Happy Happy Hollow

Today was our second trip to Happy Hollow this week.  On Monday we went with my sister and her kiddos and today we went with my mom, Coyo, and two of her sons (Adrian and Damian).

I love that the kids love going and I am not looking forward to the day that they outgrow it. 

The big obstacle we over came today was getting Lincoln on the swings.  It was never because he didn't want to get on them, it was because the employees haven't thought he was tall enough.  He always seemed plenty tall next to the entrance but the stick the employees use seems just enough taller to make a difference.  I felt like the worst mom ever having him go up and check because he would always start crying when they said no.  Well, today the guy running the ride let him on.  Yes!  He was so excited!

Our Sixth Anniversary

I can not believe that Dave and I have been married for six years.  It really doesn't seem like it has been that long.

I feel extremely lucky to have Dave in my life.  He is wonderful and full of all those qualities one would look for in a husband.  Kind and loving, patient and understanding, handsome and funny.  How he puts up with me and all my quirks I will never know.

He is an awesome father too.  Payton and Lincoln absolutely love him to pieces.  Everyday when he gets home and walks through the door, the kids get huge smiles on their faces, run up to him yelling, "Daddy!", and give him the biggest hugs.  I know he has to be exhausted from working all day and then commuting home but to look at him you would never know it.  He walks in and does everything he can with Payton and Lincoln until it is time for them to go to bed.

Dave, thank you for making these last six years so wonderful and for loving me so completely.

I love you!

Shopping for Maternity Clothes

It looks like Lincoln may be a gymnast.  Ha!  Ha!

I took the kids shopping for maternity clothes with me.  They were all over the place in the changing room while I was trying on clothes.  I had a pair of shorts halfway on when I looked up and saw Lincoln doing this.

What's more impressive is that he held it while I said, "Wait! Wait!" and pulled my phone out to take a picture.  :o)

Our Anniversary Date

Dave and I have never really done anything for our Anniversary.

Oh yes, there was the year we helped my sister and her husband re texture and paint the ceilings in their new town home.  Then there was the year we built a deck in our backyard.  Oh and we can't forget the year I was recovering from a C-Section.  Very exciting stuff.  :o)

This year we decided to take Michelle up on her offer to watch the kiddos so that we could go out.

We decided to go to Willow Street Pizza for dinner (where we went on our first date).  Everything worked out perfectly, there was a huge line of people out waiting for tables but since there were only two of us we got a table right away.  What's even cooler is that we sat at the same table we did on our first date.

After dinner we went to the movies and saw The Avengers.  We both really liked the movie. 

It probably sounds like a simple evening but it was so nice to get out and spend some time together.

Park Play Date

We tried out a new park for play group.  Payton and Lincoln loved it!  They played and played.  Ran around in the sun with their friends for over three hours. 

By the time I got home I figured it was too late for them to take a nap so I gave them a bath and put in a movie.  I walked into the room about 15 minutes after the movie started and this is what I found.  So cute!
