5 Year Anniversary
So I know this was a while ago, but Eli and I had our 5 year anniversary on August 14th 2009. I had thought we decided not to get gifts this year and of course Eli goes back on his word and brings out a little red bag. The tag say, "Hey, I know you have been needing a jewelry box, hope this helps to 'tackle' your problem. So I'm thinking he gave me a tackle box to organize my jewelry, which I was right. I was just fine with that too, but apparently that was the joke. He then brought out a bigger box. It was a picture frame jewelry box. I LOVE IT!!! Honestly, I cried! Here are some pics. ( I haven't put any pictures in yet, but I am so excited!)
I love you E! Thanks for the gift!
Boating
The Saturday after our anniversary, we were invited by some friends in our ward to go boating for the day (no kids invited... a great anniversary)! So we dropped the kids off at Mandy's that morning (Thanks again Mandy!) and we headed out to Bartlett Reservoir. Our crew: Devon and Jessica, Abe and Meagan, Stephan and Tenille, John and Julie, Eli and Cori, and Paul. We had such a great time chatting, eating, wake boarding, surfing and swimming. Devon parents were so generous to let us all borrow their boat, which was amazing!
Here is the slide show of the fun day we had!
Dance Lessons
Indi is continuing to love her dance lessons. My friend's daughter takes dance lessons as well and got some cute pictures.
Enrichment Night- "There's No Place Like Home"
We had our quarterly enrichment activity in August, it was the Wizard of Oz theme. The decorations turned out so cute. Twelve themed tables, with a get-to-know-you game. We had speakers talk about Knowledge (Scarecrow), Heart/Love (Tin man), and Courage (Lion). Our tag line was, "Come follow the yellow brick road and learn more about knowledge, loving others and having courage to reach your eternal destination, the Emerald City." Here are some pictures of the decorations.
Painting Nails
Indi and I had some girl time when Isaiah was taking a nap. We got ready for the day, fixed hair, and painted toenails. Indi loved it. Here is a picture of her fingers and toes.
Curtains
My mom has been working on some curtains for the kids' room and we just received the package yesterday. They turned out GREAT! We were trying to make them fit for a boy and a girl... the green is for Isaiah, and the lighter color has green and a little pink for Indi. (Thanks again Mom, you did an amazing job!) Now I just have to finish their room... eventually :) Here are some pics of the curtains.
Twilight Necklace
Yeah, I entered a contest online and I WON!! I got this cute twilight necklace! I never win any kind of contests so this was fun... here it is!
