Now that was remarkable

Arizona just celebrated it's 100th birthday on Feb 14th. There were all kinds of events through out the city in the weekend prior. On Feb 11th we watched an hours worth of non-stop motorcycles ride from Mesa Riverview to the Capital. We have never seen so many motorcycles. Seriously, it was a steady stream for almost an hour leaving the parking lot. It was incredible!! The kids were mesmerized as was Shane as these bikes rode past. And to make it even more interesting the bikes were all unique!!!

SO worth the time to see this amazing event!!!

Dinner for the king

I love to make him a special meal to celebrate and serve him...and he enjoys it too.

Twice Baked Potatoes, T-bone steak and Asparagus!!!

Happy Birthday Shane...we love you!!!

Cake bites

Shane requested red velvet cake for his birthday and I needed to practice more cake pops for a baby shower in a few weeks so I killed two birds with one stone. They are red velvet cake with vanilla almond bark coating and blue sprinkles...

Had some difficulty with the coating melting smooth and making a nice shell as you can see which ones I started first so I am glad to practice! Good thing looks don't affect the taste.

Happy 36th!!

We sure love this guy!! Happy Birthday to the best husband and father I know!

Showing God's love is the best way...

We all know what 'Valentine's Day' is because the media/tv tell us it is about jewelry, candy and flowers. I feel bad for most men as woman can really get the fantasy built up in their minds of what they want this holiday to be like and then may find themselves very disappointed. I have an amazing hubby...but I would not say he is the most die-hard romantic, and actually until recently this holiday we never did much. This year I spoiled my family with things for their stomach. I can make them feel just as loved by making fun, holiday themed food all day...and it didn't really cost my anything extra than my normal grocery budget.

First up...heart shaped french toast, eggs, bacon and strawberries!!

The kids had special plates...

Then a few decorated cookies for after school...(the picture is in a previous post)

I also made strawberry jello jigglers that I cut into heart shapes!! (Didn't take a pic, but used the idea from their preschool class the day before)

I made this treat for Shane and I during our movie.

And finally to my total surprise...these beauties when Shane came home!!

I have to say...it was a fun, fun day for me to spoil my family. I loved on them as much as I could, treasured memories for sure!

It's all about love today

"For God so loved the world that He gave his only son so that you may have eternal life in Christ Jesus!" AMEN!!!

Happy 100th Birthday Arizona!
