4 years...

Travis and I had our 4 year anniversary yesterday; I can't believe it's already been four years. We went to dinner at Ruth's Chris Stake House to celebrate. Travis was really sweet and had flowers waiting for me downstairs and diamonds waiting for me in the car. Yes, diamonds... I LOVE classy diamond jewelry. Travis thinks it is a tragedy to buy b/c it depreciates so fast, (that's my hubby always thinking logically...) but for me he will do it anyway. Aren't I lucky? It was really sweet of him. My earrings are beautiful with chocolate diamonds that he picked out b/c it would go well with my eyes. I would post a picture but unfortunately my camera won't work. (Dad, you left a day to soon. I need you to fix my camera.) We weren't supposed to do presents so the putz that I am didn't get him anything... sorry babe.

I'm not going to lie, our first few years were really rough. We are both hot-headed, stubborn, and "always right". I just can't help but think it's a miracle that we made it through those years. Does that sound bad? I don't mean it to sound bad... But here we are 4 years and 2 kids later with one on the way, and I'm so glad we've come this far. I am so glad I found you Travis. You are the perfect match for me. I know I drive you crazy sometimes but I love you more than you can imagine. You are one of the smartest, most capable, funniest, goofiest, most tender hearted people I know. You would give the shirt off your back for anyone who asked, and I love that about you. I know you would do anything for me and I for you. I love you honey.

PS. Psych about the baby thing I was just making sure you were paying attention.

This is a weird post but... Yesterday Kinsey threw all of the big toys out of her toy box and got inside with all of the small toys. Then she peed her pants. Doesn't that suck? It was quite the clean up job.

Hair Cut

Today we had the best "fall" dinner complete with, but not limited to, sweet potatoes, stuffing, and pumpkin bread... mmm... I LOVE fall. This, however, is not the point of my post.

Travis CuT Connor's hair!! WithOUT my permission, and I have to admit I cried. He looks so much older, and I just want him to stay a little BaBy as long as possible. He had such cute little baby fuzz hair, and even though it was uneven, thanks to big sister, I just wanted it to stay that way. I don't have a picture yet, but I will get one as soon as he wakes up and post it.

We really enjoyed conference this weekend with grandma and Katherine. How lucky we are to have the hope filled words of prophets and apostles of the Lord bless our home and lives. I struggled to keep my tears at bay over the course of the conference with the strong feelings of peace, love, hope, faith, and motivation to better myself and family the spirit of the Lord brings. I feel so lucky to have the gospel in my life, especially for my children. It gives me courage to know that although my kids are going to face... who knows what in their lives, at least they will have the knowledge of the gospel to lean on. I just pray that I will have the strength to teach them what they need to know despite all of my flaws.

On another note... BJ and Katherine moved here!! I am so happy they finally joined us here in AZ. He is going to work with Travis and they bought a house by Marianne and Clint. I am SO excited to get to know Katherine better- well and BJ for that matter. I haven't seen much of him over the past four years, so it'll be nice to get to know him again as well. Dad helped them move so we were able to spend a few days with him. We LoVe it when grandpa comes to town, Kinsey has so much fun with him! He is just the best dad ever and so very thoughtful. I am so lucky! I just remembered I have some pics so I guess they will be at the top of this random post... oh well!
