3 years!

On September 6th 2006 I married the most amazing man for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple! This Sunday we celebrated our 3 year anniversary! Word cannot express how much I love him. He is my everything, my bestfriend, my soulmate, and most of all my eternal companion. I'm so lucky to have Justin in my life. He is a wonderful husband and father.

For anyone who doesn't know we kind of have a crazy love story... I actually met him while he was in Iraq with the 222nd and we decided to get married even before we had met. When he was home on leave for 15 days he asked me to marry him and then off he went back to war. 5 very long months later he returned safely home and we were married. What a great story we have to tell our children and grandchildren someday.

Its amazing how much can change in 3 years.......
we moved from cedar
got new jobs
had two beautiful kids
and bought our first home

I just wanted to say how blessed I feel for having my husband and children in my life. They are the greatest blessings Heavenly Father has ever given me. I'm looking forward to forever with them! I love you Justin more than you will ever know!!!

Cereal!!!

Ok so there aren't any pictures to go with this one but I just had to share......
Well because Justin and I both work, my kids have to get up pretty early to get ready and to the babysitters house by 7:30 every morning. Max has no problem with this all you have to do is say his name and he sits right up and is ready to go. Oaklee on the other hand is impossible to get out of bed. I've tried everything from talking to her, turning on the light ( so mean) and turning on her cartoons. Nothing seems to work. So yesterday Justin discovered the magic way to get her up. First let me explain that Oaks is obsessed with cereal. She would eat it all day everyday if we would let her. So Justin thought if he offered it to her she would get up. All he did was open her bedroom door and say "Oaklee are you hungry? Lets go get some cereal." Up she went did a barrel roll out of her bed and sprinted to the kitchen. It was hilarious. So this morning I tried the same trick. I asked her if she was hungry and if she wanted cereal. She wasn't quite awake yet and started to roll and rolled right off her bed and hit the floor with her eyes still closed, jumped up as fast as she could, ran to the kitchen and stood by the cereal cupboard with her eyes still squinted saying "pease(please), pease mom pease" it was so funny. She is so cute.......
