Brandon's Birthday!

Brandon's birthday was this last weekend!

My calendar reminder on my phone

I snuck downstairs the night before his birthday and got the family room all decorated for the big day!  We didn't really do much the night of his birthday, just got some take-out and he opened his presents.  On Saturday we did more of the celebrating!

Decorations for the big day!

Diesel was so proud - he could tell something was up with all of the balloons. LOL!

Saturday, we went to a movie "Oz the Great and Powerful" (cute) and out to dinner at Goodwood - one of our favorite places to go ... so good!

Sure do love this man-o-mine!  Happy birthday my love!

Waffle Love

As you may or may not know, we love finding fun places to visit close to home!  Well, Brandon took me on a fun little adventure to a new place this morning!  

He took me to a super fun food truck  - Waffle Love!

I've been wanting to go for a bit, but we've never made it until today.  It was incredibly rich and delicious!  And ... I loved every single bite! ;-)

I'm glad we showed up just after they opened - by the time we got our waffles there were easily (at least) 20 people in line.  It's pretty darn popular!

Oh! ... and check out the fun cartoons of us! LOL!

I made them on this fun app called iMadeFace - it's a fun one to play around with ... if you're interested! ;-)

Have a great weekend!  

Day on the town!

I love family time with my man!  Brandon planned a nice date for us this weekend ... I sure do love when he plans stuff for us to do!  I really should do more of the planning myself, but he's so good at it ... and we always have so much fun together!

First, to the movies!  We LOVE going to the movies!  I love getting movie popcorn too, and yes, I drown it in butter, LOL!  I also only eat a little bit too -- sometimes I think I'm going to eat more of it (like yesterday), so we got a medium, and after a few handfuls I'm done.  I feel bad throwing all of that extra away ... but it sure is good! ;-)

Then, to a late lunch at Red Lobster.  I haven't been there in a while! Good food, great company, and a fun time looking at the little lobsters in the tank too!

The Love Day

We hope you had a fun loving Valentine's Day!  

We had a great Valentine's day - which actually started the night before Valentine's with two fun visits!

Our first visitor was an anonymous one who left hearts on our door and goodies on our doorstep!  What a fun surprise!

Our second visitors were my cousin and his adorable girlfriend  (I set them up by-the-way)!  They brought us delicious cupcakes and we had a great visit!

Then, the LOVE DAY itself!  The night before I wait until Brandon hops in the shower and I get to work hiding treats and surprises with cheezy love notes around the house and in his car.

Some of Brandon's surprises - I love hearing him laugh as he finds each one in the morning.

And he sent me a dozen long stem roses and balloons!  So sweet!  He sure does spoil me, and I love every bit of it!

I've gotten to be quite the pro at bringing home a huge vase of flowers over the years, thanks to Brandon!

Me, my flowers, and yes holiday hair clips - my preschool kids love it. :-)

My valentine decorations - a "Love" sign I already had and my flowers!

Last year we started the tradition of making chocolate fondue on Valentine's Day - and I continued the tradition last night!  We wanted to start a fun tradition that we can carry on when we have kids some day!

Happy LOVE Day to you!  I hope you had a fun day!
