Easter Bunnies

A few weeks ago Liz Applegate wanted to test out some pictures with our bunnies. The deal was she gets to use our bunnies for Easter pictures and we got the test pictures. This was the first day of Parkers real yuckey spell so he didn't last very long ro get more pictures of him. Aurora loved being the model so so much I might have to get her an agent! Any way here are my favorites.

Valentines

After Jared and I were married the only Valentines we ever celebrated in a "special" way was our first and I had planned the whole thing. We were living with my parents so I made arrangements to stay at the Marriott for the night. It was so nice to be alone! So it has been 4 years of just going to dinner then back to the kid and no time alone. (not complaining just stating facts kids=no "us" time) Anyway, this year Jared planned a surprise weekend in Durango! He didn't even tell me where we were going until I had to plug it into the GPS that night! The time away was so fantastic and I really enjoyed having a romantic night with Jared. He planned everything a rustic Hotel AMAZING dinner and a movie (we were going to go ice skating but work ran late so we didn't get there in time for it... bummer)

Our Hotel was the Strater Hotel on Main. Built in the late 1800's when Durango was first established. The place had been updated with the necessary accommodations but as a whole the place was so rustic and old fashioned I LOVED IT! the help was so great and told us to go up the street to dinner so...

We went to Cyprus, a Mediterranean cafe it was so quaint and intimate I loved it, best part NO KIDS! Not one in the place! everyone talked in hushed tones it was so relaxing to just sit and talk to Jared about anything and everything. Not to mention the food was FANTASTIC! We joked that we ate so fast, it looked like we hadn't eaten in days Jared was worried our waitress would ask us "umm are you guys gunna have to do the dishes?"I laughed but I told him we were dressed to nice to be considered bums of the street. We tried to slow down but we just loved the food so much we couldn't get more fast enough.
We had to hurry back to get the car so we could make our movie. It wasn't the best but the company was A+ We got back to the Hotel and I will not bore you with the rest of the nights activities.

In the morning we didn't have time to sleep in because Jared booked another surprise so we tore ourselves from the most comfortable bed and checked out. He drove us down the road just 2 miles and we pulled into the parking lot of Signature Salon & Spa! At first I thought he had gotten me a much needed hair appointment but as he told the soft spoken receptionist our names she said "oh yes this is one of your therapists now" She led us to the changing rooms and we enjoyed a WONDERFUL couples massage.

I Love my husband so so so much and am so grateful for how romantic he is. He is always getting me flowers for no reason, bring home presents and such. I am so blessed to have someone who spoils me so willingly and without the "I'm in the doghouse" excuse! I Love you Jared Buttrey!!!!!!!!!!!!!
