Valentine's Day 2009!

We continued our tradition of bowling on Valentine's Day...which we had to skip last year since Terry was in Phoenix.  Half the fun of bowling at Incred-i-bowl is eating at their snackbar - best krinkle fries in town!  I just want everyone to know that for the first time in my life...I beat Terry at bowling!  I even took a picture of the score to prove it.  I can't take all the credit, though.  At first I wasn't doing too well, so Caleb offered to bowl one of my frames for me.  The competitive side of me thought....no, I'd better not let this 7 year old who still bowls with bumper guards help me.  But, I gave in because I'm really just a big pushover.  And do you know that he got a strike!  So, overjoyed was I, that I let him help me on a couple more.  A few weeks later, Caleb and I were still on a roll when we went bowling again for his school's Family Fun Night fundraiser.  We both won again!  I beat the adults in my group with a 158!  Caleb beat the kids in his group with a 104!  I think I'll quit while I'm ahead.  

Happy Valentine's Day!

Terry, my Valentine, went to Phoenix the week of Valentine's where it was warm and sunny and left the boys and I here in frigid Kansas with all the snow and ice. But we forgave him quickly when a bouquet of Valentine cookies were delivered to our doorstep on February 14th from "Cookies by Design." Now that's something I can really sink my teeth into. And that I did! I think I've gained a few pounds, but it was so worth it. Oh by the way..... check out Josh's new braces. Next month he's going to get different color bands.
