Our Ten Year Anniversary... Woo Hoo!

Wow! Time sure flies! I married my best friend on February 20, 1999. I feel so blessed to be married to such a wonderful person. He is truly an amazing father and husband and I feel so lucky to be married to him. He does so much for me and our family!

I scanned some of our wedding pictures in. I can't believe how young we both look- does that mean we look old now?
For our anniversary Ed's sister watched our boys... again... thanks Triska! and we went on a date. Originally we had planned to go on a cruise or other fun trip for our ten year but we decided to keep the money in the bank and do something here in town. We went out to eat and then went and stayed at a themed hotel room downtown. It was gorgeous. And guess what- yep, I forgot my camera. The room was so pretty if you want to see it go here. We stayed in the Rome room. When we arrived we had chilled sparkling cider and cheesecake to eat. There was a 8 foot projection t.v. that came down from the ceiling, there was a chromalighting tub (fancy name for jetted tub that has lots of different lights in it), and a huge steam shower room. It was such a gorgeous room. It was very elegant which is different than other times we have stayed at themed rooms. In the past we've done jungle type rooms so it was something different to not have the rain forest sounds and monkeys ooh ooh ahh ahhing over our heads. In the morning they brought us some juices, hot chocolate, cinnamon rolls, and fruit, granola and yogurt parfaits. It was such a relaxing fun night- and a bit cheaper than a cruise :)
Well we had a blast that night. And I am still completely in love with my hubby and can't wait to see what the next ten years brings us... I see visions of teenagers and consumption of tons of food since we have 3 boys, but it ought to be interesting anyway!

Finally!

I have just one word... dang COMPUTER! Okay, technically that's two words but sheesh! I know that we just can't live without computers but sometimes they cause more headaches than they are worth. My computer has been acting crazy lately; therefore, I have kind of dropped out of blogland for a while. Hopefully I'll be back now! I'm just working off a different computer. January and February is always our craziest time of the year. We have 4 birthdays, valentines day and our anniversary. And we always like to throw a sport for the kids in there too just to top it all off. Here's what has been keeping us so busy:

Ed got a new truck. It looks just like his other one except it's new. Hmm... go figure! He's ecstatic though so I'm happy if he's happy. If you look closely at his feet you can see he is wearing socks with the flip flops- what a fashion statement :) Love ya anyway hon!
Tegen turned nine. My baby turned NINE!!! I can't believe it! He's getting so big. This what we love about Tegen- he's so smart, he's funny, he keeps me on my toes, he's a great big brother, he's loving, he usually does what we ask of him without too much complaint. He's a joy to have in our family and we love him so much! They always get a room full of balloons on their birthday when they wake up- they still love it every year even though it's not a surprise!
The boy is absolutely obsessed with Guitar Hero... and yes- he can definitely kick my ummm... behind...


Look at that cheesy grin- how cute is he? We had pizza and cake and ice cream then took him down to Lava Hot Springs with a couple of his friends. He was in heaven. He takes after his mother and loves HOT water.


Four days after Tegen's birthday is Talen's. See why we are so busy? Talen is such a special little boy. Everyone in our family loves him to pieces. I don't know what we would do with out his little personality in our home. He cracks us up. Yesterday he told me "Mom, I'm sure glad you're my mom. You're the best mom ever. If I didn't have you to take care of me I would just have to live with my kids (his brothers) and that wouldn't be good. I would miss you." Ahhh... he melts my heart- seriously!


He has been begging for a camera and a scooter... Lucky him I guessed right when I went shopping. He loves them them!


We are mighty sick of cake and ice cream. Between my birthday on the 18th, Tegen's on the 31st, Talen's on the 3rd and my dad's on the 8th I really don't care if I ever see cake again.We decided to change things up a bit and go for cupcakes instead... oooh! What a change!



Even though we have been way busy I am thankful for it all. It means that I have a family to celebrate with! And there is honestly nothing more important to me than my family. I feel so blessed!
