Happy Anniversary

To the love of my life, Happy Anniversary!!!! It's been five years and I can't believe it, but I've adored every minute of it! Thank you for inspiring me everyday to do more, be more, and believe in myself more. I love you!

I thought it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane. Sadly in the last five years we really haven't had many pictures of us taken. Our wedding photos were taken with a film camera and I haven't bothered to have them made into digital files yet. Here are a few, of the very few :) pictures we have together.



These were taken in 2005 by Jeremy Pexton, a great friend and fab photographer too! 2005 was the last time we had quick family pictures taken so when we head out to Utah Jeremy will be taking our photos again. This time I get to pay it forward and do their family photos in return. It will be nice to actually be in a picture for a change :)


This one is the oldest of the bunch. It was taken inside our first place, a small basement apartment in Lehi, Utah. Oh those were the days of care free responsibility. Okay it seemed hard at the time--full time work, full time school, but compared to parenting, law school, Boeing, and three businesses we had it soooooooo easy!!!! I ought to mention too that the photograph was taken with our first digital camera a $5.00, one megapixel, Fuji, that we picked up at a garage sale. I laugh hysterically now when I think of how proud of that thing we were. I thought it was the best camera ever, LOL!


This was our first Halloween in Washington. It was taken inside the Pexton's apartment. The Pexton's quickly became our best friends out here and even though the jerks had to move to Utah, we still keep-in-touch almost on a daily basis. The convenient thing is they bought a house only two miles away from Shawn's parents, so every time we go to Utah it's easy to get together.



This last one is from our trip to visit Shawn's sister in D.C. back in April of 06. We had such a great time and can't wait until Shawn graduates and we can start traveling again. Just one year left!!!!!!

Here's to a great 5 years and many more to come! I love you babe!

Summer Days

We are having so much fun this summer. The weather was off to a slow start this season, but summer really is here and it's fantastic! We've spent lots of time at different parks, beaches, museums and more. I feel like I'm always packing the kids up to go somewhere, but we sure have a good time. My close girlfriends and I get together each week for a playgroup and we went to Forest Park with the kiddos. They've got a huge playground, petting zoo, and a small water area with lots of fountains for the kids. The best part...FREE! Yup, it's all free. Kinsley spent most of her time splashing around and Grant decided to get in on the action too. He called it quits right after the water seemed to swallow him up in that fifth photo. My favorite picture was taken by my girlfriend Silvina who's daughter looks similar to Kinsley. They are the same age and play together often. In fact they look so much a like that they're mixed up for twins sometimes. It's the coloring ,and the beautiful curls. Anyway back to the pic. Silvina caught this one of Kinsley goofing off with her sippy hanging out of her mouth. I just love it because it totally captures her personality. She really is such a goofball and we love it!!!!!!

Shawn will finish up his finals in two weeks and than we're off to Utah for a much needed vacation. We're ready for some more summer fun!

Happy Fourth of July, okay two weeks late!

So I'm a little late.......You all know why, busy, busy, busy. I'll spare you all the details. We kept it kind of low key and didn't even go out to see the fireworks. I know can you say ba-hum-bug? Really we had a lot going on and needed to take advantage of the long holiday weekend to get caught up. Anywho we had brunch with some friends earlier in the day and spent the afternoon and Richards house we're we enjoyed a tasty barbecue, lots of games, and good company. The kids all enjoyed blowing bubbles while the parents indulged in the food and games. Here are a few pics from our Fourth of July celebration. Oh my kids are so dang cute!!!!!! Thanks to all our buddies for the great time!
