Princess Bike

Leah bought a cute little princess bike from her friend for $5. She was so excited about it and she begged us to teach her how to ride a bike. For Family Home Evening we headed to the nearby school. She didn't need very much help and was quite a natural. She was determined to learn and didn't get frustrated at all. She took off pretty quickly. The only thing she really needs to practice is how to brake :).

I love watching my kids learn something new like riding a bike or learning to swim. Leah sure is growing up! She starts Preschool tomorrow and she is very excited about it. She even laid out her outfit before she went to bed.

11 years on the 11th of 2011

Trent and I just celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary. For our tenth anniversary we had big plans to go to Europe together. We had saved up enough frequent flier miles to go, but it didn't work out. Maybe some day. This year we talked about going somewhere in the states for a long weekend, but we decided on a cheaper option: a fun night in Park City!

We stayed at the Waldorf Astoria. It was AMAZING! Seriously. It was worth the splurge. I was excited to find out they would give me a cheaper rate than the lowest I found and free breakfast (We got eggs benedict and beignets. It was delicious!) It never hurts to call and see what you can negotiate :).

It was a fancy hotel with amazing service. Right when we got there they valeted (sp?) our car and when we got inside they offered us some bottled water while we checked in. They asked if they could make dinner reservations for us. They told them it was our anniversary and we got free dessert. They drove us in to main street for our dinner. It was a fun night.

It was nice we had people to watch our little ones while we enjoyed 24 hours of peace :). We are glad they had so much fun with family while we were gone. Trent and I have been married for eleven years now. Time flies.


I didn't bring my camera. I only think to bring it to take pictures of the kids. Here are a couple of photos from the web:
