February 2024

February 1st we had a 50th birthday celebration for my dad planned. Benson and I needed some mint ice cream for the party so we went to Trader Joe’s. Logan was done with school so he decided to meet us for lunch. I ordered us ChickFila… only to realize I ordered it at the wrong location…. Inside the mall! Ah!

Our party turned out great! Here is the link to that:

my dad’s 50th birthday celebration :)

I posted the link to the blog after the party and went to bed. When I woke up I had many worried texts from my mom wondering where my post went. I guess it got too much attention and Facebook decided it was spam. I was so sad it was taken down! Ridiculous.

Adult life is really here when you use birthday money to buy new silverware. We’ve been trying to get by with a 20 set and it hasn’t been going well. Haha

The best family filled day together!

Suson Park, cleaning the car, bike rides and the park! Such amazing weather!

Shredding styrofoam for a “snow day”

Playing with our new photography light, and meeting doc Carter for lunch and bubbles!

Botanical gardens and nap snuggles.

Practice pictures for our Valentine’s Party + a very Benny outfit!

I try to visit Logan during lunch any chance we get. I know this phase of life is ending quickly!

More fun back at home!

I met the girls to make a candle! It was fun and we all three picked the exact same scent!

Jeep ride that turned into me driving it home on a very low battery!

More practice pictures!

Valentine’s party prep!

We had a great party with some friends!

We saw they opened a Capriotti’s and Logan was beyond excited!

My cutest love bug! Valentine jammies from Grammy!

Our GMC had a part that needed to be replaced, but it was back ordered. It finally arrived and so Ben and I took it to drop off. I’ve never had a good experience at the dealership… and this trip was just as bad as it usually is. Ugh!

We did get a loaner vehicle but it was NOT worth the hassle. Trip to Costco + Target! He would not leave without this tiger shirt.

Friday’s forecast had snow… which we haven’t had any of this year. It said 1-2 inches so I wasn’t too worried about it. We woke up, no snow, got chick Fila and took it over to Sabrina’s house. By the time we were coming home it was hailing… that quickly turned into a mini blizzard!

It’s time for Benny’s 3 year old birthday pictures. How did this year go by so fast?! I can’t wait for the final pics… but it was a blast and I’m so glad Logan could come!

This kids LOVES cherries. He was thrilled when there were so many on top of his ice cream.

The rest of our week we spent time outside as much as possible! 70°!

Just like that… it was take to take off to Utah! Surprise!!

Utah
A busy 4 days visiting family in Utah. :)
