happy anniversary to us!
naomi got to play with grandma and grandpa d while we went on a fancy schmancy date.
dinner {with no high chair at the table - woohoo!} followed by a round of mini croquet. ha.

our first year of marriage was amazing, filled with many vacations - Hawaii, Italy, Niagra Falls, Palmyra, Philadelphia, Vegas... the second year rumbi joined the family and we found out we were expecting! we learned all things "hypnobabies" while we watched my belly grow, and grow and grow and grow... but year 3 was of course the best yet - becoming parents and loving on our lil sweetie day in and day out.

i have a feeling life just gets even better from here. i'm so lucky/happy/grateful/excited that i get to share it with this guy...

iloveyou steve - lover!

Yusss

I have finally joined the smart phone revolution! Hiphip! To commemorate the occassion I give you my first ever phone post and a pic to show how much husband loves my new obsession.

baby and bikes

our excitement this summer consisted of...steve completing his first LOTOJA - a 200 mile bike race from Logan to Jackson.
we are so proud!!
naomi's first "road trip" and well trip, in general, to support daddy in his big race

our first ever family bike ride

nay was a bit hesitant at first... then she decided she would be excited

and naomi finally fits into steve's favorite onesie {that he actually gave to his niece 3 years ago} but we "borrowed" for a bit.

so as you can see the theme here is bikes! we are sad that summer has come to an end.

now steve will be hibernating until spring and making me watch football instead of cycling. believe it or not, i prefer the cycling. he's turned me into such a nerd.

nay and i are sad that our morning walks outside will cease

but i'm excited for these upcoming holiday "firsts!"

having a baby just makes life even sweeter.

Hey you guys!!!

*i totally did not write this post. this is all steve.

birthday daddy

i took this video of steve over the last conference weekend.. i think its possibly one of my favorite videos. love him so so much. naomi and i think we are pretty lucky to have him for keeps.

happy birthday boy!

happy anniversary to my baby daddy!

iloveyou. like, alot.

one year ago

i can't believe we have hit the one year mark...time goes so fast!

we have been blessed to go to some amazing places and make many wonderful memories during our first year. sometimes, i feel like it must be a dream.

i have grown so much this past year and having steve by my side is the best part.

i love experiencing all that life has to offer, together.

i cherish this time.

i believe in love

this week i've been thinking a lot about how grateful i am for my {excuse me if i sound "seriously so blessed" here} wonderful and amazingly hot husband. one year ago, november 8 2008, is the day that steve asked me to marry him. in a photobooth, in kmart. it was so perfect.

you can read about the actual proposal here.

i will always remember how happy {and slightly shocked} i felt in those beautiful moments that happened all too fast...

thank you baby, for asking.

"the way i fell for you, i'll never fall that way again"
