For Tai's birthday Jake and Kristi's family sent her a giftcard to Build-a-Bear that I finally took her to use! I showed her all the cute Frozen bears they had and the cute unicorns and even the My Little Ponies, BUT once she saw the pink sloth it is all that she wanted! She still named it Elsa though and picked out the 'Into the Unknown' song to put in the hand. She tells me all the time how much she loves Elsa "slofff"
That was our date night while Kyle was taking Kasen to his first Jazz game, but while we were at the mall Kyle asked us if we wanted to come because Melanie and Hayden weren't able to go. So we hurried to meet Kyle and Kasen and all went to the Jazz game together!
Kasen was having so much fun cheering and clapping for the Jazz for the first half and then I think he got tired. Tai was having more fun playing with her earplugs too. But it was fun, even though the Jazz were up the entire game then lost by 3 points in the last few minutes!
The next day we actually had enough snow to go sledding! (After having a "snow day" on Monday when zero snow existed at our house.) The kids all made a snowman together that they named Buster Woody Gleue.
Kasen had all of his class Valentines ready early because Kyle planned a Valentine's roadtrip for us that made Kasen miss his Valentines Day party at school. I love that he thought of the friends in his class and wrote most of their names all by himself.
Tai even requested to write a couple Valentines to Dad and Peeka and Wissa.
We also make some pink, strawberry milkshake cookies to take for his snack day that week.
For Kyle's Valentine's gift we all went to Cabela's to pick out a new fishing pole for him, since his last one fell off the boat at Flaming Gorge last summer. We were there for over 2 hours! Which gave Kasen plenty of time to name most of their fish in the aquarium. There was Dory, Ursula, Itchy, Schluter, and lots of other funny ones I can't remember.
Other things I want to remember:
-Tai telling me all the time "I love you" but now it's "Mom, I just love you and I love your baby."
-When Kasen told me that chicken nuggets are croutons with chicken inside and that is why they are called chicken.
-How Tai calls people "Goosey" when she is being silly, how she pumps both her arms when she blows her nose, the way she says "uh-huh" to affirm anything and her crazy eyes when she rolls them to the top of her head.
-I love that Kasen loves watching AFV with me and wants to make funny videos to send in now.
-When Tai asks for a PB&J she really only wants a jelly sandwich. After so many times of her peeling her PB&J apart and eating only the jelly side I finally learned! Although anything she can pull apart to eat piece by piece she will.
-This week Kasen went running to the bathroom to go pee. Tai must have been in there because when I heard the loud slamming shut of the toilet lid, Tai gasped, "Kasen! Your pee pee almost got smoooshed!" It was the hardest I'd laughed all week.
-She bites her nails, has passed out from crying too hard before breathing twice now, and comes in our room in the night to let us know we didn't check on her, but she is still the cutest ever!
-Kasen puts his blanket over his heater vent to get warm when he finds in on and is always amazing us with things he remembers from a long time ago. He's too smart.
