Valentine's Day

Well the 7 inches of snow had a little impact on our trees. I swear it seems that we are constantly having tree issues. Our Live Oak in our backyard lost a few limbs thanks to the weight of the snow. The good news is that we can shape up the limbs and the tree will look just fine. The bad news is that the day before the "Snow Storm of the Century" I had the front trees trimmed so I have to pay for them to come back out. Happy Valentine's to us!



Jackson got $5 for Valentine's and he wanted a light sabre. I had found a Star Wars costume left over after Halloween but I didn't happen to look at the size. Apparently it is for a boy the size of Jenna, but he still wears it. Now his ensemble is complete. This is what he looked like when I left for Bunko on Monday.


And this is what he looked like when I came home from bunko.


On Tuesday Jenna finally had her Valentine's Party at school. I had taken Friday off from work so that I could come to her party, but the snow changed all that. Jason was able to go to the party during his lunch hour since I had a 3 hour budget meeting. Got to love a new fiscal year!

Valentine's Party

I was off work on Friday, February 13th so I was able to attend Jenna's school Valentine's party. They had a M&M straw contest, ice cream floats and a conversation heart contest.

Valentine's Day pictures

Since we didn't take Christmas pictures we decided to take Valentine's Day pictures. Of course Jackson didn't want to participate until the last few minutes of the session. Thanks to the magic of digital cameras he took pictures with his Spider-Man cap and Spider-Man sunglasses and Mommy even made a few cameos. I didn't have any make up on and had a very low maintenance hair style. Thank goodness they didn't include that in the slide show. I didn't want the whole mall seeing that one on the plasma screens. Just short of calling CPS on us, we did manage to get some cute pictures.

Happy Valentine's Day

I was able to attend Jenna's Valentine's Day party at school on Thursday. It was a lot of fun to see all the kid's expressions as they opened their box full of Valentine's.



Jason gave me a beautiful heart bracelet from James Avery. I also received flowers with various shades at my office.



Of course the best present ever was given to Jason by me. He loves the TV show "Psych" probably more for the pop culture references that describe our lives as kid. I gave him Season One on DVD, a mug and pineapple stress ball.

Valentine's a little early

Since we didn't take Christmas pictures last year we decided to take Valentine's pictures. When the kids were little we would dress them up as cupid and send cards out to relatives. This year we did family pictures. It was somewhat of a battle since Jackson didn't really want to sit, smile or put his hands anywhere but his mouth or face. This one is Jackson tickling Mommy. I used it because my Mom always says that we have the same smile in every pictures we are just in different clothes. So this card is for you G-Mommy!
