Fun Date

Last night I took Mitch out on a super fun date. I've been wanting to do something fun because we rarely go out unless the parents are paying (love you). So I found a website that has lots of fun and creative dating ideas which got my creative juices flowing and I came up with an idea which I then shared with a friend and together we put together this great date! At least to me it was great.

Toward the end of the week, I emailed Mitch asking him out to "A night for the stars". In which he replied, "What do you have up your sleeve?" but I was good and did not reveal anything else.


So Saturday we started the date with making a creative star out of play dough. Mostly we were just killing a little time and getting the boys in the same place for our next surprise.


I made the sweet little rock star. It had a Mohawk and everything but sadly it did not win. (We had the babysitter judge when she got there)



On to our next event, we had the men walk the red carpet (since they are big stars!) with their sweet sun glasses as the paparazzi (us gals) took pictures of them. It was hilarious.



This is them hiding behind the car when they noticed the neighbors were out in the yard.


We then headed to the cheap theater to watch the big stars of Hollywood in "A-Team". We even gave our guys the star treatment with popcorn, drinks and starbursts.

After the movie we went to the park and did some star gazing. I printed out a constellation map so we would have some idea as to what we were looking at/for. It was a very nice clear night so we had a lot of fun.

I also put glow in the dark stars up in our room with one that had Mitch's name on it. After we got in bed I gave him a Star Certificate(I found one online and then just changed a few things to make it my own) that showed a star had been named after him. It was pretty funny and then the next morning he found his star.

Feel free to use the idea and if you have any other fun date ideas, please share.

Date Night

So friday, I met Mitch down in Idaho Falls after he got off work so that we could do an actual date night. We thought that this will probably be one of the last times it will be just the two of so we took advantage. Normally our weekends consist of playing games friday night with Mitch's parents and then helping either Mitch's brother or cousin with remodels on their homes. This weekend his parents were out of town so went to this little restraunt downtown called the snake bite. I realize this is a strange name for a restraunt and not normally something we would pick but I read about it online and I really just wanted to do something different so we went and tried it out and sadly, there were no snakes slithering around the restraunt. But wow, I was really impressed. It was a little pricey for a burger and fries but very very delicious. I downed the whole thing, didn't leave one thing on my plate and it was no small plate. Then we went and walked around the river and took some pictures with our new camera. I really wanted to feed the ducks but we sort of forgot to bring anything to feed them with so obviously that didn't happen but I do love my new camera because you can zoom in forever.
The ducks in this picture were clear across the river and yet look how great of a picture I still got!



The beautiful scenery.




Yes, I even got Mitch to pose for a quick pic.

And I really didn't want to put this on but now everyone can see just how big I am getting. You know the girls you sometimes see around town and you think oh my goodness they are going to pop at any minute. Well that is now me. As we were walking back to the car we passed a building with the mirror glass all around the outside and I just was completely amazed at my stomach. I even did one of those double takes so I am sure that other people are thinking and doing the same thing as me which is fine because in just a few days (fingers crossed) we will be having this baby!
