When we moved from Nampa over a year ago we sold our very old, heavy, out of tune, missing keys etc. upright piano. I have to admit that I don't play nearly as well as I wish I did, but I have missed not having one. We were able to receive a sizable tax refund this year. After paying off our truck and credit card we are getting some "toys". Last night we bought this digital piano (not a keyboard) from a local college student. It's a Yamaha and we paid $50 more for it than we were going to for a much lesser quality digital piano. It's only a year old and plays like a "real" piano. I'm so excited to be able to play whenever I want to because of the volume adjustment and I can plug headphones into it! It's light and easy to move around. It has a bunch of bells and whistles that I'll probably never use, but I'm still excited about it. I'd like to get Carson into some piano lessons. I've always wanted my children to be able to play the piano. At least the hymns anyway. If they choose to pursue playing past that it's up to them. It's so fun to have a piano again!

Dollar Store Finds
Someday we'll have nice things. But for now there's the dollar store!
I found these pictures at the dollar store the other day and was super excited to dress up my very bare walls in the kitchen and bathroom.
No the mirror is not from the dollar store, but now it's not so lonely.
These pictures I think are super cute. Even though they're in a bathroom/laundry with no actual tub in it...I still like them.

Yummy Treats
Today the kids got Valentine Treats from Grandma Foster.
I think Charlie is enjoying his cookie!
He may have been a mess afterwards, but I'm sure he thought it was worth it.
Valentine's Day
Our Valentine's Day was pretty low key, but enjoyable non the less. This is what I gave Tony.
This is a coupon book I made for Tony
This was our dinner with the beautiful roses Tony got for Alaina and I.
The kids loved The Heartbreaker Pizza's from Papa Murphy's and yummy cheesecake with chocolate covered strawberries! We even got sparkling cider to drink.

Alaina gets a Haircut
Yesterday, I took Alaina down to the local hair school to tame Alaina's long locks. They took about 3 inches off. She was really good about the whole thing, and she really likes her "short" hair.
