Two People, Two Dates, Too Much Fun!

Date #1: Les Miserables!

We went on a double date with Paul and Kylee Monday night to see Les Mis in the discount theater on main street!  It was very good, and I'm so glad we got to see it in a theater!

Date #2: Kindergarten Date!

I got this idea from the Dating Diva's website.  We had a kite, so I searched their site for dates with kites and found this.  It started with a little note I wrote for Peter in crayon.

I don't know if you can see it, but it says, "Will you go on a date with me this afternoon?" and then it has two check boxes--one says yes the other says no.

For the date, we dressed as little kids.  I wore my Lion King t-shirt and pigtails, and Peter tucked his t-shirt in.  

Our activities were related to letters of the alphabet, and we got through all but 3 of the letters.  It was  a lot of fun.  We Flew a kite and Jumped off swings, played Go fish!, Voted on and Watched a movie, Colored, and Laughed!

 Here we are flying the kite--I think this was my favorite part.

Yes, it is a Ninja Turtle Kite :)

As we finished flying it, Peter started trying to make it fly as he walked.  And spun.  I think he looks like he's dancing with it :)

March Madness (and no, I don't mean basketball :P)

I made a goal to blog each week, so last week I was looking for things to take pictures of because all posts are better with pictures :)  Well, I was walking across campus when I came across a pen and two calves.  As in baby cows.  I was like what the...? so I asked the people standing around what it was for, and they said it was Aggie's Day (meaning agriculture majors).  Only in Utah!  The cows were pretty cute, though, so I took pictures :)

Saturday, we had a Songs of the Heart social, which was pretty fun.  I took some pictures of it, too, but I probably need to post those on facebook, so I won't put them here.  Peter's parents also came up with the purpose of buying us a couch.  After much searching and deliberation we decided on a futon couch that looks nice and is very comfortable.  In order to make sure it didn't fall off the back of the truck, Peter rode home lounging on our new couch lol.

Esther 4:14

I love the story of Esther, so I had to share this Mormon Message.

Spring Break 2013, San Antonio, Texas!

For Spring Break, Peter and I went to San Antonio to visit my brother and his family.  We had soooo much fun!  We left Friday afternoon around 5pm and drove to Kingman.  Our original plan had been to go through  Flagstaff, but they had horrible weather that night, so those plans changed rather suddenly.  Saturday we wanted to drive all the way to San Antonio, but ended up stopping in Fort Stockton, thinking that might be the safer option.  

Heading out of Cedar City: beautiful mountains!

We had to take a picture of this sign because we are T-Birds, woot woot!  I don't even remember where this was...

We finally reached our destination Sunday morning, a couple of hours before church, which we joined Matt and Vanessa for.  Peter taught Elder's Quorum and I helped Vanessa with Sharing Time in Primary.

Monday, we mainly visited with Vanessa in the morning.  We took a nap that afternoon, then headed downtown.  We bought super cute salt and pepper shakers at the market, took the river boat tour, and had dinner on the River Walk.  We did a little meandering, then got some ice cream.  It was an awesome date!  Here are our pictures on the River Walk.

Tuesday, we went to Six Flags!  The roller coasters were fun, but the lines were loooonnnng!  It was Spring Break in San Antonio, too, so all the school kids and teenagers were there with us.  However, I did introduce Peter to funnel cake, and we got some dippin' dots, which were yummy!

We decided to pass time in one of the lines by taking some random pictures. 

The rest of the week we spent visiting with Matt and Vanessa.  We didn't take any more pictures (I know, totally lame!), but we had a lot of fun.  Vanessa and I did some shopping Wednesday, when we found NOTHING, that is, until we went to Walmart.  Yes.  Walmart had a pair of cute blue pants when everywhere else we had looked (kohls, target, gap, TJ Max, Ross, etc) had zilch, zip, nada.  

Thursday, Vanessa got a friend to watch JT for us, and the four adults went to play laser tag, which I had never done before.  We had a blast!  It was so much fun!  Also on Thursday, Peter took me back downtown because I had seen a shirt I liked at the mall on the River Walk.  At first we couldn't find it, and I was really bummed, but then we found it and another shirt, which was great!

Friday, Vanessa and I went out on another shopping venture, this time to Charming Charlie.  Oh, I could spend so much money in that store! However, I limited myself to one set of earrings (3 pair) and one necklace.  I started out with a kind of neutral colored necklace, but after I got it home and decided I wish I had gotten a different one, Vanessa kindly switched them out for me so that I have a blue necklace and blue earrings that match my blue pants perfectly!  That night, Peter and I watched JT while Matt and Vanessa went to the Temple.  After they got home, we all watched Rise of the Guardians which is completely adorable.  Matt and Vanessa ordered it after we gushed about it and then gave us the DVD that came with their blue-ray.  Thanks so much!

Needless to say, the drive home was much longer than the drive out, but we split it up better this time.  We had lots of fun on Spring Break--we just wish it had been longer!  

Here are a couple videos I got of Peter playing with his new nephew--too cute!
