7 Years!

we celebrated 7 years yesterday!

but actually celebrated this past weekend.

My mom met me in des moines on wed and took the boys.

I went to amys house for some girl time

thursday ean and i went to the wine bar in mt. vernon for some wine and music then to scorz to watch the NBA game.

we got home and were just sitting in silence and at one point ean said the silence was deafening. and it truly was my ears were ringing!

Friday night I went out for dinner with my friend Kasi and met up with Ean afterwards at Brads house where we ended up staying cause we were having some drinks!

It was so nice to be care free and not worry about the kids :)

saturday morning we stared our short vacation for our anniversary and actually did the same thing we did last year except this time we got a hotel right next to the dueling piano bar in des moines so we didnt have to get a cab!

but before we got to the hotel we went canoeing at a lake...I  can't remember the name but it was so much fun! So pretty, so peaceful. It even started to sprinkle as we were paddling back. we saw lots of fish and ducks and birds...and NO snakes :)

after that we checked in and found out that the hotel had happy hour with free food and 3 free drink tickets per person....and you know how we like a good deal! 

so we had our drinks then headed to the blue moon piano lounge for the night where we saw some very interesting people, heard great music and had some awesome cucumber vodka! 

last night we opened gifts,

7 years is copper so I got ean a copper rain wind chime, it fills with rain and spills down into all the other cups!

and he got me some copper that he bent into a heart! 

A homemade gift...well it was made in the truck in the parking lot of lowes :)

then we went out to eat at the mexican restaurant in mt vernon

and chasen fell asleep on his way there and didnt wake up when we took him in so we laid him down and he stayed there until we were done!

it was his gift to us!He refused a nap and we swam for quite a while too so i thihnks thats why he was so tired.

when I was painting in the dinning room I found our glasses from our wedding in the cupboard so we had some champagne to toast!

Chasen did not understand what we were celebrating and why he didnt get a gift

he also wanted to cheers with us so we got him some juice in a plastic wine glass.

it was a great anniversary!
