Oh what fun!!!!!

Last night Shane and I decided to take Owen to Cheese's. He has wanted to go there for some time. He would see the commercials on TV and say, "We go there, I go to Cheese's please!" He was so excited when we pulled into the parking lot that he started yelling, "YES!, Oh ya Cheese's! Oh that's cool!" Owen had a great time running around trying to find all the games that looked fun. We left when he ran out of tokens. When we were walking to the car he asked if we could go there tomorrow. Shane and I just laughed. We said that we would have to do again some other time. Here are some pictures of the night.

Bowling

Owen wanted to go bowling so we decided since Shane and I were both home that we would take him and the boys. It was a lot of fun. Here are some pics of the outing.

Went to the Sparetime Family Fun Center in Roy

Owen was so excited. We had the bumpers put

up so he would be able to hit the pins down.

Owen would jump up and down after the ball

would hit the pins. It was so cute!

Dallin did really well. He put this crazy spin on the

ball and it looked like it was going to go in the gutter,

but then it curved.

Stephen did the same thing as Dallin. They spin

the ball. They are really good at it because they

would get strikes and spares.

As you can see from the final score that I bet Stephen

by 1, but Shane got me by 5. It was close the whole time

until the end. Shane and I are always competitive when

it comes to sports. Owen actually beat Dallin. He did really

good. I know that the bumpers helped, but it was just fun

watching how excited he got.

Valentine's Day

So we didn't do much today because Shane worked last night and the boys are at their moms for the weekend. But I fixed Shane one of his favorite meals. He went to Germany on his mission and loves some of the food from there. He found this great recipe for some German food. We have made it a few times, but I decided since he had to work tonight that I would make something special for him. So I got to cooking this afternoon.

One of the dishes takes about 3 hours and the other one is about an hour and a half. So you have to time it. It is called Beef Roulade and Rot Kohl. Rot Kohl is red cabbage with bacon, onions and apples. It is all cooked together for 3 hours. Trust me, it is really good. Beef Roulade is flank steak with Dijon mustard, bacon, onions and pickles. You roll all the ingredients up inside the flank steak and cook it in the oven. I boiled some red potatoes and served them with everything else. It turned out really good and Shane was happy.

Shane got ready for work and we (Owen and I) got our shoes on and met Shane for some ice cream to end the night. After that, Owen and I came home and I had to make cookies. I pulled out Kerstin's famous sugar cookie recipe and made some yummy cookies. Now just getting Owen ready for bed so I can call it a day.

Wasn't a typical Valentine's day, but it was nice to spend time with the men in my life and let them know how much I love them. I hope that everyone had a great day and that they could spend it with the ones they love.
