Valentine's Poems

Happy Valentine's Day! We woke up to breakfast in bed. Jorja brought me up oatmeal, and she brought up Mike Cap'n Crunch. What a sweetheart. Stockton came home from church and made this train track. I thought it was so cute.

Preston, Jorja, Stockton

We tried to have the chocolate fountain . . . only the chocolate wasn't cooperating. It was tasty, but it wouldn't flow right. Preston sure didn't mind.

Preston

Yep, Preston loved it!

Jorja made me the flower I have in my hair. She got it off of a gift bag, found a barrette and tied the flower on with string. She is so sweet. I love it. I got lots of compliments on it. Thanks Jorja!

Maysen & Jorja's bananagram board

Maysen asked everyone to write a poem for Family Home Evening. Stockton said, "You're going to put this on your blog, aren't you." Why yes, yes I am. Here they are:

I love

Puppies, Unicorns, Blankets

And my green one

And a pen and a coin

Maysen, Stockton, Jorja

and you and mommy and daddy.

And Shiver.

--Preston

Valentines Day

candy, hug, care

loving, caring, sharing

I like Valentines.

love!

--Jorja

The bug-eyed aliens from Pluto

have a horrible project to do.

They're big-headed, small-brained,

and their skin is permanent blue!

They have to give a Valentine

to the alien they love most.

This project is complete torture

because EVERYBODY'S gross!

--Stockton

Love the Lord, for he is there

He felt your joy, he heard your prayer

He will always answer what you say,

Listen, listen, learn, and pray.

The Lord your God will always care,

You must be clean to feel him there.

When at last you die one day,

The Lord you love will guide the way.

Love the Lord, he's always there.

Listen, learn, and speak in prayer.

--Maysen

Stephanie -

This year I love you more than last

Just like each year that has gone past

I love you more as time goes by

And can not count numbers so high

I'm lucky that you are my wife

And that you're stuck with me for life!

Thanks for marring me - I love you

--Mike

I love my family

I love my home

I love the Savior

I hope you like my poem.

--Stephanie

Tonight before bed, we were reading about Abinadi in the scriptures - although we were only able to read 9 verses because Preston was not cooperating. Mike started telling the kids about Elijah. They loved the stories about Elijah calling fire down from heaven to destroy the armies that were sent to get him. Maysen and Stockton were laughing so hard. It was cute to see them giggling about an Old Testament prophet.
