Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a great Valentine's weekend complete with class parties and tons of treats! We were even "heart-attacked" with treats and hearts at our door which was fun! (I think I know who you are Parkers:) Steve was so sweet to "bring it" with roses! They were beautiful and every girl appreciates flowers! After sweet cards to each other and a dancing "I'm too sexy for my shirt" plush dog, along with chocolates and a t-shirt that reads: "Trophy Husband," our love is re-affirmed for one more year!
We have done the "out-to eat" thing before on V-day and it is not even fun fighting the crowds...so Steve was the chef again and whipped up a quick steak and lobster platter for us!

The boys did not appreciate the efforts at the "Dimond Market Street Grill," so we let them have their way on the special day!
Steve cooking away on the stove after we ran out of propane outside!
Mikelle watching over the steaks before she ran baby-sitting!
It was fun to sit down and enjoy a relaxing dinner together:)
Just two hours before being the Iron Chef, Steve had to go to two YM Basketball games as our ward had the assignment to provide referees for the 4:00 and 5:00 p.m. games. After 2 emails to the whole ward and no takers, he and the bishop went to fulfill the call of duty to keep our undefeated boys in the running. Steve was so grateful that he was able to do the scoreboard as he doesn't play BB and helpful hints on what calls to make from my vast YW BB experience would not have been enough this time:) Christian was able to stay with him for the second game as he is the sports man at our house!
Thanks Bishop!
It has been a great weekend and now we just have to face the treadmill in the morning! XOXO

WOW....what a spread!!!! Tons better than a resturant. Way to go Chef Steve and Martha/Annalee for the deco/place settings.
Is that really cold cereal in one of the bowls? Give the kids a few more years to appreciate a real feast!!!!

What a yummy meal. It must be nice having your own personal chef.
