valen-day tines.

for valentines day we were lucky enough to have our aunt boch and cousin stevie in town to celebrate with us. so we took all the little kids to the phoenix childrens museum and it was awesome! cc, and all the ashton girls got to come too because they had early release so we just had a blast. the only bummer was that daddy had to work so he missed all the fun, but we cant wait to go back with him cause bri thought it was just the coolest place ever!

the best valentines day picture that we got this year. stubborn girl.

exploring at the museum

cool mailboxes

making music

playing with cousin stevie. dont judge them by their size....bri is like exactly a year older than him. we are lucky to have such fun cousins so close to our age!

running through the "noodle forest"- this was definitely the biggest hit of the museum!

riding with millie, one of our other fun cousins! again....bri is a year older than her haha. our poor tiny girl!

taking pictures for daddy, but shes ready to move on to the next fun thing

she loved putting the balls into all the tubes over and over again.

stevie will eat anything....including plastic fruit :) in his defense, it did look alot like a real apple.

climbing through the GIANT jungle gym playplace.

she thinks shes really cool when she can do things herself

we love our little valentine!!

 we got spoiled with treats from our cousins and especially from our daddy this year on valentines day! brielley loves her "valen-day tines beary" (also she still cant say valentines day. it always comes out "valen-day tines" haha) and she LOVES the princess nightgown and minnie pjs that daddy got for her to sleep in. minnie is her best friend and hero, so anything minnie mouse is a big hit in this house.

bobby made me the sweetest sign to put over our bed for valentines day. he made it from scrap wood from the phoenix temple where he is working right now and it shows off his star wars nerdyness so it is awesome! :)

enjoying our heart sucker from stevie.

our valentines day spoils :)

and this is exactly why i love him so much! :)

 the other reason that made valentines day amazing this year was that we found out that bobby got accepted to the University of Arizonas Masters of Nursing program!!! we are so proud of him and psyched for our next step! the program is 15 months and when he finishes he will have his masters degree in nursing. he starts school May 13th and he even got accepted to their phoenix satellite campus so we get to stay where we are at for a little bit longer. luckily grandma and papa brooksby aren't sick of us yet! :)
