Valentine's Day

 Last Friday night, we got the telescope out to see the lunar eclipse. 

 It was a beautiful night to spend outdoors.
 Saturday morning, we enjoyed a visit from Grandma and Grandpa Heider.  Of course, Cracker Barrel was the place to go then we walked around Toys R Us.
 That afternoon we met the cousins at a park since it was so beautiful outside.  That evening Devyn spent the night with Madi. It was the first time we had a friend spend the night and not just a cousin.  They swam in the hot tub, made cookies and had a great time!
 Monday
 Grandma Mayberry came over Monday afternoon and gave Madi a chocolate Valentine treat.
 Tuesday morning face - she loves a good scavenger hunt so I hid a few clues on hearts for her to find.

 It ended with some fun invisible ink pens to write secret messages!
 Off to school for Valentine's Day!
 Grandma came to help at Madi's class party.
 We had four stations for the kids to enjoy.
 One was a photo booth with fun props!
  Grandma called bingo using conversation hearts as the counters.
 I led the heart toss game that they seemed to love!

 And there was also pin the heart on the fox.
 All were a hit!
 Tuesday evening we had a candle lit dinner at home just the three of us. 
Madi's class - Mrs. Lance and Ms. Jones (student teacher)

 We had Madi's favorite - Lammers taters, steak and shrimp for us!  We watched Finding Dory as a family too by the fire.

 Love watching her dive at swim!
 Friday
 Mrs. Lance posted cute pictures of the students learning about 3-dimensional shapes.
 Friday afternoon we went on a bike ride and stopped at Cup of Yo for a treat!
 While Daddy was grilling ribs Madi wanted to climb the tree.
Thankfully, she made it down safe and sound!

Superbowl!

 We met Uncle Cody, Aunt Shelle and the cousins for lunch after church on Sunday.
We had to take a picture of the cute dress Aunt Shelle bought for Madi.
 Tripp was challenging us all with this word game.  It cracked me up!
 It was so beautiful outside that we met at a park to play while Tripp had basketball practice.
   Then we loaded up and headed to the Henley's house for our Sunday School Superbowl party.  The kids had a blast playing outside while we enjoying visiting and eating yummy fajitas.  No one wanted to leave!
 Monday - GV wanted to get in on the fun too!

Stomach Bug

 Last Sunday evening, we met the Kings for dinner at BJs.  It was long overdue for sure!
The girls enjoyed a cookie and ice cream dessert before we left.
 Monday morning we had to send a text to our sweet Ethan for his 11th birthday!
 Ready for school Monday morning!
 Tuesday!
 The first morning of February Madi woke up to a heart with a message of what we love about her on her bedroom door.  This message was from her Daddy about he loves how she loves to cuddle with him.
 Wednesday
 A friend sent this to me of our sweet girls enjoying lunch time!
Thursday 
 Our house is getting a new paint job!  They're about half way done. 
 Unfortunately, Thursday evening Madi started saying her stomach hurt and then we soon could tell she had the dreaded stomach bug. 
So Friday morning she saw her new heart message and then spent the rest of the day in bed.  She was sad to miss a birthday party that evening and her friend Devyn was supposed to spend the night but we made plans for next weekend instead.
 Thankfully, the bug was short lived but there was still a lot of cuddling going on all day Friday.
 The puppies definitely don't mind more cuddling and lazy days on the couch!
Hopefully, it's behind us and we can enjoy our weekend.
