Be MiNe


This year Michael had to work on Valentines weekend... so we decided to celebrate the weekend before... I took 1/2 the day off on Friday.. and when I got home, Michael told me to pack an overnight bag {a little background - Michael HATES staying at hotels... he would much rather "be in his bed, then pay to stay in an uncomfortable bed" :) So this was HUGE!
He got us a room at The Anniversary Room - the Jungle Room!

It was so cool! The tub had a huge elephant head above it, and the bed was on a ledge w/ an alligator right next to it... Michael even went the extra mile and had them spread rose pedals all over the floor, tub and bed!
SOOO Romantic!!
We took Trax to the Gateway, did a little shopping then ate Sushi at the
Happy Sumo {YUMMY!!!!}
It was such a fun Valentines! He spoiled me rotten! Thanks so much babe!
I sure do love that man a lot!!!

Since Michael was working... I told Alan and April to go on a
HOT DATE
and that I would babysit the kiddos.


We watched movies, colored and ate Valentines sugar cookies!

Audrey is HILARIOUS!!! We watched one of the Tinker Bell movies, and this is how she sat:
Then at the end when all of the "Fairy Dust" Comes, she goes "WOW!" She said it like 3 times, like it was the most incredible thing she has ever seen...
even though she has seen the movie MANY times! lol.
It was so much fun to play with the kids... but MAD PROPS to A & A, 4 kids is a lot of work! And I only watched them for 4 hours before they were in bed!
But they sure are SUPER CUTE!!!
On Valentines Day, I went to my parents house for dinner....
I asked my adorable Grandma if she wanted to be my Valentine and she said
"Well I guess I could be..." Ha ha ha!
I Love Valentines!
