HAPPY ANNIVERSAY!!!

Tom and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary on September 16th. Tom said he should of taken the thousand dollars his uncle offered and ran.(ha,ha) I can't believe we have been married this long. We went to dinner at the Roof in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building in Salt Lake City. It was very romantic and we had a great evening. It was a Tuesday night and we got a great table right by the window and had a great view of Angel Moroni on top of the Salt Lake Temple. The sun set while we were there. It was gorgeous! I started thinking while we were there about some of my favorite things. The things on this list our all from our evening in no particular order.

1-sunset

2-Salt Lake Temple(married)

3-Lion House dinner rolls with honey butter(I had two)

4-spending time with my Tommy

5-romance

6-great music

7-key lime pie
8-chocolate covered strawberries

9-carrot cake

10-eclair's

11-butter dinner mints

I know half the list was related to food, but they have alot of my favorite treats at the Roof. Anyway, we wanted to see a movie after dinner and went to Walmart instead. That's what happens when you've been married for 14 years! We missed the 8:00 show and it was a school/work night and I didn't want to take the kids to Walmart the next day. All in all it was a wonderful evening filled with favorites!

HELP!!

I need help blogging. I want a cute new background and I am inpatient to figure it out. Any tips would be wonderful. All of your blogs look so great! Thank you!!

Well my baby is now four years old and I'm freaking out. Cael's birthday was on August 27th. When I asked him what he wanted for his birthday he said, "a Lightning McQueen bat". At least it was a better answer than "I dunno know". Who knows if there is such a thing. I don't have time to search store after store. I knew he would be happy with anything to do with the Cars movie. I found him a little Lightning McQueen portable computer with fun games and a keyboard that he can learn on. I thought it would be the perfect present for him. He rarely plays with toys and is always asking if he can play a game. He knows how to play Sorry and Yahtzee and will finish a whole game. He loves it. Usually at that age they get sidetracked easily. Anyway the present was a hit and all of his siblings have been fighting over it. I'm sure the novelty of it will wear off soon as with everything. I decided to go with the whole "Cars" theme for his party. It is the first time I have ever bought a specialty cake. I thought what the heck it's my baby. We usually buy the big Costco cakes that are pre-decorated. It turned out really cute with Lightning McQueen (of course). Cael actually got two parties. One for each side of the family. He got new clothes, a "cars" flashlight, motorized cars, candy, ball and a plain black bat. He never said a word about it not being a Lightning McQueen bat. I knew he would be happy with anything. He had a fun birthday celebrating with all his cousins. He got to share one party with his cousin Tanner whose birthday is a few days after his. He really does look and act older. I think there is something about turning four. I'm ready for a new baby!
