5 Years

We've been married 5 years.  Isn't that crazy?  I can't believe it's been 5 years and I can't believe everything that has happened in the last 5 years.  Hard times, fun times, stressful times and amazing, great, loving times, I'm still loving our life that we have together.

To celebrate our anniversary, we decided to take a weekend trip to St. George.  Even though we go there a lot it ended up being perfect.  I just wanted to go somewhere a little warmer and somewhere I could relax.  I made sure to book a hotel I knew had a comfortable bed, checked out a good book from the library and I was set.

We didn't do a whole lot.  We slept in each morning, ate breakfast, went shopping, saw 2 movies, took a nap each day, read my book and just relaxed.  It was a nice break to just eat out wherever we wanted without having to also feed 2 toddlers.  I could just focus on eating a hot meal and not getting interupted.

Even though it was the coolest weekend of the month there it was still sunny and warm enough that we went on a hike one afternoon.  It was fun to just get out and enjoy outdoors again.  We took 2 pictures the entire weekend.

5 Years!
 17 Weeks Pregnant!

My sister again excitedly offered to watch the girls for us.  So we took her up on 3 nights this time!  They did great, as I knew they would since they love Jennifer and she always spoils them.  She made them food she knew they would like and they had a blast running around her house, took them to get ice cream and they always love petting her dog Milo.  We of course missed them a lot but we got lots of texts on what they were doing, pictures of some funny moments and even face timed them once.

It ended up being a perfect, relaxing weekend and although we would've liked to have gone somewhere more exotic it ended being just what we needed, a nice get away where we didn't feel rushed to go out and do things and could just relax with each other.

Here are some random pictures we got via text about the girls.  We also got some video that I'm not posting, a funny one of Aria petting Milo and then he stands up, and watching Aria's face realize that he's a lot bigger than her is pretty funny.  Milo is so calm and good with them to let them pet him all the time.

Uh...they did NOT like Jennifer's big bathtub...I think they were just overly tired but seriously love this picture.
 Ice Cream...with Cousin Cameron
 Siena refused to look at Jennifer this morning becaues Jennifer had washed her hair and had a towel on her head.  She wasn't crying, she just wouldn't look at her.
 Being so helpful...loading plastic forks from her drawer into the dishwasher.
 Thanks Jennifer for making our weekend so enjoyable.  I never worried once about them!


Here's to the next 5 years and many more after that!
