The Hewitt Household: Our First Anniversary!

Our First Anniversary!

We celebrated our 1st Wedding Anniversary by going to Sioux Falls for a mini-weekend getaway. Grandma and Grandpa Hewitt babysat Hayley at our house for the night while we were gone. We left for Sioux Falls on Saturday morning. We went to an outdoor art festival in downtown Sioux Falls, visited "The Falls" park, went to Rookies Bar & Grill to watch the Iowa-Iowa State game, did some wine tasting at Little Cellar Wine Company, had a delicious Italian dinner at Carinos and stayed in an awesome hotel! We had such a good time just being together and checking out the town. Even though we only live about an hour from Sioux Falls we never go there. It was definitely some nice quality time together!

It was SO nice to relax together, have a few drinks and most of all...sleep all night long and even sleep in! Such a treat when you have a sweet little 3 month old that is teaching you a new way of life! We got up Sunday and decided not to wait around for the mall to open; much to Josh's relief, and decided to get home and spend the rest of the day with the most important girl in our life.. Hayley Ann! She had a great time with grandma and grandpa but boy was she glad to see us! (See picture below!)

We ended the day with our new favorite wine, Moscato D'Asti, and our wedding cake! I had to get a little creative and decorate it to fit the occasion. Surprisingly, after being in the freezer for a year it was extremely moist and tasted pretty good!

Happy Anniversary Josh! It has been an amazing year together. Saying "yes" to you was the best decision I ever made. I love our life together and being able to share all the special moments with you. I can't wait to find out what our future holds! Love you!

A Family is a Little World Created by Love

I started this blog in March 2010 to document all that is happening in our lives. Josh and I were married September 12, 2009. We found out we were expecting our first child in October 2009 and were blessed with our daughter, Hayley Ann, on June 4, 2010. We found out we were expecting our second child in March 2011 and were blessed with our son, Hudson James, on December 4, 2011. We shared the news about Baby #3 in March 2013 and welcomed Hazel Kathleen to our family on November 25, 2013! Baby #4 was announced in May 2015 and Harper Louise joined our family January 17, 2016. I hope that the books created from this blog will serve as a special way to look back over the years when Josh and I are older and to pass on to the kids to give them a glimpse into their childhood and all of the fun times we shared!
