Flowers, Flowers, and more Flowers!

There have been a lot of beautiful additions to my house lately, and I've snapped a few picture! First is my Amaryllis which is now fully blooming, and beautiful!



And I harassed Jim enough for him to her me some Valentine's Day Roses...
(Jim! $15 at Meijer! You should get me some! )

Little did I know he had already ordered some to be delivered ON Valentine's Day :)



On Friday we had a nice thaw, sunshine and all! And I even found a small sign of spring starting to grow! I hope they can survive the 3 more inches of snow we got last night... :-P

This weekend Ashley (Jim's sister) and her dog Moxie came to visit. Allie and Moxie actually got along for the first time! They played so well together... Here they are playing outside in the snow :)

So I've failed to blog as often as Amy, but I have been trying to take a few more pictures to blog about! This past weekend we had people over for the Super Bowl, which was a nice end to the weekend.



We also had our own version of the Puppy Bowl (on Animal Planet each year Super Bowl Sunday). Allie was here of course, and Ashley (Jim's Sister) brought Moxie, the brown 11mo old Miniature Pincher/Terrier mix. And Holly brought her 12 week old black lab puppy, Guinness, which she had just picked up Friday. Allie is definitely the old (behaved) lady out of the group!

Allie had enough of the young'ens and wanted to just cuddle on my lap - so sweet! She is aging faster than I ever imagined - 4 years old this past week!
PetSmart sent her a birthday card/coupon, so I went and found some soft frisbees on clearance! Even though they will become outside toys this spring, we have been careful with them in the house. :)

On Saturday we went out to celebrate Jim's Grandpa and Grandma King's 50th Anniversary. They took the family out to Blue Water Grill, a very nice restaurant, and then back to Jim's Aunt and Uncle's for drinks after. Which ended up being a very fun, very late night for all.




And Jim and I finally got to hanging some wedding pictures in the living room! Yay for no longer having a bare wall!
