VaLeNtInEs!

I first should show Shad's awesome Shark valentine box he made for school. Didn't he do a great job! He is so creative! I love it that his friends had to put their hands in the sharks mouth to deliver him a valentine!

We had a really fun valentines dinner with Uncle Lynn and my Great Uncle and Aunt, Sherm and Gwen. We had a wonderful seafood dinner with lobster, crab legs and shrimp and a little filet mignon on the side for me as I am not a sea food eater.
Aunt Gwen made these wonderful cookies! They were so yummy! She also made some homemade hot fudge to go on some ice cream and yes we ate that too.
After dinner we spent 4 hours playing "Hands and Feet" a card game that uses 7 decks of cards just to start but by the last round we were up to 11 decks of cards. It was so much fun and we had such a good time just laughing and joking with each other.

Uncle Lynn made these handy-dandy card holders which were a life saver considering the amount of cards we had to hold and keep track of. At the beginning of the game every slot is full of cards until you collect enough points and can lay them all down. See all those cards on the table...they were in the card holder right before I snapped the picture.

I just love these guys so much and I'm so grateful for them.


I'm totally in LOVE with this guy too! We had a romantic little get away Sunday night because we didn't have to work Monday due to Presidents Day. We checked into the Courtyard Marriot on 106th south and enjoyed a quite few hours in a wonderful suite with a jacuzzi tub, big screen TV and comfy King size bed.

We went to dinner at Market Street Grill where Brett enjoyed crab stuffed shrimp and I ordered filet mignon, we took a piece of cheesecake back to the hotel with us to enjoy later after our dinner had time to settle. The food was all delicious even if we had to put a second mortgage on our house to pay for it.


We got a good nights sleep without interruptions from cats that want out at 3 am to eat or a dog that wants to go out a 5 am to pee. We had a nice breakfast in the hotel before checking out and going to a movie. We went to see Taken with Liam Neelson and it was AWESOME! Talk about an intense movie. I highly recommend it.

Shad was able to go to Grandma and Grandpa Roberts house while we went away and got so spoiled! (which he loved) He came home with this little treasure that he and grandma spent several hours putting together. It is now his most prized prossession, so much so that mom and dad are not allowed to even touch it. Every time we try to move something or see what something does on it he swats our hands away...What's Up With That!
