Life with the Valentines.

We have now been with my parents for two weeks!! Zach loves it! There is always someone to play with.


Zach doing a little paper craft. He was entertained for quite awhile cutting paper and taping them while my mom did her sharing time next to him.



We took Zach sledding in the back yard. I was a little worried he would be scared because the hill is steep and quite long. He loved it.
Mark is playing basketball with my Dad and brother Adam. Mark is the one in the green shirt and has the ball



Zach is obsessed with all of my brothers nurf guns. He constantly has one and is shooting people.


Grace eating peaches. If there is one thing that is similar to Grace and Zach it is food. They both love to eat!

Happy Birthday JAMI

I have the BEST sister ever. Today was her birthday and she let me and my kids come trash her house for the day. She fed us lunch and everything. This is one of the best things about living back in Utah....being able to hang out with my sister.

Happy birthday Jami. Hope you had a good day. I had super fun hang out today!


Sorry no pictures. Maybe someday I can get our pictures uploaded to the camera.

5 Year Anniversary

Yesterday mark and I celebrated our 5th year wedding anniversary. Unfortunely, Mark was sick....but got to stay home from work. So, it ended up being a great day. We didn't do much be I decorated our table and made dinner for us after the kids were in bed. It was so enjoyable to eat dinner without the kids. Mark suprised me with a wedding band!!!! When we got married we decided not to get one and that we would get one later on. I was completely shocked. Mark hasn't talked about getting me one since we first got married. It was a wonderful anniversary.

Zach and Grace

I love this picture. it looks like Mark and I have been zapped to babies (has anyone ever seen sky high? Sort of embarrised that i have, it is really dumb, but there is a part when all the adults are turned into babies)

Quiet Time

Zach doesen't really take naps anymore, but I do make him take a quiet time. I usually lock him in his room. He is really good about playing for a couple hours! but this is what his room usually ends up looking like.

Terrible Twos Vs. My Sweet Zach




There are moments I have with Zach that i just want to scream!!

*The other day I came out of the shower with a flooded bathroom. He had scooted a chair into the bathroom and turned the water on, plugged the drain and was playing in the water while it was over flowing on to the floor.
*During nap time he loves to take all of his cloths out of his drawer.
*He thinks it is great fun to take Graces binkie and hide it. (I have found it under the TV, under the table cloth, in drawers, in his toy box, etc).
*He drags chairs into the kitchen and gets into the cupboards, dumping crackers and cereal all over the floor.
*I often find him straddling Grace like a horse and bouncing.
*Zach fed Grace an Oreo

(i'm sure these are all typical of a two year old)

On the other hand Zach is the sweetest little boy

*while I was feeding Grace he came over and started brushing his fingers through Grace's hair and said "pretty hair, pretty hair"
*today at the store Zach said, completely out of the blue, "Mom, i want a hug"
*A couple days ago I got out of the shower and Zach came up to me with a shirt he must of gotten out of my closet and said "This is a cute one" (I have a new favorite shirt)
*In the evening when he is getting tired he will often ask for his bebe (blanket) and say that he wants to snuggle.
*today Zach told me he was happy


It is these cute moments that make being a stay at home Mom the best job!
