Valentines Day

Valentines was fun. Both kids had valentines again this year. Jackson and Emily (little sister to Ashleigh's best friend, Kylee) were valentines for the 4th year in a row. So cute. I had an adorable picture of Jackson standing in front the the valentines isle at the store trying to decide what to get her. But, Jackson deleted it off my phone because he thought it was embarrassing. So you will just have to picture a little boy standing in front of wall to wall candy, flowers, & stuffed animals, it looked like an overwhelming decision. He ended up getting her a cute stuffed animal and a box a chocolates. Ashleigh gave her valentine a stuffed animal, which she had just gotten from one of her teachers as a prize the previous week.


I had all sorts of treats on my desk when I got into work. That night, I took Rusty and the kids out to dinner at Sizzler. Rusty had never been there since there are no Sizzlers in Iowa and I hadn't been there for years. It was one of the most entertaining meals in a long time. My kids are hilarious. The food was delicious. We all filled up on the salad bar items and ended up taking our main course home. We ended up with so much food. Admittedly we all filled our to go boxes with extras from the salad bar before we left and on our way out, Ashleigh whispered to me that there was an avocado in my purse! Silly girl.


I got a sweet homemade valentine from Jackson and Rusty gave me some jewelry, which I got to pick out. Great day.

We sent off a a package to Rusty's parents with a bunch of pictures from the last few months and Rusty had bought is mom a bracelet and matching earnings. We were surprised to come home to a big box on our doorstep a couple days later. His parents had send us a valentines box also! His parents, but his mom especially really love dogs and they were so excited when we got Copper. They sent us a fun care package full of things for Copper. They had wrapped each thing individually so we had fun taking turns to open each item. I couldn't believe they sent three Cezar Millan (the world renowned dog behavioral specialist) books on CD, and I was so excited to listen to them.
