SLACKER...but better late than never

I've been so behind in my posts lately, so bare with me with all the "catch-ups"...



1.) 5 Years of Happiness.



On July 2, 2004 Chris and I were married for time and all eternity! And we couldn't be happier!!! Since that wonderful day so many blessings have come our way, and there is no one in the whole world that I would rather enjoy them with than Chris. He is a wonderful husband, father, and friend and I feel so blessed that he chose ME!!!

Which brings me to #2) Happy 30th Babe!!!!


I can't believe my man is the big 30! July 16th is a very special day for me, I love celebrating the birth of my sweetie! (Sorry it's so mushy)

3.) ZACH- 18 months... FINALLY


I can't believe my little man is 18 months. He is growing up so fast I can't slow him down. Each day there is something new he has discovered. He is having a major vocabulary explosion right now and I love it. Some words need my translation but he is quite the little talker, I should have known when he was saying Mama at barely 6 months. Can't wait to hear what he has to say next... Here he is doing his favorite game... climbing under the chairs and hanging off the floor...WHAT??

4.) River Olympics 2009
Yes, we had our annual river Olympics this year at our friends the Hoke's river house. It was ultra fun and super relaxing (like my adjectives?) because we had ZERO kiddos there. Yes, I parted with Zach for longer than a few hours. It was very weird at first, but then I started to get used to it and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I loved just being able to do what "I"wanted to do: long boat rides, reading a book, having normal conversations, floating down the river, and staying up late playing games or just talking. But without a doubt the River would not be the same without some crazy ideas. Here are a few of the insane things the guys schemed up this year.
You gotta watch this. Here is Chris being pulled by a ski rope tied to a seadoo going down their man made slip-n-slide, finished with a ramp??? Yikes... I was not okay with this, but it looked like fun!



There you have it; our summer in a nutshell...

1. HAPPY (late) ANNIVERSARY!!! I remember your wedding, I can't believe it's been so many years!

2. I LOVE that picture of Zach under the chair! What a cute little character he is.

3. CONGRATS on the boy! I think it would be perfect to have your 2nd child the same sex as the 1st so they could be buddies AND you don't have to buy as much stuff!

Congratulations on all counts! I say all because it looks as though surviving those river Olympics would be challenging!

Lynsey,
Your photographs are awesome! So vivid and they really capture Zach's spirit. You give me something to aspire to:)
