Valentine Painting

Hope everyone is having a good Valentines Day.  We're waiting for Daddy to get home to celebrate, but here's some pictures from yesterday while the kids were making valentines.  We were a little late on getting them made so grandparents, be looking for your valentine in the mail--just a little late!

Sarah's Baby Shower

My friend Jenn and I threw our fellow friend, Sarah a baby shower this weekend.  Her Nursery is themed with Peter Rabbit, so we followed that through with a garden themed foods and a little Peter here and there.  

here's the invitation

this pic is rough--i'm currently without a camera--and only have my phone.  all of the others have been borrowed from friends. 

`We actually made some super cute banners out of a classic peter rabbit book that turned out great.  I didn't get a picture of them but here's pretty much what it looked like, and where we got the idea ;) 

 

cupcakes from our favorite shop!  Lemon, Red Velvet and Banana Caramel...mmm

Pro Bowl 2012

Aloha, Mike here.  This will probably be my only post for the next 3 years.  Jess is making me do it. Ha. 

This past Sunday, my friend Chris and I were able to go to the Pro Bowl.  Jessi and I have been stationed here for the past 6 years but have never had the opportunity to go to the game.  It seems like every Jan I am either deployed, training somewhere off island, or the NFL up and decides to move the game to Miami, but this year I got lucky and was able to catch the game prior to our move to Fort Bragg.

 Before making the trip over to Aloha stadium, Chris and I stopped off at a tailgate Kyle and Suraya put together and started our "Pro-Bowl Day" off right with some great friends and tasty BBQ...a great combination!

After the tailgate we made our way to the "NFL Experience" on the north end of Aloha Stadium...here we are getting autographs...totally worth the 45 minutes in line...

Running the "Bud Light Challenge"...lets just put it this way...records were broken...

We had great seats to a great production from the NFL.  Both the game and the halftime show were great with a demonstration by the US Army Drill Team, F-22 flyovers by the Hawaii National Guard....and did I mention a game played by the best the NFL has to offer....Thanks Jessi for letting this husband off from duty for a day.

just another cupcake blog
