Headed to the city by the Bay

When we arrived at The Welter's TJ had settled in for a little nap. Tristan took a little bit to warm up but once he woke up he was ready to go. Colin was so sweet, he invited Tristan to spend the night in his room, read him a book, and tucked him in. I was beside my self. It was so cute.

 

The next morning was all about Thomas... surprise, surprise.

 

After breakfast and a work out, Tex wanted to drive into Santa Cruz. It was a beautiful day by the beach. Tristan loves the beach! We found Cowell's Surf Shop which I though was cute : ) I had to buy a shirt.

We stopped in Davenport for dinner after Steve's suggestion. We ate at the Roadhouse. I had the most Divine salmon and clam chowder. Great Suggestion.

Dinner with my boys.

 My love asked me what I wanted to do for Valentine's Day. I told him I wanted to go to The Melting Pot. One of my favorites but Way too many calories so we never go. He made reservation 2 weeks in advance... totally not like my husband. I love that he made the reservations for three because TJ was going to love it and that he did!

 

Our super great waiter.

Did someone say cheeeeeeesssseeee?

Flaming Chocolate!

Don't mind if I do.

Somebody is happy : )

Me too.

Tex's creativity :)

The building used to be a fire house, Tristan had to try out the pole.

Wonderful night, great conversation, great company!

Things are getting back to normal for my wonderful family and we really needed that!

Happy Valentine's Day

    Today began as a very busy day. Tristan and I went to deliver all of our Valentine's to those who were close. We got so busy that the only one I got a picture of was Grandma. Tristan picket out a fake rose that actually smelled like a rose. Grandma loved it.

 

My Valentine was perfect. Lillie's, a beautiful candle holder, A Halloween Village figure, and a bottle of wine. 

Tristan hit the jackpot at school, he came home with a bag full of goodies.

We also received a super cute e-mail card from Juannie. Loved them!

What a wonderful day!

Sorry to all of the extended family that we did not get messages to. we love you all.

Super Bowl 47 San Fransisco 31 vs Baltimore 34

 Well, today is a pretty big day. As many of you know I am a die hard 49er fan. We had planned to have a family dinner today even before the 49ers were in the game but this worked out even better. We started out with an afternoon ham dinner before the game. We figured by half time we would be ready for snacks.

Mom, Lisa, Patti, Tex, Garrett, Hanna, TJ, and I enjoyed a family dinner together. Of course there was smack talk going on all day. Dinner was fabulous!

 

Doug, Lisa, and their daughter joined us for the game but I was so into the game I forgot to take pictures : )

As well all now know the first half of the game was not that great. By half time we had the snacks ready to go. Hopefully Kapernick would turn things around.

The second half of the game was much better. Almost thought that San Fran was going to come back but to no avail. Not like they did not have the opportunity.

Tasha was not to impressed with the game either, Tex was super nice... he did not even through it in my face.

NEXT YEAR DAMN IT!
