After ice cream we were watching a show when Isabelle got the camera out and started snapping pictures. 
Then Lillian started snapping some. 
Then Isabelle started snapping a few too many of Lillian and she started to get a little angry... 
Then she got even angrier but Isabelle kept on snapping. 
Eventually the photo session ended with nice feelings after a little parental intervention. Letting the girls loose with the camera always produces some very entertaining pictures. 
Lillian's kindergarten teacher decided to raise some baby chicks in the classroom. What a great idea, right? Baby chicks are adorable, to look at, not to own. This said teacher told the kids that if they had a farm or a chicken coop they could take one of the baby chicks home. Now I really do love this teacher, but are you kidding me?! Lillian of course, came home begging us to get a baby chick. We used our best negotiating with a 5 year old skills, but nothing worked. Kevin had the very smart idea to have her write down questions to ask 2 of his coworkers, who own chickens, on how to raise chickens. So she did (she's holding her questions in the picture) and she did really well on it, we were very impressed. Not impressed enough to give in though. These two kind ladies responded to each one of her questions, 'how do you clean up their poop?', with very thorough responses, 'chickens are very messy you have to change their straw often'. We were grateful for their honesty and we assumed she would end her pleading because chickens sound like a lot of work! After we read the responses she says, "So when are we going to get the chicks?" Um, never.
On Friday we went to the Aggie game, which they, thankfully won. It was such a fun game. The next day we did a little shopping. 
Tara and I had been excited about H&M for the entire trip! 
That night the game was so much fun! It was close but that made it interesting. There were tons of Aggie fans; it almost felt like a home game. 
Thankfully the Aggies pulled through with a win! What a fun game! After the game we went back to St. George. 
I was soaking up the sun until the very last minute. Kevin had to come and tell me it was seriously time to leave. 
We had tons of fun! It was a great getaway from the cold in the north and go and see the sun. I am so ready for spring. 
It was such a fun night with our friends. We just ate and visited and ate some more. The food was delicious! 
Our kids are thankfully, good friends too. They had their own table with paper on it for a little art project before the food was ready. 
Here is the spread. Just remembering the food is making my mouth water. That night a huge snowstorm hit. When it was time for everyone to leave there was 6 inches of snow when there hadn't been any. It was such a fun night. 
What's Valentine's Day without some pink heart shaped pancakes to show your family how much you love them? 
Plus, pancakes are just behind noodles are the girls' favorite food. 
The girls both got new shirts, a necklace, and a sticker book. 
They wasted no time playing with their books. 
That night Kevin came home with a dozen red roses for me and a rose for each of the girls; how sweet is that? 
Then we had a loud, romantic dinner for 4. 
We went to the airport to welcome our man home. We could hardly wait. 
I didn't catch the reunion on tape because we all just ran to him to hug him. He had to come home for his birthday! How crummy is that? After we picked him up we headed to my parents for a birthday party. We had Mandarin for dinner, Yum! And better than sex cake for dessert, Yum! 
As you can see Isabelle enjoyed herself some chocolate cake.
