Valentines Dance Party

Every year our Stake puts on a couples dance around Valentines Day. This year they canceled it. My friend Holly and I were so disappointed we decided to have our own dance. So Holly made a play list, Heidi created invitations, a few other friends helped set up and we had our dance. There were about 30 friends from our ward there. We had it at our building. It was an unofficial ward activity. Trevor and I danced the entire 3 hrs. We had tables set up for games for couples who didn't want to dance the entire time. We even set up a place for couple pictures. It was such a success we are planning on doing an 80's dance in the Spring.

This was our special picture place:0

I think this was a superhero song of sorts. Not quite sure what the boys are doing.

A Black Eye and a Loose Tooth

Amelia nailed my eye with her forehead 20 minutes before church a few weeks ago. I had this weird feeling my eye was filling up with fluid and sure enough it was. I took one look in the mirror and thought of the Rocky episode where Rocky tells his trainer to cut him because he can't see out of his swollen eye. I immediately iced it while feeding the kids breakfast. Trevor was in early morning meetings, so I didn't have any help getting to church. Surprisingly enough, we made it on time.
This is actually a really mild picture of my eye. I wish I would have taken a picture a few days later because it was a total black eye, even underneath.

TJ lost his first tooth Wednesday at playgroup. He was eating a pear. We couldn't find the tooth anywhere, and then my friend Ellen suggested looking at the pear. Sure enough, there it was. What a great moment for him and me. The tooth fairy came that night and left him some money, which he spent the next day on a spider man watch from the dollar store (which is working great for a dollar watch).
