Dinner With Westhoff's

Jim picked Julie and I up from Jans and took us into the city while avoiding the Mardi Gras traffic. 

It was great fun to sit with our friends and swap stories. 

I love these guys, thanks for going to New Orleans to have dinner with us.  Happy Valentine's Day to our dear friends.

Valentine and Mardi Gras Parade

I don't understand why any organization would have a big event that would on over Valentine's Day weekend. RUDE! Oh well at least I got to go with J this time. We had a blast. (Until the Uber driver took two hours to pick us up and needed us to walk three blocks to get to her, then dropped us off another 10 blocks from our hotel.) UGH, the street issues that are involved with Mardi Gras will discourage us from visiting again during carnival season. 

I love this guy! We have spent many a Valentine together. I am one lucky woman!

Here comes the big parade!

Notice my nails, all done up for Valentines day!

Happy Valentine's Day

Dad always tries to get flowers for all of his girls. Possible always makes sure that mom gets a flower from Declan and David, these are the two that I miscarried. I love that Possible keeps them very much a part of our lives. 

WE got some fun chocolates and cough medicine.

Don't forget the chocolate ice cream!  Yeah!

I hope that your Valentine's day is full of love and chocolate (and not hospital visits!)

Valentine Wreath

Time for the next season!  I love making these wreaths.

Valentines Day (Ash Wednesday)

Considering today is Ash Wednesday as well as Valentines Day we will have to wait until tomorrow to enjoy dad's Valentine's treats.

Sugar sent notes.  It was a fun day all around.  We will begin our journey closer to Christ while celebrating our love for each other.  This year our valentine is none other than Christ Himself.

Celebration: Valentines/ EMT

The day was to be like all the rest of our Valentine Days.  Jason and the boys go out and bring back roses and chocolate covered strawberries.  My special Valentine always makes sure that the ladies of this house are loved.  We wanted to celebrate Pooker's accomplishment and this day was the only one Pooker had open.  So we had celebrations all around.

Twin Beautiful crawled onto the table and fell asleep.

Lunch was yummy.  We all tried to let Pooker know that we are very proud of all that she has accomplished.  It was also a wonderful afternoon with our whole family.  The next picture is of those that Jason and I truly live for.  We know, love and serve God in this world and are blessed to find Him n the eyes of each of them.
