Valentine's Day and such

 Last week didn't start out great....but it definitely turned itself around!  When we got home from Delta on Sunday night I was sick as a dog!  I thought it was just pregnancy stuff, but I ended up throwing up like every hour all night!  It was horrible, I thought I might die haha, but really!  And when your pregnant and can't keep anything down, including your nausea pill, it's pretty much the worst!  It was some sort of stomach flu.  I was supposed to work Monday but had to call in sick and Tom took the day off to to take care of Jade.  I spent the day rotting in our room and I'm SOOO glad Tom was here with Jade so I could stay away from her...and thankfully, neither of them got it.  He was so sweet, taking care of everything and checking on me to see if I needed anything.
So anyways...I survived haha

By Thursday I was feeling back to normal and I took the dogs and Jade on a walk at the park.  We went around the trail and when we went by the playground, most of the snow had melted and it was pretty warm so I tied up the dogs and we played!  Pj's and all!  It was just so fun to be out in the fresh air and had the park to ourselves!  I'm so excited for spring!


 That night Tom and I went out for Valentine's day!  Just the two of us!  It was so nice!  We hardly ever get a babysitter so we can go out...although we are going to try to do it more often!  We went to Carabba's of course!..our favorite!
I'm so lucky and grateful to have this guy as my Valentine for the 8th year!  I count my blessings everyday for him!  Love you babe!


After dinner we did a little Valentine's shopping and Tom got me a new purse and some shoes, and I got him a new hat and pillows!  Tom also picked out a Valentine for Jade= a really cute little Mickey Mouse book set and she loved it!
We also gave each other a love letter which was my favorite thing ever!  I cherish notes from Tom more than anything!
Happy Love Day!



 And introducing!!!!!>>>>>>>  SUPER JADE!  The other night it was so cute!  We tied her pj's on her and said it's a cape and she totally understood and said "Super Jade!"  It was hilarious!  So for about the next hour she ran around knowing she was being awesome and we really played it up!  Soon we had her saying, "I'm so strong! I'm so smart!  I'm so brave!  I'm Super Jade!"    We would say "Super Jade can fly!" and she would start jumping!  And when we would show her the pics on the camera that we had just taken and ask who it was, she would say, "It's Super Jade!"  haha Precious moments:)




 The other night I gave Treyvin his first real haircut.  I was nervous when Jess sent me the pic of what she wanted because it was a wide, blended mohawk and I didn't know if a one year old could hold still enough to do it but he was sooo good!  It turned out so cute and he looks so different!  His hair used to be about twice as long as Jade's!  Doing a fun haircut on him really got me excited for if we are having a boy:)


 Yesterday Brittany and I went to the park to enjoy the 50 degree weather! (it's snowing now...typical)   Jade and Carter thought the wood chips were the coolest things ever haha!  They kept throwing them in the air and at each other.  Carter started putting them on his and her heads and it was so funny!



Just a couple random pics of Jade loving on the dogs!  She's always asking where one or the other is if she can't find them.  She also loves greeting them when we get home from somewhere and telling them what to do ("Go away Jovi!  Marley come here! Get down!)



Now if she could just get over this runny nose and little cough she has had for 3 weeks, that would be great!

Casper's first birthday


We spent last weekend down in Delta / Oak City to celebrate Casper's first birthday!  Darren and Dani threw a great party at Kevin's cabin up Oak City canyon!  The cabin was the perfect location and it was so great to see everyone!








 Jade loved the party too!  She was in heaven with all the ice cream and opening of presents!



 She was so cute giving Casper her present!
 And all the kids wanted in on his presents!
 Cute little Kippy






She loved getting to see her Great grandparents too!  Grandma & Grandpa Probst:)  We were so happy to spend time with them.  We don't see them enough!  We need to get to Midway more often.
 Lucky for Jade, she got a Valentine present from Grandma and Larry!  Thank you Michelle!  That was so sweet of you!  And she absolutely loves her "baby Minnie"

 Oh Lashel, I just love you!! I'm grateful for any chance to hang out with you:)  And I'm obsessed with your hair!
 Stealing some time on Casper's four wheeler!

Cuddles with Grandma!





Love this one of Koleman rockin' out with his new guitar from Grandma!



Michelle captured the best shots!  Look how cute this one of Grandpa Probst and Casper is!


 Thanks again for the the cute party Darren and Dani!  Happy Birthday big guy!


The rest of the afternoon we hung out at Kevin's while the kids napped.
This little view, right out Kevin's front door is one of my favorites!  I stop and stare at it every time we are there.  I just love everything about it.



Then went to good ole' Leos for dinner!  I haven't eaten there forever!  And of course, the sour cream fries did not disappoint!














We spent the rest of the night at my parents and we had a blast!  We played lots of ROOK and Wizard


And we cheered for the OLYMPICS!  
 Then on Sunday we went with my parents to the Singles ward in Delta where my dad is 2nd Counselor in the bishopric.  It was a great meeting and Jade was the only kid there so everyone could hear everything that was on her mind!  She would cheer "YAY!" after every song and prayer.  She had us cracking up the whole time with all she was saying.  And she was very disappointed to not be going to nursery after behaving in sacrament meeting for so long:(

The rest of the afternoon we ate some of my mom's delicious cooking and all took naps!  It was lovely!

On our way home we stopped to see Kevin and Jade loved the bubbles and the tickles.
