Romantic Weekend?

Last weekend being Valentines weekend some people have great holiday festivities! This year instead of flowers, chocolates, and cards we replaced it with snow camping, A dance competition, and the Olympics! The kids had both Friday and Monday off of school for the President's Day Holiday. Mason and Jon went camping on Friday with the YM in our ward. They went to Mt. Hood and dug snow caves to sleep in. Mason had a blast and Jon said it was a miserable night's sleep! While they were camping Morgan turned our Family Room into a dance studio pushing ALL the furniture back so she could practice the routines with five other girls. That evening I turned on the Olympics to watch the Opening Ceremonies and I have been hooked ever since! I have been watching it every night and not getting to bed until 12 or 1 AM! My body is feeling tired this week but I'm having so much fun!


The entire day Saturday was dedicated to Morgan's Dance Competition! I went early to help with hair and didn't leave until 5 PM. (Thanks Karen for watching the little girls' all day!) Morgan's Dance Team at Pacific Middle School did great! They placed first in Lyrical and second in Hip Hop!


They did an amazing job on both dances but the Lyrical routine is my favorite!!! I tried to load the video on here but it didn't work! Bummer! She has loooooved being on this Dance Team and especially this year being the one of the Captains and an eighth grader! She has many good friends on the team with her this year and they all have so much fun at the competitions!
This Saturday is her last competition and the most challenging! We will be sad when it's all over! That evening we planned on going to Avatar with some friends for a date night. Plans quickly changed when the movie that has been in Theaters for almost TWO months was SOLD OUT! We were all disappointed, so instead we went to eat shakes and onion rings at a great 50's diner, Stardust Diner! Valentines Day was uneventful!!! Between church, Jon's visits, and a Baptism we were booked. We had a quick dinner of red jello, salad, and heart shaped pizza! This is the only pic I took the whole day!
That evening we watched the NBA All Star Game and then more Olympics! Very Romantic!!:) Monday was Jon's Birthday. We made him breakfast in bed, I took him to lunch at his fav Tai Food Restaurant, and his mom made him his favorite cake!
His 42nd Birthday is one to remember! When he was leaning over the stove to fix our microwave his shirt got caught on fire from our gas burner. Morgan screamed "Dad you're on FIRE!" He calmly extinguished the flame and later told the kids "My quick ninja reflexes still work at 42!":)
We are having another busy weekend! Jon's at a planning retreat for the night, a BIG dance competition tomorrow, basketball practice, bball game, and a Huge Stake Dance with 7 Stakes! Just another relaxing weekend!

You are busy! If it makes you feel better, we didn't even celebrate V day, Casey's parents were in town for the baptism.
Oh, and Casey did the same thing to his shirt a couple years ago on New Years! Leaned over the counter to get food and burned a big hole in his shirt from my votive! Of course it was all MY fault!

I love reading about all of your life's craziness. We wish we could have watched Morgan at the dance competition. You really must send us a copy of her dance- along with a copy of your 40th Birthday video. Hint!! Morgan looks so grown up. We're proud of her skill and tenacity!

Your life kind of overwhelms me and I'm always so impressed with how well you manage it all. Seriously, you're amazing! Great job to Morgan and her team - she looks beautiful in that picture! Hope you have more relaxing weekends in your future (yeah right!)
