Happy Anniversary

On August 8th Andy and I had our 10 year anniversary. Having so many kids, we NEVER get the chance to go anywhere. So, we decided to do something just the two of us. We didn't go very far, we just couldn't bring ourselves to leaving our kids and taking off. We ended up planning a two day trip to Disneyland. It was so fun! Surprisingly it was not busy at all, and the weather was not all that bad either.We got to go to both parks. On Thursday we went to Disney, and did all the fun things over there. Then on Friday, we went to California Adventure. It was both of our first times at California Adventure. There are so many cool things there. For anyone that has not gone there yet, if there is anyone, you have to go there. The rides are so fun, and not just that they have so many cool things to see there.
I have to say that I do have the most awesome husband around. On the night of our anniversary we left the park, went back to our hotel and got ready to go out to dinner. He didn't tell me where we were going. No matter how hard I tried to get it out of him he kept quiet. He had made reservations at Orange Hill. It is this fancy pansy restaurant in the hills of Anaheim. When they seated us there was this vase of roses that were there waiting for me. It was so romantic. The funny thing is I knew he got flowers, but for some reason I thought he forgot that we were going out of town, and when we got back there would be this flower delivery sitting on our doorstep. Anyhow, he really does like to go out of his way to suprise me.
Andy, I love you, since I don't tell you thank you that much, here we go: Thank you for such a wonderful time. Thank you for the best ten years, I can't wait to see what we do with the next ten. Thank you for 5 of the most beautiful children. Thank you for always thinking of your family first. Thank you for letting me sleep in on Saturdays, even though you get up early every day of the week. Thank you for being such a great father to our children. Thank you for the going without so others can have more. Thank you for your kind words when they are needed. Thank you for sometimes just not saying anything at all. Thank you for .......
I love you babe! Happy Anniversary!!

To wrap up our awesome week, it was my mom's birthday on Saturday. When we went to pick up the kids from my parent's house, they were all going out to the beach. Andy and I decided to stay at their house with Emmalee while they went, since we were pretty pooped out from Disneyland. When they all got back my dad took my mom Andy and I out to Claim Jumpers for her birthday. It was a fun time.

Happy Birthday Mom, we love you!!!

What a wonderful Anniversary. Congratulations. James and I were planning a two day trip to Disneyland for our 10th Anniversary in Feb. Great minds think alike huh. Oh and Orange Hill is beautiful. We had my graduation lunch there back in May. I love it. You are a really lucky gal. I had no idea my cousin was so romantic.

Andy and Kelly Together Forever
