Sadie

Josh and I got to have a sleepover with this cutie last weekend while her mommy and daddy moved. Meet our niece, Sadie Mae.

Isn't she precious?! We love her so much. I have never known a kid her age to be so animated and enthusiastic. She is HILARIOUS!! If our kids are half as smart and funny as she is, I will be a happy camper!

I am dumb and only took this one picture the whole time we had her...

We watched Snow White in our room while having treats and soda. It doesn't take much to please this girl! We also went to the park, McDonald's for lunch and to play on their playground (remember when you were little how you thought that playplace was so huge? Well I've learned that I can barely even squeeze in it anymore haha!), and took her to my parents house to see the dogs and kitties.

Thank you for wanting to spend the weekend with us Sadie! You kept us laughing the whole time! And thank you Jason and Heidi for trusting us enough to let us babysit. We had so much fun and we'll do it again anytime!!

For My Dad

It was this guy's birthday last week...I am a little late wishing him a happy birthday on here! Happy Happy Birthday Daddy-O!

I love my dad...I am definitely a daddy's girl. I have been thinking about my dad a lot lately. The first reason is because he recently lost his dad. I am so grateful that my cute grandpa was healthy and able to attend my wedding! Look at how cute he was...probably one of the sweetest, most giving, caring, and loving men that ever existed. He will be missed by so many people but I am so grateful to know that we will all be with him again. (I wish I had a better picture of him.)

It seems like Josh and I have attended too many funerals lately. In fact, Josh's aunt passed away the same night as my grandpa, and her funeral was the exact same day as his. So Josh and I had to split up. I attended my grandfather's, he attended his aunt's. I wish I could have attended both. It has been an interesting few months, to say the least! But the Plan of Salvation is such an amazing gift that we have! And it is so comforting to know that, even their time here on earth is over, it is not the end for any of us!

There is another reason I have been thinking about my dad...Someone who has become very close to me recently told me that his father passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack when he was just 52 years old. My dad just turned 52. (I'm sure he wants everyone to know exactly how old he is haha!) When he was telling me about the loss of his father, it hit me like a brick wall! That's the same age as my dad! Holy cow...like can be cut short at seriously ANY moment! None of us know how or when its going to happen. All we know is that it will.

I love you Daddy! I'm so grateful that you're my dad! Couldn't ask for a better one :)

Good News!

We're Back!!!

I know. I disappeared for a while. But I am making a goal to be better about posting the significant things that happen in our lives. Truthfully, not that many significant things have happened. But still! So... since I'm sure most of you don't even really care... prepare to hear a lot more from us! :)

Time and All Eternity

We got our wedding photos a few weeks ago. It has taken me a little while to get them posted, but I'm excited to share them! All photos were taken by Vanessa Rae Photography...she is so fantastic and we couldn't be more pleased with the way our photos turned out! These are some of my favorites.

This post will be mostly photos...I think they pretty much speak for themselves :)

He is so handsome!! I'm pretty proud that he is my husband :)

The family minus Tyler

The family minus Jordan

Unfortunately, a couple of our siblings couldn't be there on our wedding day...We missed them so much but we know that they were both where they needed to be, doing what they needed to be doing! We love them both!

Look at that crowd of people who came to support us on our special day...we are so lucky to have such amazing people in our lives. We love you all and are so grateful that you would take time to spend this day with us!
