Anniversary

So out 9th Anniversary is coming up on the 16th of next month and I cannot decide what we should do. We didn't have a babysitter for 2 1/2 years while we were in Hawaii, so Matt's mom has offered to babysit for us.(Yay!!) So I am looking for fun ideas for us. I have thought about Las Vegas, Moab, Park City. I love going to new places too. I love going out of state. Any ideas?


+++++Update+++++++++
My babysitter changed her mind about babysitting! Ha Ha! I still like her:)
So now we are going down to Bryce Canyon as a family! It's all good. We will have alot of fun.
Thanks for all the ideas!!

Flashback Friday

Here are some REALLY old pics of Matt and I ( hence the overalls I am wearing!). This is back when we were engaged. We went fishing with Matt's friend's Jason and Clair and my friend Rainee. We had so much fun hanging out. I remember how much "In Love" I was with him then and I think it is so crazy that I could actually love him even more now! I couldn't have imagined that I would marry such a perfect guy for me! I am so in love with this man!

Tonsil Tuesday

Oakley and Taylor went to Primary Children's Hospital on Tuesday and got their adnoids and tonsils out. They were so brave! We bought special p.j's to wear. They had fun playing with the toys while they were waiting, and the nurses were so nice to them. Oakley went first and she got the loopy medicine before going in. She just looked really tired and sat on my lap. Taylor went in 1/2 hour later. She also had the loopy medicine and she was so funny. She was making funny jokes, she kept closing her eyes while she was talking, and she said some sentences that made no sense at all! They did good in the recovery room. They mostly complained about the I.V. in their hands. They were able to drink root beer and fruit punch slushees (Tay couldn't keep hers down though). While the anesthesia was wearing off, Taylor kept asking the same question over and over "Do I get to go in a Wheelchair?" I don't know why she was so obsessed, but they got to go out in a wheelchair! They are doing really great today. I have to keep reminding them that they had surgery and they need to take it easy!

Oakley starts Dance!

My girls started dance this week! It was so fun to see Oakley all excited to go. Oakley is taking jazz/ballet and tumbling. Taylor is taking Hip Hop and Tumbling. They are going to do a Halloween Performance this year! I can't wait.

Neighborhood BBQ

Tonight was our neighbor Steve's 40th birthday. His wife Lisa threw a big suprise BBQ party for him and it was so much fun. I love our neighborhood. The kids ran around from house to house playing and coming back over to eat. We played water balloon toss, had a pinata, and ate and ate. To me this is how life should be. Friends talking story all night long, kids playing with the whole neighborhood to watch them. Doesn't get much better than this:)

I love my dogs

I always wanted a dog. Growing up we had one named Muffy and she was great. When I was in Jr. High we had to get rid of her. She was sleeping under the couch, I stuck my hand under to pet her and she bit me. That was it. My dad got rid of her. I was so sad after that! So throughout my marriage I have made my husband get us dogs. Yes it is plural. We have had a few. We made a few mistakes with a couple. One I bought and thought it was a small dog. (We lived in a condo)

I took it home and my husband said "Look at it's paws! They are Huge!!" So that dog was gone. Anyways I think I have it right this time. We have Lily who is a Pekingese and Bella who is a shiffon. They are so much fun! Here is a pic with them sleeping together. Lily has come along way to let Bella in her bed. Also notice the things Bella has collected: My daughter's underwear, a naked Barbie, and my other daughter's p.j. bottoms. Crazy dog!!
