Valentines Day 2011

So this year was our first Valentines day being married!! Unfortunately Jeff and I both had to work...I had to work at the salon from 9-6 and Jeff has school and had to work from 2:30-11..boo!! But while i was getting ready for work, Jeff got up and made me breakfast...eggie in a basket and bacon and an orange yum! When i got home from work, i walked into our apartment to find streamers, ballons, a dozen red roses, toy story 3, chocolates and my favorite...a homemade card from Jeff!! I made Jeff his own Valentines Day coupon book..so i left that out for him when i left that morning for work. When Jeff got home from work i had his valentines dinner waiting for him on the table..steak, mashed potatoes, ceasar salad and garlic cheese bread! This coming Thursday we will be going out for valentines day...we are staying in a hotel down town and then we are going out to eat at Corbins..its a steakhouse! so excited!! well here's some pictures from yesterday...

Date Nights = Temple Nights

I just love my husband! I love that he helps me keep our goal of going to the temple everyother week! The temple is something that is so near and dear to my heart, i just love it so much! You cant feel peace like that anywhere else in this world! To make things interesting we go to different temples! Its also been an awesome experience to do family names for my family! We also go out to dinner either before or after our trip to the temple...last night we went to the Jordan River Temple, followed by a yummy diiner at Olive Garden!! The perfect night!

Lily Goes to the Groomer...and Gets to Babysit!

Today was Lily's first time going to the doggie groomers!! She went to Doggie Doo's! It was soooo hard for me to leave her!! I wanted to cry when i dropped her off haha! But i went to pick her up at 2 and she was so shiny and soft and smelt soo good, and her nails were nice and trimmed! They said she was soo good and was such a sweetheart, but it made me sad when they told me they gave her a treat and she wouldnt even eat it, she was probably too worried that we abandoned her! Sad!! Then when we got home, we babysat Embree while Tiff worked at the salon 3-8! Lily got so jealous of me giving Embree attention! It was hilarious! Now we are making homemade oatmeal rasin cookies, and again, trying to work on my talk for Sunday! ha!

I also got my roots redone thanks to the lovely Julianna! She does such an awesome job! After i got my lashes done, Jeff and i got lunch at firehouse subs. sooo good!

Happy Birthday Jeffie!!

So..yesterday was my husbands birthday!! He turned 26 ahh yeah!! I had to open at the salon that morning... i worked 9-2..and jeff had to go to school! Then i came home to find jeff taking a nap with Lily! I woke him up and we got ready and went to the mall. We got my ring cleaned and redipped, and looked at getting me a new wedding band that i could wear to work when i do hair. After that, we went shopping at nordstroms rack, and pier 1 imports. Then we went to dinner at Ruby River steakhouse. We had a shrimp cocktails and steaks for dinner. After, we went and looked at frames and more house decorations at micheals and ross. We came home to find some yummy cookies left on our front porch from a secret person haha. We played our favorite game sequence and watched movies the rest of the night.

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!!
