Date day

Keith had off this past Friday, so we decided to make a date day out of it!

We headed off to Big Hill Springs to go for a hike.

And of course since we were here, and there was a pride rock thing going on, we had to do a little Rafiki and Simba action up on the rock!

"We present to you, animal kingdom of Bill Hill Springs, your Queen! Obey and serve her as if she were your own mother. You will address her as Queen Ivy from her on out, and bees don't even think about stinging her!"

After the park we went home to watch some of "The Office" (have I told how this is the best show ever created? Have I? The laughter induced from this show can heal all grumpiness, fights and boredom!) and then we got ready for the real date!

Please check me out....I am in heels! I have come along way in these 9 weeks since this....

Hot granny pj's I never took off because of the easy boob access.

This time for date night we ate at Joey Tomato's. A safe restaurant, reasonable prices and reasonable food, and you are always in for a little treat with the boob show they have going on in that place! (waitresses are a little on the sluty side).

After Keith's fish tacos and my ahi tuna burger (we both decided to branch out and try a new item on the menu! We were both pleased!) and of course the standard belini (holy crap did my alcoholic self miss this drink! It is all glory in its peach wonderfulness and slushy texture with just the right amount of sangria poured on top...crap I want another one now and its only 9am here).

We then skipped over to Eau Claire Market, where the movie I picked was playing, and Oh my God are we glad we saw it.

Yes that is Jim from the office! Yes I am totally in love with him and even dreamt of him last night. Keith and I have decided that Ivy will marry his child (which is good cause him and Pam are pregnant in "The Office").

But the movie, holy freakin crap my friends does in rock more than anything. Remember I have a passion for movies. There is no counting in the films I have seen, because no one can count that high. Have you played deserted island? (You may notice my new obsession is also the office, because this game is from one episode in the show...we have watched all 5 seasons twice since Ivy was born, so naturally my brain is always close to an episode!) Anyway...deserted island is a game where you pick things you could have if you were on a deserted island forever, one of the things to pick is 5 movies. This is EXTREMELY hard for me, but I can now safely tell you Away We Go is on the list, that is how fantastic this movie is.

Keith and I were creeped out about how many similarities there were between the movie and our lives. It was packed full of humor, drama and tears. It looked at every type of parenting and even spoke of infertility with such accuracy and true raw emotion I was a bubbling mess of tears. WARNING: this whole thing is about the couples journey in her pregnancy and meeting up with friends and families with kids, so if this kinda thing is hard for you to watch then please don't mess yourself up watching this one (but it is totally amazing!).

After the movie Keith and I couldn't wait to get back to my parents house to scoop up little Ivy into our arms and shower her with some love.

We had one freakin fantastical Date Day. Defiantly be doing these often!

[Carrie]

Looking fabulous! Totally jealous!

Best days to go on dates are during the week. Glad you all had a great time!

Great pictures, looks like a really fun day for the three of you! I really love that photo of you sitting on the stairs with Ivy and Tissue...very creative! :)

Hard to believe how fast our babies are growing up!!

Hugs,

Thanks for the movie tip! And I love Tissue's internal monologue. That's one smart feline:)

[Ann Z]

I haven't heard of that movie, but it sounds great. And you look awesome by the way!

[Danielle]

Sounds like the best date day ever! You looked beautiful, you had GREAT food, got to see an AMAZING movie, and came home to that beautiful daughter of yours. Great times!
*HUGS*

[Jen]

Tissue, I will always be your fan! I do hope you get some love soon. Perhaps you should pretend to like the baby? I bet the humans would eat that up. And give you treats.

[chantelle]

Thats so awesome! I am so glad you guys got out together alone. I do know the feeling of missing little munchkin and being so excited to see her!!! I can barely be away from Ella for a half hour without needing to squeeze her (she feels differently though).

I am completely interested in seeing that movie. I saw a preview for it a long time ago, didn't know it was showing at Eau Claire. Maybe Zac and I will need to plan a date night now too... its been a LONG TIME!

[Jen]

[andrea]

[Danielle]

Date day & night looked totally awesome!

[Kerry Rasmussen]

Ummm...Vaughn is a little bit jealous. He kind of thought he was in the running to win Ivy's heart. Sigh.

See you Thursday!

[Michelle]

Glad you had a fabulous day all around!! I share your love for all things the Office, and was wondering about the movie. Verycool!
