You have to be very patient to get pictures like this.  I am not patient.  After 45 pictures where I just missed the lightning every time, I was about to give up.  John was out with me and I just told him it was too hard to time it, so when he said "go" I was just going to press the shutter button and hope some lightning came during that time.  Well, this was the result after the first try.  He must be lucky, except when it comes to red lights.

We were invited over to a friends for dinner (which was absolutely amazing!) and my kids loved their cats!  Sorry kids, we will never have a cat.

I really have no idea if I am on the right count, but oh well!

Sydney was playing "Just Dance" on the Wii and Jordan decided to join in.  She thinks she is a big kid lately and I think it is so cute!

Our cute little friend D got to spend the morning with us.  I am not sure Hurley enjoyed their activities.

So, John had all the young men from our ward stay over at our house all night and had a Book of Mormon read, so the kids and I found other places to be.  We decided to go and visit my brother and his new little baby and then we slept at my moms.  Connor has hit a stage where it is very hard to take a normal picture of him.  I am okay with that though because it will be good leverage for me when he is dating!

Happy 11th Anniversary Dear!

This was probably one of my favorite anniversaries.  We hiked to Doughnut Falls with some good friends and then we went out to eat at Market Street Grill.  The food was just okay, but we brought our journals and read what we wrote when we were dating.   I didn't write very much and what I did was embarrassing, but it was fun to read what he wrote.  I think my favorite part was when he called to ask me out for the first time.  He called and we talked for probably a good 20 minutes about random things and then he told me that his roommate needed the phone and that he would call me right back.  When he did, he said something like this, "well, I just wanted to know if you wanted to go out with me this weekend."  I said yes.  He said, "great, thanks, bye."  Very short with very little information.  I laughed.  Then he called me back soon after that, sounding a little sheepish and said something like, "I guess I should tell you when and where huh?"  It was pretty funny.  So for our first date we rode in the back of his roommate's truck as we drove up into the canyon.  We played Uno, had a little dance party, and went exploring with his roommate and mine and had a good ol' time.  I really liked being around him because he was cute, funny and I felt very comfortable around him, but it wasn't until he sang that I was truly smitten.  Today I feel extremely lucky to have him.  I love you John!
