Elk Feeding Station

Hi friends!  A few weeks ago we got the chance to go check out the elk at the Elk Feeding Station.  (Not super exciting to me, but certainly one of my husbands favorite things...) :) (Side note, we went shed antler hunting at this same place a couple years ago and I got rattled at by a rattle snake.  Super fun.)  Since we made reservations early, Jeff and Julianna, along with the rest of our group, were able to go out in the truck that feeds the elk.  Here are a few shots:

We had a great time on Jeff's day off.  And of course loved the trip to Miner's.  Yummy.  Love and Miss you all!

Outside Fun in Feb

Hey friends! It's almost the middle of March, how time flies! Little Jenna is growing like a weed and Julianna loves being a big sis (most of the time). :) Here a few of us playing outside, Julianna's favorite thing to do!

I couldn't resist! :)

Here we are in my birthday present. Thank you Mom and Dad and my sweet husband!

Thank you sweet Nita for the jammies!  We both love them!!

There was a day that although it was chilly, the weather was nice and sunny, so we bundled up the girls and took them to the park.  She loves playing with her daddy!

And here are some of us just goofing around at home:

she went and got the blanket out of Jenna's carseat and put it on like a poncho, so cute!

And even though these look so horrible of me (I had JUST woken up), they are so cute of my little sweetheart, so I had to include them! :)  She loved seeing me take the picture and them look at it on the screen.

As always, love you my very sweet, precious girls!

Valentine's Day

Normally Jeff and I have a pretty simple meal on Valentine's Day.  We like to get a heart shaped pizza (so I don't have to cook) and then I'll make a big yummy salad and dessert.  This year I decided to do something special and now I remember why I like to keep it simple! :) Here are some shots of our Valentine's Day dinner!  It sure was yummy but I'm going back to ordering pizza next year!

Cesar salad with homemade dressing, homemade croutons and parmigiano-reggiano shavings

twice baked potatoes (kind of a sloppy mess, but yummy)

T-bone steaks with red wine sauce

 bittersweet chocolate souffles for dessert

Yum!!

My little sweetheart, 3 1/2 months old!

So precious!!

Julianna was not enjoying the photo session!

I love my thumb! :)

Thank you for the gorgeous dresses, Aunt Nita!!

A few from January

I can't believe where the time has gone!  I was getting on to post some pictures from Valentine's Day and realized I didn't have any from January.  Here are just a few that show the mundane, yet wonderful life we lead!

Jeff's races

Jeff has recently got into running and even competed in a couple 5Ks.  Way to go, babe!  The crazy thing is that it snowed the morning of both races.  The first he pushed Julianna in the jogger but with the second the snow was too deep so we cheered him on from the car.  Here are some fun pictures!

After the Turkey Trot, Thanksgiving morning.

This was after the Cable Bridge Run on December 18.

So cute, she picked this up and pretended to put it on, without any prompting from us!  I think we might have a runner on our hands!

Christmas Card

So we finally got our Christmas Card Picture taken (thanks Darrain!).  It was hard narrowing it down but we did pick one.  Which is your favorite? :)

This was my favorite of Julianna but Jenna isn't looking.
