Laundry Girl

Jemma loves when I fold laundry and even likes to help...


By taking out every single piece of clothing and then rolling in it.



No pictures please!

Air Hockey with the Boys

Jaxon and Blake were trying to play air hockey and Jemma had to get in the middle of it.







Literally in the middle of it.

Literacy/Math Night

On Thursday, February 16 the grade school had literacy/math night. PreK - 2nd was in the gym. Parents came in and we had games and other activities for them to take home. There were cookies and door prizes in the cafeteria.

Jemma in her Valentine's Day outfit she didn't get to wear on the actual day since she was sick. I'll try to get a better picture of it later.

Valentine's Day

I recently got into Pinterest I've found tons of neat ideas. I'll never get to all of them but it's fun to imagine. I found lots of great ideas for Valentine's Day. The hard part was picking out only a few to do.

Here it goes:
First off here are these cute ipod Valentines that I actually found last year on the internet and Jaxon decided to give them this year. I wrapped heart candies in construction paper then printed off the playlist and scroll wheel. Then wrapped mini Reese's in aluminum foil and used string as the cord. Click here for the link.









All done!




All ready to go to school.


Here are the Valentine's, Blake and I made for our classes. Link




These are the Valentine's for the kids at Jemma's daycare. Goldfish that says, "Will you o'fishally be mine?" Link


This is Jaxon's big Valentine card with candy. I sent Blake on this one. He's more creative and it took something off of my list.






Here are the headbands I made for Jemma and the other 2 little girls at Jemma's daycare. Link


Jemma's card and Valentine gift.


This is Blake's Valentine from me. Again another idea from Pinterest that was so easy. Donuts with a sign that says, "Donut you Know I Love You a Hole Bunch!"




Jaxon getting his Valentine. He loved the big poster card!




Unfortunately, Jemma was sick on Valentine's Day! I stayed home with her - a huge pain to make sub plans for on a holiday.


I made heart pancakes for Jaxon. I was out of red food dye so he picked green.








Feeling a little better.

My 30th Birthday

February 7 I turned 30! Wow it has gone fast! The age doesn't really bother me I just can't believe that I'm at 30 already. It's gone sooo fast! I always say I could be older. You know when I'm older I'm going to look back and think, "Geez only 30. That is so young!" So it's really all relative.

My birthday was on a Tuesday so I spend my real birthday at school. I made a red velvet cake and shared with my kids. I did receive some beautiful flowers from my parents. I have a picture on my Ipad but I just now realized I don't have a picture from my phone. I'll have to work on getting that picture off my Ipad.

I told Blake what I really wanted for my birthday was a party so that's what we did on Saturday, February 11. We were able to use our friend's, the Howies, shop for the party. My parents, grandparents, and brother (along with his girlfriend) all came out for my party along with a lot of friends from Satanta. The bad thing about a birthday in February is that there are sicknesses going around and it is really busy. I was a little concerned that not many would be able to show up but it ended up being quite a few and we had a blast! I tried to make myself actually be in the pictures with people because I'm not very good at doing that but since it was my birthday I figured I needed to show I was there. It was a great birthday with many more to come! Here's to a new decade!

With Granny and the special glass she got for me for the night.


Jaxon picked out some jewelry for me that I wore to the party. He did a really good job. In fact I almost bought the ring a few times that he picked out.










There are my flowers in the window.






My brother with the tiara he got me. (Inside joke from Big Bang Theory.)












Silly pic.

John, Jill, and Jemma. (Jemma was supposed to be with the babysitter with the other kids but she was starting to get a cold and was bawling the whole time with the babysitter so Blake went to get her.)


Notice the purple number 30 jersey! That was a gift from Blake he gave me in high school. It had a 30 on it because that was my basketball number and it had my name on it so I wore it for awhile that night.

Not sure? Chip, Jill and Jared
