I have been craving Pumpkin cheesecake  so bad lately, I knew that we were going to The Cheesecake Factory for our anniversary.  I love the cheesecake from there. So anyway  we found someone to watch our kids for about three hours, we got ready  and  there we went!  We finally got there,  there was no parking spots so we parked a little bit farther than normal and my high heels where not very comfortable. So I got in line to wait my turn and  ... the ladies said " it's going to be an hour an a half " So we decided  that it was too long and we wouldn't be eating until almost 9:00pm. Troy and I decide to split, Troy said " I will go The Olive Garden to check how long the wait is"  I said okay I can go to Macaroni Grill.  "So here we go with my lovely heels and crossing this busy street"  I said. "I hope I win." So of course the Olive Garden wins. They get their  pies and cheesecakes from The Cheesecake Factory! So that's not too bad.   We had spent all of our time parking and waiting for our turn. The funny part is that there is an Olive Garden in American Fork closer to us. Some times things don't go as planed.

 You see, I can take a picture of James by himself and he smiles just fine but getting them together is a challenge for me.

Oh well, I guess I just need to keep trying!!!

This is for everyone that wants to brag about their husband.

Each person answers questions about their sweetheart. At the end of the post, the person tags 6 people and posts their names. Then, go to their blog and leave them a comment letting them know they have been tagged.

James loves giving Troy kisses before he goes to work. I think that's cute,  he can be  so busy playing with his cars and a soon as he sees the door opening he stops and gives him kisses. 

I don't think that I will go shopping so early next year. I went and bought some things for Christmas, then I got home and try to wrap a few gifts, I heard the garage door opening and I hurry to tell the kids... tell your Dad not come into the house until I put all the stuff away. so that day was impossible to wrap anything. I try the next day got all of it done and then.... It got quite quiet for a few minutes and I thought I better go check and see what James is getting into, anyway to make the story short he had opened almost all the gifts that I had wrapped for Christmas. I said oh no, oh no but it was too late! I looked at him and he had the guiltiest face ever! I guess the terrible two's are here!!! I love my little James.

Everyone that I have invited to this blog, you are now TAGGED! HA HA HA!

Have you ever gone some where because your kids want you to go? then you say I told you so. Well we did go see Thomas, but Jonathan didn't like when the train was coming in. So I thought how can I make this trip fun for all of us, So I rode with them on this little tiny train, I couldn't hardly fit! but it made them happy! what we do for our kids huh?   All and all we had a great time!

So, Cari had the curliest hair ever, it only lasted until she was two! now we got some rollers for her and it works fine.

I just love my kids so much! Jonathan is now 8 years old and I am feeling a little old.
It makes so sad to think that one day they will move away.

So, Jon was so exited for his birthday party, we went all out for this one! check out the pictures.
Troy sure did a great job with the invitations. Oh just in case you didn't notice the theme was pirates!

I can't believe how big my little James is, they sure grow up fast! I love being a mom!

This is my little Cari dressed up as a dalmatian. She loves getting her pictures taken. I am posting these pictures from 2007, because I have always wanted to have some kind of journal. Posting the picture is my favorite thing, they stick with me forever.

The theme was pony express. We had lots of pictures. Old west style. The cub master brought everything from hats to ropes. It was so awesome. Not to mention the food was delicious. We had a potato bar. And Troy didn't get ANY!!!! 'cause he was so busy taking all the pictures.

My kids had a great time running around making things a little bit difficult. All in all it was quite fun. Kudos to the scout committee.

Anyway, enjoy these old west pictures.
