Valentine's Dinner-ultrasound and Brielle's Dance

Laur brought Travis's ultrasound machine and this is trey pointing to the machine saying my "brodo" We think it's a boy. We will see next friday if our guess was right.
Monday Brielle had a dance recital. I decided to put her back into a dance class and see how she likes it and I am really quite surprised at how much she enjoyes it because she is pretty shy and isn't very confident infront of others performing. She was soo giddy before the recital and had no problem getting on the stage and performing. I have a hard time spending the money on dance when they are this young but she felt soo good about herself after she was done. I think the costumes are fun too. I am not sure what the girl next to Brielle was thinking.








Unlike my cousin Heidi, I think Valentines Day is a silly holiday. It is my favorite holiday candy and it is cute to see my kids get excited to exchange valentines. I so don't like going out to eat with everyone else doing the same thing waiting hours for food that isn't even worth waiting for and is a waste of money. I don't care for flowers anytime-I think they are a waste of money because they only last a few days-I know there are a lot of you out there that love them and that's ok I would rather the money spent on something else. Don't get me wrong I think it is nice to celebrate love but I just don't like the traditional gifts and activities. I guess it's kind of like christmas for me-Remember what you are celebrating-the ones you love and that means that really the only important thing is that you are together and you enjoy it. Anyway this is my attempt to actually enjoy the holiday-I had the idea of getting some friends together and making our husbands dinner and if turned into 60 people now being held at the church and we are having it catered. I am excited. it should be a lot of fun. We are taking pictures of each couple as they come in. We made a gift bag for each couple with bath and body lotion, and bubble bath, 0 bigelo lip gloss, a cd of love songs, a few candles, and some candy. We are going to play the celestial companions game and learn the walz. I have 8 babysitters coming to my house for about 30 kids. I will let you know if the attempt worked :)
The invite said dinner was 25 but it will be 30 including the tip-we would have spent more going out to eat so we hope it's good :)

How fun--I just found your blog through Jessica Call's! I am so glad I did, because I just want everyone who reads this to know that MICHELLE IS AMAZING. It takes a highly highly special person to pull of such a fabulous Valentine's party, let alone for sixty (+) people during pregnancy. She should, like, be sponsored by Fit Pregnancy magazine! AND Better Homes and Gardens!

Thanks Michelle!
