Valentine's Day....

Started off the day with the traditional heart-shaped waffles...



Baked and decorated sugar cookies... topped with pink frosting... a MUST!!



Ally made the cards and we delivered them to those so dear....


Too tired to go out for dinner and a movie...
so spinach dip and pizza from Smoky Mountain....


Ally and her candygram (and no that's not a spot on my wall... sheesh, stupid phone) which read...

Ally Bear...
        YOU are Extra Extra Extra amazing!!!                
We Snicker like Airheads whenever you're around...
It'll be hard for us when you Skittle on outta here =(
I don't know what I'll do w/o my Sugar Babie...I'll definitely be in one
of those Whatchamacallit states where I'm barely able to connect the Dots.
You have been such a Lifesaver - such a Starburst - in our home.
Not even 100 Grand could ever replace you...
Having you for a daughter is a Skor for eternity! <3
If you're ever in a Crunch, please know we'd do ANYTHING for you...
<3 U Sweetart



And Sarah.... the cutie... made TJ these pillows.
She photocopied love notes they'd written to each other
onto fabric and sewed them onto these pillows... <3 Sari


My sweet girl also made 'Basil Chicken Curry' for 
her in-laws to enjoy for their Valentine's Day dinner...

Lake McDonald, Montana

Have I ever talked about my thing for rocks?  Have had it since I was a little girl.... loved to collect rocks and go to rock shops.  I even have a few sitting next to my bed (nothing bigger than what fits in the palm of your hand) right now that've caught my fancy the last year or so... or that someone's given me.  Like the small white one Ally gave to me from our trip to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, at the Quileute Indian Reservation beach (okay, yeah... so it was really to see 'Twilight' country, but we saw some pretty amazing scenery as well)... and then a black rock Rob found on our trip to the Oregon Coast last year. Anyway... there's this lake in Montana ... Lake McDonald ... obviously from the subject heading... and it's got shores of brightly-colored rocks.  So guess what got added to the bucket list as soon as I saw the photos?  Yep... I will go there... for the rocks.... just to see the pretty colors.
