Suite Hearts

Well girls, daddy out did himself once again for Valentine's day. Steak and lobster dinner was excellent and goodie bags were well recieved by my suite hearts. We even invited grandma to share in the love. On Saturday daddy took mommy on a date and I was going to make it a surprise but since mommy hates surprises I gave her a heads up. So where did we go you ask? Hawaii?, Paris?, Venice?, the beach?, a really fancy restaurant?....NO, we went to beautiful Redlands CA. to go fishing. YES fishing. Ever since Andrew and I went fishing I am literally hooked and want to take the whole family fishing. We didn't catch anything and mommy froze her butt off but it was a nice drive and we had fun anyway. So the lesson here is that you don't have to spend alot of money or make extravagent plans to make your loved ones happy on Valentine's day. Of course this goes for the other 364 days of the year as well. Thanks to all of my SUITE HEARTS for another fantastic Valentine's day. I Love you

Roll Out the Red Carpet for 2021

It's hard to believe that 2021 is here and it's already February. I didn't post anything from Christmas like I normally do because I got an update on my computer and for some reason I could not access the suite. After some hair pulling and a few cuss words I finally figured it out. Christmas was excellent even though we didn't get to spend time with as many people as we wanted to but hopefully soon we will be able to. Another important holiday is coming up this weekend.....Superbowl Sunday. When the girls were little we started a tradition that was supposed to get them interested in football and ask me all kinds of questions but it turned into them just coming to check the score every quarter. 2 weeks before the game I print out a pool with 100 squares and put it on the fridege then the girls can earn squares by doing chores, homework, rub daddy's feet, etc. In the past I would just give them a few bucks if they won but this year I am going to have to step up my game and offer some better prizes because the pool is still empty and the game is this Sunday. Maybe it's time to transition to the next generation and get Belle and Lexi to start rubbing papa's feet and earning squares. Projects have not slowed down in the suite in the new year and after thinking it would only take me a year or so to finish fixing up my fixer upper, I am in year 5 and only have about 3 projects to go. The kids are all doing great. Sarah is expanding the farm and it seems like she has a new animal every week. Andrew is doing good and just got a promotion at work that is keeping him busy. Michelle is turning 21 in a couple months so hopefully bars will open soon. Sophia is doing great in school bringing home her best grades to date and Mia is not letting covid kill her creativity painting all the walls in her room with different themes. (Pictures to come)

Still need to put the siding on but this shed helped me get alot of stuff out of my shed so I can officially call it a "Tool Shed"

Check out these artifacts I found in my planter when I was planting our apple tree. Not sure what they are but they look really old and pretty cool

My new favorite show is Cobra Kai and I love this picture. I was always "Team Johnny" growing up and thought Daniel deserved to get his ass kicked for moving in on Johnny's girl and everyone loves Mr. Miyagi
