Barnsie Bunch: Valentines Day and Dances.....

Valentines Day.....ahh. What a crazy/over-rated holiday. First order of business for Valentines day this year was the dance at Alta. Somehow, J.D. and I got talked into letting Brenna who is not yet 16 go to the dance. She and Morgan pulled it off by saying....."this will be the only dance that we will be able to go together in high school...."

Since the dance is girls choice, and I am thrilled that my daughters love each other as sisters as well as best friends I of course said yes.

Brenna and her date - Andrew Scheffner. We have been friends with their family for about 5 years now. Drew and Jensen have played on football, soccer, and baseball teams with the other brothers and needless to say we think the Scheffner's are awesome. So when Brenna wanted to date one of them, I figured that would be okay with me!!

Cute, cute Morgan......she has plenty of options on boys to take to the dance that are her own age, but since she was going with Brenna and a whole group of Sophomores, she decided to ask a younger man to the dance. I told her that I am sure that made his week/month/year to be asked by a beautiful senior girl to Sweethearts. Jake Owen. They had fun.

Again.....another year of making Valentine Day boxes for the card exchange at school -

Have I ever mentioned how awesome Morgan is?? This big sister spent an entire Sunday afternoon locked in Jensen's room with him helping him make his Robot Valentine box....they wouldn't let any of us in the room, because they wanted it to be a surprise.

Also, when you are 9 years old and your name is Jensen Barnes, you have a hard time not pulling a funny face when the camera is out! Love you man!!

And here is my lovely little Ella, and here is another work of art done by Morgan! That was my Valentines day gift - not having to worry about the boxes.
