♥ My little Valentines ♥


 Norah with the Valentines she & I made
 for her 1st grade class!
Together we made 22 of these little cuties :)


Here she is making the "hooting" owl sound

 
  
 "He goes upside down"
For whatever reason she thought that was super funny.
I LOVE her smile :-)


 With her finished product, and a chocolate apple for her lovely teacher!


This is the Valentine she made me at the Gym after I went to work that night!


 And here's where I'm gonna be 100% honest and say that Nolan's Valentine for me ranks up there on my list of all time favorite Valentines Day gifts. He made it in his preschool class, and it just makes me smile! I especially love. love. love. all the little thumbprint dots! 
Too Cute!!!


 Here's what I made for his friends at preschool, it's a heart shaped crayon made out of melted crayon pieces. Thank you to my bestie Tiffany and Pinterest for the idea and ♥ molds.


These are what my littles got for Valentines Day from me and Casey!
I love these little sock monkeys and so did they. They also loved the chocolate but neither one cared for the convo hearts(I think they're pretty disgusting too)!


Even though I had to work we still all had a lovely day! Wednesday night Casey and I celebrated with a delicious dinner (cooked at home by me) that consisted of Parmesan chicken and prosciutto wrapped asparagus, with wine of course. Followed by dessert, which was another Pinterest recipe.... No bake Nutella Cheesecake, it was divine and I will most certainly be making it again!

Snowshoeing Paradise


 We ♥ Mt. Rainier
We got some pretty awesome views of her close up,
this past Saturday while snowshoeing up above paradise.


One of the cool photos my hubby took while up there! 
It is beyond gorgeous, especially when the sun is shining!


 Really love this one! You can see Mt. Adams and Mt. St. Helens
off in the background if you look really closely.


Prettiness


My ♥, lookin' particularly handsome!
  

 Of course a fab day on the mountain
wouldn't be complete without our besties


Me & Tiffany 

This last Saturday we had planned to go skiing but, there hadn't been much new snow since earlier in the week and since I'm just learning to ski I didn't know if I wanted to brave it in not so great conditions. Knowing that the weather was going to be gorgeous we kinda made some last minute plans to head up to Paradise on Mt. Rainier and do some snowshoeing! And I am so glad we did. It was beautiful up there, not too crowded and we got in a great workout! There was some wind (we're guessing some 60mph gusts) but we didn't let that stop us from spending a good 3 hours up there!  Next up we'd like to do some snow camping and maybe snowshoe up to Camp Muir :) I'm looking forward to more winter adventures, hopefully coming soon!
