Thanks for all of your Anniversary wishes! Scotty and I don’t usually make a big fuss over our anniversary, but since this was our fifth, we decided that we should do something fun so we went to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory and took a carriage ride through downtown Salt Lake City.

We let Nicky tag along because we love him, and we think of our anniversary as the day we started a family, so why not make it a family day? (don’t mind the dirty look on his face. He had fun).

Unfortunately, the whole day was ruined by Governer Huntsman who decided to pronounce May 9 as “David Archuleta Day.” Why not ‘Scotty and Brittany Day?’ Why?!? Next time I have dinner with the Governor, I’ll be sure to mention it.

Speaking of David Archuleta, this is where he goes went to high school:

But that doesn’t matter because this post is about me! (am I selfish or what?)

I may have mentioned recently that Scotty has had some problems in the gift giving area. I’m pleased to report that he has made up for all of his mistakes. I’ll let this picture do the talking:

Happy Anniversary to me!

For Mothers’ Day, Scotty gave me a 3-piece quilting set with a cutting mat, rotary cutter, and acrylic ruler (it was on my list). I’m so spoiled.

Over the weekend, I had some time to reflect on motherhood and how my life has changed since having Nicky. I love him so much. Guess what he gave me for Mothers’ Day:

For the first time in his whole life, he laid down on the floor and fell asleep. I’m so happy to be able to experience the joy of being a mom.

*Just kidding, David Archuleta.
