VALENTINE'S DAY 2009.

I have to say, my nephew Garrett, hands-down, got the BEST Valentine this year!  There are only THREE girls in Garrett's class and one of those little girls wrote him a card that says, Garrett B.--good, loving, caring man!  He is in SECOND GRADE!!!  What a stud!

Valentine's Day was a busy day for me this year!  As I was in Cascade, waiting for my youngest nephew to arrive, I was able to be with all of my family!  My sister Laura had spent Wednesday night in the hospital after her labor started but then abruptly stopped.  They discharged her Thursday morning but warned her that when her labor started again,  it would likey progress very quickly.  Makayla's last basketball game was Saturday morning so all of us attended that--fully expecting Coach Laura to deliver right there on the gym floor!  Fortunately, she was able to coach her last game without making school history!  I have to say, I am pretty proud of her for coaching basketball MEGA-PREGO!


After the game we went downtown and ate at Grandma's Restaurant, where my Aunt Brenda just happened to be cooking!  Knowing she would be preparing our meal, we put in a few special requests with our orders.
Small towns ROCK!

For Valentine's Day Dad made this BIRDHOUSE for my mom!

He modeled her birdhouse after this drawing in one of her calendars!
Isn't he awesome?!

  
And Mom gave Dad NIGHT VISION GOGGLES!

We are going to have way too much fun with these!

And FINALLY, my cousin Cassie got me hooked on making these . . .

I must say those wild men you have in your life are amazing, even the cave man is good with his hands. Your mom must love the birdhouse, I do. And that sexy country singer has tons going for him as well. I love this blog, Tess. Thank you Aunt Jan
