February 14

Last Friday we went to the Zoo. Unfortunately, it was rainy and cold, but Bootsie had a good time hollering at the animals even though most of them were in their caves hiding from the rain. I was able to get to know several ladies that I had met at a Super Bowl party my sister took me to hosted by her Sunday School members. Each of the ladies were really nice and one even has a girl Bootsie's age, so we are planning on getting together. Bootsie loved petting the "sheep"(mind you that's a goat), everytime I corrected her she would say goat and then one second later she would call it a sheep again. Silly!

This past weekend we went to the Outlet Malls-awesome, I am talking the best every shop you could want and more. My sister, father and I all got cowboy boots, yeehaw! I bought new running shoes, now I don't have an excuse. Sunday we went to church, had lunch at home and packed up to go to the Stockshow grounds to show Bootsie the animals. We drove all the way down town only to find a line that was clear to the highway from the arena, so we made a u-turn and headed back home. We were soo disappointed and Bootsie seemed like she knew she had been cheated. I am going to take them down on Thursday to see the animals.

I had the girls pictures taken yesterday, boy that was an experience. I showed up at 11:10am and they didn't get to us until 11:45(my appt. was for 11). After doing the photo shoot and then viewing all the pictures, waiting for all the paper work and everything else, we didn't leave the mall until 1:15pm. Fortunately, they have a good entertainment area for kids. The pictures are going to be adorable. Luvy has one that she took on a bed of pink rose petals soo cute. That was all I did the whole day except for exercise and make cookies.

Bootsie has a Valentines party at her mother's day out today, first one, so we will see what she thinks. I made cookies and Valentine's for her to hand out. I hope she has fun.

Luvy is now 4mos. old, I can't believe it. She is cooing, blowing and making all sorts of funny noises. She continues to be easy and a pure joy. Love her smile, her whole face lights up!

Happy Valentines to all my friends at home in Mt. Home, I miss you all. Lots of love, Ralee
