10 Year Anniversary


Yesterday was our 10 year wedding anniversary. Wow, 10 years! Sometimes, it doesn't seem that long and sometimes it seems much longer=)

I love my husband with all my heart. He truly is my soul mate and best friend. We were engaged within a month of knowing each other and married a year and half later. He is a wonderful man, husband, friend and father. I am so lucky. He arranged childcare for the kids including for them to stay the night! We went out to eat, did a little shopping and came home to watch a movie we had Netflixed. It was a great night. I thoroughly enjoyed adult conversation without having to worry about blood checks, counting carbs, calming the boys, telling anyone to eat, hushing the kids and so forth and so on. It was great! (Earlier this year we took an early anniversary trip to the mountains.)

Moving on, I recently realized that the boys haven't experienced a lot of things that Janessa has, such as Stone Mountain, Six Flags, World of Coke, and the Aquarium. We either did those things with her before the boys were born or she has gone with her Girl Scout troop. I decided we needed to change that. So far we can check Six Flags and The World of Coke off our list. Earlier this summer we went to Six Flags and today we went to The World of Coke

We had so much fun. We decided to do lunch at home and head to Atlanta. We got there around 2 after getting lost (My fault of course = ) and finding parking. We enjoyed the museum. It was really neat to see all the older Coke items and see how it has developed over time. The 4D theater was awesome, but the kids' favorite part was taste-testing all 64 flavors of coke products. (Janessa actually tried everyone of them!) There is one named Beverly (my mom's name!) that was awful, but there were lots that were really good. The really cool thing is that there is an actual working bottling line you can tour and at the end of your visit everyone gets their own bottle of coke that was manufactured that day. Carson enjoyed picking out his bottle. He must have touched 20 of them before deciding! We then ate dinner at the CNN center and played in the Olympic Water Rings at Centennial Olympic Park. The kids had a blast! It was so much better than playing in the sprinklers at our local park. There was even a show with music, lights and water. It was so cool.
They were so excited to finally be inside

A really cute pose I got from a friend, but ours didn't turn out quite as good, but still cute!


At the park again. We just couldn't seem to end the night.


Brady decided he couldn't walk back to the van, but he could use daddy's head as a drum!
