Thanksgiving point

So yesterday we had the rare opportunity to spend the WHOLE day together, so we decided to go to thanksgiving point, they have tons of stuff happening there so expcet more posts about it before we leave becasue we didnt get time to do everything, infact we stayed in one building we arrived at 11am and left just before 4 pm, what did we do? lots!!!!

we went to the museum of ancient life it is pretty big with quite a few large ..DINOSAURS...yes now you get why we where there so long... Emma loooooooves dinosaurs she is not at the point of knowing there different names or anything but dinosaur hunting or looking for dinosaur bones is her favorite thing to do.

(thats us uncovering dinosaur bones at a hands on exhibit)

Even if it wasnt her favorite thing to do this museum was pretty cool! I didn't take pictures of the thing we spent most of our time at tho, it was a sand and water play area we built dams and showed emma the effects of erosion(the point of the table) and how this erosion helped bury dinosaurs and also helps uncover them. it was a lot of fun and there was a little tunnel so small kids could go into the middle of the table where it was raised up so they could reach the table while adults and bigger kids stayed on the outside it was a blast.

There was also this massive shark swimming about, matt decided the shark could have emma as long as the shark left him alone!!!
Luckily the shark wasnt interested and we were able to go to a 3d dinosaur show, not so much of a story as it was an informative show about dinosaurs we enjoyed it though, probably the 3d aspect!

we spotted this dino just hanging out in the passageway and emma took a break to just chill with her(her name is SARAH duh!)

thinking that we would have time to do other things in thanksgiving point we got tickets to the gardens and the petting zoo area too...we ran out of time so we will have to use those tickets.. before we leave!!!!
we also found out about this thing they do in the museum it is called the Dino-snore program
you stay all night sleeping under the massive dinosaurs watch the dinosaur movie it says do the work of a palentologist how fun would that be for a kid??? for me even???? sounds awwwweeeesooommmeee!!!!! (thats awesome!!!) only problem is its every second weekend of the month so will we have the time to do it before we go???? i guess we will see!!!!

6 YEARS LATER!!!!

Today we celebrate (sort of) our 6 year anniversary . so to all those who thought we would not stick it out i think its fair enough to say at this point ha! or so there!!! of course i will do that again in another 6 years!!!!!

We have had our ups and our downs sometimes it seems more down than up ! but when we are good we are very very good!!!!!

We stand now stronger than ever before facing life's troubles together hand in hand.

So in these 6 years what have we learned?!

1. It is very important to be right..- whether you are or not...
2. Mornings are for Matt , not for me.
3. Asking more than once is nagging when i do it, asking more than once is 'reminding' when matt does it.
4. The highest volume wins.
5. There's left and the other left
6. I sneeze in 3's
7. Keys are good at hide and seek
8. TV's where only meant to have one remote...and 1 user :)
9. Potatoes are very versatile...as is mac and cheese
10. Dishwashers are not a luxury item they are a necessity for a happy marriage
11. Men really are from Mars
12. Women really are from Venus

We are truly blessed to have been sealed in the temple for time and all eternity. I think it has made us work harder at staying married, we are in this for the long haul!
The promise that IF we obey the commandments and endure to the end doing all we can do, THEN we will be blessed to live with our spouse our family and our Father in heaven for all eternity , what a wonderful blessing that is
