I had such a wonderful Valentines Day:) Jason puts a lot of thought and always goes the extra mile to make special occasions so fun and meaningful for me...for instance here is the creative thing he did for me last year...
This year he suprised me with a new dresser. Also, he gave Addy and I some beautiful flowers. Addy's dresser basically fell apart so we gave her my dresser and I have just kept all my clothes on the shelves in the closet. He also put one or more items of clothing in each drawer. Thank you Jason! Here are some pics of him and his little helper putting it together!
On Valentines day we had some of our siblings that could be there over for dinner and games. Jason made some good food...of course because when Jason and food are in the same sentence it is always good:) Also, Steph and Josh brought a green salad and Erin made Snicker Salad! It made for a good meal! We missed you Dad, Mom & Ryan! Wish you could have made it too!
After dinner we played Bohnanza a game I mentioned in a previous post that our cousin Luke had and we learned how to play. We loved that game so much I got it for Jason for Valentines day along with a new wallet. Addy also was my big helper and picked out a shirt and tie for her daddy and a new loofah. She said she would be a big helper around the house so she could earn those things to give to her daddy:) she is such a good helper:) Of course, Addy is our little Valentine too and we gave some fun things and she also got some fun thoughtful things from other people! Thank you everyone!
Here is a picture of her when we had a Valentine photo shoot!
We hope you all had a wonderful Valentines Day as well!
Farr's ice cream is almost synonymous with going to the Ogden Temple. I can't think of a time I've gone there when it wasn't after doing baptisms for the dead or a session. There was a coupon recently for 50% off their new store or "cafe" in the paper. Given the fact that Farr's despite popularity was always reluctant to franchise themselves, I was interested in trying it. I was blown away by how much fun the place was. It is a self-serve ice cream station where you pay by the ounce(39 cents or 6.24 Lb). You can choose from frozen custard,frozen yogurt, or ice cream. I assembled a mixture of brownie batter ice cream with a splash of blackberry yogurt. The toppings were plentiful, fresh, and delicious. They have a wide assortment of fresh fruit including kiwis, raspberries, and blueberries as well as several others. They have all the regulars topping as well as a huge assortment of candy bars. They even have cereal. I've never tried that as a topping but am planning on next time. It was great to have the variety and fun of making it. The lone drawback was the noticeable absence of whipped cream which is one of my main food groups. I was able to survive though with a few extra cherries. I also learned that ice cream weighs a lot. We ended about nine bucks for two big bowls of ice cream and some spring water. Was it worth it? Would I take visiting family and friends there? of course. It's a great experience and fun time. We then finished our date by going to Lowe's and getting paint swatches to redo our bedroom. Ashley is definitely feeling pregnant as after eating dinner she devoured the ice cream and then after Lowe's, she wanted a bag of bread sticks and a smoothie. I'm hoping her cravings will include bread and water.
