Travis and I will celebrate our 5 year anniversary this week. I cannot believe it has been that long. Time has really flown by. I am so grateful I decided to take a leap of faith and marry him. He has blessed my life with love and happiness ever since. It seems the longer we are together, the better our life and marriage get. He is such a wonderful husband. He tells me often he loves me and he makes me laugh so hard. He is such a rock for our family and I absolutely love his perspective of life. He is my best friend who I can talk to about anything and who I can laugh with. We have been so blessed with 2 incredible and amazing spirits. It has been so fun to walk these 5 years next to Travis! Here's to many more years of walking side by side:)

Adelyn started dance this month. She is taking it from Lindsey who is a girl who I did drill team with in High School and who's mom taught me to dance at age 3. It is so fun to see her get so excited about it. We went and bought her her first pink ballet shoes.
She also started her first day of school on the 9th. We are doing joy school this (too expensive and she has 2 years of preschool). She loves that she goes to school but sad it is only one day a week. She has already learned something. She learned how to trace and the lesson was on manners. Sophie, Addison, Jaxson, and Kendi are in her class. Sam, Sophie, Kendi and Addison were there for the first day. They did really well and they all seemed to like it.

Boston is 7 months. Where did the time go?
1. He kisses you by sucking on your cheek. Cutest thing ever. Its because we all kiss him on his cheek.
2. His hair is getting really long and even more curly on top..... can we say hair cut?
3. He's in 12 month clothes now- He caught up pretty darn fast for being so small I must say.

Oh, and Travis got put in the Elders Quorum Presidency as 1st counselor. This is our first experience with a presidency... and yes I said "OUR". I missed the ordination because I didnt know they did it all in Elders Quourum and Travis didnt come get me. I was so upset. He kept saying to me "its just like any other calling, so I dont understand why they have wives go." Anyway.....

August 2010

Crazy school started and we are not going back. It is kinda a weird feeling for us. Travis is not liking just working. He says it is hard to not hear any feedback about how he is doing like he did with school. He is still working at Metalcraft and the job hunt is on. We are applying like crazy, but with the economy the way it is... we will c what happens. Travis had his dare I say it 27th Birthday this month. We were able to open presents with Susie and Darrell while Darrell was down. It was nice to spend some time with them. On Travs birthday we had both families come and celebrate and eat cake and ice cream. Travis such as blessing to me. I am so grateful for the strong, caring person that he is and so grateful to have him in my life forever. Love you honey

Adelyn is still her busy, spunky self. She spends her days in the sun with Owen outside and they are usually riding their bikes. She keeps asking when we are going to move. She really wants to move until we tell her she cant see her Grandma Rowley or her friends like Owen. She is just loving her childhood and she is so sassy. I hope I can survive the teenage years...at least shes giving me lots of practice now!
She adores Boston and my favorite thing is to watch them interact with each other. They will look at each other and Addy will laugh, then Boston will laugh. So adorable. These are the moments that truly make for our wonderful life!

WAAAY 2 Long- July

Well I am waay behind because we no longer have our computer or the internet. I finally got to a computer and realized I dont have my adaptor for my pictures but here is the "stuff" I need to blog about.

Last time I blogged was in June it looks like. Since then we had Chase and Keisha wedding. It was so adorable and they seriously looked like models. We are so happy to have Keisha join the family. She just fits right in with the rest of us crazys. Adelyn, Reagan, and Riley were the perfect flower girls in their pink and brown dresses. The day was filled with stress for me, but happiness for my younger bro. to finally have his eternal companion.

We also hosted the Rowley Family Reunion at Grandma Rowleys house. We did it over the 4th of July and it was a blast. We unfortunately couldnt have all the family come due to the many summer events that require us to all be together anyhow. We went to the Parowan swimming pool and Jamie and Monica brought their HUGE waterslide to the house. It was so fun. The little kids decorated their bikes for the parade and they rode them down main street. Addy went about 1/8 of the way because she was on a razor scooter. I was thrilled that I didnt have to walk the whole main street with her. We watched a movie outside on my parents house using a big projector screen. All in all the reunion was a blast and I hope all who went had fun. The best part..... I dont have to host it again for another 8 years!!!!

Adelyn is lovin all the family time cuz she gets to see her cousins (especially Reagan and Riley). She loves being outside and it getting very dark skin. She lives outside on her bike hanging out mostly with Owen. She tells me everyday she is going to marry Owen. Travis keeps telling her to keep her options open. She was at Owens house a couple weeks ago (end of June) and the wind was really blowing. Their door to the house from the garage slammed and heard crying. I went out and Katie was carrying Addy to our house. Her hand got SLAMMMED in the door... and I mean slammed. She was crying and said she wanted a band-aid. I went to the back to get a band-aid... and then I thought what am I doing? I was sure she broke her fingers. THey were so black and blue. I took her to the ER and she was such a big girl. The Dr. came in and they did an x-ray on her hand. Luckily it was not broken, but it was really tender for a couple of weeks. She is such strong girl. I was reminded in this sad incident just how much I love my little girl. She is doing well now and all her fingers are working properly.
