My Valentines Day started early when Steve surprised me with these flowers the night before. I had been having one of those "blah" days so it really cheered me up! Aren't they so pretty! Thanks Steve, you made my day! I love you!
Early Valentines morning(around 12:30am) when I finally got off the computer to head to bed I found these waiting for me on the kitchen counter. I gave Steve some suggestions as to what I wanted for Valentines Day and he seemed to have listened. :) I have of course read the whole Twilight series but had just borrowed the books from my sisters(thanks Jamie and Stacy) , so when I saw that the box set had come out I knew I wanted it. Inside the little envelope is a tanning pass. I wanted that so I can get my pasty self a little bit of a tan(my reward for working out so hard.)
This doesn't really have anything to do with my Valentines Day but I had to post it to go along with my Twilight books because I think it is pretty hot and I'm sure most of you will enjoy it! My Valentines Day might have started just as hot...hehe...lets just say I gave Steve some "unmentionables" that came packaged like this...
What was in the mysterious bag...I'll never tell... :)
I also got to sleep in. :) Steve got up and played Mr. Mom before heading to work. He then brought home my favorite, french toast from Kneaders. If you haven't tried it, you must! As yummy as it looks it tastes even yummier! Of course I had to share with Maddy and he ate most of my strawberries and whipping cream. Steve laughed when I took the picture but who cares...it's all about the blog right?
Maddy and Avery got their first Valentine in the mail this year. Their cousin Jace sent it. This is a picture of Maddy opening it(he was so excited he got a letter in the mail-he has watched way too many episodes of "Blues Clues", and loves getting the mail with me) and the other side is a picture of the Valentine. Isn't my nephew Jace the cutest! Thanks Jace(and Mommy!) Maddy surprised me today and wanted to whisper secrets into my ear. He has never done this before and climbed up on my lap and while moving my hair said "Mommy move your hair back here(behind my ear), I want to tell you a secret." He then proceeded to tell me he wanted another train(he is a bit obsessed with trains lately.) With a big smile on both of our faces I whispered back, "I love you Maddy." He then whispered back, "I love trains Mommy." It was the cutest thing ever! It was such a special/fun moment that we shared. We whispered more secrets back and forth while I was rocking him before his nap. I can't believe how fast he is growing up! He surprises me every day with what he says and does!
I also got a really nice phone call from my Dad(and Mom.) I love you both! I also got lots of love from my Facebook friends. I was even able to take a long nap. :)
I ended my day by eating a yummy sweet pork salad(another one of my favorites) from Costa Vida (again sharing with Maddy-he ate most of my tortilla strips) and watching "P.S. I Love You." I had been warned that it was a tear jerker so I chose to watch it by myself(after putting Avery to bed and while Steve was out shopping and running errands with Maddy and Dan), so I could cry as much as I wanted without feeling stupid and trying not to cry. I laughed and cried through the whole thing and loved it! If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it! It makes you really think about how important the people in your life are and to not take them for granted. You never know when today will be your last day with them.
Here is a little Valentine collage I made for those special people that I'm blessed to have in my life and love so much....you know who you are! :)
