Happy 34th Birthday to my BFF!

When the girls asked Jason about a week before his birthday how old he was going to be, he looked at me for the answer. He couldn't remember! If he can't remember at this point, what's it going to be like when he is actually old! Ha! The girls haven't let him forget since that he is "34!"

We all went out for his birthday a couple nights before. We had a good time eating, socializing, and shooting darts! We invite our families and whoever can come, comes! Here are some pic's from the night...




On his actualy birthday, the girls and I took him to Godfather's in Spirit Lake for supper and then went bowling! We had a fun time! I managed to beat him at 2 games! Here are some pic's from our fun night out...

Check out this move!

Here goes mommy! STRIKE!
Presley and Madison were showing off their moves too!

Thank goodness for electric score cards!

Presley thought under the legs worked better!

Check out the new bowling shoes the alley has!

Happy, Happy 34th Birthday to my BFF! We love you!

Bridges Bay Get-A-Way!

What a fun weekend we had last weekend with some great friends at Bridges Bay in Okoboji! We were excited to get a call from our friends earlier that week inviting us to go! 4 families and an awesome suite = a great weekend away! Just what we needed! This winter has been something else to say the least!

We all met up there between 5 and 8 p.m. on Friday night. We ordered in pizza and hit the pool for the first time that weekend! We were up until 1 (or was it 2) a.m. drinking and socializing!

Sat. we got up, had a great breakfast and went down to the pool the first of 3 times that day. We swam, ate, socialized, took naps, played, swam, ate, etc. I think you get the drift! We all brought different meals and fun snacks which worked out so nice.

The weather forecast for Sunday didn't stop us! We were not going to leave a second early to beat the weather. We all stayed until Sunday around 11 a.m. and then headed home. The roads were pretty icy and slushy but we all made it safely.

Check out the pictures below of our winter get-a-way...

This is what the guys do best...reminisce!

Happy Valentine's Day 2011

Happy Valentine's Day from the Sieve's!

We had a great day! Jason and I started dating 14 years ago this Valentine's Day! Is this a day you can celebrate - a Golden Dating Anniversary!?!?! I think so!

We gave the girls a couple little Valentine's presents...so here they are opening them up!

I picked the girls up a little early that day and we headed to Jackson to pick up Jason. Then we were off for supper at our absolute favorite place...Bergen! Our 2 little Valentine's came along!
Because this place is such a great place to eat, we knew we may have to wait. We got there at 4:45 to a line of about 25 people waiting. We put our name on the list and waited an hour in the car. It was filled with fun picture taking, game playing, reading books, coloring, and lots and lots of sillyness!!



Yeah, time for supper! As we waited for our food...we took a few more pic's!


Supper was delicious!!! When we got home, we took a few more V-Day pic's!
Here's hoping you had as nice of a Valentine's Day as we did!
