Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day was on Saturday this year and we had such a fun family day together! I got up with thomas at about 630 and we made breakfast burritos for JT, who got to sleep in a little bit. He wakes up early with Thomas 90% of the time, and I am so grateful to him for it! We ate our breakfast and thomas played with his new play kitchen I found for cheap and on sale too! I brought him upstairs when he woke up and as soon as he saw it he almost fell over from trying to run to it so fast. He was so excited. I've been wanting to get one for him for awhile now, kitchen stuff is his favorite thing to play with and has been for a long time now. The little stove burners light up and make noise, and he loves to open the stove and fridge and all that. It's adorable. 

The oregon zoo had a free day so we got ready and left at about 915 to go! It didn't open until 10 but I figured it would get really crowded quickly, and it did, so we went early. JT and I went to this zoo on our honeymoon one day randomly, but we didn't stay long or see hardly any of it.  It is such a great zoo!! Sooo much better then the utah one. Thomas loved it and would laugh and point at all the different animals. We stayed about two hours and still didn't see it all. But Thomas got tired and the zoo got seriously so crowded so it was a good time to leave. 

The four lion cubs were our favorite. They reminded me of Thomas a little bit with all their wild energy and playing. 

Thomas fell asleep instantly in the car on our drive back and ended up taking a FOUR hour nap. Yes. Four!!! It was much needed. 

We found a cheap little grill at lowes Friday night that we bought as our valentines present, and the weather was so nice that we grilled burgers and made our favorite pasta salad and the best fruit dip and had a dinner that made it feel like summer time. It was the first day since moving out here where I really felt happy and content with where we are. Slowly but surely I'm learning to love Washigton and I am so so thankful for my two valentines! Three including baby #2!
