Playing indoors

The weather hasn't been the best these past few days and I am not looking forward to what that means. Anyway, my boys and I were spending the day indoors while it was snowing and raining outside. While running out of things to do to occupy our time, and I had had ENOUGH of "mouse" I decided to try my hand at photography. Here are a few of the pictures I took. BTW- I included some pictures that my 2yr old took, I bet you can guess whose are which!

The little boy formerly known as Landon has now changed his identity to:

Buzz Lightyear

Now I know what life looks like from his point of view

Keep up the good work Buzz, soon you'll be a pro!

Happy Birthday Lil C

We were invited to Christian's 5th birthday party. They rented a bounce house for all the kids. We went a little early before the party started so the two boys could jump together. It was so fun to watch them jump around. I wish I had a quarter of their energy!

While Lanny and Christian were having a blast burning up their energy in the bounce house, Cal was taking a snooze. How would it be to sleep anytime you want with out a care of what is going on around you?

If you notice, under his arm (the rust colored thing) is Landon's Mater toy. I wish you could see what was under his other arm too (even more toys). He is usually the designated toy carrier. Before we leave the house, Landon will gather up the toys he absolutely can not live with out for one moment, and tosses them in Cal's car seat for him to carry. I guess his "little brother" duties have already started :)

Summer wrap up

We are so sad summer has come to an end. Here is a small photo re-cap of our summer. I hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed making the memories.

The Aquarium with cousins

Cousins, cousins, cousins! We love our cousins.

(sorry to those cousins that I didn't capture on film-we still love you!)

Racing cars with Daddy

As I was looking through these pictures, I noticed he is wearing the same shirt in almost every one. I promise these are all seperate days, I didn't go out and just take a bunch of pictures in one day to make it look like we do things. He or I must really like that shirt :)

09/09/09

What is so special about 09/09/09?

Well, only once in a lifetime will you ever see this day. What a special day. Today is even more special to some of us than others.

5 years ago today, I married the man of my dreams!

Happy anniversary Jare!
I love you!

If you asked me 5 years ago where I would be now, I definitely would not have said I'd be here. I am in a much better place than I ever thought possible. I have an amazing husband that I fall in love with more and more every day. I have two beautiful boys that I also fall in love with more and more every day. I have a wonderful house that provides a great home for us. I have a loving family and friends. There are so many more things in my life that I am grateful for and didn't think I'd have, but on this special day I want to recognize my best friend! I love you babe and these last 5 years have been the best of my life, I look forward to many more, even an eternity with you!

Here are some photos to bring you back to our special day, 5 years ago.
