We had a great Valentines Day this year! My oldest brother says Valentines Day was made up by Hallmark b/c they wanted to make money....so he never celebrates it. Well, I just don't by a card...but I love having an opportunity to celebrate with a day of love for my loved ones...We spent the first part of the day enjoying a nice big breakfast with omelets, turkey sausage and smoothies. Then our friends' daughters came over for the rest of the morning. Then our kids napped in the afternoon and then our friend watched our kids for a couple hours in the late afternoon while Tom and I went to our favorite mexican restaurant and then to Chucke Cheese to have some kid free "kid" fun. We got our kids and came home...put them to bed and played Dominion (the game I got Tom for V-day-it was recommended by Tom's brother Mar and is SO fun! Thanks Mar) and then watched a movie in bed...it was an excellent day! Tom went off chocolate with me for two weeks before V-day so I made him homemade chocolates, and gave him girl scout cookies and Dominion..

It was an exciting day! We got a package from Grandma H., roses from Daddy, and valentines from cousins! Here are some cute pics and videos from the day... the kids were in the crib together laughing and cuddling as their dad was playing with them...you can see the last video. It melts my heart to see them play and laugh together! I love it so much!

still catching up with pictures!
sweet Maddie in the middle! She's one great nanny!
This was Max after getting treated to a berry smoothie...it sort of looks like he got a big kiss from a lipstick wearing lady!
Tom's making a goofy face this time. He had been around Dan too long! ;-)

A Movie I recommend..
It seems like there are so many movies that are just a waste of your time...I really enjoy ones that lift your soul. So, The Road Home....go check it out for an soul-moving 2 hours!
Anybody, have any other good recommends?

Denver Botanic Gardens
So, I'm still catching up...but here's few pics from the Denver Botanic Gardens last month. I loved it here and b/c of construction and the fact it was January, we were only able to see the main building! Even still, it was incredible. I'm a flower/plant person so I was fascinated by it all and can't wait to go back when we can see even more...
my little bro. Daniel...he's a goofy face making genius!

Mile High city zoo...January 19, 2009
I know...I am weeks behind! Anyway, on Martin Luther King, Jr. day, the weather was gorgeous in Colorado....at least the eastern side of Colorado (have I mentioned that I LOVE Colorado?) and the zoo and the Denver Botanical Gardens had a free day. My brother Dan was here visiting so we took off early that morning to head to the zoo first then the Botannical Gardens. It was SO busy at the zoo. We had to walk a mile or so to get to where Tom parked the car...but, it was worth it and we had lots of fun....
