My Favorite Day of the Year

May 29th will always be my favorite day of the year because it is the day I met Aaron oh so long ago. A lot has happened in the 11 years we have known each other, but no change greater than the blessing of our baby boy that came this year, just 24 days before our "when we met anniversary". Im not sure how it is possible but somehow you fall in love with your spouse all over again when you see them with your little one. Aaron is the best father a lil guy could ask for, and he is the person who keeps me laughing through all the late nights and dirty diapers.

So as we celebrate another year in this journey together, I am once again overwhelmed with how blessed I am to call Aaron my husband. He is the Godliest man I know, the strength and voice of reason that keeps our marriage on track. He is my sounding block and a never ending source of wit! He's the brains and brawn of this operation we call a family!! Happy 11 years baby, me and the new guy love you to pieces!!

Shout out to Taryn and Charlie and Nicole and Landon (they got hitched today!!!) who also cherish May 29th. Happy Anniversary! Love you guys.

Valetines Day

We are big breakfast fans in our household so although we wont be going out to dinner we did enjoy a VERY sweet valentines morning! It consisted of chocolate chip pancakes...shaped like hearts of course!! And...chocolate covered strawberries. Lets just say ALL my boys had a happy valentines morning thanks to all the chocolate, they're so easy to please, even baby Eli, who cannot get enough of the sweets!!!

October 4

Our anniversary this year was very low key and wonderful. Aaron took me to this amazing shopping center here in town, let me pick out part of my presents :)!! and then followed that up with a romantic dinner and of course gelato!! Who could ask for more?

Here we are on the patio enjoying the beautiful Tucson weather!

We may not look as nice as we did 2 years ago on this day, but we are still very much in love.

So heres to two years of marriage!!!

Valentines Day

Ok, so unfortunately my husband didnt remember that Valentines Day fell on a Sunday and therefore we would be spending all morning in church so he had a whole day planned out for us. Oh well, we just moved it to a Monday celebration. He bought me a new tennis racket (pink and white!!) and for those of you who know us, you know that the new racket came with a challenge. So we celebrated by a morning tennis game. It did not go well for him, haha. yeah right. Then he took me shopping, and of course out to eat. Could a girl ask for more?

Here is our table, and chocolate fondue set we used to bring in the holiday. And of course we couldn't celebrate without me baking something for Aaron, so here are my homemade cookies!! I was so proud of myself. That was the first time I have ever made sugar cookies from scratch, and what can I say...they were quite a success!!

San Antonio

So, after seeing everyone I ever knew in life, and attending a wedding of Aarons cousin Rich, we finally made it to our anniversary celebration down in San Antonio. Now I am a sold out Texan, but honestly I had never been to the Alamo or the Riverwalk and according to my husband youre just not Texan until you have. So to celebrate our first year of marriage and solidify my Texanness we went Southbound 35 down to San Antone!!

The Menger Bar was the place Roosevelt actually recruited some of the ruff riders!!

Here are Aaron and I in front of the same cannon, how our different pictures represent our personalities :)!! Hes always so composed!! Me...well not so much! So glad opposites attract. And the middle is us posing on our Riverwalk Boat Tour!! I think this is a potential career for me. All you have to do is entertain folks for a half hour and ask for tips, please I am made for that!!

And of course last but not least the traditional in front of the Alamo pose!!! I love Texas!!
