I love Benny...

And Brave and True too!!!

Benny was working from home today, so we tried not to bother him, so that he could get a lot of work done and we could spend time together in the evening. Although, every once in awhile, I had to send my little messengers to deliver my Valentine's Day cards to him... and some he just found in unexpected places! It was fun...
Well, Brave tried to eat all my messages... she thought they were sweet!

Then of course, True and I did a little baking. Earlier in the week, Sprinkles Cupcakes owner, Candance Nelson was on Martha Stewart and she gave away one of her cupcake recipes. I was dying to try it and Valentine's Day was the perfect opportunity. So, it turned into a baking lesson for True...




I had so much fun baking with Truey. She was so cute in her apron and I love my Anthropologie apron.
Now it was Benny's turn to cook one of my favorite meals of his...

Yummy Spicy Garlic Shrimp, accompanied with Sauted Asparagus and Mashed Garlic Cauliflower... and of course we had a side of Garlic Oil for dipping with bread.
And of course more goodies...
And for my little Valentinas...
And Bravery still kept on eating everything. She said, " Mom, I can't help it, they are all so sweet!!!"
Then, True started to eat everything too. They had a so sweet message for their Papi...
And the three (Benny, Brave, and True) had a sweet poem for me... and to end it 3 hearts made of each of their thumb prints.
True and mine's final product... not quite as gorgeous as the real thing, but it tasted pretty darn close! I love Sprinkles...
So we ended the evening with Benny finding all of his valentines... and all of us happily swimming in love notes, cupcakes, and lots of love...

I love my Benny so much...

True is so cute in her apron baking.I enjoyed another great production. Thank you, Honey, I love and miss my four children.
Ben you look very handsome with your prolific beard even though it takes over two thirds your face. I am still reminding myself that you are the same as that baby that was running all over the house not too long ago. I am so proud of you Honey and I love so.

Hi Abbey! Thank you for such sweet words. Feel free to stop by and comment again!!! The banner with all the sweetheart candies were made by me for my huband for his Valentine cards. It took forever to do as I made 10 different messages using the candies! But it was a lot of fun and brought a smile to his face, so it was well worth it!!!

love, ruby
