 Our family before "families"

 

Its hard to believe Jen and I are both married now and those two rug rats are about to be in high school!

{New Years Eve 2011-2012}

Yes that is my 2 year old son wide eyed awake at midnight. And yes he still woke up at 6AM!!

{A New Toy}

My Aunt recently emailed me that a friend of hers was getting rid of a nice "kid sized" play set. It was ours for free we just had to pick it up. So of course we jumped right on it! James has been having a blast! He even wants to swing in the rain! He's quite good at it too. Makes the swing go all buy himself and everything. The other day I was sitting at the dinning table when I heard James tell daddy "push daddy" followed by a "Noooo, push harder daddy". I turned around to see my two year son flying through the air 5 feet above the ground laughing and "weeeeeing"! That kid is gonna give me a heart attack before he's 3 I tell ya!

 

Of course the day i remember the camera he's decided to be shy

{Happy Anniversary}

It all started with a date...August 2006

And then a baptism...April 2007

Which obviously lead to a union...August 2007

Where 2 became 3...

Then 3 became 4...June 2008

But wait its not right, we need something more...September 2008

Oh boy! We decided we wanted more than just four...July 2009

That's our story...until we open the next door! August 2010

I started uploading a bunch of pictures of Tyler and I through out the last 5 years but I accidentally pushed the wrong button and closed the whole thing! I was so frustrated so I decided to just whip up a quick short story of how two became 5. In a few minutes my frustration went away and joy filled the space where anger had been. So what if the computer died on me...I had a great time looking back at all of our most memorable moments. While I am not going to redo it all, I will share this last photo with you. Whatever may shut down in your life just remember to always....
