Valentines...

Jon is the Master planner. He ALWAYS plans everything and does it quite well! He has a gift for it and I never have... or maybe I just haven't had the opportunity???

At my house we do everything up real big... Birthdays, Anniversaries, Holidays, heck, even weekends! And Jon is always surprising me. Concerts, dinner at my favorite place, a weekend trip to the Bahama's... he's amazing.

I realized recently that I have NEVER in the 13 years we have been together planed something and surprised him. (And no babies don't count!) So this year I wanted to plan out valentines day for Jon. Well of cource this freaked him out a little. Ok ALOT! Mostly I think because he knows that I am such a procrastinator and he was afraid that I wouldn't make reservations fast enough and we would end up eating at Golden Corral Buffet. But little did he know I HAD A PLAN!!!!!!!!!

So the day before I refused to tell Jon anything except he needed to dress in basketball shorts, a t-shirt, and flip flops. Jon was so confused, he insisted on knowing where we were going, and when I refused to tell him he decided he wasn't going! HA... like I was taking no for an answer.

The next day, I came in the office at 2pm dressed in a t-shirt, yoga pants, flip flops, my hair in a pony tail and no make-up on and told him we needed to leave. Again... he was very concerned with the way we looked and when I told him we were dressed appropriately, well that just confused him even more! But.. like a good husband he went.

I first has us scheduled for a 1hr couples massage, followed up with these amazing spa pedicures. (admit it men even you need them every once in awhile!) After that we drove into downtown Ft. Worth and checked into the Renaissance Hotel... so beautiful! Once in the room Jon was able to change into more appropriate attire and we took a horse drawn carriage ride to dinner at Ruth Chris Steakhouse. The next morning we woke up, ate an amazing breakfast in the hotel's restaurant and went to see Bride Wars. good movie, I recommend it.





It was such a great time... and he was surprised every step of the way! I think now, he might even let me do a little planning :)

Oh and Jon had these beautiful tulips delivered to the house for me... and i surprised him by having chocolate covered strawberries delivered for him. YUMMY!!!!

Blog

Hey yall, I haven't been very good about updating this thing... It seems like someone in this family has been sick or hurt for the most part of January and February.... so blogging has been the last thing on my mind.

Jada~Faith broke her arm last month and it was quite the ordeal. Apparently she was being chased by a boy and ran into a brick wall at school. Poor thing, she broke her wrist in 2 spots and had to have a cast on for 6 weeks.



Jonathan has battled sinus infections and the flu 3 times last month. I thought the school was never gonna let him come back.

I have had 2 bouts of strep throat, a sinus infection, and the flu twice. There is nothing worse than momma being sick.

Juicyfruit had her hysterectomy and Jellybean had his vasectomy in January so they too needed some extra TLC...





Jonathan did find a way to keep them calm!



We did have some great times too!


Jonathan's soccer team won the Championship...



We threw our annual Superbowl party, and even though the cardinals lost we still managed to have a good time!



We even managed to sneak in a few date nights...





All in all, we've had a great start to 2009. In our house it's all about fun! Everyday is an adventure, and we're up for anything! Jon always says, a Family that Plays Together Stays Together!!!
