HAPPY VALENTINES DAY 2010

Valentines day was great this year with Nate planning a big day and night for us. He managed to drag in a few of our friends to play along. First the guys let all of us ladies go out to the spa and get facials, then go shopping and out to lunch. When I got home he told me to grab my "going out to a nice place" clothes and I went to my friend Michelle's house where we were told to "get ready". Then we left the 2 babysitters with all 6 of our kids and went to our house. When we walked in the guys had decorated the whole place with crate paper and twinkling lights all the way up to the ceiling, and they MADE US DINNER! What did we ever do to deserve all this besides take care of their children and clean their house and dishes, and clothes?

Here is everyone eating dinner, I kept asking the girls who's table cloth that was, because I had never seen it before. Come to find out, it is one of our old sheets. Nice. Gotta give Nate a little credit here, he did think of everything else. He even had little dinner conversation starters like where did we all meet. It was fun to hear everyone's story.

Once again a really bad picture of both of us, but here we are, in love on Valentines day.

After dinner the fun began with a dance party. No I'm not kidding, we really had a dance party. Nate whipped up some old music from high school that we all danced to.

It was awsome! Then we went out and got some desert and visited with everyone. It was so fun to pretend like we were going to the prom again and get all dressed up. I can't believe Nate thought up of all this himself. He is such a great husband, and a really great Valentine. The babysitter mentioned that she never wanted to have 6 kids under the age of 4.

MY SUGAR BABY

Not much going on here, just getting ready for Valentine's day. Brystal and I went to a Valentine's party and got lot's of treats. I don't let her have candy too often, but when I do, she loves it.

Mmmmmmmmm-

Mmmmaaaaaaaa!

SEE YA!

Brystal is so funny because now she says see ya instead of bye bye. Well she still says bye, but see ya is cuter. And I can never get her to say it around people, so this was my video proof of her saying it. Also, we had just got home from a little valentine's playgroup party so she is eating her sucker she got from that. She is growing up so fast.

THE WAY I AM

Since it was Valentines day I was reminissing the good old days...Our very first Valentines Day together, we had been engaged for about 2 weeks. Nate and a group of his friends who all happened to be dating my friends, had all been to the same mission together. They took us to this old building that used to be a school, but was now being used as a studio in Logan. Someone apparently had the hookups. The guys got all dressed up for us, as did us girls, and they made us a German dinner. I don't remember exactly what we had, just that it was some kind of fried chicken stuff, but it was very delicious, and I was quite impressed with their cooking skills. Oh and I forgot to mention that they totally decorated this place out with twinkly lights and balloons and all. Then to top it off, the music started and we all started to slow dance. It was probably the most romantic date I have ever been on, even though I had to share it with 4 other couples. (by the way those other couples are all now happily married) Anyways, I'll never forget that day.





Thank you Nathan for always staying with me and loving me no matter what. We are perfect for eachother and I can't imagine being with anyone else. I love everyday I have with you. And so I dedicate this song to you, for loving me "The Way I am".
