Winter Water Fun!!

The kids were so excited to have a day off of school! Grandma and Grandpa were too! We had a few fun options planned out and decided on lunch followed by swimming at the Bountiful Aquatics Center.

(It took Carson an hour or so to warm up to the shallow "baby" area. He opted out on the slide due to it being "to scawry") Grandpa went on it and got dizzy!!!
After swimming, the kids enjoyed a few climbs on the rock wall!

Happy Valentines Day 2009!!!

Happy Valentines! We (heart) Valentines Day! The kids woke up to a fun suprise sitting on the counter! New movies! Yipee! They were excited!


On Valentines night, Steve and I were able to go to dinner with our friends Cody and Chelsea. Thanks to my parents, we were able to enjoy a special date night together! I decided that when I'm a grandma, I'm going to make it a tradition to watch ALL my grandkids on Valentines night so my kids can go out with their spouse. It's so hard to find babysitters on Valentines so thank you mom for taking the kids. They always LOVE sleeping over at your house.
Sunday night we had a fun Valentines themed dinner. It started out just our family of 5, but ended up with my mom, and dad and Heather and Craig! Yeah! We always love having them over!

Happy Birthday to.....

ME!! I'm thinking turning 29 is going to be worse than 30!! Something about this being the last year I can officially say I'm in my 20's makes me feel really old. As many of you know, February is a crazy month for the Harris family. It starts with my birthday on the 11th, Valentines on the 14th and our anniversary on the 18th! (who planned that?) Birthday celebrations tend to last weeks and I've had so much fun being with great friends and family. It started with a lunch with my ward friends a few weeks ago. Then we celebrated with my family on Sunday and I went to dinner with Kara, Anna, and Nikki M. last night. It was so nice to just sit and visit. Then today is THE day!! I went to lunch with my mom and sisters (and a few tagalong boys!!)...I'm seeing a pattern of eating out alot. Oh, and there's more. Steves mom and dad came over tonight bearing gifts and asked us to dinner. They were watching Ty and Di's kids, so we had 4 adults and 6 kids at The Pizza Factory in Syracuse...good times! We came back and the kids gave me their gifts, which they were so excited about. Steve took them shopping Monday night and they each got to pick out something. Carson, of course, opened all of them. I wonder when the last time was that I actually unwrapped my own gift. The joys of motherhood. Anyway, it was a great birthday and I am sooo looking forward to Valentines Day. My mom is watching the kids so Steve and I can go to dinner with some friends and have the house to ourselves!!!!! I hope everyone has a great Valentines Day!!
