TiMe??

I have been considering taking this blog private for awhile now. I'm still not sure if I want to yet but just in case I decide to do it.. if you would like an invite please leave me your email so I can make sure to add you. Thanks! :)

I would like any family/friends who still want to view it to be able to without worrying about all the creeps out there ;)

Pretty sure only about 5 people even read it based on the comments we get!

Basketball and races!!

We had quite the eventful weekend! It started out Friday night at SLCC watching Hailee play. Unfortunately, they lost by only 4 points. It was such a CLOSE game all the way down to the very end. Bummer! Saturday was a big day.. Hailee played down at Snow college and instead of driving down to see her play she requested that the family go back to SLCC to watch the Syracuse lady titans play in their 3rd Championship game in a row. Of course this year they got the W! We'll be Titan fans for life :) I didn't get to go to the game with my mom and grandma because it was also the BIG horse racing weekend at Golden Spike. Last year and this year Cody has been helping a lot with his dads chariot team and he just LOVES it. It's been so fun getting to watch them race every weekend but this past weekend was the State races so it was a bit more intense than just the usual races. Their team has done so well this year and ended up in the first division (the first place/best teams). Cody had literally been pacing around the house all week long getting ready for it. All their hard work paid off and they totally deserved to win.. and win they did :)

Codys dad Greg (who drives the team) on his way to being the STATE CHAMPIONS!

After the race, we all headed out onto the track for our picture!

After the race, getting the horses all cleaned up and ready to take over to the test barn where they have to take a mandatory drug test on the winning horses. Notice their awesome trophy :)

Afterwards we went up to Codys dads to "celebrate" and get the horses all cleaned up and fed.

Aren't they sooo cute?? (Cody is Gregs little mini me!) I'm SO happy he's been able to help his dad so much, I know they have both loved getting to spend so much time together. It's really been so fun!!

***********************

I honestly never thought Cody would be as much into this horse racing as he's been but he has totally fallen in love with it and I couldn't be happier for him! My cute cowboy.. who would've thought? :)

lOvE dAy!!

Or weekend.. I should say. A few months back I had planned on getting Cody tickets to the Jazz-Oklahoma City Thunder game for Valentines Day. We hadn't been to a Jazz game yet this year so of course we wanted to go watch them play the best team in the NBA (mostly Codys man crush Kevin Durant, haha). Lucky for me the game actually fell on the 10th the Friday before V-day. A few weeks ago I was talking to my good friend Sara while coloring her hair one night and she told me not to buy tickets because she could get them for us and VIP! Win-win :)

We met them down at ESA around 7 (even though it was a late game) to have dinner in the VIP room before the game started. I loved it.. all the free food, snacks and desserts you can imagine! (I had several helpings!) On the way to our seats we got to walk around the tunnel and see where all the cool/rich people hang out ;) we also got to see where the locker rooms are, where ESPN and the camera crews were set up and the cute Jazz dancers. We ended up with row 14 seats and they were awesome! On our way up to our seats from the floor we just so happened to run into the Jazz bear who grabbed my face and gave me a BIG ol' smooch! Ha ha, totally made my night. Thanks again friend for the night, we had a BLAST with you and Colt. Can't wait for our next get-together!

**************************

Every year we've gone out for the night somewhere but this year has been so busy for both of us with work.. etc. so since it fell on a Tuesday anyway we just planned to have a fun night together.

Monday night Cody helped me make some super yummy homemade oreo cookies. We made them heart shaped and with pink frosting to be festive! Cody's not much of a sweets fan so I got to pretty much enjoy the whole plate :)

**************************

Valentines Day we both had to work so once we were off we met at home to change and give each other our gifts. This holiday falls right in between Christmas and our birthdays so we usually keep the gifts small and personal.

I know, I know we're the crazy dog people but I had to get my little Valentine something so Duke man got this cute new blanket. He loves blankets! Such a poser, ha ha!

My cute boy with his Valentines treats!


And me with mine. Cody had those beautiful flowers, that HUGE card and the balloons delivered to me at work. I was totally surprised and I loved it. He's such a sweetheart.

We finished the night by having dinner at Iggy's and afterwards we headed over to the Megaplex to see "The Vow." It was sooo cute and even Cody didn't mind it too much :) We had a perfect night together and I hope you all got to enjoy it with your loved ones! ♥
