In January

  We (Phil and I) celebrated our 19th Anniversary with a little stay-cation.  We rode the front runner train to Odgen where we spent 2 days discovering this historic Utah city.
We explored by walking everywhere that we wanted to go.  We watched "Saving Mr. Banks" on the big screen (great movie) and spent a few hours at the Train Museum learning how important Odgen was for transportation via trains and to the transcontinental train development.
We also went to the Peery's Egyptian Theater and saw a broadcast of the Broadway Musical, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, starring David Hasselhoff, Mr. Knight Rider himself, who knew he could sing?  Not me.  It was really an enjoyable weekend, just the two of us exploring the city together.
 
 The following weekend we spent a few days in sunny and oh so warm Mesquite, NV and St. George, UT.  Mr. P had a soccer tournament to attend and we were happy to follow him along his journey.  The weather was beautiful and the President's Cup Tournament a smashing success as his team finished 1st place.

Also while in the southern part of the state we visited with my side of the family and celebrated a new cousin, Ms. Emme.
The next weekend we upheld the Dean tradition of going tubing at Soldier Hollow.  Luckily the weather was decent and it wasn't too crowded.  This is always a favorite activity for our kids and their cousins.

For my Birthday we celebrated by going out to dinner at the Brick Oven, where we found one of our own working hard.  Yep, he now has a job.  So proud of him!  And don't worry we saved him plenty of food for when he got home.
And finally, having had enough of all the teasing about his incoming mustache, this boy got a lesson on how to shave. 
Once again I am reminded that my kids are growing up too fast.  It is cool, and exciting to experience their increase in independence and to see their growth in so many different areas of their lives, but at the same time it is sooo hard to comprehend them leaving the nest.

This is ME.

I have to laugh because I found an article that sounds a lot like me.
Wouldn't you agree honey?

ME

Enjoy.

Our Anniversary


Once a year my husband and I get to enjoy some fine dining -which of course means a fancy and expensive restaurant.

For our anniversary we go out for a nice dinner together to celebrate and we like to try new and interesting places that we wouldn't take the kiddies to.

This year we went the Five Alls. Here we found ourselves in a medieval setting where we ate from heavy, metal plates and drank from metal goblets. This restaurant has a good menu with meal choices that we recognize and can pronounce plus the dinner is offered in five courses.

Needless to say I was impressed by the food, and uncomfortably full by the time we finished our meal, but my favorite part was the dessert. I had a sour cream cheesecake topped with a fresh raspberry topping and it was probably the best cheesecake I have ever had!

Another wonderful anniversary celebration and fine dining experience.
