Valentines Dinner

Saturday night our church had a couples Valentines dinner that we attended. My parents came out to watch the kids for us, while we dressed up and spent a romantic evening with 7 other couples. lol Okay, it was fun and we did win the game, earning us a gift card to Cheesecake Factory, but we were both wishing we had skipped the group dinner and went out on a date just the two of us.

Here we are all dressed up! This only happens once or twice a year, so we have to take a picture! lol
and of course, Elsie just had to be in a picture too!

Bikes and Dogs

All three kids got new bikes for Christmas from us. Well, they are not actually brand new, but new to them. Since kids grow so fast, we decided it would be a waste of money to buy expensive new bikes, only to have to go out and purchase newer & larger ones next year. Instead, we purchased used ones from a retired guy who buys and fixes them up from auctions & yard sales. Our kids LOVE them! None of them have quite figured out how to find their balance to ride alone yet, but they are having fun having us help hold them up while they ride. Yes, I am hoping they figure it out soon, so we can go on family rides!


While Wayne helped Kya ride, these two asked me to take their pictures with their dogs.
