Five years of bliss!

On the 24th of this month, my husband and I celebrated five years of marriage. I have to say that the last five years have been the best blessed years of my life! Five years ago I married my best friend, two years later we were blessed with our beautiful son, and yesterday we celebrated five years of marriage! Jared has been an amazing husband and a wonderful father, I truley feel blessed.
Jared- I want to thank you for always being there for me, helping me during the hard times at school, helping me out at home (with out you our life would be a mess!) We have had our ups and downs like any marriage but I want to thank you for being so patient, understanding, caring, and so loving (all the time!) I love my life and I have you to thank for a lot of the happiness that I have in it! Thank you for an amazing five years, I look forward to many more like it!

Buzz Light Year to the Rescue!

I took Connor to see Toy Story 3 yesterday, he loved it! He made it almost to the end before he began getting too fidgety to stay.
I let him wear his Buzz Light Year costume to the movies- you should have seen how many people stopped and smiled! Yesterday was a fun day, for both Connor and Mom! :)

Standing outside, about to buy our tickets!

Waiting outside the theater holding our tickets!

Waiting for the movie to start! (He was so excited!)

The movie was about to start- he said "Mommy, take a picture!" :)

These are some random pictures that I have taken over the summer, I found them way too cute to not share!

Happy fourth:)

We had a great fourth of July! We hung out with family and friends and enjoyed the nice cool day while eating some amazing BBQ! It was nice watching the kids bounce in the jump house and play in the little pool, they were both exhausted after! :)
Connor and my Cousin's little girl made some home made Rice Krispy Treats- they were delicious!!!! All in all the fourth was a good day- hope you and your family had a great weekend as well!

I have decided to run a half marathon. I began my training 2 weeks ago. I am not a runner- nor have I ever been. This is all new to me, the aching in the legs, stinging of the lungs, salty feeling of the sweat, feeling beat up the next day- Yup all new! The surprising part is, I'm lovin' it! Jared and I ran this weekend together and all though my pace is slooooow he ran right next to me! We ran at Barton Creek, trail runs are really nice :) So my training is underway and I plan on blogging once in a while and letting you all know how it's going.

There is a doctor in the house...

Connor has recently discovered that he wants to be a DOCTOR. He tells us "I'll fix you, what hurts?" Then he takes his tool box and fixes people, he bangs on knees with hammers, fixes toes with a monkey wrench, and uses a screw driver to fix your arm. Then when he's all done he tells you, "that will be five dollars!" I'm not sure where this child comes up with such hilarious stuff, but he definitely keeping us laughing!
We went to a garage sale today and found the Parents brand Doctor's box, filled with everything a doctor needs- it was in great condition and cost us only $1. We couldn't have found this at a better time! We have been playing doctor for the past two hours! :) Now if only this desire to be a doctor could last until college!

Surfs Up

We went to the beach a couple of weeks ago to celebrate Jared's brother's graduation. While we were there Connor got the opportunity to catch some waves with his uncle Tay. Jared, Tay, and Conor went out about knee deep and sat Connor on the surf board- when a wave would roll in Connor would ride it to the shore! He absolutely LOVED it! In-fact he is still asking to go to the beach and surf! While at the beach Connor also got the chance to play in the water and in the sand with his dad- I'm not sure who enjoyed it more! :) Connor seems to really enjoy the beach, we will definitely have to make a trip back real soon!
