Discover Fort Wayne 2010-February

So our February Discover Fort Wayne was not very exciting. This month seemed to fly by (maybe because there are only 28 days?). We actually did just a dinner and a movie, however we did it for less than $20.00. First we went to Fridays for dinner. They currently have the special of an appetizer, main dish, and dessert for $12.99. We split, which was the perfect helping size, not too full; not too hungry.
After wards we went to the "sticky shoes" as we call it. To others it is known as the Coventry 13 $3.00 theater. The movie was cute. Not one that I would buy or ever rent again but at 10:00 at night was good enough.

Discover Fort Wayne 2010-January

So our discovery for January was this great hill in Columbia City (about 15 minutes west). We went sledding with our friends the Fey's. Of course my battery died when I was about to take the picture of it. So once I get the pics from Jana I will be able to add the pictures in to this post. The hill was not too steep that it was hard to climb up but it was angled well enough to send you way out into the field before your sled stopped. It was so much fun and the cost was free. Try this out with your family.

A Valentines Story

So I thought I would get crafty this Valentine's day and I went to Hobby Lobby (one of my most favorite stores) and bought a fake wood mail box and some cute scrapbook paper. I then covered the afore mentioned mailbox with said paper and this is what I got.

The black letters say Love Letters if you couldn't make it out.

Then every day until Vday I would put a love letter in it letting my sweetie know how much I love him and why. We decided to keep it up all the time. So when the flag is up that means someone has a love letter waiting for them.

This last Saturday I was out running errands and couldn't understand why the traffic was horrific. Then it dawned on me that the next day was Valentines and all the lame-o last minute shoppers were out trying to woo their intended with flowers (which die) and/or chocolate (which makes you fat). I was very put out. I mean I could have walked to office depot and Aldi's faster than it took me to drive for crying out loud.

I don't know if its just me but I am not HUGE into Valentine's Day. I think it is because everyday is Valentines Day for me. Brock does sweet things all the time with out hints or I want this or whatever. I know I am loved and appreciated everyday. So I guess I don't need a selected day of the year. Just me I guess. I am happy for all of you fellow bloggers who get into the day and get what you want.

My first time

I know there will be many more of these conversations throughout my parenting career, however, today was my first of "I don't love you." and "I don't care about you anymore." I believe I also heard a "dangit" muttered while going up the stairs and a "shut your mouth" through the closed bedroom door. What caused all of these harsh words and hurt feelings? It would be the simple, "No Emily, you may not have a bottle to play with in the living room" I would hate to see what happens when it is something big. What or who is it that posses my sweet little angel and turns her into this little demon and how do I get rid of it?

Moving on Up

Well little Miss is moving on up on the growth chart. She is now in the 45th percentile for height and the 15th percentile for weight. Compared to big sister who was always 75th percentile for height and 25th percentile for weight. I think Em is taking after Brock and Meghan me. But he thinks Emily will grow fast then stop like I did and Meg will hit a growth spurt. Only time will tell.

The Best Day Ever

So yesterday was my best day so far this year. Too bad it was only the 5th day of the month. I got to sleep in until 7:45. It is mostly because Brock and I slept through the alarm and then our back up alarm (Emily) slept in so she didn't wake us up until then. He was late and rushed but hey I got to sleep in. I got my scriptures, Ensign article, and Church News article read, worked out, got the whites washed and dried (they got put away this morning), got the bedrooms picked up and vacuumed, had dinner in the crock pot so it was done no hassle. I worked out, stayed within my caloric intake goal, had a good team connect, had companionship study, played with my kids and watched Episode 1 of Cranford. It doesn't get any better than that. Today on the other hand isn't bad but its not as great as yesterday. Speaking of which I better go see what Emily is getting into I just heard her pulling the step stool around the kitchen floor.
