Here's what I ended up making for Kelly on Valentine's day. He loved it.
Some people think Valentine's Day is silly and that we should not single out one day to show our love to others, but I don't see a single problem with it. I'll in fact, keep it going this week! Here's the combined bouquet of the colorful cheery daisies that Jenn and Shane brought to us paired together with the miniature pink roses that Kelly brought to Lindsey last week for Valentine's Day. What a sweet daddy he is to always remember both of his girls on these occasions. This bright and happy bouquet is in the vase that Linda brought me last month.
On Monday, we had a delightful visit from my old teenage crush, Buddy. He's from Oklahoma and lives in Utah with his wife and three kids now and was in town looking at investment property and met us for dinner. Here's Christopher giving him a Texas-sized welcome upon arrival.
Buddy and I have known each other since I was about 14 and have stayed in touch off and on throughout the years. We went to Chuy's for dinner because he was craving Tex-Mex cuisine. I wish I could post the picture of Kelly with us, but the waitress must have moved when she snapped that shot because it's all blurry. We all had a nice evening and then Buddy headed to Houston to check on another property that he owns.

If you're trying to get a kid to smile, don't tell them to say peaches. It's scarred me for life. Mom, what the heck happened to my hair? Did I fix it myself? After all, I was in second grade and very capable. My grandma crocheted that groovy vest for me, but who is responsible for the hack job on my hair? Hello, 1970! Who knows where my third grade picture is. We moved so often, changing schools, that I might have missed picture day. Next is my fourth grade mug shot. I must have sworn off bangs by then. Thank goodness for those plastic barrettes to deal with the in-between length. Notice how every year I wore green? Yeah, it's been my favorite color for as long as I can remember. I don't have an actual school pic of me in f...

The breakfast that you made for dad on valentines day looks really good right now. I'm jealous. =]
Hey, I was wondering if you could post the pictures from our Winter Break trip in Colorado when I was skiing down the mountain. I would like to have a picture of me skiing for a Net/Web Design project. Thanks, I love you!
