June 24 was mine and Chris' 5 year
ANNIVERSARY!!! I can't believe how fast it's gone and how fast it will continue to go. A lot has happened in the last 5 years. Some of the highlights are: we both graduated college at BYU-Idaho, we had 2 amazing boys come into our family who keep our lives entertaining and fun, and have moved 4 times, with no end in sight of moving around the country with Chris' job.
We kept our anniversary this year pretty low-key, mainly because it was on a Friday and Chris had to work that day and really early the following day, so we had his brother Greg babysit for us and we went out to dinner to Olive Garden (love this place!), went to Sam's Club to pick up a bunch of water for work (yeah I know, exciting right! haha But the closest Sam's is like 35 miles away, so we just decided to kill two birds with one stone!), then we went to Target and walked around, looked at strollers since we decided our gift this year was going to be a double stroller for the boys. I am really tired of having to try and keep taps on Parker when going anywhere! We actually found one that was on sale, it was a jogging stroller that someone bought online and then returned it. We had never really considered jogging strollers, but since it was on sale were snatched it up! However, once we got it home and unpacked it we realized why we have never considered them...they are sooo bulky and it didn't fold up very easily!! Definitely wouldn't work very well at airports or fit very easily in the trunk of a car or travel around with us very easily, so we too took it back to the store and our search continues! After Target we headed over to Academy Sports to look at Kickboxing gloves for me (I went to a class with a friend at the YMCA and absolutely LOVED it, so I wanted my own gloves to use when I go again, because I will be!). After that we headed home.
I know not that exciting of a night, especially when most people consider 5 years one of those anniversaries that you go all out on and go on a trip or at least do something bigger than in previous years, but it was a nice and fun night just the same. It was nice to be able to go out to dinner and walk around the stores without the boys screaming and yelling and to be able to actually get through a conversation without being interrupted!! Thank's again Greg for watching the boys, you're awesome!!!
It has been an amazing 5 years and I look forward to the next 5 and the rest of eternity with you! I love you Chris, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!
On Saturday, July 16, we invited our friends (Hadsall Family and Walker Family) and Chris' brother Greg to come with us to Pelican Bay Aquatic Park. Both families hadn't ever been there so it was fun that they were able to go. We had a blast and everyone was worn out afterwards. I realized today that every time we go to this park I take pictures, but always in the same area. I haven't really gotten any pictures of them playing anywhere else...oh well they are still cute!
When we were tired from the pool we had everyone come over to our apartment for Pizza, Cake and Presents. After Tyler went to bed the adults played a game while the kids kept playing quietly in the next room. It was a fun-filled day!!
