Birthdays! Jason's was delayed as his big present was a ski trip to Utah! he had a blast
staying with uncle rich and aunt susan and skiing with friends and family.
next year we hope to all go and teach the boys to ski!
i absolutely love these mountain pictures. makes me wish i was there, even though
i always forget how cooooold it is.....and how bad at skiing i am....
my birthday celebration! i took grant out of school and met Jason at a Japanese
steakhouse, where they cook the food right there, and the boys loved it.
they loved being entertained with fire while we ate.
while Jason went back to work, it was a beautiful day so we went
to feed the horses and the Houston police horse barn.
the lucky horse who has the stall closest to the parking lot. i bet he gets fed
a lot. these horses are awesome. all so big and gentle and well trained.
i had to keep dragging grant away from this cat who was following
us around. grant kept saying "can we go to a cat farm? and pet all the cats?
do they have those? can we go?" haha.
my favorite one! a huge gentle Belgian.
poor chase really wanted to feed the horses, but wouldn't get any closer than this!
he was scared of the "big teeth." so he just ended up eating the carrots.
valentine's day! super fun. here's the boys opening their little gifts/candy they woke up to.
whoops, this picture is crooked, but Jason really went all out for my birthday and valentine's
day. he was so nice. he surprised me with gifts and a homemade spa day, made a super
dinner, and was so good with the boys. i felt really lucky. it's my turn to be in charge of our
anniversary and i'd better start planning/thinking of some great ideas!
so i'm not much of a beef eater, but this dinner was sooo good. beef sirloin steaks
with wilted spinach and blue cheese. and roasted potatoes. and an appetizer of cheese
and crackers. and lots of chocolate for dessert. good chocolate too.
oh my gosh, it was amazing!
valentine's dinner!
grant's great photography skillz.... :)
and then he surprised me with a 2 hour horse back ride! got a babysitter and everything.
it was awesome. beautiful weather, being together outside, riding horses - all things i love.
