Jeff's Sunday Birthday Dinner Extravaganaza!

On Sunday night, I held a birthday dinner party for Jeff! I made a creamcheese roll appetizer, Chicken Cordon Bleu, Roasted Red potatoes, and a tres leches cake topped with strawberries and peaches! Yum! Jeff's family and friends came over at around 5:30, and we watched the playoff football game and had good food!

Painting...shelves..carpet cleaning..and a park day.

So Tuesday...the 18th...we FINALLY finished painting our chairs and tables!! Looks soo much better all solid black!!! Then yesterday, we hung up our first set of shelves on the walls!! woohoo!! we do have 2 empty picture frames on the shelves..waiting for our wedding pictures, so we can put those in the frames!! We also took Lily on her first trip to the park!! She loved it! She loves to run and run chasing her ball! These little boys were even throwing a football and she took off full speed trying to get their football! It was hilarious!! Then, today, we rented a carpet cleaner to get out all those winter stains from wet shoes! We finally bought a rug to put in front of the front door when you walk in to hopefully prevent the black carpet from reappearing! And to top it off, Monday's Jeff's 26th birthday!! So Sunday night I am throwing him a little birthday dinner party at our house with his family and close friends! Im going to make him a Tres Leches cake per his request, found a good Betty Crocker recipe for that! woo hoo! Now i need to go grocery shopping to make everything!!

 She loves her ball!

 Look at the difference!!

Yesterday we were fortunate enought to go to the Jazz game with Jeff's family ( Julie and Trent, Lindsey and Brian)..thanks to Jeff's brother Brian for inviting us! It was ten times better watching the Jazz game in the LOWER BOWL for once! Ahh yeah!! And the best part was..Ryan Seacrest was there!! Watching the game with his Dancing With The Stars girlfriend! And of coarse Jazz beat the Detroit Pistons which made for a fun time! The funnest part: JEFF LET ME SHAVE HIS
HEAD!! Victory!! First time he has done that since highschool..he looks so handsom!!

 Go Jazz!!
