Valentines Day!!


On Friday afternoon I went and helped at Aubreys' class with their party. I had the treat so I brought sugar cookies and frosting and sprinkles for the kids to decorate their own. Later that night Brandon and I went to the annual Firefighters of Springville past and present Valentines dinner. It was at the art museum and it was FREE. After the dinner we dropped off my in-laws who went with us and I gave Brandon a card that had a car on front and it said how he drives me crazy and you open it and it says and "I love it". I wrote why don't you drive us somewhere now for a few nights away. Can you guess where? Well I think he already had an idea earlier but he knew it was the Zermatt resort in Midway. We had a couple of free night certificates so why not. We started watching twilight that night in our room and I fell asleep early on but Brandon watched it all and started another movie called Fireproof( we highly recommend this for married couples by the way). We slept late and went to eat at the hub in Heber. We went and drove around Park City awhile. We actually parked and watched the skiers and snowboarders for a while, we don't do that stuff so it was fun to watch. Later being on a no money adventure we headed for dinner at taco bell ( I know so romantic). We also went to see Ink Heart, its a Brendan Fraiser movie. It was a good one timer. We had lots of fun just relaxing in the hot tub and making smores at the resort. It was so good to escape for a little while. Hope everyone else had a great one too.

My new little neice is born

My sister Kellie and her husband Craig now have a new little one named Madison Lynn that was born on Monday-groundhog day. She was born at 4:58 pm. She was 5 lbs and 15 ozs. 18 inches and so sweet and cute with lots of dark curly hair. My sis is a champ and had her au-natural and didn't even scream. I told her she should have ten kids. I am such a proud aunt.

our cruise to the Caribbean

Posted by Picasa. It was sad to have to come back to our cold barren wasteland. Thanks to Sprinkler World who paid for the trip. We look forward to a different trip every year. The food is so good and the three pounds I had lost is back on again. We stopped at San Juan (puerto rico), St Thomas(US virgin islands), Grand Turk, and the private island owned by the cruise line called Half Moon Cay. The private island was our favorite. Its my idea of heaven. I could have stayed there forever. I did get a little sea sick and decided I wouldn't be able to exercise on the cruise. Come visit the Jerk Shack in orem if you get a chance. Bye for now.
