On Valentines, I had so much fun making bfast...Buddy ate his card before I could snap a picture of it....
Ruby's place mat... she loved the special shaped pancake...I don't know if I'd call it heart shape necessarily but 'special'...
Marty's place, with my fancy-wancy card...ha ha
After bfast we were both able to work out and shower and just hang with our kids for a bit. We had other plans for our date, but the weather hampered some of those, so we took advantage of the snow and went snow-shoeing...!!! It was so much fun and sooo beautiful...the snow was amazing...
Then we went out to eat (early , about 4:30 and totally missed all the crowds) at The Bistro on 25th Street in downtown Ogden. It's right by Marty's work so he knows it well. I've been one other time and it is SOOOO good. Well worth a fifteen dollar plate (plus we had a coupon). Definitely fine dining in my opinion. I had a pasta with greek olives, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, grilled chicken, artichoke hearts and pine nuts all in a olive oil/lemon sauce. yummmmm
Last but not least we went up to Morgan to share a dessert with my family and go to the Morgan Stake Dance with my sisters and spouses. It was hilarious and we stayed for a good 30 min. and headed home for some alone time.... now that, to me is a pretty perfect day....

I was trying to pull a serious face like Marty but my brother-in-law made a comment about us and I lost it at the last second....I love how you know me. Friends from our 'growing' years are irreplaceable.
Yea for the perfect day. I still haven't checked out the triathlon. I promise I will do it soon. Sorry. Have fun.
Hey Mindy!! I totally forgot I had your blog and I just found the paper today!! Your Valentines day did look perfect! I loved your card and the feather!! Awesome!! Your blog is super cute and your breakfast you made for your fam was super sweet too! You are such a cute mommy!!
Man, you really out did yourself with the heart shaped pancake...I am not letting my kids see this blog for sure...i don't want to hear about how their mother made them eat cereal on V day.
In all seriousness, I agree that you are a wonderful example to us all on how to LOVE all stages of life. I could NEVeR hate you for being an over acheiver.
