{billy & lexi}: February 2011

Billy and I had such a fun time celebrating Valentines Day!

I have grown up loving Valentines Day because
my mom always made us feel so special!
This is what my parents home loooks like right now...

My mom made these little hearts for each of us kids.

She wrote reasons she loved us and words that described each of us individually.

Below are our heart pillows for show love week-
stuffed with lots of love!

I wanted to keep some of the traditions going in our future family
so I started by making these:

For one week straight we always had "show love week"

Everyone would take a day and show love to each other.

We would write love notes, give a treat, make dinner, clean their room etc.

I loved it and wanted to start that with Billy and I.

Since Billy was going to be gone for half of our show love week I sent him on his baseball trip with these goodies and little love notes.

I know the other players are SOOO jealous...

or maybe Billy is a little embarrassed!

I also have had plenty of time on my hands
with Billy being gone so I made this little sign
to get our house feeling "Love"ly :)

We went out to Market Street Grill on Friday

and then made chocolate/caramel covered pretzels.

We had a blast!

Monday morning he came out of the shower surprised with this on the door....

I had string tied to the door knob and then all around the house which led him to this..

Brown paper packages tied up string,
these are a few of your favorite things!

We told each other we weren't doing gifts this year and we would just do a nice dinner.
Well, that was after I had put this together.
So he was extra lucky this year!
and he wrote me the sweetest card-
by far the greatest gift!
I think it was a success he seemed pretty happy :)

Billy had class on Monday night so I just made him dinner.
We had a great time being with each other
and missed all the crowds!

I made this little muffin tin with reasons why i love him!

Not the best pics..
but it shows we are happy :)

I love my Valentine!!

First of all a shout out to my main man...

this stud muffin.

He just the greatest. I love this picture.

Happy Valentines Day!
I sure am the luckiest girl in the world.

I love you babe!

And a very Happy Birthday to my mom.

Her birthday is on Valentines and she always spends the day
showing love to others,especially her kids.

I kinda felt like she always got cheated.

But this year she is in Hawaii with my dad.

A much deserved vaca for the both of them.

My mom is the greatest. She is the most giving person
and would do anything for anyone especially her family.
She is the definition of a perfect mom.
Everyday I call her on my lunch break, literally every single day,
and no matter how busy she is she always makes time to talk.
A lot of times its for the whole hour.I know she is busy-crazy busy-
I may be a little selfish for taking her time b
t its my favorite part of the day.

I could go on all day about all the many reasons I love her but I have noticed one particular thing a lot lately...

she always has great advice or insights about everything.

She seriously always has some inspiration thought from a BYU devotional she listened to or she remembered great counsel from conference talks, or firesides. She is constantly intune to the spirit and always uplifting us and giving us great advice and counsel.

She is the greatest example and she is constantly inspiring me to better myself.
