I know you are thinking, “What the heck can all those things have to do with each other. Keep reading.
I have been seriously remiss in blogging about our wonderful Valentine’s Day date. Rock never ceases to and impress and delight with his date ideas and it’s not just on Valentine’s day. How many husbands do you know who take you on a date on top of your own roof to watch the sunset? This Valentine’s Day was no different. We went to “Paint Night” which typically is a night where you go to a restaurant or bar and drink while an artist teaches you how to paint a picture. I can’t figure out why being drunk can help you paint better, but we skipped the drinks and just did the painting. I have never done anything like this before and it was so fun! And now we have a beautiful painting that we made together to put up in our house! Love you, Rock!

He painted one side and I painted the other
The finished product!
Shortly after Valentine’s Day I drove down to Utah to go to Time Out for Women (or Tofu as Alli likes to call it.) We had a ton of fun and Alli actually enjoyed herself! She was skeptical but now she is a true believer! (that was just to make you gag, Al, did it work?) We listened to some amazing music and fantastic speakers and I got to hang out with one of my favorite people! Scratch that, two of my favorites. Saturday we went to dinner with Sarin too. Olive Garden is great even two nights in a row! I will NEVER get tired of their salad, breadsticks and Gnocci soup! And while I was enjoying one birthday present, I found my other one! While down in Utah I finally found the table I want! It is ordered and on it’s way. Thanks again to Rock for both of my fabulous presents.
Here is Alli, SUPER excited to finally have her very own TOFW bag. Aren’t ya jealous?
The end of February was a black hole for us. Liberty was super sick with the flu for a week and then Levi was super sick with the flu the next week and then Rock and I were sick with a cold the following week. And that’s when Rock’s parents were planning to come visit on their way to WA. They skipped our house on the way over to avoid our plague-like conditions, but stayed on the way back. We were all sick and no fun, but it is always good to see them! While we laid around sick, they managed to find a way to entertain themselves.
While my brother is off learning how to fly Black Hawk helicopters for the national guard (and getting full night’s sleep and hiking every weekend) his wife has been up to her eyeballs in nursing school. Last weekend we watched two of my nephews while Penny was working. Though I had a pretty sleepless night the first night, all in all it was fun to have them and all the kids enjoyed themselves. I feel bad because these pics are all of Bryce, but Lincoln didn’t stick around long enough in any one place for me to take any of him. He was Levi’s little shadow the whole weekend. Super cute!
We were so proud of ourselves for getting this cutie to actually eat something!
Then the next day he wouldn’t eat another one. Sigh.
