4 year Anniversary

4 Years ago yesterday

I married my best friend

no really we were best friends before we dated

I think the best relationships are built from friendships

It showed us who we really were

We show each other happy, hurt and everything in between

and because of that our love grew deeper and deeper 

and then on a warm 2007 June evening He asked me to marry him

in the sweetest way 

I giggled (cuz that's what I do when I get nervous)

then I said yes and bawled 

and we were married on Friday, August 31, 2007 

It was such a beautiful day

I will remember it forever

I will remember the feeling in the temple

I will remember the smiles we couldn't get off each others faces
I'll remember the way he looked at me that day

and I will remember how fun it all was

Our reception was at the Lion House

Cute picture huh

It was so hot when we were doing pics so we got ourselves a yummy drink to share

I think this should be in the Lion house adds or something

Right?!

Don't you think?

This is around our one year anniversary

We made it through the "so called hardest year"

and we have some amazing memories that I cherish from that year
and a lot of things we learned about each other, relationships and life

Fall 2008

We really do love to snuggle close

He was teaching me how to carve pumpkins this day

It was my first time at his Brothers annual pumpkin carving party

Such a sweety to get me into it

Halloween 2008

 

We loved playing racquetball together down at SUU

We played all the time like seriously at least once a week that semester 

We need to get back into that it was such a fun activity to do together

I miss it 

Lets start up again honey ok? ok!

Spring 2009

This picture is around our second anniversary

So so in love 

and if you are wondering the glow we both have

This is when Maddux was a little peanut in my tummy 

and to say we were excited is an understatement 

October 2009

When we found out we were pregnant together

I wanted to wait and take the test so we could look together 

and I am so glad we could experience that as a couple

It was very emotional and exciting

September 2009

Wow I thought I loved this Man before

But I don't think I will never forget the feeling I got

when I saw Ty holding Baby M for the very first time

It was overwhelming

I am brought to tears even thinking about it

We became parent together for the first time on

April 28, 2010

I love this picture it means the world to me

What an amazing thing to go through as a couple

We loved each other so much 

we knew it was time to love a baby
and raise him together 

On July 4th, 2010 Ty gave Maddux a name and a blessing

and it was so special

This was taken just before our 3rd anniversary

Wow I just grow to love Ty more and more as every year and as every day passes

He has taught me so much and he makes me want to be a better person

September 2010

We love playing with Maddux together

When Ty gets home and Maddux wakes up from his nap

That is my favorite time of day

October 2010

He even loves me through all my hair color and style changes :)

I think he even likes it

October 2010

We made it through Ty's first year of Law school together

And it really wasn't too bad

He lets me know I am a good mother

Even when I don't think I am

He makes me feel important

smart and that I matter

My favorite compliment he always gives me is that I have a good heart

He still makes me gidddy

And seriously makes me laugh at least once a day

I can't believe we have a one year old

Maddux has taught us both so much

April 2011

Ty is so smart 

and I love it cuz he helps me spell and answers all my questions :)

He is also one of the most caring people I have ever met

He will drop it all to help his family and friends

June 2011

He is the level headed one when I am all stressed and crazy

He calms me down

He cheers me up

He comforts me 

He snuggles me

He loves me through it all

and makes sure that I know I am loved 

Ty and Maddux are my world

They have my heart 

and I couldn't be more excited and happy about it

Here is to an eternity more together

Happy Anniversary 

I love you Ty

Thank you for a beautiful day, our anniversary date, 

the amazing yellow flowers and the little mermaid tickets :)

Swimming with Aunt Amanda

Again back in the end of June

My little Sis Amanda Slept over

My siblings like to take turns sleeping over at our house and playing

with Maddux I think it is just as fun for us as it is for them

I Love living close to Family again

So we decided since it was warm outside

it would be a good day to go swimming

We have Cottonwood Height Rec Center just up the road from us

Maddux and I had been swimming there a few times before

with my friend Amber and her little girl Anna

But we had never been to the outdoor pool

and I was so excited to try it out

There are 2 water slides, 3 different height plat forms, 

a high dive and low dive, a kids area with a little slide 

and lots of fun water falls, a big kids area

and lanes to swim laps

It is awesome

We all had a BLAST!

and Maddux especially loved having his Aunt Manda there with us

We will for sure be going back there very soon

Wheeler Farm Play Date

On Friday June 24th

 Another fun play date we did

was go to Wheeler farm

with my friends Amber and Stephanie from my ward

And their cute little kiddos Anna and Jonathan

It is so fun to have some friends close by with little ones 

close to Maddux's age
(Anna is a few months older and Jonathan is just a few months younger)

Because Amber and I started wanting to hang out more

Maddux and Anna have become such good little friends

We are always trying to do something

whether it be the library story time, swimming or going on walks

we thought wheeler farm would be a fun change 

for the kids

This baby goat was my favorite part of the whole day

He was adorable

I wanted to take it home so bad :)

we walked around to see the animals first and 

then headed over the bridge to eat some lunch

but then had to rush back over because they were having some 

flooding issues during this time

Haha I am lovin this face 

It looks like he is trapped

Sweet little Anna 

just sayin hi

One of M's girlfriends

He is such a lady's man

I am in trouble

There was this really cute play house on the side

of the bridge that we had lunch on

I think Maddux's favorite part was climbing up the stairs 

and just crawlin around like a 

maniac

We were there just watchin the kids play

looking at animals

eatting and chatting

for about 2 hours and it was so fun

I love getting Maddux out of the house

especially in the summer

I think it is so good for him to get out and learn

and he LOVES to be outside

But I am not gonna lie I also do these play dates

for me to get me out of the house and with friends so 

I don't go crazy

If you haven't been to wheeler farm you should for sure go

It is so pretty

(I actually got my bridals taken there)

and it is fun for the kiddos

It is in Murray just FYI

And I'll come with you cuz I love it there

Park Play Date

 I am still trying to get caught up on the family blog

so we are still back in June

We had some fun times this month

and a lot of play dates

I have met a lot of fun people through my blog

A mommy's life...with a touch of YELLOW

One of my favorites is Hilary 

she is such a inspiration and good mommy 

I just really look up to her

 I love all her ideas

and we found out that we both lived in Salt Lake

and I was so so so excited to finally meet and hang out

with her and her little girl Blayke

We went to the park

fed the kiddos lunch, watched the kids play

and just talked a lot 

it was a lot of fun and I am excited to hang out again

The Swings were their favorite

They had a lot of fun and so did their mommas

Thanks Hilary

Murray High Rugby alumni Game 2011

Let go all the way back to Memorial Weekend

Ty played rugby in high school 

and every year during memorial weekend

they have a alumni rugby game

And this is Ty's second year playing in it

It is so much fun to watch him play

Especially because I didn't know

Ty back in high school

Maddux liked to watch for the first half

but then he started getting restless so we went over on the side of the field

and watched from over there so he could roam around a bit

I love this picture 

They all look so tough

and yes only tough men wear short shorts :)

This is the group hug

Technically called the Scrum

Seriously Isn't he so hot

I think so

On memorial day we went to Ty's parents house

for a BBQ 

and then roasted marshmallows,

and made smores

While everyone was talking and 

huddling around the camp fire 

We decided to give Maddux a run at the tramp

He loved it and so did I

cuz I got really good snuggles and smiles
