Wedding #2

My little catering business is doing fairly well. I get a job now and then and that is just how I like it. I now have a partner...my bff Jodi. We both love to cook and I needed some help with this wedding, so we decided to make it an official partnership. We have worked together on and off for 10 years, so she's knows what she is getting herself into. We catered a wedding luncheon for 100 people this weekend. They asked for a 4 course meal, so we had our work cut out for us. We had nothing but compliments and a few people ask for our "information" so they could call us for other events. Yahoo! It was a lot of work and poor Jodi's 6 month old was admitted to the hospital for RSV in the middle of it all, so the day could have been better. All in all, things went well though.

I didn't get a chance to take many pictures, but here is a glimpse of our layout.

The menu:

Minestrone Soup

Italian Salad and Creamy Italian Dressing

Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken

Breadsticks

When I got home I had a cute sign waiting for me. A great surprise to end a big day!

Fourteen Days of Love (Day 13 and 14)

Happy Valentine's Day!

We combined day 13 and 14 for our Valentine's Day celebration. We had a fun Valentine's day, but my favorite part was our lovely dinner. I made chicken cordon bleu, mashed red potatoes, roasted asparagus, spinach salad, homemade rolls and Shirley Temple's. It was delicious and I was so happy to have our china handy to use.

After dinner we watched a romantic movie....our wedding video. The kids loved it and Eric and I couldn't believe how young we were! I am happy to say we love each other even more than we did 6 1/2 years ago!

For our valentine's dessert we had fondue! The kids went to town with the chocolate and by the time we had finished, the kids had more chocolate on them than inside them. But it was fun! Happy Valentine's day to my wonderful man and 2 sweet babies. I love you!!!

Fourteen Days of Love (Day 11 and 12)

Mommy had to work all day yesterday, so Daddy took over for a day. (Mommy left him with supplies.) Our activity for day 11 was to play Valentine games. You played a hearts matching game and Valentine Bingo.

Daddy was surprised at how well you both did at at Bingo!

For our activity today, (day 12) we got our valentine's ready to deliver! Adam came up with his own valentine sayings to go with his candy cars.

Ready for delivery!

Fourteen Days of Love (Day 10)

Today we started getting our Valentine's ready to deliver! The kids used their treasure to make candy cars to go along with their Valentine's.

David's Mission Call

Tonight David opened his mission call. Not one person he knows guessed South America. So imagine our shock when he read that he was going to Brazil!

About 10 years ago this missionary was in Recife, Brazil.

Now, this missionary is going to Recife, Brazil.

We are so excited for David! Eric is thrilled that David is going back to his mission. I told Eric he had to get his mission scrapbook done before David leaves so he can share mission pictures with Dave.

David reports to the Sao Paulo, Brazil MTC on July 6th. He will be such a wonderful missionary and we are so proud of him for being so willing and excited to serve the Lord! It will be a long 2 years without my Davey Baby around, but he is going to be an awesome missionary and I am so, so proud of him!!

Fourteen Days of Love (Day 9)

Today we had a Valentine's Treasure Hunt!

Tomorrow's activity involves all the treasure...they can hardly wait!

Fourteen Days of Love (Day 8)

Today we wrote love notes to each other on our bathroom mirrors....only after a long lecture from me, on only being allowed to draw on mirrors with mommy present!

Midway Ice Castles

We had so much fun in Midway! The ice castles were beautiful. Spending some time with cousins made our time there even more fun!
