Valentines...

So I have to share my Singles Ward "Valentine" experience. My singles ward currently is meeting with another singles ward. We have our own sacrament and relief society/elders quorum meetings and we then meet all together for sunday school. It is different and Im not sure how I feel about it but at least the other ward has good looking men which makes things more bearable :) anyway... this last sunday was the day before Valentines Day. We went about our regular sunday and when us girls got released from relief society we went out in the hall to see the men from the other ward standing in the foyer with roses. They had gotten roses for all the girls in the ward. We all stood there in shock and watched as each girl walked out excited and we just sat ther staring. Ha ha... I literally felt like I was in a movie. All I could think about was "why don't the men in our ward do thoughtful things" After watching this for a few minutes we finally turned away and walked out. I was a little bummed but oh well... I told my mom the story which she thought was pretty funny. Then on Valentines day she brought my cute niece into my work with a dozen roses :) and a cute valentine that Brinsley threw on the floor when my mom told her to hand it to me... ha ha!! That was much better than any single rose from a guy :) Thanks mom... Love you!!!


Then the day after Valentines Day my dad generously took us out to dinner an La Caille!!! It was super super yummy!!! Thanks dad... Best Valentines day ever!!!

Pittsburgh to visit Tiffany and the Twins!!!

Last week I was lucky enough to go to Pittsburgh for a whole week to visit Tiffany and the babies... We had so much fun hanging out, catching up, doing embarrassing things, playing with the babies, shopping, movies and lots of yummy food!!! Here are some things we did...

Panera Bread!!! I heard this place was good but really IT WAS AMAZING!!! We ate there multiple times and I even have to get bagels to take home... Probably one of my most favorite places... Yummy... Im craving it bad!!!!

Hallie got her ears pierced... I don't know who was more traumatized Tiffany or Hallie... ha ha... but she sure looks cute!!!
We went to the Phipps Conservatory and it was so cool!!! I loved all the different rooms with flowers and Bonsai trees and Tiffanys favorite Orchids. It was so much fun and smelled yummy!!! It made me feel like it was summer again... almost :)

So pretty...

Tiffanys favorite flower...

in my favorite color (purple)

We did a lot of shopping... they have an H&M in Pittsburgh so of course we had to go twice and Hallie and Emerson were so patient. They even fed themselves :)

Photo shoot!!! There were many more pictures taken but I only put up this one... They are both so freaking adorable and I got to spend a whole afternoon with them while Tiffany went to Darrens school... Lets just say the twins probably think Im crazy... ha ha

My little thug... :)

This is the city!!! So pretty...

We took the Incline up the hill to see an even more beautiful view

Here it is!!! I loved it up here.

many more views... all the bridges along the river

This is a shout out to Greg and Pam... I am pointing at the Steelers stadium right on the river...

I have always wanted to go to Dave and Busters... I have seen a million commercials for it and of course Utah doesn't have one so I had to experience it... and lets just say I had a blast!!! We played some super fun games. Skeeball, Deal or No Deal, Horse racing, car racing and a trivia game. We also ate some yummy snack food and won enough coupons for nerd ropes!!! ha ha... I will not tell you how many games we played to get them :)

Tiffany winning the most coupons at Skeeball


SCORE!!!

Thanks Tiffany for all the laughs and great memories!!! Thanks for everything!!! Give the little ones hugs and kisses from me :)
