OH MY GOODNESS! That homemade card is the CUTEst thing in the world! I am totally crying over it! great post!

I wish the scan of the card was better.. the temple has lines and details that just didn't show up.

and it made me cry too.. not because it was sweet but because Ben drew me with a bald spot on top of my head! How rude!

You have a few amazing boys around there, you lucky lady!

Janessa said...

That card is awesome. Your kids rock! I didn't know you were going bald. Thank Ben for letting us all in on that little secret. ha ha.
Happy Anniversary.

Ben's drawings are NOT always accurate, okay? if they were, that would mean Aaron's face was JACKED.

When I asked him what happened to Dad's face, Ben said. I first drew it and Dad's head was smaller than yours, so I just had to draw it bigger. I am so glad he fixed it and didn't make me 2X's as big as my husband (something he's done in many pictures before!) I hate when they draw a family picture and I turn out to be an over-sized (bald) monster! It can really terrible for your self-esteem!

What a sweet card! Gifts from kids are always the best

I am laughing that he thought it neccessary to draw arrows pointing to who is the mom and who is the dad. Love it!

Brooke said...

How cute are your boys!?! Did they decide to draw the picture on their own or did the aunt kindly suggest they draw the picture?

Happy anniversary! I think that the card is adorable. It sounds like you guys had a fun night away. Your family picture is so cute.

Happy Anniversary! Love the drawing from your boys. I can't wait for our 10 year in August. Don't know what we are doing with our kids yet, but we are getting away.

I love the appropriate modest dress for you and tie for Dad...and you're happily holding hands or arms??? What a great drawing. I think there's some psychological explanation for drawing details....lots of face and hair - GOOD; no feet, hands, fingers....??? JK! I love the boys' drawings and as you know they are all over my fridge and mirror. Zack's handprints are still on the back door window. Miss you guys! Have fun in Utah!

Happy Anniversary! I got your message - we were in Colorado for a reunion. I'm going to call you back, I promise! Maybe I'll do that right now, actually. Your wedding day was a FABULOUS day! I still look back and wish that I'd gone through the temple the week before so that I could have been there for the sealing. Instead I raced from your reception in my bright green dress through the airport (where they were holding the plane just for me) so that I could get back to Vegas and go to the temple for my endowments the next morning! A few minutes later and I would have been stuck. What can I say? Your reception was just too hard to leave. I am so glad that you and Aaron found each other - a match made in heaven...literally.

That was so sweet. You're raising some amazing young men. Glad you had a fun anniversary.
