Sweethearts and Superbowls

We went to Utah this past weekend. My cute grandparents were chosen to receive the annual "Sweetheart" award at the Snow College Institute this year. The institute has chosen a couple each year for the past 33 years who exemplify LDS standards of marriage and family. We went to see them receive their award and listen to the tributes and talks given at the fireside. They have been married for almost 52 years now and are a prime example of what marriage, family, and church service should be. They both served honorable missions and have worked in the Manti temple for the past 22 years!!! I heard some great stories that I never knew about them and enjoyed watching them receive this well-deserved honor. I am so blessed to have them as my grandparents and am grateful for the legacy that they are leaving for me and my family. They are amazing!!! Love you grandma & grandpa!

Kids and spouses


Love those shoes!



One of the many laughing episodes over the weekend

We were able to meet up with my sister-in-law, Natalie while she was here visiting from Virginia. (she barely made it home between the crazy snowstorms back there) We met for lunch and then the girls (minus Addy) went to a play. We are soooo excited for her and Jared to have their baby in April!


We stayed at Seth's house on Saturday and celebrated his and his brother's birthday by going bowling and eating ice-cream cake!


Stockton seriously won with a score of 158. It was the high score of the night!



I asked Seth to be my Valentine with a waffle fry


This cake was amazing...

Birthday boys

I think the next picture is hilarious. Every time I look at it or think of it I bust up laughing...it could have been because I was right there and witnessed it in person. Seth was only slightly aggravated that I took time to find a camera and also bring Stockton over to point at it before I got him a towel to wipe off his face. haha.

Yes, that is SPIT-UP!!!
(side note: we were having a debate on what was worse because when Addy was first born she squirted poop all over me once (almost twice) while I was changing her diaper...We decided we were even, because poop is worse than spit-up, but face is worse that body...TMI?)


Chillin' before the superbowl started

Seth's family hosts a big Superbowl party each year. It mostly consists of eating yummy food then the men watch the football game while the women sit around the kitchen table talking...We haven't been there for a few years so it was really fun! We left late Sunday night because Seth had to be at work on Monday morning...but the drive was pleasant; Addy slept the WHOLE time and Seth and I had a great conversation. Some of our best conversations have been during the long drives to Utah and back. All in all, excellent weekend!
