~10th Anniversary~

We celebrated our 10th Wedding Anniversary on May 19th.  We actually didn't celebrate until the weekend after the actual day :) and it was a pretty busy weekend.  I'm so happy we were able to get away and go to St. George for a few hours.  We headed to the Temple first and did some Temple Sealings.  Such a great way to celebrate our anniversary. Awesome!

Uh.....this is not a flattering picture....of course he has to pull faces! LOL

 It was a beautiful day at the Temple

 Then we went off to Texas Roadhouse to eat..YuM!!

 Just fooling around at dinner! :)

 We were so stuffed after dinner....so we walked around some shops...so fun without the kids...haha.
Just chillin'....Trying out some camping chairs. :)

We were still so stuffed, but the plans were that we were going to get dessert at Cold Stone.  I ended up getting some and we each could only take a few bites.....but it's just soooo good!! Wish I had some right now :)

Artie ended up getting me a new Rose bush and also a "pink lemonade" lemon tree and also some Honeysuckle.  I'm so excited to plant them all. Thank you honey!!

We had a great afternoon together just us, we didn't do anything too fancy, but just right! It seems weird that it has already been 10 years.....can't wait for the next 50.

8 years!

Engaged Christmas Day 2000 Wedding Day May 19, 2001 It's crazy how much has changed in 8 years and that we now have 3 kids and 1 on the way! I can't wait for the next 50 years! I love you so much Artie! Happy Anniversary!

WHoO HoO... 7 YEARS!

Our Anniversary was Monday. We were married May 19, 2001... it's been 7 years! It actually seems like it's been longer...(in a good way :)) I guess we've been together for 8, but anyway, I can't wait for the next 50 years! I love you honey... I can't imagine life without you. You are the best husband and Daddy Ever! You are my best friend and I know I can always count on you to stand by me no matter what crazy scheme I come up with next!

So, Artie and I were in the same grade, from Kindergarten through High school we went to the same school. I think for people who knew us both, it was weird that we got married, cuz we never dated or anything. We were friends, but never really hung out much and never dated. This was a random picture taken our senior year.... someone gave it to me at my bridal shower.... I had never seen it before and It was kinda crazy and now it's even more crazy... cuz we now live in that same house that the picture was taken! Weird, or what??!!

DaTiNg! Fun Times!
We were Engaged Christmas Day 2000

And the rest is History....

For Our Anniversary this year... Saturday we went to St. George and Artie and I went to Dinner at the Texas Roadhouse (YUM) and then had dessert at Cold Stone.... yummy! (Thanks Walter and Brittnee for the Gift Certificate and for watching the kids for us.... )

Then, we took a little mini vacation (only 45 minutes away... in St. George) We took the kids with us and we stayed at a Hotel Sunday night and then Monday we had a blast... we went to Fiesta Fun, the kids won 720 tickets in the arcade, so they picked a few different prizes, they loved driving the kiddie go carts all by themselves, and playing on the soft play mats and slides and we played miniture golf... (the girls did great... I was the one who lost my ball in the pond :)) and the girls and I went on the bumper boats and sprayed Daddy and Ammon while they were watching us...

Then, we went to The Discovery Dinosaur Site... my Aunt and Her husband are the ones that discovered the Dinosaur tracks back in 2000 and we had never gone to their museum yet...it was So Cool..... Pretty awesome of all the findings that they discovered right there in St.George and on their property! So Cool! Then, we went to the Wild Life Museum..... that was so fun too... they have so many different animals and the girls loved it! So, we weren't far from home, but we did things that we never get to do in St. George, cuz we are usually there for shopping, or Dr. Appts.. or whatever else... I really felt like we were far from home on a great vacation. The best part was we only had to drive about 45 minutes to get back home! We had a Great time!! (I'm so mad I totally forgot the camera... :(****
