After lunch time I decided I was was going hiking behind our house and climb the hill to the the top to capture some good snow pics. Growing up as a kid it brought back a lot of memories as we used to climb the hill all the time and explore. The terrain always changes so MUCH when it snows and a beautiful white blanket is applied to the landscape. 

Valentine' Day was officially Tuesday. It's tax season so Kellie is once again working after hours for her friend Renea doing income taxes. Kellie was not coming home until after 8:00p.m. I placed red candles around the house to create a nice atmosphere in our home. I also cooked for Kellie, I made chili. It was cold this day so it was perfect for the night. I realized on my home from work that this was going to be my first time in 18 years that I have not seen our beautiful daughter Kortni on Valentine's Day. So I had an idea and I sent a text to Kortni and she sent me a pic of herself. Yes! - I was so happy, I did get to see Kortni on Valentine's Day. 

Kellie bought some Valentine's Day stuff for Kortni & Morgan (college room mate) & her male friend - Shawn. Tonight (Friday) Kellie made chocolate covered strawberries for all of them plus baked a small brownie cake for them. We are going to take these to Kortni and her friends on Saturday since we are going to the RaZorback basketball game. 

Now it's time to go to Lost Valley to see some waterfalls. Clark Creek that runs along the trail was still dry and void of water. So ready to see this creek flow with water in its natural beauty. At the natural bridge area there is a waterfall that is coming out of a large cavern. It was very aWesome to see this waterfall and to hear the flow of water. It's amaZing to me to hear the sound of a waterfall before you even see it. 

Traveling past this waterfall the trail follows along a large high bluff on the right side and beautiful trees and a sloped hill on the left. There are some rock steps to climb at time that make it for an easier hike. You will fall in love with this trail as there something for everyone here.  The excitement builds as you go past the Eden Falls and you can begin to hear the faint roar of the water . Edens Falls is a smaller water compare to many however it is in a beautiful setting was you see it flows from high above the rocks. 

Going past Eden Falls you will go up some steep steps on the way to the cave. You can enter the cave but you need to take a flashlight. There is a waterfall inside the cave. I did not go inside the cave because I was by myself, being safe is always healthy. The trail officially ends here but as most areas there is always more to explore if you have the times and energy.  

Starting going up the 'Hill to the Big game  - Arkansas vs Michigan - by stopping at McD's for breakfast.  You just can't beat picking up McD's on the way for a road tip. It was a beautiful "nippy" brisk morning and mu

This pic shows the pre-game shoot around at the game. It's always an exciting feeling to be at a Razorback basketball game. Kortni was at the game and of course sitting in the student section. She sent me a text before the game and asked me if we had any cash. I said Yes and Kortni said she would meet me at halftime. That's funny stuff to me  - KG is cute, I love my buddy. 

Kellie ordered the tickets for the game and we picked them up at the will-call table just inside the arena. We sat in Section 206, Row 6, Seats 115 and 116. These seats are next to the section aisle coming into Section 206. There are only two seats next to each other. It's really kinda cool.  Each fan was given a free mini banner when we walked in. It's pretty neat - gonna take mine to work and put it in my cube. 

This pic shows the time of the start of the game when the Razorback players are introduced. The crowd was Huge (19,050) - only a few hundred shy of complete attendance. 

I was texting Ed Anderson on the way to the game. Ed and Donna were also going to the game. They were one section away from us and we stopped to talk to them before going to our seats. They are great people and good friends. We should all have good friends that are part of our lives.

We had a Michigan fan sitting behind us.  He was yelling for his team during the game and of course annoying me. I brought up my cheering level for the Hogs since he was cheering for Michigan. It actually turned out that he was from Ft. Smith and was a Hog fan born in Michigan. So happy the Hogs and his  team lost. Yes!

This pic is showing the Razorback football team that a few weeks ago won the Cotton Bowl. It was a cool moment and the fans were super loud as we yelled for our team. They also brought in the Cotton Bowl trophy. Tyler Wilson was awarded the MVP of the Cotton Bowl game. Tyler has made us Greenwood Bulldog fans very proud. 

I met Kortni at halftime and gave her some cash. Also met a sorority sister of Kortni, Robyn. It's easy for Kortni to meet friends and she has some great ones.

This pic shows victory for the Arkansas Razorbacks against the Michigan Wolverines. It was a great game for a Razorback fan to watch. The Hogs shot 65%  for the 1st half of the game. The crowd noise was unbelievable. It was a fun time for Kellie and I to watch at the game. 

The game started slipping away from the Razorbacks during the 2nd half but Coach Anderson did a great job with the team to pull of the win. The Razorbacks are now 14-0 this season at home. 

This is a pic of the Razorback crowd leaving after celebrating another great win by their team. We left the game and went to go eat with Ed and Donna at Famous Dave's in Rogers. Kortni and Robyn rode with us to eat.  Another couple from church that was also at the the game, Mark and Jody met us at Famous Dave's.

Kellie and I talked about how great a day we had seeing Kortni before the game, being at the game and watching the Hogs win, having Kortni and her friend Robyn go to eat us with us, eating with Ed and Donna and Mark and Jody. Good days are always great days.
