Love is in the air

Today we went to the Tulip Festival. It was a long drive, but it's always worth it. I love going there... How could I not. That very place was where I started one of the best chapters in my life. I remember the day so vividly.  He asked to take a picture of me walking through the flowers. Then when I turned around he was on one knee and said he couldn't imagine life without me and asked me to marry him!

Our little one is on the move

Brody you have been doing the army crawl since you were 6 months, but today out of no were you just decided to get up on all fours and started jetting around all over the place!!! It's a whole new world to you, you LOVE being mobile!

Doing the Puyallup

On Sunday my friend Samantha and I took are little ones to the fair. It was so much fun! We got to show them all the farm animals and explore around the park. It was a long day, but definitely worth it! Can't wait until next year when they can try out some of the rides!!!

Little Bunny Bro Bro

We had a busy fun filled Easter this year! I got to make Brody his first Easter basket, which was so much fun. Considering he is not old enough to eat candy I filled the Easter eggs with Mum-Mums. Brody loves himself some mum-mums. :) So in his little world it was just as good as candy! He got spoiled for his first Easter as well, he got a total of 4 Easter baskets stuffed full! He met the Easter bunny at church and got to celebrate the day with both sets of grandparents and extended family! After the long day was over and we got home, Blake and I tried to explain the real meaning of Easter with him telling him the story of Jesus’ resurrection before he went to bed. We said our prayers and thanked Jesus for sacrificing his life and forgiving us for our sins.

Memory Lane

Now I can officially say I am a blogger! I knew I wanted to start a blog once I started having kids. I love my family and have so much pride for them, so what better to blog about then Blake, Brody and our beautiful family in the making! I wanted to be able to have something for my children to look back on and to keep me connected with my extended family all over the world so they could keep in the loop with us and know what’s going on! After a very busy past year with building our house and having Brody it took me little bit longer to get this started then I wanted, but here it is! For all of you that know me you know I am short, sweet and full of energy and that's exactly what you'll get out of my blog. Short stories, but lots of sweet and memorable pictures to keep it fun and exciting! So for my first blog I thought I would start off with our most memorable moments of 2011.
