Coffee Date




Jayden and I went on a coffee date last week.


Most of you know that this is my favorite place to spend one on one time with a friend.


Now that I have kids I get my coffee to go :)


But it is nice to have a date (with my oldest boy every now and then too!

Happy Monday!

The Ogden's 40th Anniversary

greg & alice celebrated 40 years of wedded bliss on monday
what an amazing accomplishment and wonderful legacy to give us
we are so very thankful for their commitment to one another,
in these days - that is a rare thing.
so we celebrated on friday night
with a "best of Big D" tour
in a fun stretch limo :)
it pulled up to our house and swept us away
alice was wearing earrings that she wore at her rehearsal dinner 40 years ago
she came prepared with the limo stocked with food and drinks
and these adorable napkins
"forced family fun"
i thought they were funny :)
the fun wasn't "forced" at all,
but i still thought the napkins were funny
i didn't get any pictures of where we went for appetizers
(jordan banned me from taking too many pics :))
but we ate dinner at tillman's roadhouse in bishop arts district
it was our first time to go and we all LOVED it
it is such a treat to have a nice dinner with family without the kids
i love my kids and love them being with me -
but that makes times like this even more special

we got the trio of fries appetizer
yummy!
and ended with their famous s'mores
after dinner we headed to another "Best of Big D"
it was such a fun, different place
and had
AMAZING chocolate and the most unique flavors!
i can't describe it well,
but it would be a great date spot after eating dinner somewhere in bishop arts district
it is really fun and unique
geoffrey & jordan got sorbet's from here
the flavor was amazing -
i told jordan it tickled your tongue when you tasted it :)
thank you alice & greg for such a fun, memorial night and
including us in your celebration of 40 years!
we love you and are so thankful for your legacy to us
of a healthy, loving, strong marriage!
greg's advice for the secret of a long lasting marriage
"marry your best friend"
i couldn't agree more.

as you probably saw in my previous post,
my newest niece was born!
she came a month early -
but is doing great!
alex went fast
and she is amazing.
i am just saying -
i am super impressed with how she handled everything.
hallie is such a sweet little bundle of joy
i can't wait to watch jason & alex be parents
they are going to do an awesome job
they will be loving, caring, and super FUN
here is a pic of alex when she was born and hallie
i thought that was pretty cool
hallie came on the perfect day -
my dad works half days on wednesdays and they didn't have lg that night either
she's so sweet and thoughtful :)
duncan is such a lover
this is the second newborn he has seen in a week and for both of them he wanted to kiss their head
what a little LOVER

i will say i feel like we are a like a tornado coming into the room,
and the peace after a storm once we leave
thankfully alex & jason were gracious with us :)

cousins

i took these pictures of the cousin's at the beginning of the summer
i waited to post them b/c they were for my dad's father's day gift
i love how they turned out
the wagon was so great because it kept everyone "closed in"
we also tried to do some family shots
my kids didn't quite do as well as the marable kids
surprise surprise :)
i love the above pic
it's like campbell is saying - enough, enough




can't wait to add another cousin to the mix in a month!
so excited to have hallie jane sudan here!

she may be only one
but she's smart :)

i found her in my closet the other day
with this . . .
she know's where the good stuff is located
and that a certain tag and bag probably would have something
she might like
well, at least something that her mom would like :)
