2nd Anniversary 12/28

Kyle and I have been married for two years! WHAT???!!! I know that may not seem very long for those of you that have been married for much longer but hey it is still a milestone right??
We didn't do anything big for our anniversary but I wanted to do something so I wrote him a love letter that he saw in the morning before he went to work and while he was gone I made him this...

It is a candy gram. I bought a bunch of candy and cut out hearts to decorate a little basket. Then I made super cheesy sayings on paper and this is how it turned out!! :) 

Here are the cheesy sayings...

I love your HUGS AND KISSES. My FINGERS fit perfectly with yours(Butterfinger). We were MINT to be together (Junior Mints). I love you to PIECES (Reeses Pieces). I would be KNOTS without you (chocolate covered pretzels).  You're a STAR in my eyes (Starburst). You're a SWEETART. We've shared GOOD AND PLENTY of SNICKERS. "TWIX" (Like tween -between) you and me, you're the best. You are one HOT TAMALE. You're a LIFESAVER. Out of everyone in the MILKY WAY I'm glad you picked me.

It was a hit!! Kyle even let me eat some of the candy. YUM! Maybe I should do it every year! haha jk :) :)
We didn't get a sitter that night so we just watched Taken 2 when the baby went to sleep and hung out. I was just grateful to spend some time with my love. We got a gift card to Outback Steakhouse from a family in the ward and it included free babysitting so we are going to take them up on that soon and that can be our 2 year anniversary date. :)

I can't imagine my life without my oh so handsome hubby. He is such a strong, supportive, caring man. We have gone through a lot the past two years but it has just made us grow closer together. I love him sooooo much (in case you all didn't know). Hooray for marriage!  Looking forward to forever!! :) Muah!!

Creepy Crawley

For a while now Clayton has been a "scooter". He will get on his hands and knees, rock back and forth a few times, fall forward and then repeat. It was working just fine for him and he was getting places, but yesterday he became an official crawler. AH!!! It is just amazing to me! He goes all over the house grabbing anything that he can get his hands on. Now I definitely have to keep a better eye on him because he doesn't stick to one room anymore. Look out world!

PS don't mind the one sock... I did eventually find the other one after I took the video.

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving dinner this year we ate in Yuma at Kyle's step mom's dad's house. Did you follow that? Cool. It was sooooo delicious just like Thanksgiving is supposed to be. :) 

3 generation picture. (I promise Kyle has a beautiful smile... he just doesnt' like  to show it off in pictures ;) )

After dinner (which was at 2:00), we headed to Mesa for a few days. We stayed at JC's house (Kyle's best friend), but because we were doing family stuff most of the weekend we didn't really see him hardly.

It was an awesome weekend. On Friday we visited with Kyle's second momma and then had lunch with Holly who is an old friend of Kyle's. They hadn't seen each other in like six years. It was great to meet her and we are totally friends now! Yay for new friends! She is really cool. :)

Friday night we went over to Kyle's aunt Charley's house in Scottsdale and stayed for hours laughing and catching up with everyone. It was so great! He has a few cousins that live in the valley too that he hasn't seen in years.Kyle's aunt Kasey and uncle Jeff who live in Canada were in town and so was his Grandma who lives in Texas. Pretty much a lot of people were there that he hadn't seen in ages. (I had met them all at the reunion last summer, but Kyle was in Jacksonville FL so he wasn't able to go).

Saturday was all family stuff. We went to Scottsdale and had breakfast with everyone at a delicious place called Dottie's. Cinnamon french toast is always a fabulous choice. If you've never tried it...DO IT!

hanging out at breakfast

After breakfast I went shopping with the girls and Kyle went back to his dad's house to hang with the guys. I have never been a huge shopper, but it was really fun. I loved being able to spend time with Kyle's extended family.

we went to the Bass Pro shop to get a picture with Santa but the line was too long so we just did the  free carousel ride

For the rest of the day everyone hung out at Bryan and Connie's house (Kyle's dad's house) and it was such a blast. Connie made a turkey dinner, so we pretty much had Thanksgiving twice. Hey I'm not complaining. ;) 

Kyle and his Gramma Bo (ps I have her wedding ring :) awesome right?)

Kyle's Uncle Jeff does some photography so I asked if he could take a few pictures for us. It was too dark to go outside, but I am happy with them. I just love my little family.

Thanksgiving weekend was a blast and I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family in my life. I honestly don't know what I would do without them. Love you all!
