10 YEARS BABY!!

(please excuse the picture of a picture...it's one of my favorites though..)

Hard to believe that it's really been TEN years already!  Marrying Josh was the best decision I ever made.  I love him sooooo very much!  We have made a beautiful family together and I am so thankful for him every day!!  Since my brother in law is getting married tomorrow and I am making their wedding cake it's not like we could take a long glamorous trip (ok, couldn't really afford to either), so we went to lunch today at Joy Luck and then this weekend we will spend it kidless in Park City.  

So here we are after our delicious lunch!  :)  It was super bright and sunny out, hence the major squinting...definitely different than the cloudy, rainy, chilly day we were married 10 years ago!  :)

 And of course a self taken picture of us in the car!  :)

And I wore cute shoes today...these are my fave...now to only find another pair in black! 

Love you Joshy!!  10 Years down...forever to go!  Can't wait until this weekend!  :)

Bento Mania!

This all started back a couple weeks before school started this fall.  A friend of mine in the ward was ordering some nifty little lunch boxes from EasyLunchBoxes.com.  I decided to go ahead and order a pack (of 4) of them for the girls lunches for school.  I then became fascinated with Bento style lunches. I quickly got my friend Tamara interested in them and from there we went crazy!  :)  We got a big group of people together so we could order some cheaper bento supplies online...We got some super fun stuff, but I was still obsessed with having more.  So I sent an email to Ayaka (our most recent Japanese student) because I knew she had the best access to the goods!  And she was soooo super sweet and sent us a big box packed with bento supplies!  This box came today!

 And this is what is was full of!  It was seriously like Christmas going through all of this!

 Here are some pictures of the bento lunches that I have made for the girls!  I will also be adding some links to my favorite bento blogs to the right, so make sure you check those all out too!!  It's fun and addictive and the kids really like it!

Sniff Sniff  Is it really true that my baby boys are TWO?  It can't be...it has gone by way. too. quickly!  :(

To celebrate the big day we invited all the family over for some cake and ice cream, and being the toy story fanatics that they are, we had a toy story party of course!  Here are the cakes I made for their big day!  I was going to put a cute buzz and woody figure on top of the cake, but I couldn't find them, so they got aliens instead.  Still super cute!  

 My parents gave the boys this cute little toolbench.  They love it!

 Papa sure loves the little bubbas!

Tools!

 Time for some cake!  Happy Birthday to you...

It was a good night!  The boys loved all of their gifts, and apparently I didn't get any other pictures of them.  But there was lots of we had some super happy bubbas!  Here's to another year cute boys!  Love you lots!

New Quilts

Today we got an unexpected package in the mail.  I was so excited to see what was in it once I saw that it was from my Grandma.  She makes the best quilts, and the kids all love getting them!!  Today they were for the boys...aren't they so cute?  When I laid them out on the floor to show them to the boys they immediately ran and starting laying, playing, rolling around on them.  Thanks so much, Grandma!  They are a big hit, and the only blankets the boys will sleep with other than their silky blankies!  :)
