Valentine's Day

Usually for Valentine's Day we go out to dinner, but this year I wanted to make Tom a nice dinner. And I did it!! I cooked a legit dinner all from scratch! (Except the breadsticks, whoops) And I'm pretty proud of it so I'm blogging about it:) First we had Ceasar Salad, breadsticks, and Zuppa tuscano soup (similar to Olive Garden's sausage potato soup) honestly the best soup either of us have ever had!!!!! Seriously if anyone wants a delicious soup recipe, hit me up. Shopping for the ingredients was like a whole new experience! I had no idea what kale was and good thing I watch food network or I would never have know how to get into that garlic!
Then we had Chicken Cordon Bleu's for the main course. Good thing no one watched me prepare this meal because I'm sure it would have been pretty entertaining. So you are supposed to pound out the chicken breasts to 1/4 inch thick with a meat mallet (who has that??! not me) so I improvised with wrapping the chicken in saran wrap and using the side of our hammer to pound it out:) worked like a charm! Anyways they were pretty darn good as well!
Tom was pretty impressed and surprised when he got home from work! And I was pretty impressed as well! But one thing I learned for sure, that cooking...really cooking... not the way I normally molly mormon cook, with Cream of Chicken in everything...is freakin expensive and time consuming! But really good! After dinner Tom cleaned up and did dishes (aw) and then we watched Dolphin Tale (because it was my date and I wanted just a happy feel good movie! Cheesy I know but it was soo cute!! we loved it! Tom also brought me home these roses and pretzel M&M's!! yes!! he knows the way to my heart!
So all in all an awesome Valentine's Day date at home with the love of my life! :)

More baby stuff!

We finally have a baby room all set up for our little one!! When Tom was painting I went to check on him and found him doing this:) So you can kind of see the before... hideous lime green...
...and here is the after!!
Here I was at 34 weeks
Look how cute these two precious babies are!
Last week was kinda crazy! Tom was gone to Houston TX from Monday morning until Thursday night for his work training so I missed him a ton (especially since I was SUPER sick on monday and had to call in sick with no one to comfort me:( ) So I'm so glad he is home again. On Saturday, Stephanie, Brittany and Jenni threw me an awesome baby shower!! Thank you so much again ladies! I have the best friends in the world! Look at this spread! It looks like a reception!
I didn't take any pics during the shower but here are some I took at the end!
Here is Jenni rummaging through the gifts to decide which ones she was going to take home with her:) haha
And afterwards the husbands came over to eat the leftovers and hang out.
Hayden, Bridger and Gage playing with all the toys!
It was such a good night and we got so many amazing gifts from everyone! We are very grateful for all the family and friend support in our lives:)
