San Diego

We had such a fun time in San Diego for our 10th anniversary.  We flew Dani down to Las Vegas to be with the kids and jumped in the car and headed down to the beach.  We had a great time.  It is fun for a few days just being together not worrying about nap and bedtimes, potty breaks and being constant entertainment.  We missed that though and were ready to get back to it when we went home.  But it definitely was good to get away!

I am a LOSER Wife

I really am a loser wife, but the good news is is that means I have the best husband in the world.  This year Garrett and I celebrated our 10th anniversary!!! I didn't really want to do much, maybe go out to dinner or something.  Garrett insisted that we go somewhere and do something really fun this special year.  We decided upon San Diego.

Since we were going to San Diego right after our actual anniversary date, we were not going to do anything on that day.  Or so I thought.  I did not do anything.  But not Garrett.  He brought home roses that were just like my bouquet on our wedding day.  And a card so sweet I started to cry.  I already felt so bad, I had nothing to show for our 10th anniversary.  Then right before bed Garrett called me over to where he was sitting to show me a DVD he made of the first 10 years of our marriage.  It was pictures of just me and him over the last 10 years put to music.  

It was AMAZING!! I could not believe it and cried again (I am a baby, especially when I feel guilty).  He was awesome and definitely made our 10th anniversary unforgettable.

Back To School

First day of school this year came with excitement and jitters.  Dallin loves school but gets very nervous each year with all the newness that comes with it.  Dallin is starting 2nd grade.  Kennedy could not have been more excited to start preschool at Miss Erika's this year.  

Moments Like These

One day this summer Dallin called me downstairs.  I came down and this was on the table for me.  Flowers, a glass of orange juice and a note that said, "Dear Mom thanks love Dallin"  I asked him what this was all for and he said for everything.  It is moments like these that makes being a mom so great!

Back to School Pictures

First "Official" Tooth Loss

MillCreek Canyon

We were hilarious heading up to the canyon last minute.  Garrett flew into town from New Jersey and we had the day planned.  We went to see Cars 2 and then headed up the canyon.  With no time to spare.  We grabbed things for hotdogs and smores and had to get ketchup at the gas station.  But spur of the moment events are the best!  We had a great time.  The kids hiked and explored, found treasures and played in the stream.
