What a way to celebrate 33 years!

We left for Denver after Richard got home from work at 6:00 pm!  Crazy kids!  So we arrived about 3:00 am on our anniversary!
We slept in and came upstairs to find these darling grandkids eating breakfast!


Tessa adores her brother and he usually loves her attention unless the hugs knock him down or are just a little too tight!

Although he isn't walking yet he stands and pushes this around well.

Sophie wanted to take my picture. 

Sophie and Tessa have great imaginations this is them playing "boat" in their swimming pool.

Sophie ready for Kindergarten.

Dinosaur cheese sandwiches for lunch.

Jess is such a good mom!  She also insists on a fruit or veggie with every meal.

Such cute girls!

I snuck into Sophie's kindergarten class for this shot, but was in too big of a hurry to focus!

Ready for the walk back home!

Dan and Jess both at work!
This is the scaffolding platform Richard put together.


Sophie tired out after school.

We got the guys to take a break to go to Cheddar's for dinner!  You have to go out on your anniversary!

Sophie enjoying the fish.

Tessa after falling on her bike.

Jacob on his little trike.

Okay the worst window... it doesn't look too bad from inside, but...

from the back patio it looks a little scarier...

And from the ground its even scarier!

Saturday, the girls were invited to a Pirate Birthday party at a cool park.  They made these awesome pirate hats...

and played in the splash pad.  Jacob loved the splash pad!

So did Tessa.

Sophie mostly enjoyed making a new friend there.

Pirating was so much fun that they came home and watched Peter Pan.  Then Sophie decided she needed a sword to go with her pirate costume, so her awesome mom made swords out of cardboard for Sophie, Tessa, and a neighbor boy.
One of my favorite anniversaries!

33 years!


On August 24th 33 years ago.  Richard and I were married in the Manti Temple.
 We honeymooned at Bear Lake.


We had a kid.


And another one.

Then another one.

More and more until we ended up with these 7.
 






We sent some on missions.

We married some off.
 And had a few grandkids.

We are all going to be together again in September!  We'll get a new picture with the 5 kids born since this picture and Joni! 
Its been a fun ride.  Thanks for the journey Richard!

Very wee very fit

Elliott does all of the Wii Fit Plus exercises with me on Monday and Wednesday mornings. She's walking on the tightrope here.

She does some sweet moves and until now I've always wished I could take pictures while I exercised, but today Jonathan was laying on the floor watching and got a few shots for me.

I must have just told her she did a good job on this one.

She's starting finding her own balance boards to workout on.

Today it was Grandpa's scriptures. Exercising is so much fun on Monday and Wednesday mornings!!
