10 year anniversary "Staycation"

I can not believe I have been married 10 years....a whole decade.  Man when did I get so old.  I am one lucky lady to be married to my best friend.  He is someone who still makes me laugh and I truly enjoy to be around.  This year we kept it low key since we have 5 kids and live on a law school student budget.  G Ma took the kids Thursday morning until Saturday night.  It was so nice to be reminded of what it is like to a couple and only have us to worry about. I love my kids and wouldn't change my life for anything but it is nice to have a break every now and again.  We didn't do a whole and it was so relaxing.  We shopped, saw the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, went to the "O" show at Bellagio, and stayed up late watching movies in bed.  

I had to take a picture of Trev eating in bed....

Waiting for our Cappriottis

It is crazy to look back on the last 10 years and see how much we have gone through and how much our life has changed. I am excited for the next 10 years and all that it brings.  I love my man!!!

Aidan's 7th Bday

My baby boy is no longer a baby.  Aidan turned 7 years old. 

His new favorite thing is Poke Man so Trev made him a poke ball cake.

He got money, a harry potter wii game, and some skylanders.

He had a friend bday swimming party this year at Andreas.  Here he is with he best buds.

I am grateful to be his mommy and love watching him grow up and see the wonderful boy he is becoming.

Water Relay FHE

We did a water relay activity for one of combined YM and YW activity over the summer and it was a lot of fun.  My kids saw all the supplies sitting my my garage and wanted to do it so we invited a couple of families and made it our FHE night.  My kids had a blast.  There were over 25 kids so it was a little crazy but so worth it.

We did spongehead, water balloon catch, water face, bobbing for balloons, and a water balloon fight.  We then enjoyed dessert while the kids played.  It was a huge success and probably the start of a yearly family tradition.

Michelle Day

One of my really good friends moved away last summer but has been able to come back and visit a couple of times.  I miss her a ton and have so much fun when she visits.  Trev calls her princess because whenever she comes back I clear my schedule and fill it with hanging with her.  We even have a day called "Michelle day" where we have a day planned to hang from morning to night with no kids or husbands.  

This time we met at Michelle's dads house and swam and hung out all afternoon.  We then got ready and went and ate at the Cheesecake Factory.  Afterwards we went shopping looking for skinny jeans for Mindy.  We then went back to her dads and watched a movie.  

It is hard to find those good friends you can be yourself around and she is definitely one of them.  She just found out she is having twins boys (her 5th and 6th boys), which makes me even more sad she isn't here.  I can't wait for our next Michelle Day!!!!
