AJ's Cupcakes!

I totally forgot that I told my mom I'd post a pic of the cupcakes I made for AJ's party, so here they are!

A 'Boy' Birthday!

We had a very fun birthday! Yesterday we had the party with all our friends. Today we opened gifts that have been delivered by mail the past couple of days. AJ is now sufficiently equipped with boy toys! Yeah! Thank you to all who sent such nice gifts to our precious little gift. :)

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY AJ!!

Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear AJ,

AJ's New 'Do

I found yesterday that AJ has seborrhoeic dermatitis or cradle cap if he was a newborn. I decided to cut off some of his hair because it was getting pretty long. This way I would be able to treat it more easily. I just hacked it off because I tried to take him to the barber and he screamed so badly the lady wouldn't even come near him and he wasn't even in the chair yet! So I fed him jelly beans in front of the TV and went to town with my scissors! I think he looks so cute! He's saying "cheese" in this pic!

"Abigail What Do You Want For Lunch Today?"

..."A peanut butter chocolate chicken, please."

Like Daughter Like Mother!

Mom came to visit this week, we're having so much fun! She really likes my hair and has been thinking of cutting hers shorter. Last night she said maybe she should, so I called my hair gal and she had an opening today! So here we are! Mom wasn't quite ready to go as short as mine but this is the first step in the right direction. Yeah!

Nine Years

Today is our 9th Anniversary. It seems unbelievable how time moves. I remember waking up this morning 9 years ago to the sound of "Going to the Chapel" and being surrounded by my family and my favorite girls. Then 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Anniversary were spent camping and waking up in a tent. I honestly don't know what happened the 4th and 5th. For the 6th we were pregnant and had just recently found out it was twin girls, had all of Jonathan's family in town and were preparing for Jonathan's Graduation from college. At the 7th the girls were 8 months old and I think I was seeing light at the end of the tunnel, we had dinner in and just relaxed. For the 8th we took the girls to Coulon for the evening and dined on fish and chips :). Now here we are at the 9th and today will not seem overly momentous, we'll have a nice quiet dinner at home and likely go for a walk in the woods. We are heading to California on Thursday and will be counting nights spent in a hotel and unlimitless sleep as our Anniversary gift to ourselves :) For now I plan on enjoying today, flipping through wedding pictures, watching our video (thats right video!) and remembering. I feel so grateful and blessed that I am in love with the man I married and only have joy in my heart when I think of all the years ahead.
