My Anniversary Surprise!

So as a I said a few posts ago, Ryan and I just celebrated our 5 year anniversary! Ryan had been trying to plan a surprise weekend away for us but things didn't work out with baby sitters. So I prepared for an anniversary at home with 4 kids! Our anniversary was on Friday, it was about the same as every other. Ryan went to work I took care of the kids. For dinner since I said I wasn't cooking on my anniversary we got Papa Murpheys and watched a movie. Ryan got me some beautiful flowers and we had an ok evening together as a family! But lets tell the truth, what kind of an anniversary is that? Hello lame! But oh well right you have to have a few lame anniversaries! Well on Saturday, I woke up to Ryan dressed for work, kissing me good bye! What it is SATURDAY!!!!! So he gave me a completely viable explanation for what happened at work and he had to go in for a little while! Great my day started out wonderful! So I went to the kitchen and started getting the kids breakfast, No sooner had I done that and my wonderful husband walks back in the house, with two baby sitters! He turned to me told me to get dressed and we were off! So we went on an adventure in Portland for the day! We had a great time . We went to the Japanese Gardens. wich were beautiful!
Me and my hunny by the waterfall!
Me being naughty and climbing the wall! Oops!
I love this man!




The cool stair case! The amount of work that went into this place every little pebble is specifiacally set!

Man I wish I always had these little signs in life, it could make things alot easierCrop circles, ok not realy!



So We had a great time at the Japanese Gardens! But let me be honest for a minute, it costs $8 to get in per person, and I expected alot more for that much money. They are gorgeous, but so small for the amount of money, in my opinion! Oh well! We also went swimming, did some shopping and ate lots of good food! We had a great time and I am so thankful for a husband who realized my need to get away for atleast the day! I love you Ryan thank you so much for all you do for me and our not so little family!
