Toddler Hair

I love to do Jenelle's hair and it's finally long enough to do pigtails... Well almost :)

Lenny's Homecoming

It's been two years since Lenny Escobar went on his mission. A lot of things have happened, we had two girls and moved twice. Anton got married and Mitchell went on his own mission. Even though all these things have happened everything isn't that much different.

Jeff still tells horrible jokes and I still like to make food :) that's pretty much all you need to know lol Jenelle is potty trained and MecKenzie can say 8 words. (three of them are basically the same 'hi, hi ya, and hey')

It's fun to see Lenny and how much he has grown. Now to get him on his way to normalcy while still maintaining his new spiritual greatness. I am planning to start with Despicable Me 2! Should be great! He isn't sure about it yet but he is ready.

Valentine's

Well, it's been a great two weeks of love for Jeff. He has gotten a gift everyday to his total enjoyment. Tonight we are doing sushi and putting the kids to bed early.

Hope you have a great Valentine's!

Jenelle's hair for Valentine's <3

Cute Moments

Well, MecKenzie is crawling now! Pretty exciting.

I am doing the 14 days of Valentines for Jeff. Until yesterday everything was going pretty good. I attempted to make his favorite almond snack. And by attempted I mean utter failure. The recipe I used was from My Baking Addiction. I made a substitute that made the almonds too salty. Never fear! I will attempt it again with less salt!

On another note, Jenelle was pretty cute this morning. Jeff and I were being lazy in bed but Jenelle was ready to be awake. So I invented a game that allowed me to stay in bed while still entertaining her. I would stick a body part over the edge of the bed and make her tell me what it was. It worked great! But I was running out of fingers and toes so I stuck half my face over the bed. She pointed at me and yelled, "Cheek!" Then she dashed to the other side of the bed and said, "dad, cheek please!" Probably one of the cutest things she has done to date.

Also the winter Olympics are on. Or they would be if NBC wasn't being ridiculous. The only time it comes on the local channels is after 8pm. Seeing as that is the girls' bedtime they don't get to watch any of it. Not that they really care I guess. But I don't get to watch much of them either because I try to go to bed around 10. Needless to say that all the events I would like to watch are never on. Big disappointment.

Couponing

I have become totally engrossed in the ways of couponing. Last year I saved $700 in 6 months. After a savings like that who could give it up? Not me that's for sure! Yesterday I got a really great deal, 5 cans of dry shampoo for free. That's right! FREE. I thought that was a pretty great deal considering the normal price is $4.98. Total price would have been $24.90. I think that is a pretty good deal.

Birthday

It's coming to the end of my birthday and what a day it has been. Jeff took a surprise day off from work this morning to make me breakfast and spend the day with me.

The sneak pretended to go to work this morning but he really went and got flowers and breakfast food. It's was pretty cute of him. Then he took me to sushi and a movie. We saw 'I, Frankenstein' which had a good amount of action but not a great story. After that Jeff made me a 'better than anything' cake.

Needless to say it was a great 25th!
