It is already time for Whitney to register for her 9th grade classes (how did that happen so fast?!). She applied (along with 110 other kids) to be in the yearbook class. This involved getting two teacher recommendations, submitting 5 photos she'd taken, and filling out the application questions. (I'm happy to report she got in!)
Whitney and her friends were standing outside the office one day during lunch time so I started taking pictures of them.
Amie's daughter Jessica is a senior in high school and is also enrolled in beauty school so I scheduled an appointment to have her give me a manicure. I've known Jessica since she was 4 so it's kind of crazy that she's so grown up now.
Michelle and I met up with Collette for her birthday lunch on February 6th.
Michelle and I went to Pebbles in My Pocket after lunch and found all kinds of cute things (I am addicted to tags) and ended up buying stuff to make Valentines.
I love coming home to find Landon doing his homework!
Saturday February 7th was so glorious that Whitney and I read outside for an hour!
Junie basked in the sun next to us.
Randy and I went to dinner at La Costa with Adam and Amy while the girls hung out at home.
My visiting teaching companion and I did a 3 minute stint on visiting our sisters regularly during our Relief Society Visiting Teaching Conference. I had Randy make this poster for me to show how we're all connected through visiting teaching...I love it!
Sometimes you just gotta take a nap horizontally across the bed with your feet hanging off and no blankets or pillow...what the?!
Our Valentine making day was a success! Michelle made treat bags for her visiting teaching people and a bunch of cute Valentines to mail. I made treat bags for my co-workers and book club friends.
I got this funny Valentine in the mail from Natalie S. It's the only one I got.
I read in the cozy every day, this time Landon stopped in and grabbed my phone for a selfie.
We read Man's Search For Meaning last week for Bookclub and all loved it. I'm always reluctant to read non fiction and concentration camp type books because they're so rough on my soul, but this was super inspiring.
I gave this bottle of cuteness to my Secret Pal.

Love the tag you put on your secret pal's bottle. Our Valentine's Day involved a three hour car ride to nowhere in Mardi Gras traffic that caused us to miss our dinner reservation.
Luci hasn't mentioned anything about classes next year but I know she does plan on taking speech. She will still be at the same school though so I guess it will be awhile before we choose classes. Yearbook sounds fun....I usually say you couldn't pay me enough to be their age again but then sometimes I do wish I could go back in time for a day or two...
those rows of tags at Pebbles in my Pocket are so enticing! I would want some of each of them.
your valentine's edition of CF looks so happy. I love all the red and white.
I wish I had a secret pal!
I'm glad your valentine arrived in one piece, postcards make me nervous!
I was going to send Valentines... then didn't. Blah- Dang it! I am suffering from the winter blues- still- and for no real reason. UGH
I love that Whitney got into the class! *HOoray*
Also I wish I lived closer to Aime's daughter!! GReat job
PS I love when you blog
So much happiness in this post. Nice weather... Collette... Pebbles... Valentines...naps...reading...Creative Friday... Thanks for sharing!
I love catching up with you via the blog. That pebbles store sounds wonderful. I've just about used up all the tags you sent me for my birthday in July. This is no hint, just a great big appreciation that you like tags and sent me some!
