My ears are SUPER sensitive...and all I can wear is gold.  I still am wearing the original earrings that I got my ears pierced with because I've never gone a purchased a new gold pair of earrings.  Forever ago I found these little .12 carat diamond earrings at the Shane Co. for like $95.  We got them yesterday!  The thing I love about the Shane Co. is that whenever I want to upgrade them they give me full value and I only have to spend $1 more....so I think once a year I'll go and upgrade them...eventually I'll have more then diamond dust in my ears!

For Valentine's Day I made a fancy dinner at home.  I made t-bone steaks and honey walnut shrimp.  Our FAVORITE chinese place makes these amazing Honey Walnut Prawns...so I was hoping to hit the nail on the head with the recipe.  It was good...just not as good as the chinese restaurant.  But definatly worth the try!

Nathan LOVED the steaks!  He grabbed the bones and ate any little nibble of meat he could find!

I surprised Hallie and took her to get her very first pedicure.  She LOVED it and the grin never left her face!  Now she wants to know when we can go back!

Here it begins!  My goal of taking a picture of the kids together once a month.  This is more of a challenge then one might think...they are 4 1/2 and 2 1/2.  Here was my first result:

Hey, they're in the same picture...that counts, right????

After some coaxing (offering them a sucker if they let mom get a picture), I got this one:

So this might be a little premature...but it's all good!

I bought tickets last night to go to the 5th Avenue Theater and see South Pacific.  I'm excited.  I've never seen South Pacific...but got an email for a killer deal on tickets...so I went for it.  I've always LOVED musicals...so I'm sure I'll love this one too.  I'm seeing it on Friday, February 19th at 1:30pm.

Vote!

Yup...I did it.  I always vote in the major elections, but often time let the littler elections pass me by...but not this time!
I got my ballot in the mail for the Orting School Levy....opened it up...voted and popped it back in the mail!
