The big 2-6!!

Valentine's Day is also Jordan's Birthday.

I know there are a lot of mixed feelings about Valentine's Day, but I have always liked it. Growing up my mom was super awesome and would always have a scavenger hunt for us that would lead us to our gift. It was so fun! Plus, I just like to have a reason to celebrate, so I'm a fan of little holidays.

 I must admit I was a little nervous for Jordan's birthday this year. I can only imagine that when your birthday is on a holiday you could probably feel a little cheated. I didn't want him to feel that way, so I tried  to separate Valentine's time and Birthday time equally.


For breakfast we had Cake Batter Pancakes with sprinkles. I think it might become a new birthday tradition in our house.



My picture quality is terrible! My camera died on me, so these were all taken with my phone! Sad day!


After work we came home and he opened his birthday present. I had to make him wait all day long because I still had to finish part of it during my lunch break. I'm kind of a procrastinator. We had a nice little dinner, and then dug right into his birthday treat!


 He wanted me to make him a turtle cheesecake for his birthday. It may look a little sketchy in this picture, but it tasted great! But let's be honest, how can you go wrong with chocolate, cream cheese, and caramel?


It was a pretty great day. Jordan did a fabulous job and made me feel special even though it was HIS birthday. I think I may have to start getting him a gift on my birthday. That's only fair, right?

I love this crazy kid. It was fun to spend a day celebrating him! Happy 26th Birthday Jordan!!

Salsa and the Super Bowl

This weekend was fun.

Jordan was a real man and took me to watch Breaking Dawn at the cheap theatre. Verdict- I was glad we only spent $6 total to go see it, but it was a fun time spent laughing with my husband.

We got to babysit Teagan for a little while. He is awesome. We just really love that kid.

I made some homemade salsa. I used my mom's recipe and some delicious Arizona grown green chili. It was yummy. Maybe not quite as good as my mom's, but I'm working on it.

We went to our friends house to watch the Super Bowl. It was the 3rd Super Bowl I have ever watched in my life. Is that unamerican of me? It just wasn't a big deal in our house.....I'm not even sure I should count this one as a time that I watched, because I mostly just chatted with Tiffany and Ashley and crafted.

All in all I would say our weekend rocked!
