Valentine's Day and MM and Pops

This is going to be VERY long.  

My computer has been updating my pictures for what seems like a month now.  

Brody had a birthday party for one of his best friends at school.  She is the sweetest and they have such a good friendship, but she is a girl....and he was the only boy invited from his class.  But the thing about Brody, he didn't really care.  

And honestly, they played together the entire party and had a great time.  

They watched how she drew a unicorn or a horse and the kids followed the directions.  

It was a great party. 

Then we had a party for one of Mason's friends at a jump place.  He goes to their school and lives down the street so Brody thinks he is his friend as well.  Thankfully, they invited Brody too, so he was happy. 

Finished the last bedroom upstairs.  Only had to paint it because I couldn't find touch up paint.  

But it looks so much better. 

Surprised the boys with lunch last week.  

(Forgot to take Mason's picture)

Had to start working on Valentines for class. 

We stuck with the store-bought and I was totally okay with it. 

Both boys wanted to do the same ole' open mouth box again. 

Mason and John bought me some starburst jelly beans which was super thoughtful!
They are my fav.

All things red.

I was able to help with both valentines' parties.

We also made some fun brownies.
It's about as fancy as we went.

Mickey Mouse and Pops came in town, and we were all so excited.

Lunchdates. 

I had an interview thrown in the middle.

We were able to enjoy beautiful weather for the first couple of days. 

And John and I got to go to eat alone.
Of course we were back before the kids even went to sleep.  Ha.

Saturday was Mom's 70th birthday.  Before we could celebrate, we had basketball.

Cheering on the Horned Frogs with his horn.

Mom wanted to check out Nebraska Furniture Market and it was amazing.  I cannot even explain how cool and giant this place was.

Terrible picture due to the light but we went to Pappasito's for an early dinner.

And then had cake!

Sunday morning we had a fun brunch.

Photo cred: Mason

And John got fried Sunday at baseball practice....

Mom and I got our nails done.

And Mason wanted to take them to In and Out to experience it for the first time.
They had to leave Tuesday morning and we were so sad to see them go.  Until next time!

Brody LIVES for Mason's basketball practice.  They scrimmage at the end and he loves to join.  Unfortunately, he didn't get the invite this week.  Ha.
