Valentines Day

We still have Thomas, so I thought it would be fun to make sugar cookies and frost them.  I got my mom's recipe and we had fun decorating them..

Thomas is such a ham.

We got to babysit this little guy.  He was so fun. His family is in our ward, and they wanted to go out to dinner, so we took him for a little while.  As you can see, Jon loved it. :)

New placement

We got a new placement..  This little guy is such a cutie.  He is only 3 months old!!  This is Jordan.  We have had so much fun with him.  He is only supposed to be short term, but I could keep this guy forever.  He is just so cute.

This was just too cute for me to resist.  We have been pretty tired, and it shows right here, but they are just so cute!!

I decided to take the kids to the park this weekend.  It ended up being pretty nice out. It was a little on the chilly side, so we did bundle up, but Thomas had a great time especially.  The neighbors let him borrow this scooter, and he rides it all the time.

He was just all smiles

And a little more fun

This little guy went to be with his dad this week.  It was so hard to let him go.  I got so attached to this little guy.  No one told me how hard this would be.  I cried when I handed him over to his dad.  But dad really wanted him and I was glad to see that.  

Another respite

As we have been waiting for a baby to come our way, which is what we really want, we have been doing respite for our agency.  Respite is when a foster family goes out of town and don't take their foster kids with them.  We enjoy doing respite, because it is always for just a short time and then they go home. :)  This is Maressa.  I was making a cake and she decided to help me.  She is  12 and we had such a good time together.  She was with us just for the weekend, last weekend.

This weekend we got two more kids for respite.  I love these kids to death!!!  They were just so cute. Laynie reminded me so much of my niece Emma when she was little, and Zaid was just fun.  Of course we still have Thomas, and he liked having little kids to play with.  He was so good with him.

The neighbor surprised us with this slide.  It was just sitting on our doorstep.  So we set it up and put it in the Living Room so all the kids could play.  They had so much fun.

I had Choir practice tonight after church and I could hear giggling and laughing.  I had left my phone on the bench with Zaid and Lainey  and when I was done I looked at my phone and saw they were taking pictures...of their feet!! I thought it was so funny.

We had so much fun with these kids.  They even loved going to church with us.  I hope I get to watch these kids more in the future.
