Monday:
Andrew is starting to respond more and more to people. Adam was talking to him, and Andrew was so excited to see him. It was pretty cute.
Our first Blue and Gold Banquet was on Tuesday night. Benjamin was pretty excited to wear his new uniform, and to receive his first award, the Whittling Chip patch.
Wednesday:
We came home from the dealership with a balloon, as usual. I don't know why, but every time we visit Adam, Isaac heads right for the stash of balloons. This time Grandpa blew it up with helium, and then put a tiny little string on it. So of course, when we got home it went way up into the ceiling and no one could reach it. Madeleine was pretty sure that if she got the stool, she'd be able to get it down. So of course Isaac had to try as well.
Thursday:
It was a pretty slow day, with nothing really happening. So we got out some cool toys and spent some time building crazy creatures!

I headed down to Provo to hang out with my brother and his family for a couple of days. We went to the Pizza Factory for an early dinner. When the hostess saw my sister in law and me walk in with nine children, she put us in a large deserted room, far from any other people. It was a wise decision.
And after dinner, we headed to Jumpin' Jacks in Springville. It's essentially a huge warehouse filled with seven large bounce house/slides for the kids to play on. And play they did! We stayed for about two hours.
My grandma turned 90 today, so we had a big party! This is a picture of my grandma, great uncle, and uncle video chatting with my mom online. My grandma was absolutely amazed that she could be so close to her daughter, who was so far away.
What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than with chocolate cupcakes?! My brother manages Magelby's Fresh in Provo (which has awesome food, so if you're ever there stop by!) and he brought home some leftover cupcakes for us to have after our dinner. As you can imagine, the kids were mostly interested in licking the frosting off.
