Happy 1st Anniversary!

Sunday was our anniversary, first ever, and the only one we'll ever have without kids. We kinda split up the weekend and celebrated it over all three days. Friday we went to a movie and out to eat (thanks mom for the money to allow us to do that!). Then Saturday, after sleeping in as long as we could, we spent the day together, and went to the Springville rodeo that night. It was so fun! Our favorite was by far the mutton busters. Watching those kids hold on for dear life while riding the sheep's back, falling off, going head first into the dirt, or spinning head over heals, almost getting trampled on by the sheep, the stand up, put their hands in the air all excited and everything... it was a blast! Quinn is SO doing that when he's old enough! Then Sunday, I was extremely sore and couldn't hardly change positions in bed, let alone get up to use the bathroom or go to church (I've decided bleachers and pregnancy don't mix!). Josh got up when our alarm went off, and made me breakfast in bed. It was so sweet! I love that man! He went to church, had fun in nursery (since I can't go anymore, doctor's orders), and came home to me making a mess in the kitchen. We sorta ate our top layer of cake on our 1 month anniversary, so I decided to try and remake it. I had made a spice cake the day before (by scratch and everything, I was rather proud of me), and was working on making fondant as Josh walked in the door. I got it done, we rested that afternoon, and I made a yummy dinner to go along with our cake (homemade chicken cordon bleu).

As a side note, Josh has been continuing to help people with yard work. We went over to Aliesha and Jeff's house and helped them start pruning their apple trees. It was really fun, at least when the kids came out to "help". They'd pick up the sticks and leaves that had been cut off by Josh, and would put them in "piles" (or throw them all over the yard and scatter them worse). Then they wanted to play with us (go figure). They sword-faught, ran and jumped on us, played baseball, etc. Here are a couple pictures of our little helpers.
