HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Happy Belated Valentine's Day to everyone near and far!

We've had a busy week around here, but we've really enjoyed having Grammie here to help and visit, and momma and daddy actually got to go out on a date night! It was super fun, complete with interesting and highly entertaining conversation. We joined the Forshee's Friday night at the Trapper Creek Lodge and Supper Club for a "Nathan/Kyle/Adrienne birthday /Valentine dinner." We had not visited with them (nor been out without children) for quite a while, so it was a blast to just relax, have a glass of wine and "talk big kid talk." We stopped in Greybull on the way home and ran into some other friends, so we got to catch up with a lot of people that night. We actually stayed out past midnight, which I told Grammie I don't remember the last time I was up that late. We thank Grammie a ton for watching the kids so late and are grateful for our time with good friends.

Our beautiful babes are doing well and growing strong. Beckett rolled over a few times again this week, and he's starting to sleep through the night more often than not. Nattie got a hair cut the other day, which was supposed to be just a trim, but momma got a little carried away and it ended up a bob cut. Regardless, she looks adorable and loves it. No matter what, it's easier to comb, which makes it all worth it!

We got back from Hyattville this afternoon after celebrating Grandma Phyllis's birthday last night and staying over to go to church this morning. We had a big family dinner that was delicious and even got to enjoy some music by Aunt Pam and Uncle Terry. It is really fun to hear them play their strings together. We also got a special visit with Uncle Nick and Great Grandpa Chauncey at Jill's this morning.

She started to help feed Beckett this week, and he has started feeding himself sometimes, too.

And here we are all dressed up for our date night...it was so much fun!
Well, we hope you all have a blessed week and stay happy and healthy. It's great that our friend's baby Tanner is recovering well out of the hospital now, but I just talked to Suzi yesterday and now her baby Gracie has the RSV respiratory infection, too. They have not hospitalized her yet, but they are doing breathing treatments and keeping a close eye on her. Please keep them in your prayers. We love and miss you all and can't wait to see some of you soon next month! Hugs to all.
