A MUCH NEEDED Break!

This last Weekend was our 12th Anniversary. I convinced Jayson to take me away for the night. We kept going back and forth about whether or not we should go somewhere. We haven't gone anywhere for our Anniversary for three years. And with Jayson not working much and money being tight right now, we just didn't know if it was a good idea. We SO Wanted to get away. A break from my Screaming Two year old, was Much Needed. So.. We decided two days before, that we were just going to go for it. We really needed some time alone, and like I said, My Sweet little girl, has become a Screaming nightmare since the binki fairy came.
 So.. Grandma, and my neice Shyanne, headed down to our house Friday afternoon to watch the kids. We decided that morning, that maybe we should take the kids to our hotel and let them swim, since we haven't stayed at a hotel with them for over a year. The boys got out early that day, so as soon as they got home, I told them to put on their swimsuits and we left. They had lots of fun swimming! Then, we headed home, dropped them off, and left for our Sweet,Quiet, Bliss!! We went to dinner at PF Changs. And it was Delicious!! Then we got to go to bed early, with No Screaming baby girls. YAY!! It was so nice, I was so excited about the quiet, I couldn't help but squeal. The next morning, we woke up, (no crying babies), and went to breakfast. Then we went to the mall and walked around. On the way back, we decided to drive up to the Bountiful Temple. Which is the temple we were married in. We have not been back there in many years. Since we have lived in Arizona. I am so happy to be living close by to it again. It is such a beautiful Temple. Their was a couple that had just been married, getting their pictures taken. We got talking about how that was us 12 years ago. All the things that happened that day, and how stressful, but happy, it was. I am so glad that we found each other, and that we could be married in the temple. I am so grateful for our three beautiful children. It is funny to look back 12 years ago, and think about where we were then, compared to now. I can't imagine our life without our kids now. We are so different now, then we were then. And yet, our Love continues to grow!
Such a pretty Temple!
 It was really cloudy and the sky was really blue, so it made Moroni ,look so sparkly and he stood out, in the sky. You cannot tell in the picture at all, which is a real bummer, Because it really was So beautiful!

The pillars where we got our wedding day pictures!



The fountain, where I wanted our pictures taken, but their were too many other weddings that same day, so their were brides and families all over the temple. We had to settle for the grass, for our big fam pictures instead.

Such a great Weekend! And to make it even better, Aty did not scream that night, before bed. Hooray!! Guess she didn't want to ruin my awesome day.
