The Highlights of our lives

To preserve our family memories for years to come, this next post is going to be some of the highlights of the past few months.

Jacob and I celebrated our 4th Anniversary!
I can't believe how fast the time has gone. I feel so lucky to have married my best friend and I am soooo excited for an eternity with the love of my life!
I love you babe!
Happy Anniversary!
In April Addi and I flew to Utah to be with family. Jacob wasn't able to come due to school :( but Addi and I were very grateful we could see everyone again.
There aren't very many pictures from our trip home because I seem to always forget to take them, but here are the few I do have.

Addi and grandpa trying to figure something out.

Mom, Wendy, Dad, Addi at my grandparents house.
This is where Addison learned her slippery fish song, thanks to my cousin Nat, and the help of some very slippery fish actors (see video at the bottom :)

We were able to go to the temple

And Aunt Wendy threw a cupcake party for Addi. She absolutely loved it. She is such a little girly girl and she was in heaven the entire time.

A little sidenote: Addison loves shoes and she would wear my mom's shoes whenever she was able, hence the big shoes in this picture :) I love it!


Addi and aunt Wendy

Mmmmmm Thanks Aunt Wendy! That was a GREAT party!

We loved every second of our trip home. Thank you everybody for hanging out with us :)

This is a picture of another one of my final cakes. it was supposed to be two layers, but my top layer fell apart, so this is what it ended up being. Cute anyways.

Another highlight of the month was Addi's first pet.
We knew it wasn't feasible to get a puppy right now so we opted for fish instead.
This is Addi looking at all the fish and trying to decide which one she wants :)
Preparing the tank

Dumping the fish in...she named then Sam, Moosha and Lujah (short for hallelujah).
I love her creativity!

This last weekend we went to Cape San Blas in Port St. Joe. It is a Florida state park with the bay on one side of the road and the gulf of Mexico on the other. It is absolutely beautiful! This was probably our favorite day trip since being in Florida.

We did a ton of snorkeling for shells and other fun creatures.
We found a rare sea shell too!

We also went to the grand opening of the new airport. This means that we can fly home for cheaper and you can visit us for cheaper! Let's do the shout hooray dance as Addi would say!
Addi loved getting her face painted.
