The Highlight of My Day: February 2011


Something good happens each day. Here's what happened in February:

Tue 2/1/11: I had wonderful mommy moments with Lizzy today. We read books together, and she made me laugh out loud with her cute voice, naming animals (most she called doggies), and saying hippos were "uck." She also covered me with kisses while we were lying in bed. She's never done that before, and it was SO cute and funny.

Wed 2/2/11: I showed Scott how to make banana cream pie (the easy way) and it turned out fantastic! Everyone loved it!

Thu 2/3/11: I'm getting better at creating my own soup recipes for dinner. Tonight I made fish soup, and it turned out really, really good! Almost everyone had seconds. Even Lizzy!

Fri 2/4/11: Had a fun night with Marian and the puppies again! Those little guys are growing up fast! Lizzy had fun drinking soda and going on horsey rides with Papa. She liked hugging Woody, too.

Sat 2/5/11: We bought Lizzy a front-facing carseat today! She's getting too big for her infant seat. And we also bought her a Singamajig, which she LOVES!

Sun 2/6/11: I helped Scott make a cell model for his extra credit, using jello, canned fruit, and candy.

Mon 2/7/11: Scott came home with good news. His extra credit ended up being the best in his class! YAY!

Tue 2/8/11: I finished the newsletter today! I need to mail it off ASAP.

Wed 2/9/11: Positive results!!! More later on that topic. Side highlight: We had our annual date night with the kids for Valentine's Day! Brad took the girls out to Iceberg and I had fun with Scott playing video games and drinking Jamba Juice.

Thu 2/10/11: Emma won first place in the Science Fair!!! I'm so proud of my wonderful girl!!! I guess all that hard work paid off. Another highlight: Lizzy used the potty for the first time today! Hooray for Lizzy!

Fri 2/11/11: We went to visit Marian and the puppies tonight. Marian is wonderful! I enjoyed talking to her while Brad watered her plants.

Sat 2/12/11: Marilyn and James invited us to join them on a trip to The Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy. Lizzy LOVED looking at the fish.

Sun 2/13/11: The kids and I watched "Legend of the Guardians: the Owls of Ga'Hoole."

Mon 2/14/11: We all had a very happy Valentine's Day today! Our FHE lesson tonight was on love. The kids had fun making strawberry cupcakes.

Tue 2/15/11: Three of Aunt Marian's foster puppies got adopted out to good homes, which is both a good thing and a sad thing. The others will be leaving tomorrow, so we stopped by tonight to play with them and say our last goodbyes.

Wed 2/16/11: Had an unexpected guest show up at our house this morning. Things are looking a little brighter! I hope good things will soon come to pass.

Thu 2/17/11: The kids and I had dentist appointments today. I loved all the positive feedback. The dentist called me Ms. Perfect Teeth. Made me want to smile all day!

Fri 2/18/11: The kids didn't have school today, and Brad stayed home from work! I liked the extra company.

Sat 2/19/11: Dinner with Tricky and David at Texas Roadhouse.

Sun 2/20/11: Falling asleep in Brad's lap was nice, especially when he rubbed my neck and shoulders. He's lovely.

Mon 2/21/11: It was nice having another "Saturday". I love four day weekends! We went to the store and bought some goodies, then we went to the park and ate Burger King. In the evening we had dinner with the Bruce Clan.

Tue 2/22/11: Went on a walk with Lizzy today. It was cold and our hands were freezing, but the sun was lovely and warm. We had fun playing with the neighbors' black cat when we returned home. Lizzy loves kitties. She calls them "keeee!"

Wed 2/23/11: Sold three hats today! YAY! And I enjoyed attending our ward's Chili/Soup Cookoff. I tried Sister Heather Jenkins' exceptionally delicious tomato bisque soup. It was soooooo good!

Thu 2/24/11: Lizzy's hair is growing so long and wavy and beautiful! I cut her bangs today, because they were getting in her eyes. My daughter is absolutely GORGEOUS!

Fri 2/25/11: Friday night with my hubby and baby= LOVELY! We had dinner at Panda Express, went shopping at Walmart, and then cuddled on the couch before bed.

Sat 2/26/11: Had a fun morning shopping at Sam's Club and Lowes, buying Emma a new dress and baby dolls for Lizzy at the DI, and eating at "Five Guys Burgers," which was reeeeeally yummy! In the afternoon we got a brand new puppy from a KSL ad online. We're so excited to have her! She's a little black and white maltepoo.

Sun 2/27/11: We went to visit Aunt Marian and Uncle Gordon this afternoon, and brought our new puppy with us. We talked, played Nerts with Marian, and then we had a very tasty dinner: ICE CREAM SUNDAES. Scott and Emma were very pleased!

Mon 2/28/11: I had a fun day with our new puppy. I think her name is "Miko." She looks like a Miko. Lizzy and I had fun playing with Miko outside and taking her for a walk. Miko reminds me of a cat sometimes. She pounces on things the way a cat would, and she likes string and the laser pointer.
