I had one of the best surprises that a girl can have.  Today Randy and Memphis came walking into my classroom with 3 roses.  This morning Randy took the boys to HyVee to get me flowers and each boy picked me a flower!  It was the most adorable thing ever! 
Randy said that Noah was very bummed that he couldn't come and deliver them to me at school. 

The boys getting me my flowers!  Don't they look so happy?!?

Memphis delivering the flowers!


Memphis playing!
Flowers and note on my desk!  (do you like my flower vase?)


Sunday February 10

This morning Noah was getting ready to go to Sunday School as I was getting ready to go to brunch with my friend JoAnna.  Noah looks at me and says that he would like his picture taken as he looks very nice and because Dad needs a good picture of him on his phone!  HA!  This kid makes me laugh. 
Such as when I was putting Noah to bed last night, Randy says hey if he left his lights (Noah uses Christmas lights for his night light) plugged in he doesn't get to have them on tonight (a rule we have so that Noah learns about conserving energy and just plain taking responsibility!).  So as we are walking up the stairs and Randy is telling us this, Noah turns to me and says, "Jenny I will guarantee you that the lights are unplugged!"  Guess what they were unplugged!  Then as we reach the top of the stairs he turns and looks at me and says, "Be careful my nerf guns are all over up here as I was really playing with them today."  Okay, you might be wondering how come he had to warn me, well we now have Noah go upstairs to his room in the dark so that if there would be a fire he would be able to find his way out or if we lost power he wouldn't be scared but could get downstairs if he was able too!  The kid is awesome, he is able to find his lights plug them in and get into bed. 

You are right Noah you do look good!!!!

Saturday February 9

This morning I helped with the administering of the ACTs at the high school.  While there, Peggy sends me a picture of the boys.  As she was watching all of the grandkids!

Zach, Noah and Memphis all watching TV!

Later that night we headed to Creston to celebrate my Grandpa's Birthday.  The kids had a blast playing and we had a nice dinner and dessert!  However, I was a dumb dumb and forgot the camera and didn't think to take any pictures with our phones!


Wednesday February 6

Well a quick up date on my progress of running.  1) It still sucks! 2) I feel better 3) I can now run for 6 minutes without stopping 4) I like to run when Ellen is on TV, makes for time to go much faster!

Okay so I still have a long way to go for my running but each day/week it gets a tiny bit easier.  And I officially registered for the Glow Run in April.

We haven't done much this week just the normal grind of daily work and playing with the kiddos!
This weekend we head to Creston again to celebrate my Grandpa's Birthday. 




Tuesday February 5

Last night I thought it would be cute to get a picture of Memphis sitting and watching TV...which is absolutely adorable!  However, as I am trying to get a picture with Randy's phone, my wonderful husband sticks his head in front of the camera!  So I thought I would share that picture today of my goofy and adorable husband!


Sunday February 3

Super Bowl Sunday!  We headed to Tyler and Tori's house for the Super Bowl.   My Dad, Tara and Emma were all there and we had a nice time playing and watching the game.  Gotta say that the commercials were pretty good this year.  I was impressed with a few of them.
Tori, Memphis and I all watching the game!

Memphis and I snuggling before bed and finishing up watching the game...not for sure who is more tired in this picture?!

Friday February 1

Tonight we headed to Creston to see my cousin KC who was in from Florida for a few days to celebrate his dad's (my uncle) Birthday.  My Uncle Kim turned 60 today!  Happy Birthday Kim!

It was very nice to catch up with KC and to finally introduce him to Randy and Memphis.  It is hard to believe that they had never met before but I do not think I had seen KC since 2009 so it had been a while!  Tracy (my cousin, KC's sister) and her little girl Cameron were there and so it was a mini reunion of the cousins (well minus Tyler and Brandon!).  Dad, Grandpa and Emma also came over to Kims and we all sat around talking and eating some delicious chocolate cake (which I had to take a couple bites of and then walk away...omg that cake was so good I was afraid if I sat down to eat a whole piece I would have had more than one...YUM!)
