This very special day, 

Come, find great joy and laughter 

A Birthday grand and gay. 

For here's the good news

This Birthday makes you Three Years Old. 

On June 8, 2012 Russ and I celebrated our 7th year anniversary. We stayed overnight at the Grand America Hotel in SLC. We took all the four kids with us and we had fun doing things together as a family.

We had dinner at Benihana. It was fun watching the chef cooking the food in front of us and it was more fun for the kids to watch. As picky as Andrew is, we're surprised that he ate the food he had .

After dinner we walked around Temple Square, the boys was very interested to know as I told them that Daddy and I were married in the Salt Lake Temple 7 years ago. They thought it was special to see the place where Mom and Dad got married.

Before we ended our day we did the carriage ride. The kids loved it especially our foster kids who is always fascinated with horses/pony.

After we checked out at the hotel we stopped by at  City Creek. We shopped a little and had lunch there.

A special new person who right from the start,
has a place in the family and a coarse in your heart.
And just when you think you've learned all the things,
that your dear son is,and the joy that he brings,
a hug or a grin comes with such a sweet surprise,
that love finds you smiling with tears in your eyes.

Last Saturday was really nice. First time to have a weather of over 90°F . We took advantage of it and went to Willard Bay. The kids had fun playing in the sand..

When we got home we let them run around the backyard and turned the sprinklers on. They had a blast!
