lucky 13

Mark and I celebrated our 13th anniversary this weekend!

these are some of our engagement pictures back in 1998.

and these were taken just a couple months ago. yes, we are wearing the same outfits!

13 years of hard work, love, patience, and lots of laughter has grown into a beautiful family.

Sam's awards day

Sam is such a great kid. I am amazed that he can be the class clown and still do so well in school. this quarter he received a perfect attendance, a math, and a reading award. good job buddy!

Peter's science fair 2012

Peter decided to do an Angry Birds theme for his project this year. the measured the trajectory of a ball from a sling shot from different angles.

We used a soccer goal post for our sling shot. the boys had so much fun shooting the ball from this.

He came in second this year and accomplished his goal of placing every year since 1st grade!

New Years

Friday morning we left town to spend the weekend in San Diego. We stopped in LA for some lunch. Mark and I tried some Indian food at a place called Al-Noor, it was so delicious! their garlic naan is so good! The boys didn't want to try it so they had McDonalds. I've never seen one with a carwash!

Once in San Diego, we checked into our hotel then went to our friends house and ordered pizza and just visited.

Saturday morning Mark woke up early to go surfing while the boys and I slept in! we then got breakfast and headed back to our friends house where we we hung out and then did some shopping. that night they had a party so we did that and then after midnight, we went back to hotel where the boys had their annual silly string fight!

Sunday we went to check out the Midway.

The boys had a blast here!

We then went into Old Town to check out the newly remodeled Mormon Battalion site.

This place was lots of fun! at the end of the tour the kids got to pan for gold!

Monday morning we checked out of our hotel then went to visit with our friends for a bit before we headed back home.

For Christmas Peter got a ripstick and Sam got a soleskate and Adam finally learned how to ride a two wheel scooter. there is a park and a walking path where our friends live. this whole weekend, the boys would take their new toys and ride around.

they got pretty good on those things!

Headed home, we stopped at Cafe Rio for dinner.

Almost home!

We love San Diego!
