on Sunday.  We went on 2 short hikes.  It was nice to spend time together and have a short get away. I love that she lives so close. I do believe she my best friend and I love her.

Going to the Park in February

We have had a a really cold and snowy winter. Then one day all the snow was gone and it was nice outside. I took Devin and Andi to the park to enjoy the sunshine. It didn't last long. That night we had a big snowstorm.

3D Printing

Jeremy and Garrett's new hobby is 3d printing. We had six spinners printed. We thought we would see what the interest would be to sell them. We sold the first 6 in the first hour and we now have orders for 27 more. Right now we are only using Jeremy's printer but Garrett had saved enough money to buy his own printer. Hopefully soon we can Garrett's printer working properly we can print these spinners faster.

We even sent one to Zach for his birthday. He says they are addicting :)

Valentine's Day

I won a free pair of heart leggings and I bought a matching pair for Olivia and Andi for Valentines' day.

In the morning we had candy cups for each kid.

Jeremy had flowers to me.


Devin had to make his own box for school this year and we helped him make a pikachu box.  I think it turned out pretty cute.

That evening we had heart pizza as is our tradition and apple cider.
