Valentine "Love Monsters"

Time for our annual Valentine Party! These kids are too big to just frost cookies...so we really got busy and made some LOVE MONSTERS! I was amazed at the creativity and the time they took to create their monsters! What a cute bunch of kiddo's! I am such a lucky Granny!

Everyone getting busy! I had so much fun just finding the right candy!

Angie and Max were cutting out hearts for our "Heart Attacks"

Heart Attack!

Since Valentine's Day is about LOVE...we decided to show some Love! We went to the homes of 4 women in our ward and "Heart Attacked" their doors...and left them some cupcakes (pretty ones frosted by the mom's)... We did it very quietly (yeah right...with 10 kids) decorated their doors and left their treat on the step! It was so fun! So glad they weren't home or they might have been scared to death... Sadie said it is a bit mean to "Heart Attack" older people... because well...you know Granny... Ha Ha! I am sure they loved it! Thanks Jen for the idea! Did I mention that I love this bunch of kids more than anything? I have 18 of the most amazing Grandkids on this earth! What a blessed Granny!

Posing for a quick pic!

Then on to another.... She was home but had the presence of mind to call her granddaughter have her call her quickly and tell her to stay in the house until we were gone. We are about as quiet as a herd of elephants!

All done... RUN!

Then we went to Aunt Margene's home! Monica came outside and told us the door was open and to go in and see her!

So we did! She was so thrilled to see all the little kids! She had to have a hug and kiss from all of them...

Then she had them all line up and give her another! It was pretty priceless! The kids were so adorable and loved being there!

I am so amazed what can grown in the winter time! Hal is amazing! We have had the yummiest arugula ever! The spinach is coming up too! Yum!



My Favorite Day!

Hal knows I am determined to win the HGTV Dream Home Contest... (all I can do is enter!) We took a Saturday and drove up to Midway and spent a really fun day hanging out together. We went to my favorite restaurant in Midway and took lots and lots of pictures of my Dream Home. It was such a fun day! I sure would like to win this!

This is the home.... Awesome right?

From across the street.

Provo River runs through the back of the property!

Hal is still my favorite guy! Lucky me!
