Dinner at Stone Fire Grill... yum!

I've been having lots of fun....

with my hubby. First, we went to Supercross with the Curfews. Brandon and I go to Supercross every year. That was one thing we had in common when we first met... going to see dirt bike racing. I have to admit it was mainly about the hot guys when I first starting watching it, but I grew to love it since I spent most of my childhood on dirt bikes and quads. I know... I'm a girl and I'm not supposed to be into that stuff but I LOVE anything offroad. Especially, if I'm racing in it! Here are the only pics we (well, Emily) took at the Supercross.

Me & My Cutie


Then, a few weeks, later we went to Laughlin to watch more racing but this time with Trophy Trucks, Buggies, etc. The Curfews came with us again... Jeremy was in heaven. I loved his reaction to being in the pits. It was so much fun! Brandon was especially nice to me that weekend... He went store to store, casino to casino, just to find me some trash magazines to read in our down time. AND he got me Starbucks hot chocolate whenever I ask too... what and no strings attached?!? Such a sweetie! Here are some pics ...

This is one of the trucks Brandon has worked on for our friend Ross.

This is that truck again Brandon worked on flying off a jump.
These raccoons were eating from peoples hands at the hotel near the water.
I love spending time with my hubby. For Valentine's Day, my brother-in-law and sis-in-law said they would take the kids all night so we could have a night for just the two of us.... well, of course, one of my kidos gets sick and ends up spending the night with us. Brandon was the best dad ever! It was Nate that had a fever so we dropped Taylor and Jack off then headed to the mall. First stop was Target to get an ear themometer so we could get a more acurate temp since mine said 103.1 and freaked me out! I had given Nate some Motrin so by the time I took his temp again, it was 101.5 (a little better). Then we decided to hit the food court for our Valentine's meal (yummy...not) then head to Victoria Secret for my gift, well mainly his. We almost missed out because apprently the mall closes at 7... WHAT?!? But we made it and got a little something for later. We got home, watched a movie and put Nate to bed. It was still kinda early so we decided to watch another movie. By 10, we were both falling asleep so I decided to check on Nate and take his temp... it was back up to 103.5 and his little heart was racing. So I woke up Brandon and we decided he needed a blessing. Our sweet friend Steve came over to help with the blessing and we put him back to bed and.... we went to bed. Happy Valentine's Day! Here is a picture of what we bought.... still in the bag waiting!
