Happy Anniversary!

Jeff and I celebrated our 6th Anniversary this weekend (October 26th). We actually got to get away for the whole night. We haven't been able to do that for an anniversary since before we had kids. Being away from family for 4 years stopped that. My sweet mom watched our girls for us. The girls LOVE going to her house and we LOVED getting the break so it works out perfect. I am not sure how much sleep my mom actually got ( we don't have the best sleepers) but we are thankful she watched them. So on Friday Jeff and I went to the temple, went out to eat, and stayed at a hotel in Chandler. We even watched a movie (the newest Harry Potter) at the hotel. I don't know the last time we got to see a somewhat recent movie together. I guess it is not really recent, but the point is we got to watch a movie in peace with no kids screaming (nightmares/terrors) or having to turn volume down so we wouldn't wake anyone up. We even got to sleep in the next morning which hasn't happened in years! So it was a wonderful anniversary. I have a wonderful husband who I am extremely thankful for. Jeff is so helpful around the house and with the girls. He makes me laugh everyday and always makes me feel loved. I look forward to the many years ahead! Sorry no pics. We forgot our camera and we are bad at asking people to take them of us anyway. So you can imagine our smiling faces :)

An Exciting Day in Casa Grande!!!

Just wanted to announce that Macayo's Restaurant is opening today in Casa Grande! I am a huge fan, but I don't think I will be able to drag my family there today since it will be beyond packed. Maybe Jeff and I can escape some evening this week to go even though that is extremely unlikely:) Anyone who comes to Casa Grande, make sure you stop and eat here. I have highly considered getting a job there just to make sure it stays. (We won't discuss the problem with places staying in Casa Grande) Anyway, I am one happy lady just that it is here- maybe we can get some take out today. I am drooling already. I hope everyone has a great Labor Day- our plans are on hold since Jeff is now leaving to go into the office to fix someone's front teeth bridge. That call came at 7:30 this morning. We will see how many more phone calls come in. Last weekend we got three. The other doc is smart and goes out of town. When we get some more money we will have to do this! Jeff's assistant said they rarely get emergencies, but we are on a roll. Well, that is that!

Wow- look what I can do!

Just wanted to test out writing a post with our other computer. It is Jeff's which he takes to work. so it is not home often, but I asked him to bring it home for this very purpose. I have realized there is so much more to blogging than on an our Apple. I found this out because I was reading my friends Michelle's blog and she sometimes does fun things with her text like this and I asked how she did it. She told me she had the edit tools in her post box and I had no idea what she was talking about until now. With this computer I can now change colors, make the text bigger or smaller, insert a video right from this box, check my spelling easily, insert a link, etc. etc. I do not see all these little buttons with my Mac. Does anyone know the reason? Heath?? I have found there are many things/other websites that I have trouble with on the Mac, but not with Jeff''s. So anyway, just wanted to try it out. Maybe I will talk Jeff into trading computers again, but the Mac is faster all together, and lighter. This laptop is a beast! All those in our dental school group know what I am talking about. I will have to try to post some pictures from this computer later!

Mayan Ruins

Here is a little slideshow of our Mayan Ruin tour in Progreso, Mexico. It was neat to see, but extremely hot and humid. Luckily there was a little swimming area to cool off in. Thanks to our friends for sharing their pictures too. Enjoy!

Snorkeling in Cozumel

Hanging with the fishes-
We went snorkeling in Cozumel, Mexico.
We really enjoyed the water,
it was the perfect temperature and
amazingly clear.

Awards Dinner

Awards Dinner

Here are some pictures from an awards dinner we went to the night before graduation. It was the first night all of our friends were able to get together without all our kids in four years! We enjoyed a nice dinner and Jeff even got a leadership award. Just click on the photo of us to see all the pictures.

Easter

We had a nice Easter get together with our friends. We found out 2 year olds are not the best egg dyers, but it was fun anyway. We had to have the hunt in the house because it was snowy that weekend, the kids didn't seem to mind as long as they got the candy eggs!

All the Girls

I finally make my debut on our blogspot with our girls. Hayley of course shows her true personality- she is such a silly toddler. I love my girls!
