Family Time


The first weekend of February, I took a half day off work on Friday and headed down to Provo to spend some time with these kids before they leave me and move to Boise. It was a super fun weekend!
Can you believe how big and how cute my little Izzy is? I will miss his little face so much when they move! I might just be trekking up to Boise every other weekend just to kiss these cheeks.

Kara and I had some craft time that night and made these cute names.
On Saturday, the Grossen's came down to go to the BYU basketball game (Jimmer fever around here!!). I got to babysit my little Sophie Bug. These cousins sure love each other. My first little crushes were on my cousins, so I think these two probably will be best little buddies.
And I got to play with this kid before they left for the game. He might be the smartest, funniest kid in town. I love my Jack Jack soooo much!

Me and my three most favorite babies! Isaac looks so jolly and Sophie looks so distressed. I love it!
On Sunday we all met at the Grossen's for our annual Super Bowl party. I had zero interest in the game, but it was a good excuse for a party with lots of good food. These two couldn't keep their eyes off the game. Gotta love Amy and Dan's new Sony Bravia!
I may have lost a lot of weight in recent months, but my calves are still the hugest things on the planet earth. It's ok...I like them. They are pretty much all muscle and they work well for getting me from point A to point B. Can't complain too much! This is a great shot of those bad boys!

The crew watching the game. The amount of food we had was out of this world. I have to list it so I never forget: 7 layer dip and chips, stuffed mushrooms, taquitos, wings, Muddy Buddies, M&M's, raspberry pie, pizza, homemade ice cream, vegetable tray, salad, soda, and chocolate chip cookies. Needless to say, it was temptation island for me. I tried to stick to the vegetable tray and salad as much as possible, but food is so dang good!Speaking of eating unhealthy food. The results of my ultrasound came back positive for gall stones. Joy of joys! The doctors says it's totally up to me to have my gall bladder removed or not. He said I can try to eat really healthy and just deal with the attacks when they come, or I can have it removed. I'm not going to die either way. I'm leaning toward getting it taken out. Who wants to stress out every single time you eat something not healthy? A girl needs a burger and fries every now and then! I will keep you posted!

Other adventures that have happened in February so far include watching every BYU basketball game, lots of fun time with friends, a snowshoeing date with a certain boy, and lots and lots of boy drama (both my own drama and my friends' drama, when it rains, it pours!). It makes for an interesting life! Every day is a new adventure! I feel like I'm 16 again (though I don't remember having much boy drama in the teenage years), and my acne face makes me look like I'm 16 again as well. I think it's stress-related. I need a long vacation!
