My Birthday

Birthday shopping- of course!
Birthday Lunch at Applebees

Bryce was making Bridger laugh so hard before our food came out... so I had to capture!

My two boys who made the day so SPECIAL for me! It was a DREAM birthday!


I turned 24 on May 28 and was able to celebrate my special day with my little family! Bryce took the day off of work and it was an absolute dream being able to spend the entire day together! It could not have been funner or more special! Thank you to everyone that called, texted, sent cards and e-mailed me... it meant the world and just added to "the perfect day."

5 Years

Bryce and I celebrated our 5 Year Anniversary (May 8) and it could not have been more special! I cannot believe it has been 5 years already! I am just so grateful for Bryce and for the amazing husband and friend he is to me! He just gets me :) and knows how to make me happy! I am very blessed to have him in my life! He is the cutest dad to Bridger and such a HUGE help to me! And.... he's very handsome :) Happy Anniversary sweetheart, I love you!

I was so excited when I answered the door to find these beautiful flowers!
I just kept looking at them all day- they are so pretty!
It's our tradition to go to Red Lobster for our Anniversary each year- it was so much fun!!!!
When we came home from dinner I found this little bag on the table... and I screamed! I got my "Little Blue Box" with the necklace I wanted more than anything! It was the funnest surprise ever!



MOTHER'S DAY
It was so special being able to celebrate Mother's Day in the same weekend as our Anniversary! I am so grateful for my calling as a mother- There is nothing that brings more happiness and joy into my life than loving, taking care of, and spending every hour of my day with Bridge! He is such a light in my life! I am also so grateful for my greatest example, my sweet mom who I love and adore so much! I just hope I can become even a tiny bit like her :) I am also grateful for Bryce's mom and for the amazing mother she is and always has been to each of her children as well. Happy Mother's Day!

Our Adventure Back East

So... we moved to Landover, Maryland for the summer (Bryce is selling alarms) and we will be here until the end of the summer! It has been really fun getting to know our new place, and it was really fun being able to visit Bryce's sisters/brother on our way out here (we drove... and it is a very long drive:). The part that wasn't so fun was saying goodbye to home, and to our family who we were able to spend so much time with! But we are excited for our little summer adventure here in Maryland!!!

OUR GOODBYES.....

We said goodbye to Bryce's sister Crystal and her family, to Suzanne, and to Katie (we miss you guys!)
Bridger said goodbye to Diamond
We had to say goodbye to our nephews Jordan and Josh- who are both leaving on their missions this summer
Bridger and Josh
They are going to be awesome missionaries!
We said goodbye to my parents and to Whins- we already miss them so much!

My dad was making Bridger laugh so hard!



Bridger and "See"-that's what he calls her!


OUR TRIP BACK EAST....
We traveled for three days- which was really fun!
We ate lots of snacks, drank lots of pop, stayed in some fun hotels,
had fun in the car, talked, laughed, and got SO tired of driving after the third day!
Then we were able to stop in Ohio to see Bryce's sister Camille and her
family, which was really fun!


Bridger loved playing with Taylor
The boys had to fit in a basketball game
Rob and Tara (Bryce's br0) were able to come to Camille's to see us and we had an Easter egg hunt with all of the kids- thanks Tara!
Bridger loved looking for the eggs

We had the yummiest Easter dinner at Camille's house too!

This is how Bridger looked 3/4 of the trip- HE WATCHED SO MANY MOVIES!!!

We were able to visit Bryce's sister Emilee and her kids too!

WE MADE IT!!!
We have been in Maryland for a little over two weeks now... and it has been really fun!
Bryce works so much, so when we get to be with him it is an absolute TREAT!!!



Bridger and Bryce doing push ups!
We built a fort, and watched a movie inside- it was really fun
UNBELIEVABLE
Bridge loves his bubble gun, so I just had to capture the proudness
Bridger grabbed a hat and put it on when I wasn't looking... it looked so funny, so I had to join in!
