Valentines

So, this Valentine's Joey and I agreed we'd get each other low budget presents in order to save money.  This was fun because it allows me to use my more creative side that I often don't take the time to use; although, when it comes to incorporating candy into the mix I can often times make anything work.  Ask my YW, we always seem to find a way to incorporate candy into the lessons.....   I decided we'd make a poster of all the "reisens" why we love daddy(with the candy reisens), and I'd let Avery color all over it instead of herself!  We had a lot of fun making it!
Come on Mom I've been so good, just one piece!.....
Avery, don't touch those! They are for daddy.  She then looks at me just to see how far she can go..... 
Our completed poster for Daddy!
Avery and her candy gram from Grandma!


UGA played FL on Valentine's Day and some friends of ours, the Chihuahua's, called and asked if we wanted to go with them.  Just a lil insite for those non UGA basketball followers:  UGA is last in the SEC and had not won a single SEC game previous to this day!  We decided to go anyway and also decided to take the kids.  We couldn't have picked a better game.  We got free shirts and we won only by a basket!  It was an intense game!   This is Avery on her way to her first UGA basketball game!
Avery and Hairy Dog!  (Ugga only goes to the football games)
Family pic at the b-ball game all in red!
I was surprised how into the game Avery was!  I think its cause she got her own pom-pom! Little Addisyn to the left of me had fallen asleep during all the commotion!


My little cheerleader!  I felt really bad for the guy in front of us; I think Avery hit him with her pom pom at least a couple times.  He was so nice and would just smile, chuckle, and say it was fine!
Avery and daddy cheering on the Bulldogs!
Come on ref..... what?!?!


YAY!!!!  THE GEORGIA BULLDOGS GET THEIR FIRST SEC WIN THIS SEASON!!!
The final score!    After the game we took Avery over to some friends of ours who we do babysitting swaps with. We spent the rest of the evening  at dinner and then went bowling.  I forgot to take the camera but we had a great evening just the two of us!  & Yes, I BEAT JOEY in bowling (I must take after my mom) 135-123.  He decided we would play one more game after losing to me!  I let him win the next game.......   It was a fun filled Valentines Day!

THIS IS JOEY...I HAD TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO HACK INTO THIS BLOG THING AND MAKE A QUICK CORRECTION....I LET RACHEL WIN THE FIRST GAME OF BOWLING, SHE FAILED TO MENTION THAT I BEAT HER 154 TO 99 THE SECOND GAME!!!
