Our Adult Night Out - Celebrating 6 years of marriage

Last night Josh had his mom watch the kiddos all night while we went out. Josh got us a room at the Hyatt Crown Center for one night to celebrate our 6 years of marriage (August 13, 2005 is when we said our "I do's").
We stayed in room 2016 on the 20th floor with a great view of the downtown Kansas City skyline. We got to the hotel early so we could check-in and spend some time relaxing before our late night with friends.
We met up with Burnie and Starla at Milano for our dinner. We all enjoyed a nice meal with great conversation. Afterwards, we had Sheridan's custard for dessert...a cold creamy ending to our meal time. We then made our way to the American Heartland Theatre for the production of Honky Tonk Angels...it was a wonderful production!
After the show, we all went our separate ways. Josh and I went to our room to change from dressy to drab so we could go walking around Crown Center. While we were walking, we took several pictures at several different f-stops and speeds to get different effects.
We finished our time at the Hyatt with breakfast at the Terrace. You know you're at a fancy establishment when the jams come in a miniture glass jar instead of the plastic square stores! It was a great breakfast.
Josh did a fantastic job planning our night out. He got me 3 new cookbooks and a book about shutter speeds. He also got me a new betta with its own tank. We also got 2 new Red-finned sharks and 5 golden snails for our big tank. Josh, of course, got the big tank cleaned with a new bridge as part of his gift. His 2nd gift was a book.
Enjoy our experience!

The Great Adventures of London...Part I

Well, our little London is growing up! The first picture below is of London sleeping in his car seat when he was about 10 months old. His legs are crossed "indian" style and then pulled up to his chest. When he was 10 months old, this was a common sleeping style for him. I just thought it was too cute to pass up.
The next two pictures were taken shortly after London turned 1 on May 23. He's a smart little fella...our nickname for him is Little Man because he's like a miniture man. Jamion, CJ, and CeKariya were in the front yard fighting ninjas and saving princesses. London was inside with me and Josh was putting on his finishing touches for dinner. I was working on the computer while London was attempting to walk, bear walk, and crawl around the front room.
I started to smell a slight hint of strawberry in the air...like lotion or perfume, but didn't think much of it. Josh walks into the front room with a boom "Oh, no! London! London, what are you doing?" I looked at him curiously and Josh responded, "He's eating the strawberry body butter...it's all over him!"
We took the below pictures of his look before we wiped it off. We also discussed how he got into the body butter because the lid was screwed on tightly...the Little Man figured out how to open it all by himself! The pro of this ordeal? He smelled good for the next two days!
Enjoy the pictures! Click on them to see a close-up of his face and mouth!
