Odds & Ends

Our life really hasn't been that exciting lately! So I will try and make this blog interesting! :) Jon and I celebrated our 9th Anniversary last night. We went to Donovan's Steakhouse in Scottsdale. It was pretty good. Jon enjoyed his more than I did. I got a filet and it was good, but I'm a pretty plain steak person. Honestly, my favorite steak is a well done sirloin! You don't find that in nice steakhouses! The sugar snap peas were really good though. I could have made a meal out of those! Jon got a 24 oz rib eye!! He almost managed to finish it too! He found the most well done piece of his medium rare steak to have me try it...I had to choke it down! It was like eating pure fat...YUCK! The waiter brought us complimentary creme brulee because it was our anniversary! This was after Jon told me I could pick dessert since I didn't enjoy my steak as much. So that idea didn't work out so well because creme brulee is Jon's favorite dessert and I really don't care for it! But, I have to say, I ate some of this one and it was actually very delicious! I don't like the sugar on top, so I just scraped that off and ate the custard with strawberries. Overall, it was a fun night! 9 years seems like such a long time, but it has flown by! Next year for 10 we are going to New York! We can't wait for that! We have decided that the Olympics will be the end of us! We are staying up until midnight every night to watch them, even though we have DVR! We are crazy! Last night was the first night that I fell asleep at a decent hour, but it was on the couch while watching the Olympics with Jon! They are so exciting and the USA is doing pretty good. I have to say the best event was the men's swimming relay! Jon and I were almost screaming watching it! It was definitely a nail biter! Go USA! That was awesome!

The kids are doing good! Emma can hardly wait to start pre-school. She has been playing with her friends a lot lately and just seems to be growing up so fast. She asked me this morning, "Mom, why am I not 4 yet?" Soon! She has her party this Saturday so stayed tuned for pictures of that!

Ava and Emma playing dress-ups!

Derrick is plugging along with potty training. He went 4 days without an accident! We are getting there! He even stayed dry during nap time and at night for those 4 days! The kids have been into playing "Let's go to sleep". They make beds all over the house and just lay there! I guess I can't complain about that game! Some of their favorite bed making spots have been Emma's closet, under the piano, in the hall, and under the kitchen table! Jon came home the other day and was puzzled as to why there were blankets and pillow under the table!


So that is our update...like I said, not much!
