Forever February

Well, February started out terrific with a visit from Whitney for her birthday weekend.

We attended Eva and Sophie's Yball games,

got a pedicure

 

We splurged on these delicious CRUMBL cookies

and went out to dinner at Tucanos
 
 
On Sunday we celebrated Whitney's birthday with the family

This is one special girl!

Her new backpacking chair

Valentine's Day was kind of a bummer,

Tom and I went out to lunch and had tomato soup and grilled cheese,

but I was getting a cold and I had to serve at the temple that night, so

it wasn't much of a romantic celebration.

I did get "heart attacked" by the young women in the ward

which made me very happy.

Devin, Sarah, Tom, Jonathan, and the Anderson's drove up to the high country the next weekend

for a yurt adventure.

I volunteered to stay home and babysit Tommy, Eva and Sophie.
First activity, Tommy and I made and decorated Valentine's cookies.

We had Sophie and Eva's basketball games on Saturday, so we 

had to get to those (of course at different school gyms)

but afterwards we celebrated with a trip to Chick Fil A

The snow showers got home later that afternoon

so we went out to dinner with Jonathan and showed him around

Freak Alley in downtown Boise.

Tom, Devin, Sarah, Eva and Sophie

went skiing up at Bogus Basin the next weekend and I offered

to watch Tommy.

He arrived bright and early

He ate a delicious breakfast of yogurt, eggs and toast.

We had the craziest weather in February.

It rained or snowed every single day!

We got like 12" of snow in the month of February.
That is why February seemed to last forever!

The last weekend in February we took a road trip with our friends the Manwarings to Utah.

Friday night we ate at R & R Barbecue

We stayed with Whitney and on Saturday, Tom went skiing with an old mission

companion up to Snowbird and Whitney and I went to the Jordan River temple.

Then we went out to lunch at Spitz.

I love the Mediterranean salad.

After lunch we met our friends at the Hale Center Theater

for their production of An American in Paris.

We went with Patricia and her son Saylor and his friend Andrew.

It was a great show and fun to be with them.

Afterwards we all went to dinner at the 

Village Bakery.

We drove home on Sunday morning and thankfully had great roads!
So glad to see March just around the corner.
