Valentine's Day

This year was Levi's 1st Valentine's Day, so Jason and I took him with us on our Valentine's Day date. We originally were going to the Olive Garden, but when we got there they were hanging out outside, and there were a lot of them. We actually decided to go on Friday instead of Saturday, but it didn't matter the wait was still the same.

We thought I-85 was going to back up so we got off on exit 54 but noticed that the cars were just slowing down not actually stopping, so we got back on the interstate from exit 54. When we were getting on the interstate I saw a tractor trailer that looked like my daddy's but I told Jason that it couldn't be him , but Jason said yes it is , and he sped up to get beside of him and I rolled down the window and waved and it really made my heart happy to be able to see him, because some weekends I don;t get to visit with him.

okay, so back to the story. We ended up at Texas steakhouse and had the best prime rib and cheese fries, ever! Levi actually ate some prime rib and cheese fries of course. Then we decided to go to Starbucks and have some coffee, I really prefer cold coffee which suits Levi just fine. So Jason and I got coffee and Levi got a double chocolate cupcake, that he really enjoyed. It was a nice Valentine's Day dinner and By the way Amelia Grace did have a better time at her Nanny and Papaw's house than she would have with us!

Birthday Party

Saturday we went to our niece's 3rd birthday party. It was a cowgirl/cowboy theme, and my brother had one of his horses there. We didn't let Amelia Grace ride on it or even sit on it for that matter, but Levi couldn't seem to leave the horse alone, he absolutely loved it. My Daddy took Levi up to pet him and he thought that was just the best thing when he got close to the horse, whose name is Flash. Amelia Grace didn't really pay much attention to Flash, unlike most little girls she doesn't want a pony, she wants a baby goat. She had a great time playing with her cousin and her new toys.

It has been 8 years??????

On Friday, January 30th, Jason and I celebrated our 8th Anniversary.  Jason took the day off of work and we loaded the children up and headed to the mountains.  They were calling for 2-3 inches of snow so we thought it would be  a great opportunity for Amelia Grace & Levi to get to see some snow.  

It was not our plan to spend the night, but we decided to at the last minute.  We had a very good time, and would do it all over again.  We went to Valle Crucius to the original Mast General Store, then we went to Pizza Hut to eat dinner(Amelia Grace's Idea).  In the morni ng we got up took a ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway and then headed to our favorite store in Blowing Rock, Cabin Fever...there we bought Levi a Second Nature Simply Irrestible Teddy Bear by the name of, "Toffee".  When Amelia Grace was a little over a year old we bought her the same kind of bear there that she sleeps with every night but his name is, "Truffle"

We left the mountains, reluctantly and went to visit with my mama &  daddy.  They ended up taking Amelia Grace to the circus later that night.  

We had a great anniversary and can't wait to celebrate #9.
