Happy Anniversary!!

Jake and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary on Tuesday August 12th! It is hard to believe that we have been married for five years! We were talking the other day about our lives together during the past five years and it is hard to believe we were once poor newlyweds still going to school and now...... well, we are still poor students but now we have two boys and a little girl on the way!

We didn't do much on Tuesday as Jake had to work and I had my doctors appointment but we did manage to go to lunch together with the boys....funny how after you have children your anniversary's sometimes just aren't the same! Jake has been really busy with work trying to get the job at the U of U done so he actually didn't get home until 6:30 that evening and we were both so exhausted we were asleep by 9:30! He did bring me home a wonderful card with a beautiful message in it......he knows I love when he expresses how he feels about me because it isn't easy for him to do that! He also brought me home a big bag of reeces peanut butter cups which he knows I love anything peanut butter!

Hopefully we can find some time in our busy lives to go out and celebrate our anniversary together without the boys! I just had to let Jake know how much I love and appreciate him! We have come a long way in the past five years! We both have grown up a lot and realize the importance of being one in a marriage! I am so very lucky and blessed to have such an amazing husband and father for our children. He is a wonderful example to me and to our children and I am looking forward to spending eternity with him!

Singing Time!!

We were outside playing last night and Samuel found the sprinkler head to water the flowers. He took it on the grass and started singing and dancing as loud as he could! Then he would come over and say "look mommy I'm singing!!" He was using the sprinkler head as his microphone and performing for the rest of us. I am so amazed at little kids and their imagination. The things they come up with are just so precious! Times like this you want to cherish every minute you have with them!

Feeding my Horsey!!

Jack has been obsessed with horses for about a month now. He will not go anywhere without his horse.....we used to have another one but it is lost somewhere in our house, he has forgotten about that one.......for now! I am sure he will remember he has it and ask me where it is one of these days!! He absolutely loves to watch anything with horses in it, especially The Man for Snowy River and My Friend Flicka!! He gets so excited to see anything with a horse.....we even have been to the farm a couple of times so he can see his horses!!

Tonight during dinner we noticed that he picked up his fork and chicken and started to feed his horse saying "here you go horsey" and "that's yummy!" It was so funny to watch him feed his horse I grabbed the camera and tried to get a couple of pictures of him feeding his best friend! He literally takes them everywhere we go, the store, running errands, church, outside play time, bath time, meal time I wonder how long this fascination with horses will last?!?!
