Valentine's Day Ideas....

Are you ready.. because we only have a few more days.. until Valentine's Day:)


Matt and I had planned on going out for our Valentine's Day date last night to miss the crowds.. yes we are getting old:) but, because of the snow, we will be going out on Valentines Day.. guess it was meant to be.. It is one of my favorite holidays.. I just LOVE it, and I love getting little goodies for my favorite man and now little angel!

I know for sure I am going to make this for Mr. Sharp...

HERSEY BAR PIE.. um, YUM!

• One large Hershey Candy Bar (milk chocolate) 8 oz (now I get 2 large chocolate bars)

• 18 large marshmallows cut up

• 1/2 cup sweet milk (I just use regular milk)

• 18 oz. Cool Whip

• Melt Candy bar and marshmallows in milk over low fire until smooth. Cool.

• Add 1-9 oz Cool Whip into chocolate mixture

• Pour into baked pie shell and keep cool until ready to serve.

Don’t forget to spoon a large helping of Cool Whip on your slice of pie! (I like to add chocolate sprinkles too)

Maybe I will do this too.. just to make him smile..

Presley however.. is getting this.. I know.. Summer is still a few months away.. But I couldn't resist the cuteness and the price.. Just hope I can find them in the store, I'm not the biggest fan of online shopping.. I like to see it in person..

and of course she needs a Fancy Nancy book... Isn't she super cute!? Hope everyone has a Happy Valentine's!!!.. Here are mine:

Stealing kisses

I am a huge Ben Harper fan.. He is one of my absolute favs! I have chosen him to sing for you when you visit my blog... I am always singing this song to Presley.. I guess you could say its our song. She's somewhat resistant to my kisses at her age, I am looking forward to the day when I don't have to "steal" them anymore:)
~ One day I would love to see Mr. Harper in concert.. for now I will settle for the CD- LOL!

Presley's 1st Milkshake

Yesterday.. Matt and I went a grabbed some sushi for lunch, while Grandmommy and Granddad watched Presley..It was so good!! I think I could eat Sushi every other day!..Anyways, there was a Baskin Robbins next door.. so we HAD to stopped in and grab Chocolate Milkshakes to go--- They are AMAZING, one of my favorites! If you haven't had one.. ya got to!! SO, of course we couldn't eat in front of Presley without sharing.. that would be mean. SHE LOVED it!!!!! It was so cute to see her love for Chocolate just like her MAMA! :) The pics prove she enjoyed it.. and will be having many more in the future..
~While at BR, I saw a man with his little girl eating ice cream, it was just so sweet.. Can't wait until we get to have mommy/daughter, or daddy/daughter dates!!

My little Valentine

My friend Shannon asked me if Presley would model for her upcoming Valentine's Day Mini Sessions.. and of course we jumped at the chance! Go to her blog for more info.. she is booking up fast! I thought they turned out so ADORABLE! :) Gotta love her little attitude as well! She is a little Rockstar.. that is for sure! :)

MOMs Bible Study

I am so excited to start a new bible study... MOMs at Bellevue just started back today.. and it was AWESOME! We are doing a study called Run Well, Finish Strong. It is about living out a Christian life so that our Children see Christ in us.
Jean Stockdale is the teacher.. she is wonderful! She said something today that I thought was pretty cool.. We as Christian moms need to bring our kids up in the truth.. so we can release them well into the world. If we don't teach them the truth, who will??
It is so great to be able to learn God's Word, meet new Moms, and let Presley enjoy her little preschool friends all at the same time!
I set a few New Year's Resolutions this year.. and I am planning on sticking to them this time-- One was start a new bible study, check
~ another was to Run a 5k.. which is something I have always wanted to do.. Isn't God's sense of humor great.. I had no idea this was going to be the Bible study.. Guess I need to put on my running shoes and get on the treadmill like it or not! My goal is to do one in April.. so I am starting off slow.. but I am doing one. NO quitting this time!!!!!!!
You can go here to watch the videos of the lessons.. I think the new one should be up soon

First Snow 2010

Memphis had a snow day!! Well, I guess you can call it that! WE DIDN'T GET MUCH SNOW.. maybe an inch or so.. but it was still pretty... and we got a few pictures with Daddy since he was home:) WE just had a lazy day for the most part.. and that was fun too! Matt is bad about not wearing a coat or wear flipflops year round.. these picture just cracks me up.. my husband is part polar bear, I do believe.. and I know-- I must get my little girl some cute boots-- but I thought she ROCKED out the Leopard ones! :)

Presley's Winter Wonderland Birthday

MY baby is ONE!!!!!! Her birthday was on December 31st-- New Year's Eve.. most people are thinking of how to bring in the new year, while I on the other hand, was planning a very important party.. Presley's 1st birthday! I did a winter wonderland theme ( since she was turning ONE ) and it was so much fun! WE had lots of family and friends over to celebrate the big day! The party went great and I had lots of help from family! It was a very special day.. for sure!
She is going this week for her one year check up.. so I should have her latest stats then to share... She got lots of great gifts.. and of course Courtney was there to take pictures.. and she did AWESOME capturing the moment~ I am so blessed to have this sweet little girl, she is my sunshine~ and Matt and I are forever grateful...
Here are a few pictures of the day:)
