As usual The Kendell's  dominated. Okay Russ did the worst he has ever done and he watched every film but one. Next year he is going back to only seeing less than half, he does much better that way. Still Christianae and Ashlan won for the family. Our biggest loser was Matt.

FUN FUN FUN!!!

15th Wedding Anniversary Trip

It was funny leaving on a full moon because we were married on a full moon. We travelled the whole day starting at 4am and ending in our beautiful hotel room at 6:30pm.

We walked in to beautiful rose peddles scattered all over the room and our bed. It was so romantically beautiful.

We had the most amazing gift of time for the next 7 days. This place was just gorgeous!!! It was the first time in 15years that we had been to a beach getaway by ourselves since our honeymoon on Boracay. I forgot how magical it was… the warm weather,soothing sounds of the ocean, and time, time to do anything or nothing!!!

As we all know, food is the main part of all of our trips. We were so surprised at how good all of the food was. We had a budget of $100 a day and some days we didn’t even spend that. Everyone said we would easily spend at least $1300 on food for the week and we spent $685… I was so proud of us!!

Tristan’s Commercial

Now they wanted Tristan in a Pillow Pet commercial. She was so good and looked absolutely adorable!

They filmed her jumping on this bed and playing with the pets-she was just so very very good and natural about it all. Can’t wait to see it on TV!

Valentine’s Day

My Love always brings the kids a giant chocolate kiss and a balloon. Jared said that when he was walking towards Paris’ class a few kids saw him and said  “That’s for Paris right!” When he entered the classroom one kids said “He does this every year.” They all look forward to it!

When Jared started walking down Tristan’s hallway he noticed a bunch of kids at the end of it getting ready to line up. He couldn’t  see her but heard her yell “DADDY!” She said that she knew it was him the minute she saw the balloon.

We missed Tristan’s party. One day I hope to be much more organized and have time to travel all the way to her school for a party.

My wonderful love bought me my very favorite chocolate covered strawberries.

While my love was out being the cutest cupid ever his cookie bouquet was delivered to his office. Dusty told him that if he hadn’t of come when he did he was going to steal one instead of asking him for it. Dusty took a bite of one before my love got a chance to take a picture.
