Happy 3rd to me!

If you don't know already, Vanessa is inlove with Spongebob....so naturally we decked her birthday out by renting a Spongebob room with a Spongebob cake and presents.

Happy 1st to me!

I decided to go all out for Payton's first this year, and let me tell you...that was the first and last. I spent probably 6hrs total on her cake and 3 days shopping for decorations and a dress and she wont even remember it...I guess that's what pictures and videos are for :)

Payton's first car.

Happy Birthday to me.

Eggs and Jellybeans

We got to have Nessa this year for Easter which was fun. It' crazy how the holidays become fun again when you have kids.

Lions and Tigers and Bear oh my!

We took Nessa to Zoo Lights last winter for some one on one time with me and Joe. It was pretty cool seeing all the animals come out at night.

We decided that since we took Nessa there alone, we would also give Payton the chance to see the animals as well when it got a little bit warmer.

Vegas Baby!!!

Joe and I took our first trip together last November to Vegas! We stopped in St. George for a couple days to visit my granparents (which is pretty much like staying at a bed and breakfast with some amazing food) and drop Payton off while we headed south for some much needed alone time.

Happy little Halloween family

Halloween is just around the corner and it's probably one of my favorite holidays, so I'm super excited!! Last year we were bats and vampires so I thought we'd do something a little more to the girls liking..Disney characters!!! Payton will be Cinderella, Nessa will be Snow White and I'm going to be the Queen of Hearts. I'm not sure if Joe will join us, but if he does he'll be the Mad Hatter. Here are some pics of last year.

Yes..we finally did it

We decided we wanted to join the cool kids and start a blog ourselves.

Instead of boring you with our "oh so exciting life" I'll just hit a few main points starting with how we met..

Joe and I met July of 2006 working at good ol' not so good ol' Circuit City. He was the outgoing, cocky computer guy and I was the reserved, shy camera girl...precious I know.

After a long time of relentless flirting through competion and childish marker wars we decided to give "us" a try.

Soon after dating I became pregnant with my beautiful little brat Payton born July 30,2007 at a whopping 8lbs 11oz (after 24hrs in labor and 2 hours of pushing I ended up get a c-section..ouch!)

After the birth of our little one and trials of error we decided to move in together and start our crazy family which also consists of Joe's three year old from a previous marriage Vanessa.

We are so happy with the way things worked out and are saving up for our wedding next September in Florida.
