Happy 8th Anniversary Chris!

Chris and I celebrated our 8th year anniversary. I can't believe it has been 8 years already. I wish that we were able to go back to Hawaii where we got married, but maybe some day we will get back there. Here are some pictures of us on our wedding day. I was 22 and Chris was 24. We were very young.

This year we couldn't decide on what to do. Should we stay home or go away somewhere for the weekend? We decided to stay here to save some money. We decided to got out to dinner at Tuscany restaurant. The food wasn't to bad, but the best part was the dessert! The restraunt was OK, but it wasn't very private. We were place in the middle of a big room in the middle of 7 other groups. I don't think that I enjoyed it very much. I think that we will go somewhere else next year.

Here is a picture of the kitchen from the front lobby. It was really a pretty place.

For our appetizer we got the Chiefs Hearthbread selection. It was really good,

but it was bigger than we thought and it filled us up so much that

we forfeited the salads.

This was what I ate. It was the pan seared chicken picatta with olive oil

mashed potatoes and asparagus in a light caper butter sauce.

It was really good. I have tasted better mashed potatoes, but it wasn't that bad.

This is what Chris ate . He has the pan seared veal picatta with mash potatoes

and asparagus in a creamy red sauce. He said that he liked it, but I tasted it

and it tasted weired.

For Dessert we didn't want to share, so we got different ones.

I got an Old Fashion Chocolate Cake with
Ganache Frosting and Vanilla Bean Gelato.

It was so yummy in my tummy!

Chris got the Peanut Butter Moose Tower. It was yummy also.

I went back and forth between both of the desserts.

After Tuscany we went and saw From Paris with Love. It was a pretty

good movie, but it had a lot of violence. We had a good time. We ended

up having a quiet night at home with out Triston. It was nice to

be able to sleep in and not be worrying about Triston.

Learning to Drive!

On January 17th, Triston was being very antsy and so I decided to bundle him up and take him out side to learn how to drive his new power wheel. He had a blast! He had no problem pushing down the gas pedal, but he doesn't understand how to steer. He got frustrated because he wanted to go one way and he was heading the opposite way. We ended up making it around the church parking lot. When we got inside he passed out!

This is my favorite picture that I took with my new camera.

He looks like he knows what he is doing.

Watch out CrAzY Driver!


Hi mom!

I am out of here!

Grandma Swenson's New Years Party!

This year my Grandma Swenson had her New Years Japanese party. Everyone loves her cooking. I ended up working the night before, so I got there later and I didn't get pictures of everyone. But I had fun anyways. I love having a big family and getting together. Triston was very daring he tried everything. My favorite food is my Grandma's gyoza and inari sushi.
