Valentine's Day

We had a great Valentine's weekend. On Saturday, we had a delicious steak lunch with some friends of ours. On Sunday, Bret made mizithra spaghetti like they serve at the Spaghetti Factory. It was so, so yummy! We even had sourdough bread, spumoni ice cream and Italian cream sodas. To celebrate as a family we made some Valentine cookies to decorate. I love my husband and kids so much!

Big Helpers

Max loves to help his Dad fix things. On Monday night Bret was replacing the alternator in our car and Max wanted to help. Before long, Maddie decided she should help to. Bret was letting them put the part in and they thought it was so cool to be fixing the car with Dad.


Earlier in the day on Monday I took this cute picture of Maddie. We had come inside after being outside for a while and she was trying to warm up by the heat vent.

Ice Castles

We have spent the last two weekends in Midway and Bret's parents condo. The first weekend we went up there to relax and spend some time with his parents and sister Jodi and her family. The second weekend we went up there with some of my family for a ski weekend. Both times we visited the Ice Castles at the Zermatt resort. They are amazing!

We couldn't get Maddie to stop licking the walls!
