:) We had mucho mucho fun babysitting the kids when Leah and Jason went out for his birthday. Their all acrobats, it's WILD!

fun with nieces and nephews!

The Temple and Sunset.

Elder Westover's HOME from Canada eh?!!!

Elder Westover got home from Candada!!!... and it was SO SO SO FUN because Josh and Colter were able to come down from Utah, Sid and Anna were able to come, Mom and Dad made it from Pittsburgh, Aunt Ellie was there, and of course the rest of us were there! It was so good to see everyone that could be there. We missed Jared and laci (they were there that evening though) John and Sonia, Jospeh and Lisa, and Bekah though. There were so many kids crowding the exit of the gate with signs and balloons I don't think the other passengers getting off the plane knew how to handle it. When Jacob finally got off the plane, it was SO good to see him. He was immediately bombarded by at least 12 excited nieces and nephews the second he crossed over that line. He was released at President Melina's house just after that, and then we all went to the Brown's house to visit and spend some time together. It was so much fun and it's so good to have Jacob home. :)

.....

Catie cut her hair... it was super randomn and spontaneous which is so unlike Catie. It's super cute! Oh... and the picture of the tree and the person lying under it was just excellent. We were at the park playing basketball one day and this person was just napping under this beautiful tree and we couldn't help ourselves.

Sunday Picnicking.... ah... yes!

After excellent Sunday meetings, we came home last Sunday...to an overcast sky and Janell, our roommate suggested that we prepare some sandwiches and things and have a picnick at the temple... So... we did just that. It was beautiful out... we had a nice lunch, and had some time afterward to read our scriptures and write in our journals... So fun!

Red Rover! Red Rover! Send Callyssa right over!

Red Rover was the best part. Besides Leah's delicious Strawberry and Chocolate Ice-cream cake of course. The kids had a fun time with Red Rover for sure... HAPPY BIRTHDAY CALLYSSA! We love you!

Callyssa's BIRTHDAY!!!

Callyssa turned 5 this last sunday (along with Joshua... only he turned a couple years older:)... and she had her birthday party on Valentines Day, Saturday the 14th. Savanna was in charge of games and she did such a good job. They had a treasure hunt, went bowling with cups and rocks, played red rover and some other fun things. (There are a couple that are from babysitting the night before- they were too cute to leave out:)

Girls Night Out... oh and Jared!

So Bekah came back down later in the week so she could see and spend time with the girls and their families before leaving again... so Leah and Julia arranged for the guys to watch the kids so that we could go out and spend some time with eachother. It was so much fun. We went to a fun store named Hobby Lobby first... and then we went to ROSS and we probably had too much there. It was definitely a successful stop... cute clotes for Great buys! LOVE ROSS... you have to! Then we headed back to Leah's house to make and decorate sugar cookies for Valentines day. Jared popped in and hung out with us for a little while, it was a good time. We didn't go home until like midnight, but... we loved every minute of it... and.... we missed Mom, Anna, Lisa, Laci, and Sonia! We would have loved for you all to have been there. That just means we need to plan a Girls Trip one of these days!









I personally feel really good about the jeans.

Here she comes!

Rebekah flew in from Costa Rica on February 6th, and lucky us... WE GOT TO PICK HER UP! She stayed with us that night, we brought her home and she took a warm shower which apparantly she hadn't had since she left because they didn't have hot water there,so it was fun hearing her scream with Joy during her whole shower. :)Then we picked up something for dinner and picnicked at the temple. We just visited and enjoyed having her home. It was so unbelievably good to see her. She kept saying stuff like, "I am SO grateful for the United States. It's so amazing, we are so lucky!" :)
When we went home that weekend for Risa Anderson's wedding, Jared and Laci came over to the house and after much begging we got Bekah to give us all a lesson in Salsa Dancing,using Jared as her dance partner. I wish I had the video, but I don't.
Anyways, it was really fun to be able to see her for a while. While we were home, Mom got back from Utah and with her, she brough Orange and Cinnamon Sweet Rolls from Shirley's Bakery in Utah... mmmmm. They were a HUGE hit with everyone! Thanks mom!:)

Slideshow...of Pittsburgh!

Take a gander...

It doesn't get much better than this... it really doesn't. Oh man! We miss them so much already!

Peek-a-boo!!! She is absolutley adorable... Infact, THAT.... is an understatement.

All three of the girls were so cute when we were in the kitchen, they always wanted to be in there helping with whatever we were doing. :)

Eva LOVES books... so it worked out nice because we happen to LOVE reading books to our neices and nephews!

The night before we left Joseph was so sweet and he took us up on the incline and showed us the city of Pittsburgh at night. It was sure beautiful, and was just so fun! It was a fun memory... for sure.
