Love and birthdays

We had a fun valentines and birthday weekend. We didn't do anything crazy, but it was good. Max and I made dinosaur sugar cookies. Honestly, I only had that shape and so we made it "heart"-y by saying "you are Dino-mite!" They were delicious! We decided to go out to dinner as a family. We went to costa vida. YUM! Win for Costa Vida for having a bubble tank that mesmerized our children. We had so much fun together. It was a great evening!

I tried on my wedding dress this weekend at my parents. It fit me after 2 babies! I feel so good! I've been able to run more lately and I love it!

On my birthday we went to visit a family member in the hospital and take breakfast to them. It was great! (The visit and breakfast, not the hospital part) I went up to Draper with Kim and Lauren and then over to grandma's house for lunch. I love sharing my birthday with my grandma. 99 years old. Really? That's amazing! She is such a fabulous woman and has done so much in her 99 years of life. She is classy and regal. I wish I knew her better but I'm so grateful for the birthday connection we have. She's such a great example and I want to be like her!

It was so great spending time with my mom and sisters for lunch. I look forward to birthday lunches! I have such an awesome family. My wonderful mom always makes my birthday so great. I'm so lucky! 

George and Max spent the day together and when they got home we all went out to dinner. We went to Texas Roadhouse and ate soo much food. We haven't been to restaurants very much and Max doesn't really know the right way to act. He was obsessed with the animal heads they had on the wall and was devastated that he couldn't take them home. 

I love my little family. George is so great and considerate and he loves me and our kids so much. I can tell that 27 will be a great year!

Lauren LOVED the park today

Lauren and Max love each other so much. The other day Max did something not very nice to Lauren and we were trying to get him to say sorry. We were starting to get frustrated him when our sweet baby went to him and gave him a hug and a kiss and he said he was sorry and everything was better. It was such a great example to me of pure Christlike love. It's amazing what we can learn from a child.
