Cute Moments

Well, MecKenzie is crawling now! Pretty exciting.

I am doing the 14 days of Valentines for Jeff. Until yesterday everything was going pretty good. I attempted to make his favorite almond snack. And by attempted I mean utter failure. The recipe I used was from My Baking Addiction. I made a substitute that made the almonds too salty. Never fear! I will attempt it again with less salt!

On another note, Jenelle was pretty cute this morning. Jeff and I were being lazy in bed but Jenelle was ready to be awake. So I invented a game that allowed me to stay in bed while still entertaining her. I would stick a body part over the edge of the bed and make her tell me what it was. It worked great! But I was running out of fingers and toes so I stuck half my face over the bed. She pointed at me and yelled, "Cheek!" Then she dashed to the other side of the bed and said, "dad, cheek please!" Probably one of the cutest things she has done to date.

Also the winter Olympics are on. Or they would be if NBC wasn't being ridiculous. The only time it comes on the local channels is after 8pm. Seeing as that is the girls' bedtime they don't get to watch any of it. Not that they really care I guess. But I don't get to watch much of them either because I try to go to bed around 10. Needless to say that all the events I would like to watch are never on. Big disappointment.

Birthday

It's coming to the end of my birthday and what a day it has been. Jeff took a surprise day off from work this morning to make me breakfast and spend the day with me.

The sneak pretended to go to work this morning but he really went and got flowers and breakfast food. It's was pretty cute of him. Then he took me to sushi and a movie. We saw 'I, Frankenstein' which had a good amount of action but not a great story. After that Jeff made me a 'better than anything' cake.

Needless to say it was a great 25th!

Cute Moments

Do you ever have one of those moments where you think, “Man, my kids are cute”? Well I have!

Yesterday I was working out in the living room and Jenelle (almost 2 years old) stood right next to me and did squats with me. Probably one of the cutest things I have ever seen. Then later in the day we were at the store and she grabbed my arm and said “love you”. Yeah… that is why you have kids. For the little moments that make you smile uncontrollably.

Speaking of which, Jeff and I had a funny argument at Walmart last night. And by funny I mean we spent more of the time laughing. I wanted some curtain to go in front of our washer and dryer. It is kind of a big eye sore right in our kitchen so I wanted to hide it while dressing the room up a little bit. Originally I wanted to get the curtains up before Jeff came home but of course I had several failed attempts. Needless to say Jeff ended up going back to Walmart with me to pick out curtains that were the right size and color. He wanted a dark brown and I wanted a pretty blue. We continued to argue about what curtains were best so we put a few in our cart so we could narrow down our decision.

Jeff made the executive decision. He told me we could get the “ugly ones” which I thought were the ones I wanted. When we checked out I was all excited because they were cheaper than I thought they were so of course I bragged a little at my shopping skills. Jeff then corrected me by telling me that was the price listed. Come to find out we got the blue ones HE wanted! Sneaky man! It was a good laugh and the curtains look great.

Gotta say, I love my family <3
