The Reth Fam: Valentine's Day and more!

This year we celebrated Valentine's Weeks instead of Day since Ross and I started the festivities two weekends ago by grabbing Subway (Winterset's Subway is the best!!!) and going to see "We Bought a Zoo" at the Winterset theater. Frama and Papa offered to watch Blakely while we went on our date and that night was the first time Blakely went to bed without Ross or I. According to Frama and Papa, she was a champ and didn't have any issues and, as a first time mom, that was great to hear! It's so nice not worrying about Blakely while we are out and it really allows me to enjoy spending one-on-one time with Ross. :)

We also gave Blakely one of her Valentine's gifts early....a walker! Ross ordered it for her and even though I was nervous about it (surprise, surprise ;) )...she loves it and I'm so glad he got it for her! :)

Proud Daddy :)

Look at me!

Yeah...that's right...I'm a natural!

I love her! :)

Then this past weekend, Ross ordered Casey's breakfast pizza on Saturday and when he came home he accidentally showed the $50 Casey's gift card he got for me for V-day... He explained Casey's didn't have any other gift card amounts and thought $50 would cover all of the times Blakely and I go for breakfast pizza after her doctor appointments! :) He knows us too well.... (I love him!)

We also served at his parents' church's Valentine's Dinner Saturday night, while Nini and Granddaddy watched Blakes. She had a blast eating Nini's stew, taking a bath and being put to bed by her grandparents! (Again, so thankful for our family being able to watch Blakely and not worrying while we are out!) As for the dinner, even though we were the Help for the night, it was a really fun time and, again, I loved spending time with my hubby!

Once Valentine's Day arrived we thought it was simply going to be like any other day, however; Blakely received a surprise visit from her Granddaddy who brought Valentine treats! B got to experience her first puff Cheeto and colored Goldfish! (Leave it to Granddaddy to introduce her to a new food ;) ) Then we topped off the night going for Hy-Chi with my family. It was so simple, yet so nice! Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day and know how much they are loved by God and others! :)
