10 Years!

Well, it's sometimes crazy to think that I've been married for 10 years. Just like it's crazy how fast my kids have grown up. Well Dan had been out on a trip and he has another long one coming up too. So we thought it would be fun to take the kids with us overnight and do something fun with them so they can spend more time with us.
(After thoughts, maybe we will leave them home next time)

But no really, it was a fun time. They were just so excited to stay in a hotel. They had fun drinking hot chocolate swimming in the pool and sleeping somewhere else other than home. I think their favorite part was breakfast the next morning when they got to make their own belgian waffles, eat as much yogart, donuts, juice ect... as they wanted.

We went to the Church visitors center, The Joseph Smith History Museum, The Beehive House, and saw the Conference Center. They had fun, Devyn thought it was cool to see REAL things. (Note to self: Ethan is too young.)
Before going home we went to the Clark Planitarium
Devyn had her dream come true when she could forecast the weather for us. I have video of her doing this years ago. She would love to do this when she grows up.
And my little ones walking on the moon.
This was fun for the kids, they loved all the scientific things inside. Wish we had more time, next time maybe we will stay for a show.

Night Out!

A couple weeks ago I was able to go to dinner to The Roof! I was so excited since I had always wanted to go there. Anne from Belgium and her husband were in town doing business with Daniel and his Dad. Anne is a lady who showed me all around Belgium when I went there to visit in August. She also went with me to Amsterdam. So it was fun to see her again, it was a fun night out!
The view of the beautiful temple - my temple
After we ate dinner we walked across the street to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir practice. It was fun since I have never done that before. We sat up top and you can just hear the choir everywhere. The sound was amazing in there. You really couldn't tell where the sound was coming from.

Another cool part about this was that my friend Lynda plays in the orchestra. It was so fun for me to know someone down in there and I could totally see her! I zoomed in She is blonde and wearing a black shirt. She plays the violin.
(Lynda I know you didn't appreciate this picture, but why you are SO beautiful!)
