Here is what we did in the month February.
1. Casey and I took the boys to the Bounce House place for FHE one night. Mason and Tanner loved every minute of it. Casey took the boys on every bounce house so by the end of the night they were not scared of anything. Even Tanner was running around going on everything. We had a great time! After the Bounce House place we took the boys to dinner at Brick Oven. It was a great night spent with just our little family.
2. Casey has been volunteering at the MTC on Sunday's to translate Samoan. During this past month there was a missionary that was struggling with a few things so the MTC president asked Casey to come a few extra times to help this missionary out. Casey was happy to help any chance he could. A few weeks before the missionary left the MTC to go out into the mission field, the missionary told Casey that his family could not afford to send him a few extra things he needed to go out into the mission field such as: shoes, pants, and socks. Casey asked my family and his mom to help donate some money so we could go buy him these things he needed. We were able to come up with enough money to buy him everything he needed before entering the mission field. When Casey took the items to him, the missionary was speechless and was so full of gratitude for everthing Casey had done for him. I'm so grateful for Casey and all his service to help this young missionary.
3. Mason wasn't feeling very well one day so I let him take his nap on my bed. He looked so cozy.
4. Friday night dinner and movie in the front room.
5. Amy, Meg, and I threw a little Valentine's Day party for the kids. We played games, decorated cookies, and did a craft. The kids loved it!
6. Cait and Will threw a small Valentine's Day party at their house. We had fun decorating cookies, passing out our valentine's, and visiting with family.
7. We took Mason and Tanner to Scheel's sports store to ride the ferris wheel. Tanner was too little to ride it, but Mason was just the right height. Mason chose me to ride with him. He loved every minute of it and smiled and lughed the entire time. Now he calls Scheel's Disneyland.
8. We had so much fun celebrating Valentine's Day this year. I love spending Valentine's Day with Mason, Tanner, and of course Casey. We made Oreo cookies for our Valentine's this year and took them around to everyone. We also recieved lots of Valentine's in return. That night we got a heart shapped pizza and ate it as a family. What a great day to spend as a family.
9. I took Mason and Tanner to the park one day in February for a few minutes. The weather was actually pretty warm and we needed to get out of the house for a bit. There was still snow on the ground, but that didn't stop Mason and Tanner from swinging, sliding down the slides, and running around having a great time. I can't wait for warmer park weather all the time.
10. We celebrated February family birthdays. I love spending time with family.
11. We went to the Provo City Center Open house with Myrn and Garrett. This is such beautiful temple and I'm so grateful that I got to take my little family to see the inside. Mason calls this temple the Temple Castle. Mason especially loved everything about the inside of this beautiful temple.
And that was our February, in a nut shell. Now onto March!!
