February Randoms

February was filled with a lot of dreary snow days, but we managed to get through it. Here's are randomness from the month. 

Poor Lizzie just can't quite see over Mishell's hair!

Devin and I went on a date to the temple, except I forgot my temple recommend, so instead we roamed Target. Oops.

We actually thought ahead and did a fun Valentine's Activity for the kids where we put a new heart on their door each day, telling them something we love about them. 

This diet coke can just really made me happy (and I think this means I have posted pictures of diet coke two months in a row. That's kind of embarrassing)

After the kids caught on to what we were doing with the hearts on their doors, they started doing one for us each night too. Here is my favorite...they love that I love my "self-phone". But how true is that misspelling???

For a few months I had the privilege of having almost weekly Thursday lunch dates with this great woman. This is Laurie, a coworker of mine at the hospital. She's one of a kind- truly and I loved our time together. She was out on disability and thought she would never be able to come back, but miraculously, she has come back recently! So yay. But I will miss our Thursday lunches.

This should be on the lizzie post, but oh well. This is the little lady's newest favorite toy. Glad for any entertainment we can get!

Mishell has been to multiple boy/girl parties these days--holy smokes, am I old enough for this???

My Utah Adoption Specialists group and our adoptive parent board hosted an adoption social. We had an ice skating party that was a ton of fun! I took Lizzie out in the carrier for a while, but then the guy told me that actually was not allowed...Oops. It makes sense really, because how good am I at ice skating?? Not good. They did allow strollers on the ice though, so we will remember that for next time.

Some of my coworkers (minus Lauren) and two of our board members. It such a blessing to associate with such amazing women.

The kids on Valentine's Day. 

UAS also hosted our next series of training classes. We had such a large crowd this time that we had to move locations last minute! It was a ton of work, but awesome as usual.

Our poor van-- it has been such a trusty car, but it really is ugly. Devin and Hallie were headed out on a date night and were rear ended and of course the person drove off. So awesome--not. It was the last straw for the poor van and we finally decided to get rid of it. We now have a new van- I think pictures are in the March bunch. I truly felt sad when this van drove away though...how weird is that????

We have been wanting to do DNA testing for Mishell and Flor for a long time!! We finally sent in their samples and we are anxiously awaiting their samples to come back!

Dad and Jace went to Boondocks for their date night and went bowling. Sounds like they had a blast.

 

It was my co-worker Kim's last day at ORMC this day. I will really miss her! We became good friends, but the good news is that we can still be friends outside of work. Ha. It is kind of lonely being the only Kim, though!
