11 Years!!

Friday January 28th was our 11 year anniversary. Wow! I can't believe it's been that long... I guess time really does go faster when you are having fun. He is so much fun to be with. He makes me laugh every single day, and more importantly at myself! He is such a good Dad. I love that he puts Gk down to sleep at night so I can have some time to myself. I really am so lucky to have him! I still feel marrying Patrick was the best choice I ever made.

Friday was such a nice day the kids and I wen

t to the park. It was so nice to get outside. (I definitley have the summer time blues.) Gk & Bentley both loved getting some fresh air and getting our wiggles out at the park. Gk loved the slide and Bentley got to try out the swing!

I thought Patrick was going to be working on a side job that night but he surprised me with dinner at Market Street. The food was so good and it was so nice to have Patrick all to myself for a couple of hours.

So Patrick had to do his side job on Saturday, the kids and I went to the zoo. It was a blast! A little cold and we didn't last a real long time but it was fun to go out and play some more.

Mo' Bettah, a Play Date, & Bath time!

Patrick is now totally hooked on Mo' Bettah Steaks. He Loves that Hawaiian food.

We had a play date with Jennah and we just love her to pieces. It was so fun to have her over for a little bit. Bentley just can't get enough of her every time they are together she tries to attack her which is so cute and a little scary!

I like to put both the kids in the bath together but not this time... Gk didn't pee but we got some new bubble bath that changes the water fun colors. GK is a huge fan.

And Bentley LOVES the water. Jenn and Lyndsey and I took all the kids swimming and I need to post those pictures, we all had SO much fun!

Lucky 7

I really can't believe that Bentley is 7 whole months old! She is such a fun girl. I am so amazed at what a happy baby she is... for the most part. I know she is a little bit of a Mamma's girl but I am working on that. I just LoVe those big blue eyes. She will almost sleep through the night. Usually she wakes up once around 4:30. Her favorite person is definitely Gk. She loves him like crazy. She Loves food, especially ice-cream. She really likes to stand up. She likes tummy time too. She is really good at moving around, she gets to where SHE wants to go. We are just so happy to have her!

Our Princesses

Patrick had his 33rd birthday this week. He is an old man now! But he still has a few more good years in him. We loved being so close to him to bug him all day. Birthdays are not just another day! We decorated the house and put a sign up at his work. We even went to work with him for a little bit. For dinner we had G-ma & G-pa watch the kids so we could go to Mo' Bettah Steaks. That place is so yummy and I don't even eat meat!

I just had to put these pictures in of my "Little Princess" (Patrick is the Big Princess) She is just growing up so fast. These blue eyes just melt my heart.

Tools & Art

Gk works so hard. He has been into Handy Manny & Bob the Builder. So He'd been really good and we were at Target so we got him some tools. He was in heaven.

The very same day Patrick got him a set of real tools but we waited to give them to him since he was happy with his play set. He is obsessed with his see-saw and screw driver. He's dented the railing already and I'm sure it's only the beginnig.

For Family Home Evening we had a lesson on Moms so I had them draw me a picture. Since Bentley eats everything I thought we should use something edible so we made some pudding. Bentley had SO much fun. I'm sure she ate more than what's good for her but it was so much fun. Gk wasn't into it as much as I thought he would be.. he was kinda tired though. So Patrick got some whipping cream and helped Gk get into it more.

A New Cousin!

We are so excited for Benton & Dyllan to get their new little brother. It is so fun to see the family grow more. Benton will be the best big brother and I'm excited Bentley will have someone close to her age. Lyndsey is due on June 19! She is just the cutest little pregnant girl!

We needed to get out of the house and decided to head to the Aquarium. I really like going there but GK doesn't last too long. I think it's too temping to run amuck with it being so open and all the big kids everywhere. I always drag him out kicking and screaming. I like going there and I'm sure we'll go bacj but I think I need some reinforcement.

The End of a Great Year!

I really wanted to see the lights @ Temple Square but Patrick really doesn't like the crowd, so I suggested we go after Christmas! I thought this was a really good idea because who else would go?! Umm... a lot of people! It was Super crowded. It was pretty cold too but I loved every bit. Gk loves Temples and it was fun to get up close. I still need to take him to temple square during the day but I might wait until it warms up a bit.

My Mom's birthday is on New Years Eve. One of my brothers and one of my sisters were in town so we had a little party for her. She is an amazing mom and I am so jealous of her birthday. We watched Despicable Me and ate lots and lots of food. Then we had some more family and friends come over for some New Years Eve fun. It was pretty crazy here we had a shoot off with Nerf guns where you had to shoot a tortilla chip, then the winners went on the a cracker, It was really hard. We played a good game of Greed. Put together a puzzle and the finale was a ton of fire works! I think some of the neighbors may have enjoyed them more than us because they could see them from inside their house. It was like 2 degrees outside. But Gk is still talking about those fireworks! (Thanks Brandon =>)

On New Years Day we really didn't do a lot. But we had to get the kids together to sport their shirts we made. They were so tired the night before. I can't believe how much they are all growing up. This is going to be a great year!
