Valentine's Day!

It's almost Valentine's day! It's my favorite holiday I love it even more then Christmas. Something about all the hearts and the pink, red and white, oh and the candy is the best. Chocolates, conversation hearts and other yummy treats. All that aside I really love that it's a day dedicated to love. Yes it's mostly geared towards couples but who says you can't give your friends or co-workers a Valentine. Family members always love to be reminded of how much you mean to them. I love to make Valentines and to have fun decorations.

Since being married Valentine's is a little more special with my forever Valentine, and he's a gem and makes it extra special for me. The other day I got switched houses for work and had to leave at 8 instead of 9:30. Well my sweetie husband took that time to go and buy paper and cut out a bunch of heart that covered the biggest wall of the apartment. It took him a long time and he probably wanted to play computer games instead but he did something that made me smile. I love it and love looking at it everyday. =)

So I wish all my friends and family a Happy Valentine's Day! May you feel loved and important and have a little treat today. =)

This is a Valentine's tradition with my sisters. So funny. check it out but don't take it too seriously. My favorite part. " What are we going to get?!"  " Several boys!"  " How we gonna get them?" " Um....Vodoo is it vodoo." hehe....

Halloween Happenings

We've been having some fun Halloween activities this year. We went to our ward Trunk or Treat to see the kids in our Primary. That was fun, they had some cute costumes and kept trying to come back for more candy. Then we carved pumpkins with the Messengers. It was actually a lot of fun because we had really good tools. I even got a little drill tool for Justin. He gets excited about the funniest things. 

Jinni made a big ole' hole that just about fit our heads. =)

Justin hard at work with his drill. 

My Vampire face is actually working! I can never get my pumpkins to look this good. I am totally sold on the tools we got.

Jinni's final carving.

Jyana working on her flower pumpkin. It was a perfect shape for a flower.

Ben's Jack King of the Pumpkins from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

He is so skilled he just looked at the picture and drew it out. I needed a stencil. =)

Justin's Hulk on the left and my Vampire on the right.

Jyana's flower on the left and Ben's Jack on the right. They look even cooler all lit up.

Cecilia's carved by Justin( hehe) on the left and Jinni's Ghosts on the right.

Grandma and Grandpa wanted a picture.

Then it was time to celebrate this lovely lady's birthday. She is so old, 17! What she was most excited for was Dinosaur fabric to make blanket or pajama pants. She loves Dinosaurs.

And, She's just cute. Love that chubbers 

Yum....that is some delicious cake. 

Happy Halloween!
