A Valentin in Portland

I was so excited for Valentines this year because I actually had planned something cool to do for Michael!  We happened to be in Oregon for Valentines again this year because Michaels parents were in Hawaii for the week so we were holding down the fort.  It was a lot of fun!
So the morning of Valentines day I got up at like 2:00 a.m. to get the room ready for Michaels surprise.
This is what I did.  I got some balloons numbered them and put notes in all of them.  I did 4-14 balloons for the 14 days leading up to Valentines the 1,2 & 3 was on the card I got him.  So on the card it listed 3 complaints about him instead of compliments.  Example: 1. You are to cute. Seriously you distract me. Sometimes I stare at your butt and I am afraid I will walk into a glass door or something(that was the one on the car). Then I wrote on the card that every hour he needed to pop a balloon, but in order starting with 4, to then get another complaint from me.  Oh and don't worry I did this prep work the day before, the set up was at 2:00 a.m, so all I did was pulled out the balloons sprinkled some Reese's heart around with them and then put the card on the pillow next to him(for that I just made sure to wake up before him).  When he woke up I was in the bathroom getting ready for the day and he came in with a confused look on his face and said, "what is this". I just laughed and told him it as his Valentines Day surprise.  Don't worry everyone he loved it and thought it was very clever.  Here are some pics of what it looked like.



We decided that instead of going out for dinner for V-day that we would go out to lunch and because Katie had a game later in the day to, so it was easier to just go to lunch.  For lunch Michael took me to The Cheesecake Factory, which is my all time favorite place to eat!  It was funny though because we noticed we were one of the youngest couples in there.  Everyone there was pretty old, but we figured out that it is because all the old people go out for lunch on v-day, so that they don't have to fight the young people at night, so it was pretty funny.  Then after lunch Michael took me to the movies, which is also one of my favorite thing to do.  We went and saw Endless Love, which I thought was pretty good, not sure if he felt the same way though haha. After the movies and once we got home he gave me a box of chocolates.  Which is what I asked for so that was nice, I don't know why but those box of chocolates are my favorite things!!

Macey's Nursery

Macey's Nursery was my absolute favorite thing to put together during this pregnancy.   Little girls are so much fun to get ready for.  Having it all done and put together has made it so much more real for us.  She will be here in only a few short weeks!

Kicking our summer off right.

Summer is officially here! My favorite season has finally arrived. There is no better way to celebrate the first weekend of summer then camping! Michael and I love camping. Their is just something about campfires, sleeping under the stars, and s'mores  that get me excited to camp. This weekend we camped in Provo canyon with some friends that are going to BYU. Once we got camp all set up and the fire going this little guy decided to pay us a visit. Not going to lie I thought it was a bear sneaking up on us at first. I was scared out of my mind, but then he stuck his head up and I felt a lot better. After making some yummy s'mores and relaxing by the fire we got in the cars and headed to squaw peak to  look at the beautiful lights from on top of the mountain. You can see all of Utah Valley from up there. Everyone knows that if you are looking to get a goodnights rest  that camping is not what you want to be doing. ...
