Fantastic

That is how I'd describe our weekend. Lane sent me flowers, chocolate, and bath soaps on Thursday. I love these flowers because they last so long, they are even prettier now that they have fully opened.

Don't let this fool you...she just didn't want to wear the apron, she wanted you to see her cute outfit:)

Just one more, I'm sorry I think this is so sad and cute at the same time. Mama, NOT FAIR..I don't want to wear it...sorry Aunt Amy, maybe next year?

Ok Mama, that is better, I'm a heartbreaker for sure

My precious Valentine

Blowing YOU kisses!

My Granny has a Publisher's Clearinghouse problem. She really thinks that if you order something she will have a better chance of winning....we've told her she doesn't. Mom has to really watch her to keep from ordering too much. She said she remembered me saying I wanted one of these...don't remember saying that, but secretly I did think it would be fun. Guess what I got for my birthday..a few weeks early! Mom couldn't stop her this time. It made perfect little brownies-no messy cut lines...seriously people, this is too fun. It would make great perfect individual cakes...yes, I know those are cupcakes, but they would be square..I could get creative-watch out.

Dr. Pepper cake - one of the best cakes - EVAH!

YUMMY! Here are all the goodies we made.....Mom made the cookies, I added the details and made all the others. We had a baking morning at Granny's and then Dad helped make chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes and gravy...should've got a picture of our plates.

The strawberries have a surprise inside-cheesecake filling!

Lena Kate's first time down for Children's time. She wasn't paying attention-surprise, surprise. We had LOTS of kids in church Sunday. Usually there are only 2 0r 3. This was nice to see. Pastor Patti had balloons for the kiddos too.

LK's sweet friend Katie. She was patting her hair and gave her a hug right after this.

Helping at the church luncheon...carrying a box as big as she is...one of her favorite hobbies. She got this precious dress for her birthday from Cousin Charles' Aunt Candy (aunt on the other side :) It fits her perfect and has cute pockets in the front with red and gold buttons.

Mom, this is how you wash a car. Lena Kate had such fun "helping" Mama wash her car. She was filthy-head to to. For some silly reason she thought the soap bubbles were tasty and even got down on her hands and knees to try to lick it up off the driveway - YUK! This messiness is worthy of it's own post later in the week...she was such a mess, but loved every minute of it. I tell you in all honesty she is already a tomboy at 1 year old, a sweet loving tomboy that sure looks cute in a dress and bow. Oh, and she looks cute all messy and dirty too!

There was some Daddy daughter time too. Lane had just come home from riding, see the tall boots and spurs? That is my Cowboy Lane!

We had a wonderful weekend making goodies and then churching it yesterday. After church we came home and just enjoyed the afternoon outside. It was a beautiful day. Last night I made a nice dinner of fried shrimp, fried zuchinni and pasta alfredo. It was tasty for sure. We have a tradition of cooking fried shrimp for Valentine's dinner and just enjoying ourselves. I think we've been doing it for 4 or 5 years now. I hope we keep up this tradition. Lane is such a wonderful Valentine everyday and we are so blessed.

Missy even had a Valentine since she stole 2 brownies and a cookie. A little someone helped pull the plate on the floor...wonder who that little heartbreaker could've been.
