Praises of a Wife and Mommy

I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU... We had a great time at our Valentines banquet on Friday evening.  :)  The night was filled with laughter and good fellowship with great friends at our church.  :) The games were great and kept me laughing... I love a good night of laughs.   The weekend might have been filled from start to finish but our Friday night meal was a time to relax and enjoy each other and I think we did!  :)  xoxoxoxoxoxox to my man!  I LOVE YOU! 

DATE NIGHT FUN We had a fantastic time heading to our local baseball game this evening.  The humidity left and a breeze came and it was a perfect weather night.  We were kid free and sadly I saw a little boy with a ball cap on and I immediately missed my lil guy.  (We are only gone for a short time but I love my kiddos.)  It does not matter where we are or how long we are away if I see little kids I all of a sudden miss mine.  Ok, lets get past the kids since this is about me and my man.   I have to finish this post before the hubby returns from bringing the babysitter home.  :)  One thing I always enjoy doing at least once in the summer is watch a local baseball game.  We have a fun park and they do a great job of entertaining during each inning.   Today was a bobble head evening so we got a Romney and Obama bobble head.  Now just imagine the fun that the hubby and I are going to have with them.  We have some video ideas...

I had a fantastic day with my man celebrating our 6 years of married life.  Time has really gone fast!   We had two dates so it was an extra special day for us.  :)  First we went out to a new buffet in town.  I was not impressed with it so I doubt we will go back.  :(   We thought we were going to go for a hike but then we found a mini golf place that we thought had closed down but it was open!!  :)  It was really nice too!  :) We played 18 holes and I went first... I GOT A HOLE IN ONE!!!  What a way to start the game! :) Not only a hole in one on hole one but I got another one on hole 5!!!  :)  WHOO HOO... it was a great game even though the hubby still beat me...only because on one hole I got frustrated and ended it with 9 strokes.  OOPS!  What are some Anniversary dates you have had??  :)  

I had a fantastic date on Friday night with my amazing man!  :)  We had a Valentines Banquet at our church with yummy food catered in.  They had some really fun games and I truly enjoyed the evening out without the children.  :) I had so many awesome laughs that evening, including a big one due to the fact that our little teddy bear that they were giving out as a fun surprise exercise to keep doing.  Well our bear had 3 EARS... LOL!!  I guess it is a good reminder for Anthony and myself to always listen first before talking!  LOVE!!!  :) I also wanted to give a quick update on my weight loss goals. I have lost 10 pounds and it  feels amazing!  :) I am really proud of the hard work and I love seeing the results.  I still have some firming up to do in the belly but all my pants are huge in the butt and back of the legs.  :)  I also wanted to see more toned arms but little by little I will continue to see results. ...

So I am thinking that it is time to take hubby on a date and go watch this!  :)  I just watched the trailer and I got chills!  :)  So who has gone to see it? 

DATE WITH MY HUBBY! We got a babysitter tonight in hopes that our baby boy will be here soon and we know we will not be able to go out for a little while. To start off I ordered the fried mozerella which is my favorite appetizer! Then I had my favorite soup, the Zuppa Toscana: Dont forget the bread sticks: My main course, most of it in my refridgerator to eat later tonight because I was stuffed:  the tour of Italy. I had been wanting Olive Garden for awhile now and we just got lucky to have one open up near us in December!  YAY!  It just took us till now to finally go!  It was yummy food and an enjoyable time with my husband.  I LOVE YOU BABE!!!  :)

I am so excited for my daughter and husband tonight.  They are currently out enjoying a father/daughter dance.  My daughter is wearing a new dress, asked for her nails to be painted, and has been talking non stop about her date with her daddy all week.  I bet they are dancing to the YMCA and many other fun songs.  :)   I think it is so important for Fathers to do activities like this with their kids especially daughters.  I know we want to teach her how a man should treat her and even though she is only 3 years old I think she will still learn something at her age.  I know she is a princess in her fathers eyes, not just her daddy here but her heavenly father too.  Isn't it so awesome how much GOD loves us!!!    So here are a couple pictures: Nails had to be painted:   All ready and now waiting for daddy.  Ready to go! She was too excited to sit still for a good picture.   HOW CUTE!!  So what ...

We had family friends take our daughter over night last night so we could just enjoy each other!  :)  We will soon have our baby boy here so we really wanted to make sure to get out without Selah before baby comes. Thanks so much to our friends for taking her!  It is such a relief to know she was a good girl. :) So what did we do you might wonder?? Well first we enjoyed the Packer/ Bear game!  How happy I was to see the Packers win!! :)  YIPEE!! After the game was finished we headed out to a supper club just outside of town.  We had never been there before buy my hubby and I both ordered prime rib... it was yummy and will be warmed up for dinner tonight too as the servings were huge! :) The restaurant was nice, it still had many Christmas decorations.  That leads me to my complaint... they were still playing Christmas music.  When is it to late to play Christmas music??  Maybe it is me but we start playing Christmas music ri...

How often do you have a date night with your husband?  Do you have a reliable babysitter?  How much do you pay your sitter (and how many kids). My hubby and I do not go out on dates very often.  Often when we do we take our 3 year old with us so we don't have to pay for a babysitter.  We will often do a date night right at home after we put Selah to bed and then we will cuddle up with popcorn and a movie.  :)  I enjoy our at home dates and I do enjoy our dates as a family, but I think it is time to set aside a few days a year when we leave the kids with someone.  The best way to take advantage of this is trading babysitting services with friends who have children too and like us need to get out of the house without them.  :) I mean who wants to pay for a dinner and a movie and then pay a sitter... 9 bucks for a movie ticket times 2, 35 for dinner, and then 20-25 for a sitter.  WOW... there goes a big chunk of the budget!   Last summe...
