6 Year Anniversary!

Six years.
I still feel like the luckiest girl in the world to be married to Darin.

We had a wonderful anniversary!

It started out with this beautiful bouquet!



Then we went to "The Garden" for dinner.
It was my first time there and I really liked it!

We got a nice seat with a view of the temple.



The food was delicious too!
We stated out with spinach artichoke dip with fried pita bread. 
It was tasty!



I am a lover of salmon salads...this may have been the best one I've ever had!


Darin had the Garden Lasagna, and it was really yummy too. 
(But, I think Darin was a little disappointed when he realized it was meatless, ha ha).


I kind of love this guy, like A LOT!!!!


Since Andrew is still nursing, we really can't be away for too long, and especially no over-nighters.
So, I recreated the "Wild West Room" at Anniversary Inn.
It may be silly, but I had fun doing it.





Happy Anniversary Darin!!
You are "WANTED" by ME!!  Love you!!

Fourth of July Part One---Breakfast

We had our wonderful traditional breakfast at Aunt Charlene’s house.
She is so nice to host this, especially because our group is getting so big!
The breakfast is always delicious, and I just love any chance I get to be with my family!




The breakfast is unbelievably delicious.  
Really, probably my favorite meal of the year!!

Baked French toast.
Ham and Cheese Strata.
Breakfast Casserole.
Sticky Buns.
Sticky Buns with pecans.
Pancakes.
Whole Wheat Pancakes.
Cinnamon Rolls.
Tons of Fruit.
Milk, Juice, and Chocolate milk.

Are you salivating yet?

Now do you understand why this is my favorite meal of the year!?





Ok, can I just tell you that I am in LOVE with Lindsay’s little patriotic outfit!?  Thanks SOOO much Sophie!!  We LOVE it!!


And thanks Bridget for showing me how to do the cute star in Lindsay's hair!

I LOVE being with this crew!





Aunt Charlene lives across the street from the temple.
The kids were skinny enough to fit through the fence.









 I had a lot of kind helpers to hold Andrew...








  



I wish I would have made a video of all the conversations we had.  
We were all laughing so so hard!!



Happy Independence Day!!



Fourth of July Part Two--The Cabin

We had a GREAT afternoon at the cabin!!
Mom and Dad Gunnerson organized a delicious lunch and we had such a fun time.
Saying I love Darin’s family is an understatement, everyone is so fun!

Matt loved swinging on the new swing.


Lindsay loved the new swing too.


Noah was so nice to play tether-ball with Matt.  Although I did feel bad that Matt tripped and fell into the pole.  He has a pretty good bruise on his cheek now.


We had a good group up at the cabin.





Rick and Olivia/Ryan and Marci made the best smoked rib sandwiches!  
Oh, they were SOOO good!


Erika made these cute patriotic kabobs!


Uncle Al loves that I take so many pictures!


Sarah was so cute with Lindsay.  She did this cute little “3 Bears” song.  Lindsay loved it and kept asking for it again and again (even in the middle of the song).  I can’t believe that Sarah is leaving on her mission in three weeks!  We are going to miss her!


Erika also had the magic touch with Andrew, he was smiling nonstop with her.









Thanks mom and dad for the wonderful day at the cabin!!

Fourth of July Part Three--BBQ and Fireworks

We ended our fun fourth of July with a little BBQ and fireworks with friends.








Just because I think he is so cute....
