I just wish they said the name of the studio or got a shot of the signage or something, but he got the counter, which is awesome. I love it. Not to brag, but it gave me goosebumps.

Happy Valentine's Day

Good morning and happy Valentine's Day. I hope you are get sweet goodies from your special someone. Brian and I gave Reagan a basket with some play food and 4 tiger barbs to go in her new fish tank. She was excited, but not quite as excited as I was hoping for. She has gone in her room about 20 times this morning to go check on her fishies, so that's really cute. Brian got me a Pandora bracelet and 3 charms (square I love you, little girl (from Reagan) and a cupcake). Just what I wanted.

We had a great vacation. Here is a recap
We arrived late Tuesday night. In the morning we did local sightseeing and had a ton of fun. Here is a cool story--
Sean's favorite baseball player is John Smoltz. He used to pitch for the Braves but just got traded. A while back the local Arizona paper did a piece on John Smoltz's parents owning a local business--a distributorship. Low and behold it is in the next town over from my parents. You know what comes next, we take Sean there--just to take a picture.



While we are there this guy comes out and starts talking to us--where you from, what is new, yada yada. My dad starts to tell him how big of a fan Sean is and this guys goes, "Wanna meet Mrs. Smoltz?" Ah sure! We are then introduced to John Smoltz's mom. Sean was actually kinda speechless. It was so funny. She was really nice and didn't think we were stalkers--Always a good thing!

We then grabbed some lunch, looked at cacti. We also did some local shopping. Sean found us a good shopping cart.



Thursday and Friday we went to the Grand Canyon and the Hoover Dam. We spent a lot of time in the car. We had a little cabin at the Canyon and just had fun. Oh we got really close to some mule deer. We saw a coyote too (sorry no picture).




(I will post some Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam pictures separately)

When we got home Friday night, we were all exhausted and I wasn't feeling quite right. I woke up on Saturday with a fever of 101!! My parents had a previous festival to go to so I just slept pretty much all day. I went from shivers to sweating to back to shivers. It was bad. By Sunday, my fever had broken but I started this hacking cough......I still have this stupid cough.
Monday we went to see a movie and Tuesday I popped a Nyquil and flew home. Sean was thrilled that I used him as a pillow!!

I was back to work on Wednesday and lived on cough drops! My office was slow when I left on vacation but it was nuts when I got back.
It is now Friday and I am slowly getting better. Good news!

Just wanted to share...

...this with you. This is part of my valentine's gift for my Kirk. I put it in a frame for his desk at work. My Dad took it for me. I initially tried with the timer and had a tough time and jazz would never sit still so Dad to the rescue. I think this turned out pretty cute. Now, I want Kirk to take one for me :o). I know...I am cheesey but, what did you expect? XOXOXOX Wishing you all a very Happy Valentine's Day with your loves! I love you my sweet buds.

What a big girl.

Before

Yes, I cut her hair. It was getting totally ridiculous and it was always falling in her eyes. I know that would have driven me crazy, so I figured it was probably bothering her as well. She was a real trooper and just sat as still as could be and didn't cry or anything. As you can see, the place was pretty cool. I wish they had places like this when I was a kid.


During

After

They also put cute little clips in her hair, and sparkles, but I didn't end up with a cute picture of that. She looks so much older now, it's hard to look at. The baby is all gone!
