Last Thursday Parker left with my Dad and brothers to Phoenix to have a guys weekend. They went golfing, swimming, played tennis, and ate good food. Parker also got to see his brother Ryan. We worked hard to have fun at home too :) We had a Mommy movie night, got new Webkins, had a sleepover at Grammy's (my Mom's), made cookies, and on Saturday we went to the Zoo with my sister Megan. It was so much fun, the weather was perfect and my kids LoVeD every minute of it. We were excited to find out that one of the elephants is pregnant and due this summer. We rode the carousel and the train. Parker called us as we were leaving, he was at the airport and told us to meet them in Orem for dinner at Cafe Rio. My Mom and Chelsey met all of us there and we ate yummy food and got to hear about the guys trip. I'm glad to have Parker home! But I'm also glad that he had such an amazing time.

Happy Valentines to everyone! We had an awesome day...we started with heart waffles, whip cream and eggs for breakfast. We gave each other homemade cards and gifts and then spent the morning together. Parker had to work, so the kids and I made Valentines ALL day. It was so much fun and a great way to spend our time. We delivered Grandpa and Grammy Jackson's and mailed Grandpa and Grandma Kemp's. We've just had a fun day loving each other and being together. What a great holiday!

On Sunday we watched the Superbowl and celebrated Ella's birthday with my family. Again, she had a GrEaT time with her cake! It was gone before most of us had even started ours. It was fun to make her birthday last more than one day.
