I'm not sure what we did the whole first half of February, but we'll jump right in with Valentine's Day. I woke up that morning to a bunch of notes hanging from the ceiling that James had written to me. They were all things that he loves about me or other nice things. He's truly the best!
Then I went to walk downstairs and there a whole bunch more! I read them all and cried. That's what I do these days (or that's what I do all the time regardless of pregnancy), but he is really so thoughtful, caring, and selfless! Love, love, love him forever!

| Sondra sent James home with some homemade Valentine's goodies. Yum! Sugar cookies for breakfast...don't mind if I do! |
After getting ready for the day, we headed up to Salt Lake to go out to breakfast. We thought this tradition last year was awesome since the restaurants around here get crazy on Valentine's night. Plus, who doesn't love eating out for breakfast? Delish! We went to the Park Cafe which is just south of Liberty Park. It was a packed house!
 |
| Huevos Rancheros, french toast, eggs, potatoes, bacon, heaven! |
After breakfast, we walked around Memory Grove Park for a bit and then headed up to Bountiful to go to the temple. A lot of the temples down in our neck of the woods were closed, so we thought the ones that were open would be crazy, so a short drive to Bountiful was in order. It is beautiful! We came home from the temple and took a long nap. I'm talking a full blown, in bed, in pajamas nap.
Then that night we did dinner at home James and Kerri style!
Rib eye, roasted potatoes, sauteed mushrooms, steamed fancy carrots, and strawberry/feta/candied almonds/balsamic over fresh spinach. It was mouth watering!
 |
| Cheers to love! Nap hair and faces! |
Then for dessert we made chocolate lava cakes! Another great V-day in the books with my honey!
The next weekend, one of my old roommates, Siri, had a baby shower. She was roommates with Amy and I down in Provo. She's about 5-6 weeks behind me and is also having her first child...a boy! It was so fun to see her and catch up a little!

| Never been anything bigger than my belly here. I haven't worn that outfit since! Not flattering at all! |
Here is a random from the month. We found this gigantic jar of banana peppers at Walmart. I love them! And I especially love them while pregnant!
On the 28th, James and I finally got to experience his big Christmas present from me. I got him tickets to the Alton Brown Live Show. We first went to dinner at Pallet. It was the first time for both of us at this restaurant and it was extra awesome delicious!

| Us and "Alton" |
 |
| There he is! |
It was a great, great show! For those who don't know who Alton is, he is a famous chef with lots of shows on the Food Network (Good Eats, Cutthroat Kitchen, Next Food Network Star host, Iron Chef America). He is hilarious! The show was sort of a variety show that included him telling outrageous stories, singing, rapping, and doing a couple of cooking demos. I would go again in a heartbeat. James loved it! He wants Alton to be his best friend. Haha! We love the Food Network, cooking, and Alton in our house, so this was definitely a night to remember! A Christmas present success! Hurray!
Boom that's February!
