Valentines surprise!

I know a lot of people who think Valentines Day isn't an important holiday, and where as it may not be IMPORTANT, I love it. I love the feeling of love and the happiness I feel around this holiday.
So today, I was pleasantly surprised to come home from Makenna's school Valentine party to see a box delivered on my front porch. When I opened it up, there inside were 2 dozen beautiful roses from Matt. I was so happy and it totally made my day. Thank you Matt for my beautiful roses! I love them and I love you! Happy Valentines Day!!

Welcome to our Family Bodee!!

Well, he's here!! We finally have our dog Bodee. We picked him up today and are so happy to have him as a part of our family. I never thought I'd see the day when I was happy to have a dog, but I really am.
So far today, he has been really good. He LOVES the girls and they've been outside in the back, running around and playing. He is actually pretty mellow, which we need some of that around here. I don't know how tonight will be, I am sure that it won't be fun, but I am really excited to have him. He is so soft and cute and I really do love this dog.

ChEEr CamP!!

On Wednesday and Thursday, Makenna did a mini cheer camp for Riverton High School. On those two days, she went and learned a dance, and 2 cheers and then on Friday, yesterday, she performed at half time at the Riverton High BBall game.

For only two days of learning, she actually did the dance really good. I wish I could post it, but I don't know how to upload a video from my video camera. :(
Oh well. She really did good though, and she did really good with her cheers. She had a lot of fun with it and said she can't wait to do it again next year!!

Kids say the Darndest things!

I just wanted to post about a couple things that Makenna and Hannah said to me recently.
Last week Makenna came home from school talking about a book that they read and this is what she told me:

Makenna: "We read this book about an old lady who was really ugly, and in the book when she was younger she wasn't ugly, she was just like okay.... like you mom."
Me: "Wow! Thanks, so I am just okay?... hahaha"

And then just this morning, I was in the bathroom getting ready and Hannah was talking about dying (she does this a lot for some reason). And this is what she said..
Hannah: "I'm not going to die for a long time, huh?"
Me: "Right, not for a long time"
Hannah: "Ya, cause I'm not old"
Me: "Yep"
Hannah: "Ya, cause I'm not 40 yet. But when I'm 40 I'll die, cause I'll be old"
Me: hahaha...

Wow!! I used to think 40 was really old too, but my gosh, I'll be 40 in 12 years. Matt will be 40 in less that 10 years! CRAZY!!! I sure hope we don't die when we are "OLD!!"
