About Me

Welcome to my blog! I am a wife and a Mommy of three. We have 2 daughters, Reagan and Hayden and a son, Grasyon. Here I write about our life happenings and try to capture memories the best I can. I hope this helps keep those close to us, in Texas, Iowa, Illinois, and beyond, a little more up to date while we're away. Enjoy!

Valentine's Weekend

Saturday night we just hung out. We tried to go to the gym but we forgot the Kids Club closed at 2 pm, so we just came back home. Our weekends aren't really weekends because Darrin works on Saturdays, they are more like a one quick day with him. But we always enjoy our Sunday, I think it makes us appreciate the day even more.








Then Sunday morning I woke up to Darrin sneaking back in bed. Even though it was only 7 am he was already wearing a t-shirt and shorts. I am not going to go any further but I will say the grocery store next to our apartment is open 24 hours and they do sell Valentine's stuff. (i.e. balloons, cards, flowers) With that being said, I got a very cute card, a bouquet of flowers and a balloon that sings if you touch it. After Reagan woke up we cooked a big breakfast and made a trip up to the gym. Later on we all took naps before we headed out to walk the beach. It was a beautiful day, high 70's and sun shine.

Notice her outfit?!?! I MADE IT!! It's my very first outfit ever!! It doesn't look perfect up close, but I did it!!




























After Coranado we came home and cooked a nice dinner. Darrin grilled salmon, we had sweet potatoes, green beans and fixed my sister's famous beer margaritas. I can never find a drink I like, but these were really good! Here is the recipe. After dinner I let Reagan have a little bit of a cupcake that I made!














Here is what we got her for Valentine's. Since she is so into coloring we got her an easel. I have never heard of Melissa and Doug supplies before, but I love love their stuff. I didn't realize it said for ages 3 and up, oh well, I think she will still be able to enjoy it. She's pretty tall, maybe I will just have to get her a small step stool!
