Monday morning I started working on a service project that our church Relief Society is doing.  We are making hygiene kits for Days for Girls.

After school I took Cole back to the orthodontist for another BROKEN retainer.  He made it 6 weeks without breaking, but now we are back at square one!

Cole went to the symphony on Tuesday for school.  He dressed up so handsome!

Wednesday was an exciting day for Shawn because his long awaited for office furniture finally came. Here he is enjoying his new office!

Here is a random snap shot of Liv and Cole doing there reading in the morning before school.

Liv and her friends came with me to Young Women's Wednesday night and got to do some crafts with us.

We also got a fun package from Aunt Brooke with a fan for Liv that they picked up when they were in Thailand over the Holidays. 

Ethan had another ski trip on Thursday after school so I didn't see him until 9pm, but this is what he spends most of his time doing lately..........face time and snapchat!

Friday afternoon Shawn and I went for massages and a nice lunch date.  We went out to dinner as a family and then took Ethan and his buddies to the high school basketball game.  Cole decided he wanted to go also so Shawn and I took Liv and Cole back over to the game.  We made sure NOT to sit by Ethan and embarrass him.  Cole ditched us as soon as the game started and sat by his friends.  I was able to sneak a picture of him sitting across the way on the front row.

Saturday morning Ethan had his first Young Men basketball game at 8am.  We lost, but it was fun.  We were short a few players at the beginning so Cole even got to play a little.

Shawn was working Saturday, but the kids and I went out to dinner with our neighbors!

I took a picture of this text between Ethan and his friend, I thought it was funny

 Cole and his friend spent time making Valentines for a special "girl", which they delivered Sunday morning at church.  Cole was so nervous, but it was pretty cute!

We enjoyed getting lots of fun valentine packages in the mail and the kids had fun parties at school on Friday.  Saturday afternoon Ethan and his buddy broke the window in the basement, that was not fun:(

Liv and I made chocolate covered strawberries for Sunday dinner after church.

I tried something new Monday morning.  Hot Yoga!  It was weird and awesome and interesting all at the same time :)  Shawn would NEVER do it with me, but I'm open to try anything once!

We played games this week after FHE Monday night.  Cole chose apples to apples.

Shawn bought a new car on Tuesday.  No its wasn't really planned, he just came home from work and decided he wanted to trade my car in.  So he did.  We got rid of the old Pilot and got one of the new Pilots.  So not a crazy change, just a little upgrade.

Tuesday night we went out to dinner at Jose's Blue Sombrero for Liv's Gymnastic Team Fundraiser.  There homemade Guacamole is our favorite!

Wednesday night we had a fun joint Young Women and Young Men activity.  We played a bunch of fun games and finished this night with Family Feud!

Thursday Shawn and I went to Orange Theory Class and then I helped in Liv's class.  Liv had gymnastics and Ethan had futsal.

Friday night was busy for the kids.  Liv went to a fun birthday party/sleepover, Cole went to a fun birthday party and played bubble ball, and Ethan went to Skyline with his friend.  Shawn and I actually got a dinner date in between all of that.

Shawn worked all day on Saturday.  Ethan had futstal in the morning, Cole had his last two basketball games of the season, and Liv had gymnastics.

 Saturday night we stayed home and watched a movie and got the house cleaned up and ready for the next week.  Cole went grocery shopping with me.  Needless to say we came home from the store with a lot of junk :)  He is terrible to shop with!

We had a nice relaxing Sunday.  We ate a nice dinner, and watched a little football.  Ethan and I went to a Special Stake Youth Presentation in the evening.
