This is dedicated to the one I love...

Andy and I celebrated Valentine's Day on Friday night. We dropped our boys off at the Bradshaws (who are amazing...thanks!) and headed to dinner at J. Alexander's. This is one of my favorite places to eat. I love their menu...there are so many yummy items. Andy had gone earlier and had flowers waiting at the table for me. Stargazer lilies are my favorite! After a relaxing and delicious dinner, we headed to the movies to see Confessions of a Shopaholic. I have been reading these books and really wanted to see the movie. Ironically, the main character is Rebecca. I thought the movie was cute and funny. Andy was just glad he was not the only male in the theater.

When we left the movie, we spotted the Weinermobile in the parking lot. Of course, we had to go take a look and get a picture!

My sweet valentine is amazing. I am so blessed to have him as my husband and as the father of my sweet boys. We look forward to many more Valentine's Days together. By the way, our first date was on February 15...twelve years ago!

Valentine's Party

Jackson's preschool class had their Valentine party on Thursday. He was really excited about another special treat at his school. They decorated heart picture frame magnets that were so cute and had an M&M race. All the kids in his class are so sweet and really do love each other. They each got to have a turn passing out their Valentines to the other kids and were so thrilled to see what kind everybody brought. Jackson chose sports themed cards for all his friends.

Say Cheese!

Last week, Jackson and Carter had their birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese for all their preschool pals. That day at school was also Pizza and Pajamas, so the kids were super excited about their fun filled day. Almost their entire class was able to come to the party and had a blast! Jackson and Carter chose a pirate theme and both wore their pirates shirts. The kids played games and ran around first then we ate pizza and cake. After that, the boys opened their presents.
