First time riding Trax and the Temple lights.

temple lights 001

Brian’s Dad called us on Saturday and asked if we wanted to ride Trax downtown and see the lights. Since we had never been on trax and hadn't seen the lights in years we were excited to go.

Paislee was less than thrilled to get on a train. But she did end up liking it.

Happy Anniversary 13 years



Today I have been married to Brian for 13 years. He is my best friend and one of the best guys I know. It turns out we have raised some pretty great kids to. They treated us like our anniversary was a national holiday. Gotta love them.

When I woke up this morning Brady had put this note under my pillow. He made have spelled Brians name wrong but I will forgive him.




anniversary1




Brian was at work, but when I woke up this morning all 3 kids were at my bedside singing happy anniversary. First they gave me the picture above and then they gave me the breakfast in bed (below) that is shaped like their picture. It included last nights scone, chocolate chips and a no bake cookie. They also made me hot cocoa which was a little light on the cocoa a little heavy on the water but still it’s the thought that counts. I managed to eat the cookie and the chocolate chips and then quietly hide the rest until they left for school before I disposed of it.




anniversary




We ended our night with this song by the kids that krissa wrote (sorry its blurry) and dinner at Rodizio Grill. I even tried rattlesnake (tastes a lot like sausage). But my favorite by far was their pineapple. Happy Anniversary Brian I can’t wait for the next 60 years =)

Moss Monster

moss monster 001

Brady’s assignment was to make a monster. He got a little help from us but it mostly in the form of “Brady stop watching T.V. and focus”. haha

moss monster 002

I love how he says it tastes like cow poop covered in pumpkin soup. Apparently he really wasn’t  impressed with the pumpkin soup I made a year ago. Don’t worry Brady your not alone. I’m the only one in the family who ate it. haha
