August 2018

Andy and I celebrated 8 years of marriage!  I love him and I love our family!  Andy has been everything I wanted and more.  We went out as a family the a few days before to The Roof.  It was so fancy and delicious!  The kids were so good! Andy and I also went to Lagoon for the day and had a great time!  Andy's mom was so nice to watch all 3 kids while we were there.

We had fun at parks, the girls played outside as much as possible and Penny was potty trained and celebrated by riding a train!

All 3 out cold

Celebratory train ride!

Ellie turned 7 and wanted to celebrate with mini golf, and Red Robin.  She is such a special, smart girl.  She is so patient and kind to her brother and sister, and so considerate of those around her.  We love her!

She wanted skeleton pj's

Andy's 29th Birthday!

My amazing husband and wonderful father to our sweet kids turned 29!  We spent the whole pampering him, he deserves it!  It works so hard for our family and we love him so much!

We went out for breakfast, the pumpkin patch, went swimming, went out for dinner and ended the night watching Stranger Things after the kids went to bed.

Heres to another year honey!

Fathers Day

We love Andy so much, he is so amazing, such a hard worker, and so supportive.

When we first dating we went on a drive and I opened up to him about how my main goal in life was to be a stay at home mom.  He thought that was amazing and through his hard work and dedication he has made it possible for me to be home with our children.

He works 40 hours a week and then an additional 30+ at the studio.  He some how still makes time for us.

On Fathers Day we made him breakfast in bed and after church a steak dinner.  He decided that he wanted to roam around downtown.  We looked around at the Convention Center, and watched the last few minutes of the NBA final in a hotel lobby.  We don't watch basketball but it was still exciting to see.

We love him!

5th Anniversary

We had our 5th wedding anniversary on August 6th.  It ended up being an all weekend celebration.

On our actual anniversary Andy and I went out to dinner in Salt Lake and walked around City Creek. We love Ellie, but it was so nice to go out to dinner alone.

The next day we went with Ellie and hiked to the Timpanogos caves.  Ellie was a trooper all the way up and we all loved the caves.  It was so amazing to see what is inside the mountain.

On Saturday Andy and I went out one last time and saw Mission Impossible 5.

I love Andy so much.  He really is my soul mate and my best friend.  He understands me and accepts me like no one else.  He is a wonderful father, and I am so grateful that Ellie, Thomas and Penny have him as their Daddy.

Andy's Birthday and Monster Block Party

We celebrated Andy's 27th birthday!  He had to work during the day but we went to Olive Garden for dinner, and he got  a slice of cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory for dessert.

This was a few days before his birthday

Our server at Olive Garden brought him out a mint with a candle

So many choices

In Salt Lake there was a big Halloween festival and we had a blast!  We got there at the perfect time because they were doing the pumpkin drop.

They also had trick or treating, games, and free pony rides.

Bonding with Lil Sebastian

Cinderella luckily didn't loose her glass slipper running down the stairs

Then we went to the Disney store and they greeted Ellie like she was actually Cinderella, which she loved.

Olaf likes warm hugs

We really love City Creek, a outdoor mall downtown, and we walked around for a little bit.
