Dad and I (and little Noah) were able to escape during school to get a lunch date at Olive Garden.
Turtles on the lake next to our house
My one Valentine's request was a little adventure. So Peter borrowed a truck and 4-wheeler from a friend in residency and we explored the desert behind our neighborhood. It was so fun! Beautiful scenery. We felt like we were in Southern Utah, but it was only minutes from our house. Noah was a peaceful little tag-a-long.
We surprised Joey and Kimball after school and took them on a little adventure. They LOVED it!
Noah passed out again while we waited for the big boys to finish their adventure
Little minion notes and pink cereal to celebrate
Dad's cute surprise for me, and another great surprise was an 80 degree Valentines day!! So we went swimming and layed out in the AZ sun! Ahhhh, so wonderful!
Another great adventure was taking all 5 kids to walk through the open house of the Gilbert, AZ temple. I was nervous taking the whole crew for the 5 hour round trip with super active/talkative kids and a fussy baby who hates the car seat, but it was so worth it! And they all did surprisingly well!
We let Kimball play on the ipod as much as he wanted as long as he kept Noah happy and that pacifier in his mouth
What a wonderful experience to be in the temple!! The spirit was strong and such a peaceful, beautiful place! It was so wonderful to show the kids the blessings that will come to them throughout their lives if they so choose.
After the tour we went to the park across the street to eat a picnic lunch and get all those wiggles out before we headed home.
it was so fun to run around right by the temple
Errie wanted to take a picture of me while we waited for the boys
More pics of cute Noah. He loved to suck on his fingers any way he could get them in there.
Tionne was a great big brother and wanted to share his new football from his dad with Noah
brother time
