Valentines week is always a crazy week, full of making vday boxes, and valentines cards for all the kids classes at school and celebrating Taylor's bday. This was a busy week full of lots of fun. I had a cold this week and so did Lizzie. This was not good at all, we spent a couple days lounging at home in our pj's hoping to feel better soon.
Wednesday night Lizzie was having trouble breathing, she was wheezing really bad and sounded like she couldn't get air.
Danny raced her up to Primary Children's ER and they monitored her oxygen levels, put her on a breating treatments and gave her some steriods. The steroids made her so active and crazy! We had a wild couple of days. Luckily her breating improved and she's feeling much better now.

Here's Lu Lu opening her Valentines cards from grandma and grandpa Wall. She was thrilled with her Kitty card.

Taylor' scout group went Snow Shoeing up Millcreek Canyon. He said it was tons of fun and came home worn out and tired.

We celebrated Taylor's 11th birthday a few times this week. We had a family bday dinner and then gave him his present from Danny and I. He wanted a new Ukelele that has a cut away, and can plug into the amp. Here he is waiting to see his gift.

Here is the Ukelele. It was an expensive bday present so he only got on gift. But he didn't care- he was so excited to play it.
He is really great on the ukelele and it sounds awesome plugged into the amplifier. It was a fun night listening to him play and be so excited about his new instrument.

Happy Birhday to Taylor! He was such an adorable baby, super chubby and always smiling.

Here is Taylor on Valentines day morning before school.
He wanted waffles with Nutella for breakfast. He opened gifts from very kind aunts, and uncles as well as grandparents. He got spoiled and was happy as can be!



Valentines was a busy day for everyone. Emily had her Virginia Tanner Dance program at 10am. The kids and I went and watched her dance. Her song was about gravity and how things move. It was fun and she did great!

Then Isaac went to Kindergarten and Lizzie went home to grandma's house while I went and helped with Emily's class valentines day party!
I played BINGO at my station. It was fun to see all her friends in class and see what they made for their vday boxes.
I didn't even get a picture of my kids boxes, oh well.

Here's cute Isaac after his class party. He had fun and loved celebrating Vday!

Here's the kids in the walking group from our street.

On valentines night after Taylor went to Basketball practice he invited some friends over for dinner and games. They ate pizza, breadsticks, fruit and salad. Then we had donuts and chocolate milk for dessert. Danny took them to the church to play ultimate frisbee and BBall, then they came back to our house to play Spoons, and hide and go seek.
His friends are very nice and they are a good group of boys! I can't believe we have an 11 year old! He has grown up so quicky!!

It was a successful Valentines Day and Birthday celebration for Taylor!
 We love you Tay!
