Five Years!


June 28th marked our five year anniversary. We wanted to celebrate it as a family. Though to most it is just a celebration from the date we were sealed in the Fresno, CA temple, we also feel that it is a day to celebrate the beginning of our family. After all, getting married is the start of a new family. So, we celebrated our five year Family Birthday :) We went down to Springfield and enjoyed time together as a family. We went to "The Library Station." We love to read to our kiddos and they love books, so this seemed like a fun idea. But, what made this trip to the library even better was that this"Library Station" in Springfield is themed around transportation. The outside of the building looks like an old train station. Inside there was one of the first models of an old black Ford car, model airplanes hanging from the ceiling, a model train running on a track suspended from the ceiling, and a train for the children to play in. There were many other neat paintings and sculptures dealing with modes of transportation. It was real neat to see and since both of our kids love things that go, it was perfect! Here are photos from out visit to the library:






While in Springfield, we purchased new guitar strings for David's guitar. We all enjoy David playing the guitar so this was a great gift for all of us. And we ate dinner at a little Indian Restaurant called "Gem of India." There is much significance to an Indian Restaurant in David's and mine relationship. We were pleased to find this little restaurant in Springfield, and even more pleased when it was authentic, good food.
