Remember when?

Jose is taking on the job of Tess' soccer coach this spring. He hasn't coached any of the kid's teams due to work schedules, etc. For those of you who know our Tess, she's not exactly the type to pay any heed to her dad!

I just want to say to him.....

....good luck & always remember the sweet times with her when you just want to scream ;o)

Are you watching?!

So, if you read my blog, you know I'm a huge Amazing Race fan. Are you following along in the game? I'm totally addicted! I always TIVO it and  can't watch it if anyone is talking to me or making noises...I just might miss some important info that the racers themselves are missing ;o) (I love that part...don't you?)

This past week one of the most entertaining couples was eliminated - Steve & Linda. They are self described "Hicks from the Sticks" - and are hilarious. We'll miss seeing them each week - I was hoping they'd go far...darn.

My Valentine's night...

Here's the crowd I spent Valentine's with...Marisa, Megan, Kylee, Michael, Devin and Jana. We made a Valentine's dinner for them before they went to a church dance that evening. 

Aren't they so cute!! Look at the big grin Michael has since he's the only guy ;o)

Dessert is served...heart shaped brownies, chocolate strawberries and icecream...yummy!

Terribly Yummy...

Here's a little yummy appetizer to make your favorite Valentine.  I made these for a dinner party and my cute kids even loved them! I'm not a water chestnut girl but these are seriously delicious and oh, so easy!!

Free time?!

Two kids in FIVE sports - how does that happen?

For the next few weeks, Ryan is playing basketball, baseball and gymnastics. Tess is playing basketball and soccer. 

Is there really any wonder why I haven't blogged more often?
