Happy Valentine's Day!

the letter frames were crafted by me and Abster.
Rebecca was the Bachmann Family VALENTINE OF THE YEAR at Aunt Kay's party!  She looked forward to the "heart party" all week. (thanks for the awesome pictures, Kim).  She had a ball playing with Harriet and Olivia.
For the tribute, we brought props to dress her in.  Her ballet shoes, twirling skirt, preschool backpack, a big ear (for listening to mom and dad), disguise glasses (for the roles she plays as a unicorn, kitty, princess, etc).  She thought it was great!
On Valentine's morning I made her heart shaped pancakes with Omi's peaches, pink milk, pink yogurt, and a cookie for dessert.  (She and I had made a huge batch of cookies for Aunt Kay's party and for her preschool friends.)  It was so rewarding to make that breakfast for Rebecca.  She was super excited!  She was yelling to Jorg, "Daddy!  You've got to see this!"  And at the end of the day, she asked if I could make her that breakfast EVERY Balentine's Day.  I said, yes.
 
That night Jorg told me not to plan dinner.  He put us in the car, with me at the wheel, and the navigation system told me how to get to our destination.  It was Papa John's for pizza.  What a fun surprise :) 

Fish!

We spent last Saturday playing with Omi and Grandpa at the aquarium, IKEA, and went for frozen yogurt.
 
We Like It!

Bowling Night

 
We went bowling at BYU last night.  And then to In 'n Out for dinner and shakes. I am so thankful for my family!  And to have Jorg back (he went to Japan again last week).  We always have so much fun together.  We Like It!

Little Rabbits!

 
Just some pictures I snapped during preschool last week! 

A fun couple of days!

I got to watch Stella and Sienna for 3 days while Abby was at a work conference.  I LOVED having three kids!  Stella and Rebecca played great together.   
 
And Sienna is a dream baby!

Not to be dramatic, but I cried when they left. That's how heavenly it was to have a baby in this house again!
