FEBRUARY

Time sure does fly!! This month's highlights have been:

- Taxes done, and a nice return to boot.(yes!, I can pay some bills)
- Valentines day. A nice romantic dinner at home and a nice surprise. . . Anth got my wedding ring fixed. I can wear it again. It sure is nice to have a family to love.
- President's day weekend we spent in St. George. The weather wasn't as warm as we hoped, but no snow was nice.
- The first grade patriotic program is done and it went pretty well.
-Now I just have to get grades done. (there is always something)

Why I love Elli

Elli is my baby. She is five now! I love Elli's spunk. I love her dance moves that she shows off quite regularly. I love that she knows and sings all the songs from Mama Mia. I love that she is a girl. I love how she laughs. I love that she is opinionated and tells us what she is thinking. I love her hugs.

Why I Love Andrew

Andrew is a sweetheart. I love that Andrew is happy. I love how he says thank you to me after making a yummy dinner or for taking him somewhere. I love that he has his best buddy Marcus who is equally sweet and kind. I love that Andrew enjoys school and is a good student. I love that Andrew is witty and makes funny comments all the time. I love that he loves to read-especially that he loves to read The Friend magazine.

Why I love Anthony Jay

Anthony Jay is probably the nicest, sweetest 12 year old boy you will ever meet. I love that his Sunday School teachers are always telling me what an amazing kid he is-so smart and respectful. I love that Anthony will do anything for a member of his family. (sometimes I worry he is too self-sacrificing) I love that he willingly watches/babysits his younger brother and sister. I love that he never complains. I love the good example he sets. I love that his personality and sense of humor are starting to be like his dad's.
