Valentines 2014

Valentines day was wonderfully spent with loved ones. 

Drew and I surprised my family by arriving in Richfield earlier than any of them were expecting. We heart attacked their door and door bell ditched them with a treat. Kinsley caught on right away that it "must be Kate & Drew!!" because we used gold glittery hearts and she knows I'm kind of obsessed with gold and glitter... haha 

It was a fun surprise though! 

Later that evening my mom set up for a cute and funny dinner and it was a nice full of laughter and fun.

 We got chinese take out and dished up our own plates. Then we had to choose a paper heart that was on the table and find the corresponding numbered bag that goes with it. We had to use whatever was in the bag as our utensil to eat our food!

It was really funny! Some of us got chopsticks, a wooden spoon, and/or prongs, while others lucked out and got a normal fork! Or spoon!

 It was lots of fun! We ended the night with some games. And that was that!

Thanks mom for the fun Valentines day!! It was awesome to be in Richfield again with the whole family. We love you guys!

Love,
Kate

February.

It's February. My home is now decorated in pinks and reds and love is in the air!

This past weekend my cute aunt Katie and her husband Briant came down to St. George for a couple days to celebrate Katie's birthday! They stopped by to visit with me on Wednesday night (her actual birthday) and I gave her a picture that I had created/painted for her! She loved it :) Hopefully she'll send me a picture of it hanging up in her home as soon as she gets it up ;)

Thursday night she and Briant invited Drew and I over to their place for pizza and games! We brought the games and they provided the pizza... AND like 7 different flavors of soda for taste-testing! It was so much fun! They had picked up mostly rootbeer flavors, but there was a couple random ones too-- like chocolate dipped maple bacon, sasparilla, and vanilla carmel cream soda. They were sure fun to try! But I am not sure if I would enjoy drinking the chocolate dipped maple bacon every day... haha not my thing.

It was fun to catch up with them though!

The next night we had the great idea to make some crafts for our home, hence why my home is now decorated in pinks and reds :D

We ended up making some fun Valentine banners while the guys watched netflix. I love crafting and it was especially fun to be paired up with Katie because we came up with some great ideas together!

They had to leave early the next morning so our night ended a little earlier than we would have liked, but nonetheless,we love the time we get to spend with Bri and Katie and we love whenever they come down.

The next day neither Drew or I had to work and so we decided to work on putting together our bookshelf that we got from Target! We are going to be using it as an entertainment center! It is the perfect size and has the shelves that I wanted and so we are both really excited about it.

Whether or not we will paint it is yet to be decided... but painting is definitely in the future for us because we have a few different pieces of furniture that I would like to be a different color.

We treated ourselves to "The World's Best Corndog" (a truck parked outside of Ace Hardware in St. George) ... YUM!! And then ended the night with the Jensens. They invited us over for dinner and it was fun to catch up with them too.

Now we are up in Cedar for the Superbowl. 

Then onto another busy week full of school (for drew) and work (for me.. and well, Drew too).

Happy February!

Love,

Kate
