An Anniversary... or you could say Zanaversary ;)

That's right, we have had this little guy for a WHOLE year! He makes us laugh EVERY day and I can't even imagine what our world would be like without him in it. To tell you the truth I don't even want to try to imagine my life without him...

So we had a pretty normal day and then when Dad and Lynnie were done with school we decided to go out to Mexican food... Zander of course got the authentic mexican meal of Chicken Nuggets and French Fries!

And he ate it all! The last bite was the best as you can tell, he stuffed it all in because we were stealing his french fries... Then we went and played in the ball pit and playground at Dairy Queen and had an ice cream cone. Then we came home, took baths and cuddled and went to bed. It was simple but perfect. We were all together.

This little guy is amazing. He has grown so much since we got him. He is so smart and VERY Precocious. He loves to be sarcastic and makes us laugh and smile and love our life just a little more every single day. He is sweet and kind and helpful... He is simply the best 3 year old ever!

Thank you V and J and their families for their support. Zander is so loved by so many people and he knows it! He is so blessed.

I just love them!

Even with their angry faces... they are so scary!

My favorite is when they play so nicely together. I am so extremely blessed I can't even put it into words!

Easter 2012

We had everything ready for when the kids woke up from their nap. Yes they both fell asleep, it was a long weekend!

So here they are doing the deed of dying eggs!

Then we ran over to the Lewis home (the river) and did a family egg hunt. The kids had a blast and it was so fun having a egg hunt with their cousins.

Jessalyn did VERY well for herself!

Zander didn't do too bad either

Overall, every cousin had enough candy to last a lifetime (Or at least through Spring Break!)

My loves!

And I promise she isn't choking him, that's just how we show love :)

Number 12 yikes

That's right. In almost 11 years of marriage, Jake and I have gone through 12 cars! Our plan is to stick with the two we have now for awhile, but I'm guessing Jake will want a new truck when I get a job and bills get paid down a bit! Anyway we love our new 2011 Mitsubishi Endeavor.

That time again...

Tball! Yes we are at it again and Lynnie is loving it as always! She is so good and I love watching her love the sport, since it is pretty much my favorite! (Oh and Jake's too)

3rd Base just like her mama!

And my poser... He was running around saying "Mom take this one, its cute" then he would run up to me and want to see it. Then he would run and pose again.

I have a million of these "cute" pictures :)

He started getting too far away but he assured me that they would still be cute, and lucky for him they are! I love these kids, they are so amazing and funny! I laugh constantly at them. The only problem is that they know they are cute and funny so they try to use it as often as they can!

We made Daddy Mad! hehe

Yep, we cut Jessalyn's hair while Jake was at a church meeting! He is obcessed with long hair and did NOT want me to cut Jessalyn's hair. But as you can see we did it anyway and I think she looks adorable. I do miss all the cool things I could do with her hair, but that is the great thing about hair, it grows back! For now, we love it and are enjoying the easy hairstyles.

New Beds

It was time to switch Zander into a big boy bed! So to afford a new bed for Jessalyn, Jake built her one! It is a pretty amazing bed if I do say so. That is one of the MANY things I love about my husband...

* We woke up Saturday morning,

* I decided what type of bed I wanted for Jessalyn,

* told Jake about it,

*we made a trip to lowes around Noon,

* came home and she had a new bed by bed time.

And none of that was in our plans Friday night :)

So while Jake built this amazing bed, I spray painted Jessalyn's old bed blue and set it up in Zander's room. He "Yoves" (loves) his new bed. And I love that at night we can lay on his bed, read stories and sing songs!

Here is the finished (minus paint) Project. Her room has so much space now! I absolutely love it, and so does she :)
