Valentine's 2011

Oh Valentines Day... 
I am very glad I got to spend at least part of the day with the love of my life. He had his Valentine's party at school during the day while I sat at work....boring! But we had big plans for the night... except when I left my office one of the guys at work pointed out that I had a flat tire.


 As soon as I heard him I remember thinking in my head "I can't possibly have a flat tire.. I have plans tonight!!"... and I was very serious! Until reality hit, and I saw the damn tire for myself. The guys at work changed the tire pretty quickly and I was glad to be on my way out of there, until one of them said, "Go straight to the tire shop and get that thing fixed. You can't drive around long on that spare. Oh and don't drive over 55 MPH".... ok, first of all, I HAVE PLANS!! and they do not consist of going to the tire shop (why was nobody understanding this??) and second, driving below 70 MPH on the freeway is basically impossible for me.. and he wanted me to stay under 55?? not likely.. 


Needless to say, I skipped the tire shop, stayed as close to 60 MPH as I could, picked up the munchkin and headed out to our Valentine's date. Drew and I spent our Valentine's night at Pump It Up, a place that has a bunch of HUGE inflatables for everyone to jump around on. 

And lucky us, we got a private dinner for two... of pizza and juice. We are so romantic like that!

We got home a lot later than normal, so we did quick showers and headed straight to bed. 


**Side note: I am WAY to old to jumping around at this place. I was so exhausted and couldn't hang with my crazy 7 year old. How in the world that kid has so much energy is beyond me. That was enough exercise to last the entire year.... next time we're taking a friend for him to play with so mom can sit out!

Lovely Weekend...

Such a good weekend with the love of my life... 


They say "Every day should be Valentine's day if you really love someone"... 
and I agree.. and am lucky enough to spend (practically) every day with the love of my life...


Saturday we got up bright and early to do something this little munchkin has been begging to do for over a year (ok, anyone that says I give this kid everything he wants is crazy..., it took a year of begging for me to break down and do this one)....


We went fishing.... 

We went to a local park that has a lake that's stocked with fish every week so I figured our chances would be pretty good... 

Now fishing or anything outdoorsy besides the beach just isn't my thing AT ALL... 

But Drew being the professional fisherman that he is (he's fished once with his dad about 6 months ago)...

decided he would take charge and handle it all. 

This kid is NOT the most patient child in the world... waiting just isn't fun when you're 6 (or 27 if you ask me)..  so he would throw his line out there, wait about 10 seconds, and reel it back in and do it again... over and over and over again.. for 3 hours straight.

Needless to say, we didn't catch anything... but we had a good time... 

Unfortunately for me Drew want's go back there again... probably more than once..

Sunday was Valentine's Day and I got to spend the morning with my 2 loves....

 

Drew and the Beach

It was such a beautiful day in Balboa... 

I absolutely LOVE the beach.. and after all the yucky rain and wind we've been having, it was the perfect place to be!

Now the weather was beautiful.. sunny and warm... 

the water, however; wasn't so nice.. it was freezing. 

But not to Drew.. that kid kept running in and out of there.. 

chasing waves and pretending he was a water bender (way too much of that Avatar cartoon in our house)... 

We went to the marina for lunch... and took a trip through the museum.... 

Our Valentine's dinner plans did not go as planned at all... but I promised Drew I'd make it up to him real soon (FYI: John's Incredible Pizza is the busiest place on Earth on Valentine's day).

Hope you all had a LOVELY weekend.... 

XOXO
