Happy 13th Anniversary to Us!


As Mike and I were celebrating our anniversary last night, I'm not going to lie, we mostly talked about the kids. But that's okay. They are a big part of who we have been these last 13 years. 

 Speaking of 13, you'd think, by looking at this picture of the lovely Lucy, that she is a teenager. Don't be fooled, she's only 12, and I'm hanging onto her childhood with both hands!!! Stop growing up already!! This beautiful girl was only a dream in our hearts 13 years ago!!! Mike wanted to wait a year to have kids, I wanted to wait one week...we waited a month :)  Two months before our first anniversary, we became parents. What crazy years it's been since then. 
 I've been daydreaiming about our 10 year anniversary trip to New York a lot lately. We weren't able to travel to exotic places this year, but we did manage to still sneak in a "first": first time eating Basque food!!! YES!!
 On Veteran's Day, we celebrated by taking the kids to the candy store. I am such a sucker for this place!!! Two weeks after Halloween, cotton candy? SURE!!...
 $12 for a gummy pizza? SURE!! Mom of the Year Award goes to THIS gal.
Okay, maybe not, but DAD of the year goes to this guy for sure. He has been redoubling his intentions of making time for the kids, and it has been so great. He has been walking with Lucy in the freezing, dark AM 3 times a week. He wakes up to study scriptures with them EVERYDAY. They will never doubt that their Dad loves them. This is the annual Dad's and Donuts that the elementary school puts on. He doesn't eat them, but he comes to be with them anyway :)

 It wouldn't be officially Autumn without one of these shots...right?

 Happy 13 Years to Us!!!!
