Happy Birthday Kelly...

So...no pictures--sorry! But I wanted to update on Kelly's birthday! A few weeks ago Kelly turned to me and said that the only thing he really wanted was to be able to just sleep in...just once. I was mentioning this to one of my close friends and she said she would help me give him that for his birthday. She offered to take the kids (yes, even Tessa) from 3:30 p.m. on Friday to "fun night" on Saturday where she would drop the kids and we could pick them up at 9 p.m.
So on the 29th--after spending the day cleaning so we could truly relax, I dropped the kids off at Cami's and then Kelly and I were off to the temple. We hadn't been in awhile and I have to say it was awesome! It was so nice to not feel like we were "on the clock" with a babysitter. It was so peaceful...and quiet...two things we don't experience much at home :).
We sped home for a quick change and then were off for a nice dinner at Longhorn Steak House--it was really weird when we drove by it on Saturday and it was closed down for good...anways...good food--we stopped for a movie from Red Box and some swim diapers (real exciting) and then came home to watch movies and some kickboxing. We were up super late--but it was so fun knowing that we could sleep in--which we did until 10 a.m. (what? I didn't think I was capable of that anymore!)
We decided to do some quick yardwork (how boring are we?)--but it needed to be done and as fun as it sounds--I guess thats part of being a "grown-up"--and it actually wasn't too bad since we weren't so worried about teaching the kids about work. I picked Tess up around 1 p.m. to get her ready for a nap and then we just relaxed--ate an early dinner at Baja Fresh and then relaxed at home...I hope it was a good birthday for Kelly. The kids had fun at the Clausen's and I'm not sure they were ready to come home--and as much as both Kelly and I enjoyed our "day off"--we missed the kids.
I love you Kel-bob! You make me laugh--you make me happy! I can't imagine sharing life with anyone else...I hope you had a great birthday! We love you mucho mucho!!
