And these pictures that follow are extremely old! I started a post about 2 weeks ago and never finished it. So here you go:
We had a treadmill competition one night. Reagan likes to go fast on the treadmill, but she can't go as fast as mom and dad. So Matt and I ran as fast as we could for a minute. I can't remember how fast I went, but it was too much and I stopped after 30 seconds.
The first weekend in February, we had an overnight retreat with the Young Women in my ward! We went to a cabin up near Sonora. It was a quick getaway, but the girls bonded in that amount of time. It was good for them. (siiiiiiiideways pic)
We went and played in the snow the next day. It was like 60 degrees in the mountains and after sledding, most of the girls removed their jackets. 
Its kind of funny that I am posting pics of my YW, since most of you don't even know them, but I thought the pictures themselves were really great. I love the snow spraying up into their faces and their expressions. My kids will only eat "snacks," so we refer to mealtimes as "snack." Well, this was a real snack and one they love to have. I put surprises in their mini muffin pans. I usually search around the cupboards and fridge for random items to put in them and they love some of the things they end up with. Today the big hit was pepperoni slices.
Reagan likes to have her picture taken. 
Reagan and her friend Addie putting on a show for me!
Reagan cutting off a chain on her countdown trip to Utah. Again, old picture. We got back from Utah a week ago :) We went with the Berrett's and Addie made Reagan a chain to countdown. It was a fun way to pass time till we left. 
We have a tradition for Valentines Day to eat in. In the past we have ordered takeout from Chili's and ate on our nice dishes. This year I did a little extra and made stuff from home. Well, sort of made....Costco did most of the work for me! Our menu was panko-breaded shrimp for appetizer. Tomato soup with parmesan crisps (Trader Joes did the work). Spinach, feta and carmalized onion pizzas on flatbread (I did the work, with recipe credit to Our Best Bites). They were delish and Matt even loved them! That is saying quite a bit since he isn't a big fan of meals that don't contain meat. The kids got their own marinara and mozzarella cheese pizza. My inspiration for these pizzas was a recent meal at Cheesecake Factory, where I had their pear and gorgonzola pizette. Uh, yeah, to die for. I have been craving it ever since. These were a good second. 
It was a good Valentines Day spend with the ones I love most :)
