Happy Valentines Dinner

Okay so I was all ambitious this year....

You know how on Christmas Eve the stores all ready have the Valentines stuff, well I kept grabbing things here and there... I wasn't quite sure what for?

So since we are going to the Olympics over Valentines, tonight we had a Valentines dinner...so I could use all the cute stuff.



The kids loved the heart plastic champagne glasses best because they could drink it all in one shot, and clink them with each other.

Matt surprised me with two of my favorite plants...I LOVE orchids. Almost every year he gets me one, and we don't have any in the house that are currently alive. So...I told him I would take care of these two if he didn't mind.

Good Ideas?

Another year of writing the kids names x 26...

Jessica had big plans again.....let's not be ordinary...heck no.

Let's bring cupcakes mom instead of plain ol' Valentines...

Sure, sounded like a good idea 3 weeks ago. 

Horrible idea the night before.

Derby Race and President Play

Double night for us tonight. Hunter, Daddy and Logan went to the Derby race. Jessica and I headed off to her music program for her big night. She was one of the narrators. I was so proud of her because she had about 8 lines to memorize, and she didn't miss a word! Hunter did wonderful again this year. He placed first in his pack...AGAIN! Three years in a row now!

All week Jessica kept hinting she would sure think it would be neat if she received flowers after her big night. (she is funny like that, gotta love it) I tried to pretend I wasn't listening. Then she again brought it up in the car on the way there. I again acted dumb. Then I heard he quietly say, "I guess there is no flowers?". ...hee hee. I actually got her a big daffodail bouquet with a giant pink ladybug chocolate. She was overjoyed! Hee hee. Kids are so fun to mess with.

I had gotten the boys chocolate bugs too, Jess helped me put a sticker on one side that said "Congratulations!" and the other said "Better luck next time, we love you!" Because we didn't know how he did on his derby race.

Happy Third Birthday To Us!!!

Our business has made it three years! Woo hoo!

 Three years ago on Superbowl weekend our business was created and born. Lots and lots of hard work we are overjoyed at where we have gotten to. Each time we make specific goals to try to reach for that year. This year we hit our goal out of the park! AND we were able to do a couple things that we hadn't even imagined.  

In 2009 We...

Hired 4 people!!

Moved into an official building with a lease! (scary!)

Signed our first extremely LARGE reseller!

Was interviewed for the first time frome the Business Journal!
Was featured in another magazine!
Got a bookkeeper! whew, smart move.
More than exceeded our Sales Goal made last year!


This year we dreamt REALLY big, just for fun and we will see what this next year will bring. We wrote it all down, put it away to unveil next year.

Money For Haiti

Jessica came down the stairs with this today.

It says "Haydy Mony" (Haiti Money) and then an arrow pointing to the top "here".

She had transferred her previous jar of money that she was saving for the humain society to help those in Haiti. The kids are always teaching me more than I probably teach them anything.
