our 10th anniversary...

isaac took these pictures of us as we were leaving to drop the kids off at our friends and go out to dinner for our anniversary. apparently after you've been married for 10 years you dress alike and don't even notice it.{oh well!} we went to a really yummy french resturant, i can't wait to go back. then watched tangled with our friends and the boys. it was a very fun evening. these last 10 years have flown by, but at the same time life before them seem like an eternity ago. i'm so glad that i have sam to spend the next 10 and the next 10 and the next 10....years with. that is if he can put up with me for that long. we were talking about how things will have changed when #20 comes along. our kids will be 16, 14, 12, and 9, i can't even imagine it but i know it will fly by just as fast as the last 10. so i hope i can slow down enough to enjoy them as much as i can as everyday runs away from me faster and faster. i love you!

finishing the bagels...

*tips for myself next time.

1. read throught the entire recipe several times throughly...

2. don't add ingredient to the dough that are suppose to go into the boiling water

3. now that i understand the boiling timing. schedule more appropriately so my neighbor doesn't have to pick isaac up from school.

i must say not withstanding my minor blunders with round one. they turned out pretty dang good. slightly salty{for some more than others}, but still really good. i will definantly be trying this recipe again.
