Monday For Valentine's FHE the kids and I made heart shaped pizzas and Valentine hearts for JR. I asked them to write why they loved him on their hearts. Allison said "because He fixes things" and Gracie said "because He loves me. " Sweet!
JR wasn't supposed to be home until Saturday but He surprised us and showed up Friday night! I was so happy to see him. He had been gone for 16 days! He surprised me with flowers and a trip to the spa, which was really sweet!
While He was here this week we were kind of busy but we made time to take the kids to the Aquatic Center in Lehi. That was the first time we have ever gone there. They have an indoor kids pool with slides and water squirters and all of that fun stuff. And they have a little lazy river and some other fun things. The kids had a blast! We will definitely go there again soon. Every day since the kids have asked if we are going back.
JR left this morning. WAAAA! The 14 day countdown begins. Time for me to figure out which project to work on while He is gone. I have a ton to do, but I am in the mood for something fun so we will see.

that water place looks like so much fun. I love home made pizza, yummy! I'm still amazed that you did that closet all by yourself. Any new projects lately?

Grandma's Tile Table

Grandma's Tile Table

Tile Table

When my Grandma Johnson's house was being cleaned out we came across some extra tiles from when my Grandpa had tiled her kitchen for her. She loved blue and I'm sure she was delighted when He put up these blue white and brown tiles. Her kitchen was always where family congregated, as she was an excellent cook, and we all spent countless hours there with her and Grandpa. I remember a time when I was pregnant and my Mom and I had driven up to Provo to do some shopping. We talked about going to see grandma before we drove home and I said "Wow, you know I am really craving her apple pie right now! Wouldn't that be awesome if she had baked one today." Well as luck would have it we pulled up just as it was coming out of the oven. She didn't even know we were coming to visit! She had just felt like baking a pie. I have a zillion memories of her in her kitchen and so when her house sold I knew I needed a little piece of something that would stir up good feelings every time I looked at it. Nothing could be more perfect than tiles from her kitchen. So a couple of days ago I finally dug the tiles out and made a mosaic table for my front porch. I love it, and love having a little reminder of her.
