Oh ya, I had a great Valentine's Day

I don't have pictures, but believe me I am one spoiled wife. Cade bought me a really pretty sort of antique-ish looking clock with a pendulum. It matches my bedroom colors perfectly and I can't wait to hang it up....we just haven't had time yet. And just when I thought he did such a great job with his gift, he pulled out a little box. Inside was a bracelet and I thought it was so pretty and then he made it even better when he told me they are real diamonds (1/3 karot total) set in sterling silver. I'm still not sure if I should've been mad at him for spending so much though when we don't really have all that much money, but I just couldn't be mad because I love it so much.

However, we did save money by cooking dinner at home instead of going out to eat. I decided I'd rather cook and spend a little extra on his gift than go out to eat. I got him a good looking black polo-type shirt, a new bottle of my favorite-smelling cologne--Lucky You, and a Dallas Cowboys necktie. I was hoping to find a more dressy shirt that could go with the tie, but that didn't work out. Anyways, we had fun and the best thing was that we got to spend lots of time together last weekend with the holiday Monday.

Such Cute Kids

I've decided posts without pictures are not so much fun and I never know what to say. So here's just some cute pictures of the kids.



Jaylee with her daddy's elk antlers. She's almost as tall as them.



Jaylee being an elk using railroad track pieces as antlers. At first she just had one on each side, but then she told me she would "grow bigger" and added anther piece to each side.....she does a great elk call too.




Rance trying to read a book. Forget the kids' books, he's going straight for the novels.

Daddy Jed and Rance comparing tongues......now we see where Jaylee gets her really long tongue, too.

This is my favorite picture of all. He just looks so sweet.

Kinley's 3rd Birthday

Sometimes I wonder what thoughts go through kids' brains.....so here are my interpretations based on what we caught on camera.



Kinley: "How the heck am I going to get this thing open?"
Jaylee: "Don't worry sis, I'm here to help."



Kinley: "Well that was fun, what's next?"



Jaylee: "Sweet, I can't wait to play with this."



Kinley: "Yay, a bear."
Jaylee: "I wanna see too."



Kinley: "Get away from my bike; this is mine."

Kinley: "This is the closest thing you're getting to a smile for the camera."

This is my brother Cory helping Cade make a fire to burn the rest of our garbage before we left for home. The dog in the background is Itchy. Usually these two are good at making fires, but they didn't have much success with this one. They basically burned everything by hand then we took the rest of it with us.
