....He's still got it....

The day turned out to be a really good day...I got showered with roses, perfume, a card, A REALLY nice lens he bought me a month previous, dinner and a movie!

Just Yesterday

I swear it was just yesterday that I was making a post for our eighth anniversary. Or maybe it was just yesterday I woke up early and anxious, ready for my big day! This was our engagement picture.

Man, we were so young and innocent. It didn't take much to make us happy. We weren't concerned about living on money, back then we were living on love. This picture was on our honeymoon. We went to a very "nice" hotel for the first night. We set the self-timer to take this photo.

We couldn't get enough of each other. He was my world and no other thoughts but of him could take over my mind. We would write little love-notes and put them in a secret place to surprise the other.

They say there's no such thing as a 'fairy tale.' Well, I have a little secret, you can make your own fairy tale. And when you start looking through your memories you will find you were right in the middle of one the whole time.

After nine years, I still feel the same way, but it's only intensified. I am so lucky to have you as my husband FOREVER! Thank you for EVERYTHING you do and everything you are. I LOVE YOU!!!!!

he knows how to Par-tay

We decided to have a family birthday party for Luke at the waterpark in Provo. His b-day is the 19th, but we delayed the party for the following weekend because Scott's older Brother, Conan & his wife Sarah with all their little kidlets were in town from Oregon. Also, Luke's uncle Kevin returned home 2 days earlier. My family was so gracious to come and join in on the fun too!!

He was truly excited and made sure we all knew it was HIS birthday. He was anxious to open his gifts and REALLY liked all of them! The party started off with a little bit of swimming, then lunch, more swimming, cake/ice-cream & presents, and then finally more swimming.

yes.....I know the best way to a man's heart ;)

Thank you for coming everyone, we had a great time!!

Pioneer Day

Since we didn't buy our own fireworks and light them for the fourth of July, we made sure we got some for the 24th. ALL of Scott's family was together, including his youngest brother Kevin who just returned from his mission to London, England.

It was a lot of fun and we really enjoyed each other's company! There was lots of people....so, lots of entertainment and lots of things to do. The last time we were all together was when we sent Kevin off on his mission. It's always great to reunite.

LUKE is 3!

July 4th 2009

Traditions.....still love 'em. Went to the Parade in the morning, bbq in the afternoon, derby and the fireworks show at night!

That's Scottie throwing one of those pop-its. Ya, he asked to go to a fireworks stand a "few" times. I don't think I'll be letting any of those babies get in his hands anytime soon. I could just see it now....Scottie Brown...the firestarter!

Wish I could say I took some pictures at the derby, but at that point in time I was way too fatigued to be lugging around my big camera. I could have just taken some pic's with my point and shoot camera....if I only had a brain.
