Saturday Night Fun!

Tonight, we were bored, we couldn't get a sitter to have our date night, so Jon suggested we take pizza and head up the canyon.

It was raining down here, but it didn't look like it was too bad up the canyon. As we got higher the rain came down hard, we thought, well worse case we will just eat our pizza in the care.

We went to Silver Lake and found a picnic table not too wet and started eating. About 15 minutes later it was a down pour with rain and hail. We took off and ran back to our car...it was fun to watch the girls..Addi loved the rain on her face! We finished eating in the car and once it cleared up we went on a walk on the trail. Half way into our walk it down poured again, so we took some pictures and got in the car and came home.

I love these kind of nights, so spontaneous and it was so much fun! The temperature reading in our car at Silver Lake was only 49'. It was cold and it felt great. The leaves were so pretty, not many have turned yet, but it is getting me in the mood for Fall.

Healing Field

Today, I took the girls to the Healing Field. We have gone the last few years and the experience is always the same...very humbling. This is such a wonderful reminder to be grateful for all the freedoms we have. This was the first Healing field and now several states have done this too.

I suggest any of you to take your families and enjoy this experience. The flags will be displayed until September 15. It is in Sandy, 10000 S Centenial Parkway.

The flags with the yellow ribbon is a soldier from UT.

The yellow ribbon has each fallen soldier's name on it

CRAZY!!!!!

Well some exciting news at the Fitch household!! We are expecting baby #3!! I think I am in shock a little still. I have never gotten pregnant so easily, so this is why I am still a little shocked.

I am due in April, I had my Doctor's appointment yesterday and everything looked great! My Doctor was very surprised to see me...he is so funny and great!

So please wish me luck, and pray that I will learn MORE patience:) Don't get me wrong, Jon and I are really excited to add to our family!!

Jon

Happy Birthday Jon!

We are so proud of you. You mean the world to me and our wonderful little girls!!! You have always put me and our family first and that really does mean so much to me. You are a wonderful provider and a very hard worker! The last 10 years have been so great!

This is my favorite picture of Jon and Ayden

Jon's B-day was September 2. He had to work, so a few weeks ago, I decided to plan a surprise dinner party for him. He hates surprises, so of course this is why I wanted to plan this party.

We had the party at Red Robin at Valley Fair Mall, they were so wonderful to accommodate our big party. Jon had no idea for the 4 weeks I had this planned, he is so easy to surprise.
I really appreciate everyone that came, we had a great time!!!

Kisses for the birthday boy!

First day of Pre-school!!

The LONG awaited day of Ayden's 1st day of pre-school is finally here. I was worried that Wednesday night we would have a hard time getting her to bed by 8:30, but she had a long day and was ready. I checked on her around 8:45 and she was out cold. When I woke her up this morning, she was pleasantly happy!

She was so excited to get to school and wanted to make sure that her friend Jordan would be there too. She was worried about one thing...she was worried that she wouldn't be able to write her letters. I told her, that is what your teachers are going to teach you and she said..Ok, that will be good!

I thought it would be kind of sad to leave her, but when I saw how happy she was to be there, it made me feel very comfortable to know that she was going to have a great time, although there was one little boy crying. (poor buddy).

I am excited to ask her what her favorite part of her day was.

This is why we love Ayden!

The other night Jon went into Ayden's room, to make sure she was asleep..this is what he saw....

This is why we love Ayden, she makes us laugh!! (even when she is sleeping.)
