My nat nat has started her own blog. She’s mostly using it to showcase her drawings. Check it out:

The kids made me cupcakes for Valentines Day. They started baking last night. I asked Tyler, “What are guys doing?” and before he could say anything Natalie said “Don’t tell her Tyler! It’s a surprise!” They finished up icing the cupcakes this evening after dinner. Tyler was so excited about adding the sprinkles on.

Nat enjoyed licking the icing while working on the cupcakes!

I also got 2 bouquets of flowers. Tyler got me red roses cause he knew (well Dad knew) they are my favorite, but Natalie insisted on selected a bunch of wild flowers. So they added them together in this vase for a pretty combination!

One of the hotel/resorts in Reno was having a “free room” promotion so we booked 3 rooms and made a weekend of it. And yes, they were FREE indeed. We stayed at a place called ‘The Grand Sierra’. The kids had fun playing in the hotel and eating buffets. On Saturday, we took them to Circus Circus for brunch buffet and to play some games and then all of us went over to Northstar Village. We originally wanted to go tubing, but it was sold out so we settled on ice skating. It was Natalie and Tyler’s first time ice skating. Natalie enjoyed it, but Tyler didn’t. After a few rounds, Tyler decided to quit and hang out to eat churros instead.

In the evening everyone went for lobster buffet so I took the kids to eat at Johnny Rockets. Poor Tyler got sun-burned/chapped that day.
