My funny Valentine(s).

Keeping up with my tradition of buying Valentines shirts after they go on clearance, and taking some much needed updated pictures of the boys...

Poor guy has NO personality... can't you tell?  :)

Usually Cohen is the better picture-taker, but I was able to catch quite a bit of ... ahem... personality from Jaxon yesterday.  I love it.

(see last years pictures here)

Our teens had a fundraiser at church last night, 3 hours of childcare for $15 for both boys.  We debated for a while what to do and joked that dropping them off and just coming back home for a quiet evening sounded pretty amazing.

We ended up celebrating Valentines in true Kansas City form... Oklahoma Joe's BBQ.  Add trying this restaurant to your bucket list right now... so yum!!

Tyler had some go-carts planned for afterwards, but we changed our mind after seeing the outrageous prices, so then he suggested Target + Starbucks... I wasn't in the mood for either.  I know, really weird.  I told him I didn't care what we did at that point, so he chose Best Buy.

BBQ + Best Buy, Valentines 2013.

From the bottom of my heart, I really didn't care.  It's always good to enjoy some one-on-one time with my Man.  Conversations that aren't fueled by "take a bite and then you can get down", "get your feet off the table", and "STOP teasing your brother".

I love his dimples.

He left about an hour ago to go to Colorado for the weekend.  One of his good buddies from college (that he lived with for a long time) is getting married, and it originally started as a family vacation, but he wasn't able to get as much time off from work as we wanted.  I wasn't about to drive 8 hours with the boys (plus hotel cost, meals, etc) just to spend 1 day there.  Someone tell me you would have made the same decision so I can stop feeling guilty about not going.

Have a happy weekend!  And pray for my sanity, if you think of it.  :)
