10 Wonderful Years

On June 29th we celebrated our 10th anniversary. We went to dinner on the 26th to Sostanza here in town and it was GREAT!!! We had crab cakes, Combino Salad (candied pecans, dried cranberries, roman lettuce and a yummy vinaigrette dressing), I had Chicken Penne and Louis had Linguine with Lump Crab and then we had dessert.....I have strawberry cheesecake and Louis had truffles with raspberry sauce and some sort of sorbet. We LOVED it and are already planning our next trip back. I gave Louis a Titanium wedding band, Dirty Dancing DVD and Star Trek The Next Generation Season 1 DVD set. He is going to fix my wedding band or get a new one...we have not decided yet on that one.
It has been a wonderful 10 years sharing it with him. We have a beautiful marriage and two beautiful girls to be thankful for. 10 years is bringing a lot of change but change can be good. Thank you Louis for being my husband, my friend and my partner in life. I love you all that way to the moon and back.

Elizabeth 9 months

So, my baby girl is 9 months now...well actually on the 16th but she had her check-up. She weighs 16lbs 8ozs and it 27.5 inches tall. She can sit, crawl (army crawl), walk holding onto my fingers, stand up holding onto furniture and she says Dada. I try to get her to say Mama and she just laughs. She loves it when I have her point to my eyes, nose and mouth. She eats no baby food and if I would let her she would eat a whole peanut and butter sandwich. She eats a banana, one egg, 1 slice of toast and nurses for breakfast. She is a piggy like her sister but not a weight gainer. She is so fun to be around. She does have an attitude, if Victoria takes something from her man she screams and yells at her..it is so dang funny. Victoria loves to go and help get her up in the morning and Elizabeth just lights up when she sees her sister. She is so active. She still has her two bottom teeth..working on her four top teeth still for the past 2 months...they come and go...very frustrating. We are honestly having the time of our lives with our little girls and nothing would make me happier than I am now staying at home with them and having them both in my life. They keep me coming and going and I love it. I don't know what I would do without them both. They are such little lovers and they just ooze love to the ones they know. Raising them and watching them grow has been the best times in my life and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for us. They both just honestly feel my heart and then some with so much love and I LOVE being their mother. I have never been so happy in my life as I am now. I want to tell my little girls that I love them more than I could ever tell them or show them. They are my life and I would not have it any other way. Mommy love you both more than anything. Hugs and kisses always.

Victoria's Dance

So, Victoria has been in dance since January and she loves it. She knows her routine by heart but doing it for her teacher is another story. Her dance is to a Tinker Bell song and their ourfit is Tinker Bell. She has done it a few times for her but she will always do it for me. She danced for the first time on Saturday at Deseret Peak. She got on stage and she walked to the center looked out at the audience and just smiled and played with her wand. She did not dance but that is OK, she is only 2 years old. She dances again this Friday and I will take video on my camera to post here.
