I Heart Valentine's Day

So, maybe this is old news cause Valentine's Day was a whole week ago, but I thought share our fun day with you! First of all, the three of us went to visit Tim, Abby and Dayton in Rigby. Uncle Doug got to see Dayton for the first time and I enjoyed holding him and thanks to Tim, I was allowed the priviledge of changing his diaper too! (Whatever it takes to get favorite aunt status, right?) And his chubby cheeks and beauiful eyes make my heart melt, so i'd do anything for this sweet little guy! He was so alert and it was fun to see a little more personality!Now, it only took us a year and a half in this house to realize that our kitchen table was better off in the kitchen, instead of in the dining/living room. But after moving our table there we realized that it just wasn't working out to well, and a new table was the only solution. We looked at a few and found this table at Oak Express/Furniture Row. It came with 4 barstools/chair and its counter height. We went and picked it up on Valentine's day, and so therefore, this is my gift from my valentine (i'm so spoiled i know).
After putting the new table together (you would think its came from IKEA seriously) and loading up the older one for Shane and Jess, we cooked a yummy dinner of steak, coconut shrimp, and mashed potatoes! We bought the shrimp frozen, all it had to do was bake for a few minutes and it was ready. I found a recipe for the pina colada sauce like they have at red lobster and it was all great! (and much cheaper than red lobster too)

And just in case any of you love coconut shrimp too, the brand was called SeaPak and we got it at Walmart and here's the sauce recipe: 1/3 cup sour cream, 1/3 cup pina colada drink mix, and crushed pineapple with a little bit of pineapple juice. Super easy, try it out!
