Banks get soo excited to open letters in the mail.  And whats better than opening a letter to him in the mail?  A letter WITH STICKERS!  Thanks for making his day, Pa pa!

MMM, loaded beef drip sandwich.  See recipe here: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2010/02/drip-beef-two-ways/  (She describes two different ways to make her sandwich, I do the FIRST way and add sauteed veggies to a toasted bun)

I had to show this because we have been so lucky with the mildest February weather.  This seriously has been the average temp for the last couple weeks!!  (My tulips and daffodils have been coming up for awhile now too!)

My right hand man!  Loves helping mommy in the kitchen!

Banks had SOO Much fun celebrating his best friend Jada Lynch's 3rd birthday last week.  They got to play at the Provo Beach Resort, Ride the carousal, and eat lunch together!

Lots of park days for us.  Trying to take advantages of this beautiful (uncharacteristic) February!

Jeff's job is to arrange my food and photograph it for me.. he usually does a killer job.  But today I think he was extra hungry, and it was more of an after thought haha.  His Valentines Breakfast: French toast and loaded sweet potato-bacon hash.
