February 2021

February was a fun busy month for us!! 
Still in Virtual school!
Now Aubrey has a cool chair to do her classwork in...
Since we had to postpone the Supinger Christmas Eve party we rescheduled it for Valentine's day weekend.  We made it a Christmas Eve/Valentines/Birthdays/Baptism party and also an open house since most of the family had not seen our new house yet.  I was excited to have all the cousins make Valentine's and boxes for the party.  It gave us an excuse to get crafty!  


Growing up my mom would always make Tickle Omelet which is basically like an omelet with spinach so I made it for my family and surprisingly everyone enjoyed it! 
Aubrey having an art zoom for Young Women's..
Carter not doing virtual school!
Aubrey decided on a movie theater themed party this year.  I was so excited to talk dad into getting an old fashion pop corn popper!! The kids and I had fun putting it together.

The kids finished their boxes.

We got to try our ne pop corn popper and it was wonderful!
Carter and I got new panther shirts for spirit Friday!
Getting ready for Aubrey's party!

Since Aubrey's real birthday was on a Saturday this year she decided to have her party that day and we did her family party Friday February 5th.  We can hardly believe we have a teenager in our house!! It's pretty crazy how fast those 13 years have gone by.  A memory that I have that keeps popping in my head is when Aubrey was 2 months a old and we had gone out to dinner with the extended family and when we were driving home I kept thinking how lucky I was that I get to keep Aubrey with me and she gets to come home with us. I still feel like that! We are so blessed to have Aubrey as our daughter!!! As she gets older and I see her getting more and more independent I get sad but I'm so grateful she tells us everything and loves being with her family.  Aubrey is seriously one of the most smart, sophisticated, kind, loving, talented, beautiful young lady we know and we are just so happy she is ours!
Happy 13th birthday Aubrey Jane!


We went as a family to Strings for dinner..

and had her favorite ice cream cake..


Saturday morning she woke to a whole lot of gifts and a decorated door.



For her gifts we did a treasure hunt around the house...





The kids love getting their table prizes...

After gifts Aubrey wanted me to dye her hair...
and she did her nails..

We did some fun shopping at Target and lunch at Chipotle (her fav!)
Then we got ready for her big party!



Photo shoot before the party....






First to arrive was Presley...
Then Sophie..
Poor Mia wanted to be here more than anything but her mom had COVID.  After the girls all arrived then the boys came.  Yes she had a boy girl party which was fun but a little awkward at first!
They playe dping-pong outside first then we had dinner.  Since it was a movie theater themed we did movie theater food.  Aubrey loves pickles so we had those and then had hot dogs and chips..

After dinner they played some games.  We had printed out a fun truth or dare (it was age appropriate) and would you rather.  
Then they made pretzels... 

While they were baking they played a how well they knew Aubrey game and a movie trivia game.  Then Aubrey opened gifts..


We took some group pictures....
Reid, Trey, Caleb and Camden (Back)
Sophie, Aubrey, and Presley (Front)
and Millie 
The pretzels came out amazing!!
Then they all played a real life among us and then it was time for the movie...

They watched a scary pg-13 movie called Come Play.  It ended up not being that great but they still had fun laughing and eating treats!
Then we all sang to the birthday girl!

Our movie theater popcorn taste like the real thing!
Then all the boys left and the girls went in the spa and a slumber party!
The next morning cinnamon rolls.
What a party!  It was loads of fun. 
I love parties but it always feels nice getting back to normal.
Kids and I went on a bike ride to UC Merced.
Working on Valentine's 




Working on a service project...
We made Valentine's for a retirement home..

I love my spring porch...
Virtual Science class...
Saturday February 13th we had the big Supinger party.  It was fun decorating the house...

Spencer surprised me with beautiful floors when I got done with my workout they were all set up on my makeup table.  He is so cute and thoughtful!!

They were so beautiful!!!
Dad also surprised Aubrey with beautiful roses....
They are her favorite color, coral! So thoughtful!!!!
After all our special flowers we finished getting ready for the party...



Everyone came out and was so fun seeing everyone!!!! It was really neat that we were able to have Gentry's baptism in our hot tub....



We also did birthdays...





white elphants....

The kids went swimming...

and we exchanged Valentine's...


It was a fun party! We feel so blessed to have such a large home now!! We had almost 30 people here and it didn't feel crowded at all!! Usually when we host a family gathering Spencer's sister Shellece and their family get a hotel since its about a 2.5 hour drive well this time we have the room so we invited them to stay at our house.  They ended up being able to stay a couple nights so that was so fun!!!
On Sunday February 14th, Valentine's day we took them up to Leland snow park to play.  We had so much fun when we went with Papa in January we new they would love it too! It was a great day!













at the end of our day we had snow falling!


It was a lot of fun!
That night we had panera and watched a movie.
Monday February 15th was president's day so we were all off of school and work.  All us ladies went to the mall while the boys stayed home and watched movies.
That evening after they left Dad and I went for much needed massage..
Since we had family here all weekend I waited and did Valentine's for the kids on Tuesday February 16th.
We had the whole week off of school 2/15-2/2/19.  We trued to do something fun each day.
