We are so lucky that our wonderful sister Mary came to visit us last weekend! It was a blast to have her here and it gave us the perfect excuse to get away and do something FUN!!

Hyrum and I have been planning on celebrating our one year anniversary for some time now (since June actually.. four months late isn't SO bad, right?) and we decided that we would treat ourselves to a musical- one of the great perks of living in a big city. Well it just so happens that Mary loves musicals too, and that she had never seen The Lion King (which was our show of choice).. PERFECT!! So we surprised Mary (with some help!) and went to the show. It was so good! We all did admit that it loses a little of the effect when the man behind you starts quoting the words a half second before the performers...buuuut I guess that's what you get when you buy the cheap tickets, right? (Luckily he only did it a couple times!)

Cute Siblings..


Nothing like a first anniversary picture when your big and pregnant!


We also spent the weekend trying our luck at the slots...


...and trying out new paint colors for our HOUSE! (House, you say? I know.. that post should have come first.. but we have a house!! and it's wonderful! and I will post about it so soon.)

Thank you SO much for coming Mary! It meant so much to us, and we loved the company. Next time we'll be coming up to see YOU with our little guy in tow! woo!
