6 yrs ago today...

6 years ago
see how far we've come

some of the things we love

to do

I married the love of my life. I know, sounds completely cheesy but this entire post is gonna be cheese central, so fair warning. I just wanted to write down some thoughts that I am having today as I think about the last 6 years. Have they been a breeze??? Most certainly not. Have there been days I wanted to kill my husband??? Absolutely. But has it been worth it??? Most definitely. I don't think when Trevor and I got married we realized how truly lucky we were to get each other. We were young and in love and it was great. But what has happened since then has gotten even better. He has truly become my absolute best friend and my life partner. Trevor is always willing to listen to and try to help me with any problem that I come to him with. We LOVE spending time together and are always trying to take advantage of every minute we have together. He will help me with anything I ask but most of the time I don't even have to ask, he is just already there doing it. He is a wonderful example of putting others first and always trying to improve himself. He has given me two wonderful children, and is an amazing dad. He is always trying to spend as much time with our kids as he can. Another thing I love about Trevor is that he is not just a sit on the couch and watch TV kind of guy. He is always busy doing something and we have got to do many fun things because of it. However, I do love those moments when we get to cuddle up on the couch and watch a movie. Trevor is always making me feel better about myself and he truly makes me a better person. I hope I have done the same in return for him.

So Trevor, thanks for the last 6 years. I look forward to many more. Thanks for the good times, the foot rubs (even though I know you hate it), all your help and support, and mostly for your love. I love you!

We R Still Alive.. I promise.

Every day I think to myself, " I need to update my blog." Then the day just flies by with no time. So a few things that have been going on here. We have been enjoying what little snow we get. Of course Keyton loves to go out and help Dad shovel snow. Seth had to watch from the window and was very upset he didn't get to go out too. Then Trevor and Keton made a snowman, so I took Seth out for a pic with it. We have gone skiing and snowshoeing a few times. Our kids love being outside and enjoying the outdoors with us. I actually took Keyton skiing for his first time this year and he did really well. He thinks he is ready for the big lift at Beaver but I told him he has got to learn to stop first. Over the last few months, Seth has learned to sit up, crawl, and go up the stairs. He doesn't relax for a second. Now we are experiencing the joys of teething! He is growing very fast. We are just having fun and looking forward to the summer. Hope you all are doing great too.

Cat in the Hat

I've been meaning to post this for a while now, but haven't had time. The week of Keyton's birthday, I had preschool and I did a preschool birthday party. It was Cat in the Hat themed and we had a great time. We did lots of Dr. Suess themed games and then we had a surprise visitor. That's right.... Cat in the Hat came. I know you are all wondering who that handsome man in the suit is... yep that's my hubby. What a good sport he was when I came up with this idea. I didn't even have to beg him. He is seriously the best husband and dad ever.

HELP!

Ok.... I can't procrastinate it any longer. But I think I need some help from all of you. Let me explain... Before I had Seth, I was going to the gym everyday and loved it. Then, the gym I was going to took away their daycare, making it impossible for me to go. So, naturally, I just quit going and paid the membership out. Now it is cancelled, and I am in serious need of some weight loss. Here's my dilemma, I can either join Fitness or Golds Gym. I've heard that Fitness has way better classes (which I am one that has to go to classes due to lack of self motivation) but the facility is outdated and a little bit scary if you want to know the truth. The daycare there is also this small room with no windows and looks like a dungeon but nice people watching the kids. But keep in mind... Good Classes. Gold's Gym is brand new, hotsy totsy, awesome daycare; however, I have heard the classes are horrible.
So, since I have been debating this for almost a year now, I'm calling on you to make a decision for me. PLEASE!!!!! Fitness or Golds??????

Happy Birthday Keyton!

Keyton turned 4 on Tuesday and it has been a week full of birthday fun for him. He got to have a family party and we had a party with his friends from preschool too. I made him a spiderman cake and he thought it was great, and we had a Dr. Suess birthday party with friends. He has been so funny about it though. He has a measuring stick in his room and he is still 3'4'' so we can not convince him that he is 4 years old because he "doesn't reach the 4 yet" Trevor tried explaining that he isn't 27 feet tall, but Keyton doesn't get it. So I guess he will be 3 for a little while longer which is fine with me. Some of Keyton's favorite things are:

- Wrestling his little brother

-playing Army guys

-his new Bakugans

-Reading books for hours

-He loves going to preschool and can almost write his name by himself.

-He wants to be a monster truck driver when he grows up and his truck will be named Lightning Bolt

-He also wants to be a boxer when he grows up

-He is still always good for snuggles, and tons of loves!

-Getting very good about helping mom out around the house

- Idolizes his dad and wants to be just like him

-Loves playing sports

-Says his favorite color is Silver!

Trevor and I adore this little guy and love getting to laugh at him daily. He is truly a character!

Oh my...

I just barely got Seth's blessing pictures from my sister, and as I was looking through them, it made me really sad. Why do babies have to get big so fast???? It's amazing to think he was so little just 6 months ago. I have to admit that when we found out Seth was not the girl I thought he was, I was pretty disappointed, but now I can't imagine my life without this little guy. I love seeing his face light up when I go to get him out of bed in the mornings, I love how he grabs my cheeks with all he's got and gives me the biggest kisses ever, and when I walk into a room how excited he gets thinking I'm going to pick him up. I love seeing him laugh at his big brother and try his very hardest to get across the room. I love how he smiles with his whole body and will give you a smile even if he is crying at the same time. I love being a mom and am soooo thankful I get to stay home to witness all of this!

I've Missed You...

Yes all of you, but mostly I have missed the ski hill! Trevor and I went skiing with my dad and sister yesterday and it felt so good to be up there again. I wanted to go last year but was barely pregnant and my husband convinced me it wasn't the best idea. So, first chance we got this year, we were taking it. However, I must say there wasn't very much snow. We were skiing over top of rocks and trees all day. But it was very worth it! There is no greater feeling than riding up the lift that first time each winter. I love it!!!! Although I am feeling it today... Gotta love the burn!
