I don't seem to be able to do an "end of month" blog update as I hoped, but thankfully I remember not *too* far into the new month. ;)
February was a good month and a very quick month. We celebrated Michael's birthday which was nice. I made a very chocolate-y cake and we decided to try out the new "Bourbon Brothers" place across from the new Bass Pro Shop. The food was incredibly good and we look forward to going back. We really enjoy the time with him when he gets the chance to come down.
We went back to a place we'd eaten at once a few years ago that we really enjoyed, " Rock Bottom Brewery" and it was fantastic! It so good that we went back the following Saturday to eat there again! They brew their own root beer on site and even though I'm not a particularly huge fan of root beer, this is pretty darn awesome! The shrimp and lobster tacos are out of this world good. We will be going back next week in fact as Jason wants it for his birthday lunch. :)
We celebrated that holiday, you know, on the 14th. :) We actually had a guy come out to talk with us about painting the outside of our house. We're having that done next week and can't wait!
I tried a new breakfast that I most certainly would have again, baked avocado with egg. YUM! If you don't like avocado, you won't like it. You take as many as you want, cut them in half, scoop out the pit and a spoonful of the meat, put a tiny bit of oil(I like olive)and salt, then break an egg into each half and sprinkle with pepper. LOVE!! You bake them for 15 minutes at 425. You can add crumbled bacon or sausage if you want, or chopped onion, and really you can put any seasoning you want. I tried splitting one egg into the two halves of one avocado which didn't work all that well, so next time I'll use two eggs. Still very tasty!
Chris and Michelle will be here next week for a few days and we're really excited about that. Michael is taking a day or two of vacation time and we'll have all 4 kids at home at the same time.
Now we're looking forward to spring and having the house painted and a few upcoming small trips out of town.
