Okay, November 23, 2009---bring it on! I am ready for you and ready for my sweet precious baby girl to turn the magical, wonderful age of SWEET 16!

Dear Madi,

You have been and continue to be a joy in my life. Thank you for being not only a kick bottom daughter, but my friend. I love spending time with you, seeing chick movies, getting root beer shakes, going on road trips to Park City and St. George, looking at and buying cute things for your cute body or room. You quietly go about doing your thing--no drama, no hate--just steadiness and love. The only thing I would wish for you (and I know it will happen some day) is liberation from your phone....

You are an awesome wonder and I love you! Happy 16th, baby.

Love,

Mom

The Honeymooners



Ahh, there is nothing like a little time away with my honey! I called up Kelsey and asked her to please come stay with the kidlets while Steve and I ran away for the evening. Usually we will just run down to the Cottontree Inn where we have our favorite room (The Honeymoon Suite--thanks, Dave!), but this weekend we drove to beautiful Midway and the Homestead, where we checked into the Honeymoon Suite.

We love being together, just the two of us, and reminding ourselves that we really are fun and pleasant to be around and passionate and HUMAN! We are not just a mean, ol' grumpy mommy and daddy.

Thanks, sweets, I had a wonderful time with you (as always!)
