Six great years!!

Happy Anniversary David,

I can believe that it has been six great years already. each year just gets better and better.

I would never have thought that when I got married I would have three kids and be living in Hawaii. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

David is the best husband and father ever. Here are some things why he is the greatest:

*a great father
*Genuine
*down to earth
*loves me
*funny
*always makes me laugh
*always provides what our family needs
*Values his priesthood
*is a hard worker
*takes the kids on Saturday and Sunday mornings so I can sleep in
*Knows when I need a break
*takes the kids when I need him to
*is a great friend
*a good listener
* a great cook
*is totally good looking
*patient
*keeps me grounded
*helpful
*smart

I could go on and on but I want David to know how much I love him. David, you mean the world to me. I couldn't be happier were we are right now. You have given me the greatest gift ever. Well there is actually three. They go by the names of Brooklyn. Landon. and Dawson. Thanks for trusting me with the kids. Thanks for always meeting me on what to do with the kids. I love that we want the same things for our kids. Thanks for all your help with them. You are such a great father to them. There are many days they count down until when dad comes home. You are always taking situations and teaching them. As challenging and fun as it is to have three young kids. Being there mom means so much to me. They are such great kids. They look up to you so much. Thank you for always bringing me back down to what really matters. When ever I am stressed out you are always reminding me that it is okay and to just take a step back rather then give up. Thank you for taking the time to made date nights a priority. You are the greatest. I have such a strong support from you in all that I do. I love that you have more faith in me then I do. Thanks for making me a better person. You are the greatest thing ever to come into my life.

I remember when we got married that morning riding in the car with my parents to the temple I was nervous but then I saw Terry's car (her red jimmy was the first car I saw )in the parking lot and I just wanted to get in and see you. When I did I was immediately calmed. I love that has never gone away.

The one thing that means more to me then anything is that you have chosen me to have in your life as your wife FOREVER. That no matter what happens to me, you, or the kids that we will always be together. That feels pretty good to have found someone that loves you and wants you forever.

Thank you for taking me to the temple six years ago and saying You are the one I want to have by my side forever and eternity. That was the best day of my life. To have our lives start together and forever.
I love you so much. Thanks for seeing me the way that you do. I couldn't be happier. You are the best

Happy anniversary 2009

Could it get any better???

I see this picture and I think could it get any better? I mean really???

The last few weeks have been busy and crazy. Allot of ups and downs. David has been working so hard and work so he has been putting in extra hours. He is doing amazing things though for his department so I am so proud of him. Dawson has hit a phase that I would like to fast forward to a few months when he is out of it. we are trying to potty train Landon. He is doing well but he has had a few days in there. Luckily I think the end on his accidents are nearing the end. Brooklyn is being her cute self. Keeping us on our toes. Through her little tactics it reminds me to just keep laughing. She is super excited because she gets to move up to a dance class with the big five year old. So cute

So this weekend seemed to come and go to fast. It was a weekend were I was gone Friday night. David had plans with his friends Saturday night. Saturday and Friday afternoon were busy. Then it was Easter and that was filled with activities. So today being Monday I decided that for family night we were going to throw dinner in the car and head to the beach. It was so nice to be there. We had a good picnic on the beach.

The kids pkayed in the sand a little in the water. Dawson loved throwing the sand and scooting on his tummy all over the sand. It was great.

The other best part of the night was being able to just sit and relax with the one that means more to me than anything. Drum roll please David. He is the greatest. He has been working so hard at work and at home. He is so good with the kids and seeing when I need a break. He is always making me laugh. He always makes me realize that I can do things. He is always reminding me to stop take a breath it is going to be okay.

Love this man

Thanks family for a great night. It was fun to get out all together and play. Now that the weather is nice lets get to the beach more.

Easter Time Fun

Happy Easter every one. I hope you had a great Easter. Our family had the usual dye Easter eggs, see the Easter bunny, go to church, and have a nice dinner.

The play place on base had the Easter bunny there on Saturday we took the kids up there for lunch and to see the bunny. Brooklyn was the only one brave enough to give the bunny a hug. The kids were excited to see there baskets. It is funny because they didn't really seem to grasp the Easter bunny.Brooklyn liked seeing him. The kids liked dying the Easter eggs and they liked there baskets. They were a little confused to see the eggs we colored plus other eggs. All in all we had a great day. Brooklyn had a pretty dress and the boys looked very handsome. It was a great Easter. Next time I will make a promise like I do every year to not buy so much candy.

Enjoy the pictures.

Happy Easter

Drawing the perfect picture.

What cup do I throw the egg into now???

The hunt is on

Found One

Even Dawson got and Egg

Catch Up

well we have been busy busy. Just as one things settles down there is something else. So we have been up to allot of playing, injuries, and some more playing

The other day the bowling alley on base had free bowling. You can never go wrong with a free game of bowling. So we headed over there with some friends. It was allot of fun. Brooklyn was a great bowler. Landon used his strong muscles and Dawson was into everything that he wasn't suppose to.

Totally cosmic Bowling

Snazzy outfit Landonn

(yes he dressed himself that day)

Finally it is mine all mine.

I have gotten a new jogging stroller thanks to my Friend Angie. I have been going jogging at night after the kids are in bed. Now I am just starting out. It has been so nice to be by myself at night and get some good exercises. It has been something I look forward to all day. Anyway I decided to take Dawson and Landon with me when David got home one day. I wanted to get it done rather then wait until bed time. So we started out having a great time. Landon had put his arm through Dawson's straps and got his arm stuck. As I went to help him pull it out I heard a loud pop and crying. So we turned around went home. David took a look at it we weren't really sure what it was. Landon fell asleep for about 30 minutes. woke up crying in pain. We what do you do now? Well you either go sit at the clinic for a few hours or you call your good friend who is a doctor. Thanks agian deven. Thanks shirlyn for sharing your hubby when he was suppose to be home. So deven came over and said it was nurses elbow. He gave it a few good knocks back into place and her was as good as new. Landon was a real trooper. Thanks again deven for making a house call to us.

Poor Landon with a hurt arm
(before the doctor came over)

My friend Jamie makes really good wheat bread. It is so good so I asked her a while ago for the recipe and it sat scared in my recipe book ever since. So I got brave and decided to try making bread. So Jaime came over the other day and helped make the bread. It was so easy. I had to take a picture to show that yes one day I did make bread. I also made freezer jam that day to go with the warm bread. It was a yummy treat. Thanks for coming over to help me Jaime. It was so yummy and so easy.

Hot and ready yummy yummy

( I made bread from scratch Yeah)

On Friday David came home from work and said I have tickets to the symphony tomorrow I got them from work but unfortunately we cant use them because of some tings we had going on Saturday. Well I wanted to go so bad. Have a night to get all dressed up and enjoy myself. So I called in a favor of a friend and set up babysitting. We rearranged things we had on Saturday and we were off to the symphony. I tried to get some good pics of us before we went out on the town but our wonderful photographer Miss Brooklyn didn't have the flash on. She is just learning. She is a great photographer I recommend her.

It was a nice evening to do something we don't usually do. The symphony was great and it was a very nice time for me and David. Thanks Audra and bobby for watching the kids on short notice. You are great friends. Thanks so much.

That is what we have been up to in a nutshell. As you can see allot of playing and hanging out. Now we are off again to enjoy the good weather.
