Seriously, you have to check this out

Ok, new guilty addiction going onto my "watched Blogs" bar. The Pioneer Woman ROCKS. She cooks, she remodels, she homeschools her 4 "punks" (which deep in my heart is what I wish I could do with lil man so he never had to face the hurt of kids who don't know what it means to be a good person), she gushes over her cowboy hubby. Sigh. I could seriously live her life. Of course, I'm deathly allergic to horses, so it's not an option, not to mention Shawn's serious case of the "Citys". He could TOTALLY be a small town man, but I can't get him to realize this. I miss my small town, miss knowing the people I see in the store, miss feeling safe leaving my doors unlocked. Oh well. The things you do for love.


Speaking of love, Shawn is so funny. For Valentine's Day, I had some fun with Photoshop. I made Shawn some framed picts of Oliver and of our wedding day to show him our love.


























He came in after work, no presents in hand. Oh well, I thought. No biggie. We're trying to watch our pennies for our down payment on a new house, so no big deal. I was completely happy with the "Happy V-day!" emails and texts, I just like to know I'm being thought about...About an hour after he came home, he went out to his truck and brought in CHOCOLATE, ROSES, SPA GIFT CERTIFICATE, and CRAZY SWEET CARD! He was disappointed that I didn't get mad that there was no V-day gift. Silly boy! I've become so much less about "things" since Olllie came that I was just happy that we had the energy to hug and kiss after work.


Speaking of kisses and Oliver... (no, there's not another baby on the way, Momma has a few goals in mind for the next year before we think about that, more to come later...). Oliver is totally hilarious when we are smooching. If one of us is holding him up when we kiss, Ollie will actually take his hands and push our heads together. Too cute! He's gotten so good at showing his love lately. He gives hugs out freely, smooches Momma when she's putting him in the car seat, and says "luv you!" at bedtime. Sigh.





Love my boys!
