A Fabulous Valentines

We had a great Valentine's Day..hopefully everyone else had a great day also. The day started with Ryan having a rose on the counter when I got up. It was very beautiful. Then, I started the day off by making chocolate covered strawberries. They were absolutely delicious. I decided to make Ryan a nice dinner for the big day because going out on Valentine's Day is a nightmare and plus we are really trying to watch what we spend. So, after I made the strawberries, I made Ryan one of his favorite desserts (and mine too), Mudd Pie or Cream Tort. It is so yummy but so absolutely fattening so I only make it once a year. Ryan and I recently sold some items on Craigslist so we used that money to buy each other something nice for Valentine's. I had to wait for mine to be delivered that day and then couldn't open it till Ryan got home. I was better prepared and got my present for Ryan off Ebay the week prior and had it hidden in my buffet table.



When Ryan got home from work he took Drew to the Chiropractor to see if he could relieve the pressure in Drew's ears. Boy was that a miracle waiting to happen. Drew didn't even cry while he was being adjusted. Our Chiropractor said he was one tough kid. Ryan got adjusted too and is really sore from his hip and knee being out of place since before we were married.


While they were at the Chiropractor I tutored one of my kidos that couldn't make it on Tuesday. I only tutor 2 kids and it is so nice to have a little extra spending money. When my boys got back Ryan let me open my package and he got me a pearl necklace and earrings from Shane Co. I absolutely loved them. I told him just after Christmas that I wanted some for my birthday. I felt like a princess. Then Ryan opened his box and got his shaver he has been wanting. I got it for a spanking good deal I couldn't pass up. His old shaver was horrible and wouldn't even keep its charge.


Then I made dinner and we ate it when Drew went to sleep. It was nice to have a quiet house. I made Ryan Lemon Steak and it was sooooo good. I think I am going to make it again this week. I buy London Broil when it goes on sale and it is just as cheap as chicken when it is on sale. Then we watched Becoming Jane, thanks to my sister Julie telling me how good it is and that she was watching it that night. It was pretty good, a little slow at first but not predictable whatsoever. Thank you Ryan for a perfect Valentine's Day!



I had to put a picture of Drew in this post. Drew's favorite thing to do is play outside. I am so glad it is finally warm enough to let him go out and play. His favorite thing to do outside is push things around and that includes boxes. He also loves to eat rocks.
PS: Sorry about the plain old boring background. I tried to change it and now it is screwed up and I am having issues. Hopefully I can fix it soon!

Those strawberries look so good! You look so cute and I love the new pearls. Nice work Ryan. We are going to be here for another 3 years. Which is fine. Minus the cold I love it here. Hopefully will end up in UT visiting the same time as you guys one of these times.

Sounds like it was an awesome VDay for you guys! Thanks for the yummy strawberries but I helped Ryan eat too many of them. I'm glad Leland really helped your boys. We are seeing him today so I hope he can help Dallin.
