I had to write down this story before I forgot it. So Brett told Tori that he would have a campout on our deck with her. He got an air matress all set up, and told her he'd be right back with some drinks and for her to wait outside on the deck for him. She came in a minute later and said,
"I was gonna wait outside, but then I thought, what if a stranger came in our house, snuck upstairs, threw me in the pool in the deep end, and then I drowned? So that's why I came in."

Tori's graduation

Here Tori is with her two teachers. She had such a fun year with them.

Taylor's always making the funniest faces.

There's my girl.

Boots in the summer and marker mania

Taylor wanted to wear her boots, so of course Tori had to also. So then at the gym Tori was also wearing her sunglasses, and everyone was calling her, "Hollywood." She was loving all the attention.

Taylor seriously gets into everything!

I thought she was extra quiet eating her breakfast, and realized she poured half the syrup into her plate and was massaging it into her hands. When I told her no she did her usual squinty nose smile and laughed.

What's with the hair?

Happy Cinco De Mayo!

This girl can't get enough of everyone's shoes, and she's a pro and wearing them.

Here's my two little monkeys in my bed. i love double chins!

10 year anniversary

So on the 15th Brett and I had our 10 year anniversary. We totally planned on going somewhere like New York or Hawaii, but we just didn't plan ahead enough. So then I thought we should at least go to Scottsdale and stay in a resort, but no didn't plan that either. So instead we just went out for dinner and a movie and got a glamour shot of us in front of our new garage wall in progress. Look, Brett even shaved for me! The funny thing is, I could care less about some extravagent vacation. I really am so lucky to have met Brett, and to have tricked him into falling in love with me. :)

10 things that have changed in our ten years of marriage:

1. We no longer eat "chicken voila" every night. ( That stuff was soo good for a while)

2. There is more than a five - ten pound weight difference between Brett and I. (Hallelujah)

3. Our little fights now last about 2 minutes instead of 2 days.

4. We don't go out to the movies and dinner every friday and saturday night. It's more like maybe, twice a month.

5. We aren't the "young couple" in our ward anymore.

6. We have two amazing and beautiful girls.

7. We don't get to take 10 day vacations every couple of months.

8. We almost have to schedule alone time so that we can catch up on each others week sometimes.

9. We look alot older than we used to.

10. I've realized what a lucky girl I am to have such a great husband.

Naughty girl...

You might think I look innocent and cute, but really I'm the definition of naughty. I smile as I hold out my hands to pinch, push, and pull hair from my older sister. And when my mom says no, I just grin even bigger. When I do it three more times in a row, and she slaps my hand I just look at her and chuckle. But, after making my sister scream, I'll throw in a couple of hugs to trick them into thinking I'm cute again. Ya, life is good.
