Decade of Decadence

November 11, 2000 Jill and I were married.  10 years later we are happier than ever.  With Grandma's funeral in Cedar City we used this trip as a way to celebrate how and where it all began.  Mom and Dad took the boys back to Salt Lake City, while Jill, Alyssa, and I first went to dinner at a stake house by our cabin.  Jill and I have eaten here a few times through the years and it's a place that's been a part of our 10 years of marriage so it seemed like a perfect restaurant for our 10 year anniversary dinner.

It was August of 2000 at the Bryce Canyon Rim Run that I proposed to Jill at Sunrise Point.  Of course it was at sunrise and I completely surprised Jill.  She had no idea a ring was coming, I had picked it out and blindsided her with a romantic proposal at this very bench.

Here is the view from that bench.  10 years ago it was at sunrise, this year didn't quite make it up that early, but it's still an amazing place. 

We walked around Bryce Canyon for a little while.  Because we had Alyssa we couldn't really hike, but were able to take in the beauty and remember how special that moment was 10 years ago.

Ruby's Inn is such an amazing place.  It was fun to walk around the shops and the hotel staff are all so friendly.  Every one of them wanted to see Alyssa and compliment us for making such pretty babies.

Driving home through Panguitch, we drove through this really cool tunnel.

Thursday we celebrated Landon's 4th birthday.  He was so excited.  Our boys are at such a fun selfish age, poor Logan sure was sad not to get any presents.

He "helped" as much as Landon would let him.

Landon always loves to help me with projects around the house.  He has had a fun set of play tools for a while, so for his birthday we decided to get him a set of real tools so he can help me even more around the house. We also got him a Super Hero Squad ship and some action figures from that T.V. show.  He still loves Pokemon so we got him some cards, and all in all it was a very fun birthday for him.  He picked out a dinner of chicken bbq sandwiches and we went to Wendy's that night for Frosty's.  Oh to be four again.
