Just the two of us.

These pics make me feel like newlyweds all over again! I've been planning on having some 'couples' photos taken for awhile.... I wanted some new ones to display in our bedroom other than just our engagement and wedding pics since those were over 5 years ago now.

Soo happy we got some done finally! I'm excited to have some current ones knowing we are more in love now than we were back then:) Once again thank you to Danielle Nicole Photography for capturing some pics I know I will cherish for a long time.

 

 

 

10 random facts about he and I

I saw a similar idea on a blog not to long ago and thought I'd give it a go myself!


1)We both have a major sweet tooth. It gets us in to trouble. We pretty much can't make a 'trip' to town without having to get ice cream!

2)We argue about who has to cuddle who at night....yes it's weird....but I prefer to sleep on my right side and he prefers his left.

3) Both enjoy going to the gun range and can make a pretty fun date night out of shooting targets.

4)We pretty much always enjoy each others company no matter what we are doing. One of our favorite past times is watching movies together during our in home date nights.

5)We are both pretty goofy and it works well together. I think Breyton has no chance of being a 'serious' type.

6) We both love the ocean. A bucket list item is definitely to swim with sharks. We may possibly be in a cage while they swim around us hehe, but either way it's on the list.

7) We've never had cable or satelite in our 5 years of marriage, yet have never been bored. Just recently we upgraded from rabbit ears to having netflix.

8) Sort of old fashioned in our roles in marriage. I don't think its on purpose just the way it works out. He does most of the yard work and I do the cooking, laundry, etc.

9) We went kindergarten through 12th grade together. Even were 'married' once in 1st grade in the presidential play as Abe and Mary Todd Lincoln.

10) Despite going K-12th we never were a couple in school years. However we went on ONE date and junior prom together, but never amounted to much.......until end of summer after senior year. Obviously things went well from there because 6 years later we are still going stronger than ever.:)

And now:

These 2 make my world go round....

Its November! Crazy. Because just yesterday I remember saying it was October 1st. Yet another month has flown by! I'm not a fan of winter, but I love Thanksgiving and Christmas!!! Guess this is the month of gratitude, not that we shouldn't be thankful all year around, but it can be fun to have a holiday reminding us  to be!

So in case I haven't said it lately I'm sooo thankful for my husband and son...God really blessed me with these men! Just felt like having a post revolving around how wonderful they are:)
With Mason finishing up school(come on May!!) and work he doesn't get to be around as much as we'd like, but I love the time we do have together. Breyton loves the time he gets with his dad playing rough and loud. Mason always gets B all riled up before bedtime when we are supposed to be winding down, but I've come to accept that's what  boys do! I love watching them together and I know there is going to be many fun times between those two in the future....Mason always talks about all the 'man' things they are going to do down the road and he's already so proud of Breyton. I'm so blessed to have a husband who loves me and who will be a great example of who we want our son to be.
Pics of my two loves since the beginning:

Man, this has been a crazy week! I have had some sleepless nights with my little booger fighting bedtime and waking up several times a night....thinking as of tonight I've narrowed down the problem to his 2 year molars are coming in! I will be so glad when they get through because we will  be completely done with teething for awhile, praise God! My little angel is in bed hopefully to catch up on some lost sleep and I'm going to be close behind......However, Mason and I are looking forward to a lot coming up, with 1 mini-get-a-way to the lake this weekend and our vacation to Florida quickly approaching at the beginning of October! This weekend at the lake cabin is definitely going to be a relaxing and FUN time with some friends. As much as I'm looking forward to both of these I kind of have a knot in my stomach about leaving B. We have left him few times since he's been born for the occasional over night stay with grandparents, but never for consecutive days in a row. I'm not worried about Breyton, I know he will have fun being spoiled rotten! Its myself  I'm concerned about!!! I'm already losing sleep over the thought of being away from him for 6 days in October, but know in my heart it will be good for Mason and I to go relax and have time together. We know from experience taking a toddler on vacation is HARD work....we chose to take Breyton with us to Mexico and I'm sooooo glad we did because he had a blast on the beach and we have memories I'll never forget! But, I think it's best we enjoy this one vacation without him=D That being said I hope Mason doesn't have to handcuff me to the plane to get there!                                                                                                Snapshots of today added below...you can see why its so hard to leave this cute face!??
