Sept 2008 Family Picture

Snow!

Annika loves the snow.  Last year she didn't care for it and would cry out in it, but this year she seems to love it.  She says "cold" when she touches it but likes to kick it with her boots.  

Go Boise State!

A couple weeks ago, we had the opportunity to go to a Boise State Football game and sit in box seats.  It was so much fun!  Annika loved being able to run around and even watched the game a little.  It was very cold outside, so it was nice to be inside with a catered meal and be able to watch the game.  Annika loved to grab the cookies all the time.  She was sure hyper that day!  =)  

Happy Halloween

Annika absolutely loved Halloween this year!  She dressed up as Minnie Mouse.  She loves Minnie Mouse.  She still keeps asking to wear her "Minnie Mouse" dress.  So cute!  She had so much fun with her trick-or-treat basket and would carry that around all day handing it to people saying "candy" or "trick-or-treat."  She had to hold candy in her hands at all times.  Our day was quite busy.  We went to Steve's work, Steve's best friend's place, then back to our house to trick-or-treat around our neighborhood and then to my friend's house for a Halloween Party.  We were all so exhausted, but had so much fun!  

Annika's Bedtime

Annika does not like going to bed.  =)  It has always been a struggle to get her to bed on time.  She just loves to stay up late.  Well, tonight we had gone to a friend's house for a get-together and Annika had so much fun playing there, she must have worn herself out.  After getting home, getting her bathed and ready for bed, she walked into her room, climbed into bed and put her blanket over her.  We couldn't believe it!!  We usually have to tell her to get into bed, and then I lay in bed with her for 10 minutes or so and sing her primary songs until she goes to sleep.  But tonight was definitely a first!  She must have been so tired to just climb in bed all by herself.  Hopefully this is a start to a new pattern.  =)

Our 11 Year Anniversary!!

Wednesday, Oct 15 was our 11 year wedding anniversary!  It seems like just yesterday we got married, yet it also seems so much longer than 11 years because I cannot imagine life before I met Steve.  He sent me the most beautiful flowers ever!!   2 dozen roses!!   We also went to a wonderful french restaurant in East Salt Lake called Franck's.  I did not know food could have such great flavor!  Everything we tried was wonderful!  The atmosphere was so romantic.  It was a perfect anniversary date!  I felt like such a princess!  Steve is so wonderful and I'm so glad I found such a wonderful man to be with for time and all eternity!
