Anniversary and more fun.

    Greg and I celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary last weekend and decided to splurge on a hotel and dinner up in Salt Lake. The hotel was great and we had a fun view of the valley from our 11th floor room but dinner was a bit 'overpriced' shall we say! Someone gave Greg a gift card to this very nice steakhouse in Salt Lake but it turns out it was really a bill for $176. The food was yummy and the service was exceptional but not worth the prices. Now we know and it was our first real dinner splurge in 24 years so at least we haven't made a habit of over priced meals in the last 24 years.

Yummy dessert, maybe we should have started and stopped with that.

    We did a little site-seeing and shopping.

    I wish you could appreciate how tiny these outfits are, especially the Guns N Roses outfit. It was a no-brainer purchase! I can't wait to see baby Wendel wear these cute clothes!

   On our way home from the hotel we stopped in to visit Mark and Marcus in their cool loft! They have quite the setup.

     We had Charlie take a commemorative photo of our 24 year anniversary.

     We also had fun playing with Belle's puppies this week. They are so adorable!! There's nothing like puppy snuggles!

Lucky kids!

    I've sure been enjoying having my fingernails painted on a regular basis and not worrying about chips or breaks for weeks at a time. This blue color is one of my favorites!

I don't know if this photo was edited but my arms look strange for some reason.

     I also took the four youngest and a couple bonus kids swimming at the Provo Rec. Center this week. It's by far their favorite swimming 'hole'. Everyone was big enough for all the slides, lazy river and general fun.

    And to end the week we get to have Smalls' best friend, Chloe, visit for a few days. She's big and adorable but also terribly naughty, she ate Greg's tinfoil dinner he had prepared for his campout! Obviously it's more Greg's fault for leaving it anywhere she could reach but still upsetting. Thankfully he had enough ingredients to remake his meal so he's not going to starve tonight while he's out camping at Strawberry with the Teachers quorum.

      We're sad to see summer cruising by so quickly but we still have several more activities to enjoy before it's over so here's to the coming week with cousins, car cruise and other fun stuff.
