Happy Valentines day!

I got the girls some treats for V-day...but I wasn't sure who they were from. At Christmas Santa brings gifts, at Easter, it's the bunny...does cupid drop of the Valentines? This year it was just Mommy and Daddy, but I'll have to think about that one a little.
We have been having good weather lately and lots of fun around Stettler.
We have taken the girls ice skating a couple times - I keep forgetting the camera. Alma thinks it is ok, but Ivy loves it. I hold on to both her hands and we zip around the ice rink until my back gets sore from being bent over for too long. I have to admit that I really love it too. This week, because the ice rink is in the same facility as the swimming pool, I took Ivy staking and Graham took Alma to the pool. Then Ivy and I wen't over to enjoy the swimming for a while. What a great night!
In fact, I was having a super mom week, because we even remembered to have Family Home Evening on Monday, so Kudoes to me.
A few weeks ago, Alma class was studing Dr. Suess. on the last day the class watched Horton Hears a Who. We just so happen to have a Horton at our house, so Alma took it to school that day. He was very popular.

Ivy's class has been having theme days for the month of February. This was crazy hair day.

I have been doing quite a bit of family genealogy in the last few days. I really enjoy it. I can't wait to get my hands on the books my Uncle Bob has put together. There are a ton of family sheets. He has traced our family line back to the Revolutionary War on one side. My Auntie Carol has done a ton of work on the other side going back 7 or 8 generations as well. I love to hear little stories about the family members. Like how my Grandmother eloped with Grandpa. And that I am 1/16th Cherokee. I sure look it. Family history can be so intriguing, and I always love a good story.

Well, time to run. Ivy has a birthday party to get to.
