Happy Anniversary Mike!

Me and Mike celebrated our 7th anniversary on April 13th. Seven years really doesn't seem like that many years, but when I think back at everything that's happened, all the fun times, great memories (especially from our 3 week super trip) and 3 wonderful children, our wedding day does seem like it was so long ago. I'm so glad we've gotten to share it all together.
Love you Mike. This was a day or two after our wedding up in Sedona. It is so beautiful up there. This was at the top of one of our hikes. You can't really tell from the picture, but I remember thinking we were going to get blown away because it was so windy up there. We had such good time that we decided to go back the next year for our 1st anniversary.

Happy Birthday Laura!

Laura's Birthday was March 24th and she turned the big 5! We had a party for her with all the family and cousins the Saturday before. We've had an Easter Egg hunt the last couple of years, which was alot of fun for the kids. We did it again this year even though Easter wasn't as close to her birthday this time. She told me she had alot of fun which I was happy to hear.




Laura had alot of fun with her presents.


Aunt Melanie, Emily and Jane were so nice to bring a present they knew that David would really enjoy. It's hard when your 3 and see your sibling get a bunch of new toys all on the same day, so he was excited for all the tools.
Laura had a great time playing with everyone. She is such a happy girl.


Jacob turned 6 months old the day after Laura's birthday. He sure keeps me busy all day. I'm really good at juggling him around from one thing to another. He doesn't really like to stay doing one thing for very long. Which, as any mom knows, makes it hard to get anything done. He is a happy little guy though and I love his sweet smile.


Uncle Dave was trying to steel Laura's thunder by bringing his new chuckwala, however you spell it.


We took Laura out to dinner on her actual birthday with grandma Bradshaw. We don't go out very often with all the kids, so it was fun to see them excited to go to a restaurant. We had a very nice evening. I'm glad Laura had fun birthday.

Daddy's little girl.
