Valentines

So we have never really been big valentines people, ok well maybe it's just me!! But this year we had fun. The girls each decided to make valentines for their classes. Mylie made super hero lollipops and we stole Autumns idea and Harley made lips and mustaches for her class. They turned out really cute and both girls were really excited about them. Mylie was super excited because this would be the first time she gets to pass out valentines in class. She also has 2 boys that like her and gave her special valentines. Harley has 1 special admirer. A little to young, but what can you do!!!.

Last year Jer decided he was going to heart attack the girls beds so when they got home they would be surprised. Well, he did it again this year. Sorry no pictures, we were too excited about the candy. Jer bought both girls their favorite candies and wrote them notes. I guess a tradition is born, we will be doing this every year!!!

With Jer home I was able to go and do my valentine surprise for the family. I went all over town and got Jer, Harley, Mylie, and Quinn each their favorite thing to eat for dinner. Then came home and put it on fancy plates and we used fancy glasses. Sorry again no pictures. I didn't even think about it until right now. The girls always want to use the fancy glasses, so we finally did. I made a heart shaped cake and we had a really fun dinner.

It was a fun day. Now to ration the candy so they don't eat too much in one day!!!

Winners!!!

This last week we had 2 winners in our family. First Harley was part of her schools 200 Club. She got an award because she was being helpful in class and being very unselfish. She was very excited about it, we are too!!!
Mylie also won a contest. Foxboro elementary and Davis district holds a "Reflections" contest every year. Last year and the year before Harley won the contest at the school level, with photography. This year she didn't win, but Mylie won. She painted on canvas a picture of a teddy bear, whale, and duck. The theme was "Diversity Means . . . " and she wrote friends. She won at the school level and last week she brought home a certificate saying she won at the district level and is now headed to region. We are so proud of her. When we get her picture back I will post a picture of it!

New Year, New Goals

Ok so it has been quite a while since our last post. I am going to start posting weekly, it is my new goal!

The new year has been great so far. But the first big exciting news of the year is that Mylie has lost her first tooth!!! It has been loose for a few weeks and she finally let Jer pull it out. She was so excited. I sewed her a tooth pouch so that she could keep her tooth safe under her pillow. The first thing this morning she ran into our room with her dollar! Mylie left a note for the tooth fairy asking to keep her tooth. Harley has always kept her teeth and Mylie wanted to be just like Harley. What a great start to her week, now she will be able to tell everyone at school that it finally came out!
