HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!





I've never written on this thing but I had to tell you all that today marks the day that my wife and I were married for time and for all of sweet eternity! 9 years my wife has put up with me and I can honestly say they have been the best nine years of my life and I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. She is my everything and without her I am nothing and I think that most people who know us, believe that to be true. There isn't a better wife/mother/sister/daughter/friend out there in this world and I'm soooooo lucky to have her in my life. Thank you for all that you do for me and OUR beautiful family. I love you. (for eternity whether you like it or not :P )




Love, Jason

PS-We can celebrate when I'm done with boards. :)

9th Wedding Anniversary

Jason and I were married 9 years ago today, June 23, 1999 (that is not a typo, I was married in the 90's) in the Salt Lake Temple. It was a beautiful day! (hot with wind, sounds like Iowa in the summer.)






It has been a wonderful 9 years with lots of fun, learning, and growing together.

Even though we loved each other 9 years ago, we both agree our love is stonger today.





Happy Anniversary Honey! I Love You!

Update

Wow, it has been a long time since I have posted. We have been having a great time in Utah. The weather has not been that great but I am really glad I was not Iowa when the sirens sounded, SCARY! (Jason called to tell me and then I worried all night).

We miss all of our friends and sad that we didn't get to see some of you for the last time. We hope everyone is doing well wherever you maybe, either on vacation or in your new homes.


I have been reading everyone elses blogs but haven't updated ours, so here it is.



Before we left Iowa Madi went to nursery for the first time and hasn't looked back. She walked right in, infact her first three times in nursery were all at different wards but she didn't care. She loves it.



We also went to the Farmers Market before we left. We love going there as a family and we will miss it, but we will be back for the corn. yummy!




I want to thank my brother and sister-in-law for letting us fly home with them. It turned out really nice because both Madilynn and Olivia got there own seat which helped them to sit still. It was even nicer that Brandt took Savannah and Madilynn and entertained them on the plane, while I sat by Olivia and his wife. Thank you uncle Brandt.


Memorial Weekend we went up to Bear Lake to help my Dad clean his cabin so it would be ready for the carpet. We had fun with family and Savannah even had her first horse ride, Madi was to scared.


We have going to the park, going on walks, Savannah has been riding her training wheel bike and loves it, playing outside (in a fenced yard, love it.)


We have been to baby showers, my girls will have 5 new cousins this summer, 3 of them in July.


Visiting family and friends.



My baby turned 6 months, it is really sad how fast they grow up.

Savannah went and saw her first movie in a theather (I know she is a deprived child), "Horton Hears a Who". She went with her grandpa and grandma Gardner and loved it especailly eating popcorn with her grandpa.





Kangaroo Zoo, an indoor blow-up playground.



Swimming lessons for Savannah, she is doing really well so far there have been no tears.




Sunday we went to Temple Square, there is always such a peaceful feeling there we love it.
We also went to the Salt Lake Cemetery to see President Hinkley's grave.


Best of all Jason decided to take his tests in Utah and so he is here now instead of being away for 3 more weeks. He thought he was stonger but he missed his girls too much, and we missed him.


Well there is a quick view of what we have been up to. Does anyone have any fun things they like to do when they go home?
