Water babies



We had yet another great week! This one was by far the best. Chad and I celebrated our 5 year wedding Anniversary on Tuesday June 19Th. Our Moms were so nice! They helped us out by watching the kids, while we stayed overnight at The Anniversary Inn. We stayed in the Romeo and Juliet Suite. The same Suite we stayed in on our wedding night. I wont go into details but it was very romantic. We had dinner that night at The Garden Restaurant and we had an amazing view from our table right by the windows...It was GREAT! The next day we walked around Memory grove (Where Chad proposed) and reminisced about that life changing night. We took in 2 movies (oceans 13, and knocked up)and went to lunch at Chads favorite-The Olive Garden. We had a great time. It was nice to get home and see the kids but it was so nice to have that time with just the two of us!! Chad was able to stay home with me and the kids all week. We took the kids down to Gateway and let them play in the fountains...They had so much fun, and although I wasn't planning on it, I got more soaked than Austin. Alyssa was all for it and was trying to make friends with the other kids. Austin liked observing from the stroller, but then he got more comfortable and joined in. Saturday we went to The Dutch Store with Grandpa Spencer. Chad got some Licorice Bread (Yuck!) and some Stroop waffles (Yum!) Then we went to the Hard Rock Cafe and picked up the souvenir shot glasses and pins (Chad is now collecting from all the Hard Rock Cafes he goes too). Then we went to Chuck a Rama to visit Grandma Rose at work. And what a small world, we saw the Escalante Basketball team there. That night we went over to G & G Green's house for Nick's birthday dinner. The kids played on the Trampoline, or as Austin says "the trampotrine" and Grandma watched the kids while all of us kids (Nick, Kim, Chad and I, Casey and D) went and saw a movie. (3 movies in a week is unheard of for people with kids--we're very lucky) Then today at Church Austin said "I can do this by myself" and walked in to nursery all by himself. We were SO proud! Now we just have to wait until October for Alyssa to go to Nursery. We hope you all had a great week, and an even greater week to come!! Love to you all!
