Valentine's Day

I think I had the best Valentine's Day ever. Actually for Christmas this year Matt gave me tickets to the Lady Antebellum concert, which happened to be on Valentine's Day. I was so excited and I was anxiously awaiting the day to come. Tuesday was the big day. We left the girls here with my mom, so they wouldn't miss their parties at school and then we loaded up the boys to leave at Matt's mom and dad's house. We went to dinner before and then the concert. The preshow was also really good. We got to hear Thompson Square and Darius Rucker. By far my favorite was Lady A. They were awesome and I loved every minute of it. Thanks to my sweet husband this was a Valentine's Day I won't forget. (Let's hope he does as good next year.) Love ya Matt!!!!

Surprise Party

This last weekend my dad turned 60. We tried to decide what we wanted to do for his big birthday and we decided to do a little bit of surprising. The plan was for him and my mom to meet me,and the kids at the bowling alley for a game of bowling and then dinner. Little did he know, that my sister and her family from Utah would be there waiting as well. He met us and we were in line waiting to pay for bowling and my sister snuck up behind him and asked if they could join us. The look on his face was priceless. I didn't know if we would be able to pull the surprise off or not. It is near impossible to surprise that man. But we were successful and so was the party. After bowling and dinner we went back to my house for presents and cake. We had made him a movie of a bunch of pictures from when he was little and then we also made him a scrapbook with the pictures. He loved it and was very surprised. We had a fun party and are very thankful for such a wonderful dad and grandpa.

Winter Fun

This past weekend we were able to go down to Utah to Matt's brothers cabin, just above Park City. We had fun playing games, watching movies, sledding and we were even able to do a little snowmobiling. It was nice and relaxing and we had a great time. It was the first time the kids had played in the snow this winter, because we have hardly gotten any. The boys thought sledding was a lot of fun and the girls loved the snowmobiling. We had a really fun weekend. Thanks Pat and Jen.
