Stephen and I had date night! Not last week, but the week before. =) He was sweet enough to take us to Red Lobster for endless shrimp night!
Steve LOVES having his picture taken...
I don't exactly love having my picture taken, but was way too excited to have one on one time with him!
From Red Lobster we went to the mall. Believe it or not, I didn't find anything I wanted.
HOWEVER, Stephen did. =)
After dinner, he treated me to Starbucks!
When we got there, Stephen and I had to wait a loooong time before we ordered our coffee...
See how patient he is?
Food doesn't always sit well in my stomach.
Little did I know there was vinegar in one of the sauces for the shrimp.
But he loves me and will wait for me...evil eyes and all!
IT was a delicious dopio!
You can't go wrong with those!
In between that date, and the museum, Steve and the kids brightened EVERY one of my mornings.
No matter how frazzled, stressed, psycho, I got - they loved me and brightened up the day!
I accidentally slept in, but Stephen helped me smile!
Abby told me at one point she loves me like a sandwich!
I look like death, but he still kisses me!
Kyle had given me a hug and kiss.
Once he saw the camera, he suddenly became engrossed in his book.
Kaden even offered me his treat!
Yes, that is his treat and not his tongue sticking out.
Now...to the moment you all have been waiting for.
Short version - I need horse fixes.
Stephen decided to surprise me with going to the horse festival with me!
We told the kids we were going to the Fork and Spoon Museum.
We got them spiral notebooks and pencils to take notes.
They had to write a report about the various historical forks and spoons they would see.
There were spoons from before there was metal work discovered.
Others were used by patriarchs, such as George Washington!
See how excited Kyle and Abby were?
Abby is a perfectionist.
By the time we took this picture, she was almost in tears because she couldn't draw a fork or spoon.
To help them feel better, we swung by our favorite local coffee shop.
Stephen & I got coffee.
Kyle and Abby split a coke, it seemed to help their moods as bit.
I tried to take a picture of Stephen and me.
9 times out of 10, he does something similar to this in a picture...
WAIT!!!! WHAT/!??!?! THE HORSE FESTIVAL!?!?!
YYYAAAYYY!!!!!
Here are a few pictures of our day =)
This is Abby's favorite!
It took 3rd for color.
She got to go visit it in the stall and pet it!
Stephen and my favorite... =)
This horse took first place in mounted marksmen ship...Basically shooting from horse back.
The guy was super nice and let Abby feed the horse cookies then led her around a bit.
Kyle found a couple horses he liked...
GOLDEN CORRAL! ICE CREAM AND PIZZA!
YYYEEEEAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!
Now, I leave you with this final photo.
It shows Stephen and me as we truly are.
Me the ever happy innocent one...and him, well, I'll let you decide!
