Summer Time part 1

 We love the summers...we always have so much to do and we have so much fun doing it all. And now that the Oreo is a little bigger we were able to do a little more this year. We started out our summer with the Brownie's graduation. 

He worked so hard and it all the paid off.He was able to graduate with honors and we had a wonderful day celebrating his success.

 This was a morning breakfast at the Brownie's school.

Going on a school tour.

A true graduate! Congratulations 

This beautiful clock was given to the Brownie as a graduation gift by his grandparents.

Our next big summer activity was the Oreo's first camping trip. We have never seen our little Oreo so occupied or so dirty so far.

The first thing the Oreo does is go straight for the dirt. He wastes no time at all and within minutes he is covered head to toe in dirt. 

The Oreo's other favorite activity was collecting sticks and swinging in his uncle's hammock.

Okay so maybe he was a little unsure of the hammock but at least he tried it out. The Oreo also went on a hike and played in the river that was nearby. 

The water was so cold that he could only stand in the water for about 10 seconds but he still had fun. 

Even the Brownie had fun exploring by the river.

 After playing in the dirt, sun, and woods...we were all ready to have a nice dinner and good conversation around the camp fire.
One of the Oreo's Uncle made him a spoon out of wood and coals.

After all of our fun we finally made it off to bed. The Oreo slept good until he somehow rolled out of his sleeping bag and all of his layers of clothes and blankets. That's when he had to come to bed with us. The Brownie and I were glad when morning finally came. 

The Oreo had so much fun that he did not want to go home. And he revolted our efforts to pack up and leave.

And yes he did this himself.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for a great camping trip!

Happy Anniversary!

May 20th 2010 was an amazing day for the Brownie and the Muffin! That was the day that we started our life together. It was an amazing day and we won't forget it. Now here we are three years later in 2013. We are amazed at what has happened in those 3 years. We wanted to share with you what we did this year for our Anniversary. We were excited that we actually got to do something. Last year it was to close after having the Oreo that we made it out to dinner and we were grateful just to do that. 

We started out with a beautiful morning sky. We loved the way the clouds looked up on the horizon.

 For some reason May 20th was the only day that the Brownie was able to get a dentist appointment. So that was the first thing that we did that morning. While the Brownie was getting his teeth checked the Muffin was playing Angry Birds and winning three stars on all the levels. 

After we were done with the dentist we decided to have lunch at Famous Dave's. This is one of our favorite places to eat. The Brownie loves the boneless wings. And we always have fun trying all the different sauces. 

After we were done at Famous Dave's we headed to the Anniversary Inn. We went to the Anniversary Inn in Logan for our 1 year anniversary. We loved it so much we wanted to do it again... So this year we went to the Anniversary Inn in downtown Salt Lake City.

This year we choose the room Savanna Nights and it was beautiful. We got our room key and headed up to our room where we spent a few hrs just relaxing...ahhhhhhhh that was nice.

The Muffin's favorite parts about the room were the giant tub

and the balcony.

Whenever you stay at an Anniversary Inn they always leave you some sparkling cider and cheesecake. We forgot to take a picture of the cheesecake but remembered the sparking cider.

After awhile we finally decided we should probably get out before it was to late. The Muffin's mom gave us an amazing gift card to go to the Cheese Cake Factory. We saved that gift card for this very special occasion and we were glad we did because we had an amazing dinner.

 The Brownie got a really yummy looking pizza,

 
And the Muffin went all out and got probably the most unhealthy dinner menu item, a Macaroni and Cheese hamburger. We never heard of such a thing either but the Muffin said it was pretty amazing!

After dinner we spent the rest of the evening roaming around city creek.

 The best part about our roaming City Creek was going into the different department stores and choosing different colon and perfume for each other. We had to keep sniffing the coffee beans because our noses kept getting overwhelmed with different senses. This is the only time we really ever sniff coffee beans... we don't usually like the smell of coffee but it really works to clear your nose.

We ended our night with a movie, popcorn, and some drinks. We ended up watching "Playing for Keeps." It was an okay movie...next time I think we will get a movie that is a little more exciting.  

When we checked in the day before we ordered our breakfast to come at about 8:30. We thought that we would just wake up because our little Oreo is always awake before this time. I don't think we realized how tired we were but we woke up at 9:00. We did not hear them knock on our door when they brought it. We found our breakfast out side our door. I guess we would change that as well. It was still very good. 

We had an amazing time!
