Sonic Tradition

Our family has a pretty profound tradition--Sonic after our church youth night. Either Chad and I have been involved with the youth in our ward ever since we were first married. We always have to drag the kids with us, so we make it fun by hitting Sonic on the way home. Every Tuesday morning, Jace KNOWS and makes sure to remind me that we get to go to Sonic that night. Jace-- "n-uh-mems ice cream and a diet cher-lee liamaid for mom". Just had to put this one on the books ;)

Brenna's Fancy Bday Party

My little girl is just about 2 years old!! We celebrated her party while Grandma Sandi was in town. Brenna is all girl- loves bows, hats, frilly dresses, makeup, necklaces. So we had a "fancy" party with our extended family-Bryce's family, the Burgons, and adopted Aunt Amanda.

Best money I ever spend- had the most incredible pictures taken in Dallas http://www.fablesphotoart.com/

My "sister" Vivian Burgon made this cake- she is a genius in the kitchen. Thank you viv!!!!

Happy 7 Years!

So I have the best husband ever! He flew down his mother to take the kids so he could suprise me for our anniversary. 7 whole years!!! woo hoo!! I thought we were going to SC to a golf resort but nooooo- my romantic husband wisked me off to New York City. I was a little mortified that I brought my comfy lounging clothes to walk around the most stylish city in the world. However it was so cold that we put on every piece of clothing we had. We mostly ate and walked and people watched. The highlight was the amaing Philharmonic concert- incredible Mozart concertos- flawless. Just had such a great time with my best friend. Thank you Chad!!

Happy Valentine's Day! This is what Jace picked out for all of us girls.

Smooch in time square

Bobby Flay's food- shrimp and grits, crab cakes, and his fries were to DIE for
