Seven

Seven years ago today I made the best decision of my life starting a family with the most incredible man I know. Justin is always trying to please me even when I'm mean and cranky. He is so patient with me and my quirks. I love that he teases me and loves to have fun and spend time with our family. I love that our boys get so excited to see him and look forward to his day off even if there is nothing planned. I love that our daughter has him wrapped around her finger and that she lights up when he comes around. I can't wait to watch this next little girl do the same thing. I love that we have set goals and have been able to accomplish them together. I truly could not ask for a more perfect match for me, I could not live without him. In seven short years we have had so many triumphs and struggles and I would not change any of them because they have taught us so much and made us so strong. I know that we could get through anything together. He has worked so hard at school and work to take care of our family and allow me to be a full time mother and wife and I appreciate him so much for that. I know that he would do anything for our family and I couldn't ask for more. I am the luckiest girl in the world to have this incredibly handsome man to be my best friend for eternity. I love you Justin!!

LOOK HOW FAR WE'VE COME!

The Kids

A few weeks ago it was finally warm enough for me to go out and take the Christmas lights down. These three thought it was great that they could yell at me the whole time and throw toys out the window so that I could go fetch them. They looked pretty cute standing there all together so I grabbed the camera. However, getting them all to look at me and smile at the same time seems to be impossible so these were the best we could get.

I guess 2 out of 3 isn't too bad.

Izabelle is getting so grown up! She is almost 18 months old now and talking up a storm. She is so full of sass and attitude! Some days it's cute and some days it wears me out, but with those big blue eyes and cute little face she's hard to get mad at.

Dyllan had a carnival at his school this week and got to play lots of games, eat popcorn & cotton candy, win toys and get his face painted! He was so excited to go to school that day and even more excited to jump in the car and tell us about it.

He had the teachers paint a caterpillar

and a dinosaur. We also registered for Kindergarten this week which made Justin & I feel really old! I wish they could all stay little forever!

Yay for warm weather! My mom & sister invited us to go to Wheeler & Apple Spice Junction with them today and we all had lots of fun being outside for a while.

My little Miss Independent was so excited about the animals, especially all the ducks running around.

We found out the other day that she really likes tractors too, she kept trying to run away from the park because there was a backhoe digging a foundation and she really wanted to go see it. I guess the boys have had a little bit of influence on her.

D & Boom looking at the baby sheep. They were so cute squatted down holding hands.

Towards the end Dyllan gave me this face. He was hot and hungry, not in any mood for a picture.

My cute boys, you can barely see Peyt's eyes under his brim.

Bring on the warm weather!

T.J. is Home!

T came home from California on February 2nd and we all made it to the airport to see him. I took a lot of pictures so here are a bunch of them!

T & Leann

T & Pops

Meeting Izabelle for the first time

D was really excited

I think he still was a little nervous though

Elder Ford

My cute niece Brooklyn

My sweet nephew Isaac & Dyllan showed up in the same outfit, Shawn White of course, so we had to get a picture of the two of them.

Of course Peyton's tongue is hanging out, here he is with his sign

Some of the Ford boys, and the Boom

So good to see the Elder didn't turn wierd on us

D looks huge!

My beautiful little girl with her daddy!

It didn't take Peyton long to warm back up to T

We could not believe Izabelle liked TJ! Not because of T but because she doesn't like anyone, especially people she doesn't see regularly.

She did so great!
The boys with their very proud mom. I hope to have a picture like this someday with my two RMs.

The girls all made banners and posters the night before and we blew up balloons and cut up plastic tablecloths to tie all over and even a banner for the overpass. Everything was decorated really well.Welcome home Elder Ford!
