Happy Anniversary to Us!!

Don't we look so young!

Friday was our 5 year anniversary!! CRAZY! It has gone by so fast, yet when we look back at everything we've done in the past five years it seems like we've been together forever! I love being married to my prince charming! Travis is such a wonderful man, and I am the luckiest lady EVER to get to be married to him forever! I made a list of 10 reason why I LOVE TRAVIS!!!

1. He is my BEST friend!
2. He is an amazing father!
3. He honors his priesthood.
4. He is TONS of fun!!
5. He makes me smile!
6. He helps me be my best self.
7. He is very HANSOME!
8. He is so charitable.
9. He makes me feel pretty!
10. He is my BABY LOVE! (That's one of my nicknames for him, just in case you were wondering!)

Now I just want to go give him a big smooch!!(Too bad he is working tonight!!)

Projects!

My list of projects is really long right now. We are in the middle of working on Parker's room, and have got the walls painted and his bed moved back in and made. So now we still need to paint the trim and doors, put up the 'Cars' stickers, paint his dresser and shelves, replace the ugly carpet, make a bedskirt and stuffed animal net, and move all of his toys out of the living room and back into his room! In addition to Parker's room I need to get 15+ anklets made this week for a nail salon. Plus, I've been in a really crafty mood lately, and have a long list of crafts I want to do! Here's my list:

Paint our bedroom
Refinish kitchen table and chairs
Refinish old wooden chair for Chloee's room
Make a magnet board
Make a centerpiece for my table
Make some cute, decorative balls
Dress up some plain vases
Make some awesome candlesticks out of a piece of 4x4 wood
Mod podge old books for decoration
Paint an old mirror
Re-upholster a bench
Spray paint a few D.I. finds
And the list goes on!

So I am really having to juggle and multi-task, so that I don't completely abandon my mommy and wife duties!! So I'd better get off and get something done!

Chloee's Stats!

Chloee had her two month checkup yesterday, and weighed in at 10.4 lbs, and was 22 inches long. So she hasn't gained much weight in the past month, but the doctor isn't concerned. She is thriving even if she is a skinny little thing! She had to get her first set of immunizations too, which was no fun. She handled getting poked like a champ though!

Children's Museum!!

We decided to get a year membership for the Children's Museum at the Gateway, and went for the first time today. It was so much fun, and definitely a good investment!! When we first got there, there was a ton of school kids there for a field trip, so it was pretty chaotic, but once they left it was a lot better. Here are some pictures of Parker having fun!

Parker LOVED the ball area. There were tons of tubes and holes to put the balls into. This one sucks the balls up the tube kind of like the drive-through at a bank!

Building a big block tower with daddy!

He also loved to go down this slide on his tummy.

They have a section for kids under three, which was really nice, especially while the school kids were there!

Driving a truck with daddy and some random kid!!


Chloee was content to see everything from the stroller and the bjorn! Here is her first 2 month old picture!

Bowling!!

Last night we went bowling for FHE. It was my dad's work party, so my parents and sisters were there too. It was so much fun. We played two games, and I won the first game with a whopping 121!!(I know...pretty pathetic that that was the high score!) Parker had a blast, and wanted to take everyone's turns for them. I didn't take my camera, so I decided to put some pictures from Parker's first bowling experience last fall.

Travis trying for the spare!!


Parker loved to lay on his stomach and watch the ball roll down the lane!


These ramps sure are nice for kids.




No pictures of me due to the fact that I was very pregnant the last time!!

Where Does the Time Go??

Today Chloee is 2 months old!! I can hardly believe it, it goes so fast. She is not a fragile newborn anymore. She is getting so strong and holds her head up. She smiles and coos all the time and is so happy and cute. Her 2 month appointment is on Tuesday, so I'll have her stats then. In the past two months Parker has really grown to love her. He is a great big brother, and loves his little sister. They are so cute together, and Parker is so concerned about her! It is adorable and makes me SO happy!

Blessing Day

We had Chloee blessed in church on Sunday, and it was a beautiful blessing. I am so grateful that I have a wonderful husband who holds the priesthood and can perform ordinances for our family. With it being her big day, we had to get her all dressed up! My mom crocheted a beautiful dress for her, and I made her a cute bow and bracelet to finish the look! I must say that she looked just like a little angel. Here are some cute pictures we took before church.









After church we had a little get-together with family and friends. It was really nice, but unfortunately I didn't take any pictures. Thanks to everyone for your love and support.
