Just the 3 of us

Sorry I've been away for so long! Being a mom is busy! I feel like I'm always waiting for her to fall asleep so I can get work done or waiting for her to wake up so I can feed her and I end up getting nothing done! I have to figure this whole baby thing out.

It's only been about 3 weeks, but I feel like McKinlee's been in our family since the beginning. She is just the sweetest little thing and I think being a family of 3 suits us :)

Oh, and today is our 2 year anniversary :)
I feel so lucky to be with the man of my dreams and that we have a beautiful, healthy baby girl.
Have a good week!

One Year Baby!

Anniversary!

So we really celebrated over this weekend since today is Sunday.

On Friday I booked us a hotel in 

Idaho Falls-

exciting right?

We started the weekend when he got home from work at 4. 

The house was clean and I had already packed our bag. 

I left him a little note in our "Love Notes" envelope I made. That note directed him to get in the car and check under his seat for location #1.

Once we were all ready to go  we hopped in the car and Stafford checked under the seat.

 

He opened it and it gave him directions and an address. 

I love surprises!

We started to drive. It was so fun! Nice that we only had to drive a half hour instead of 4 hours! 

Once we got to the hotel we got to our room and when he opened the suitcase there was another note.

yay!

The note instructed that it was dinner time and to find the Location #2 envelope in the glove box.

We got back in the car and in the envelope there were 2 slips of paper..  2 options

for dinner! FUN! 

I wrote down directions to 2 different places with no names. 

BECAUSE I know him so well I put the price ranges on top of the papers.

He chose one and we got goin. 

10 minutes later we arrived at Texas Roadhouse!

I've never been before, but I've heard Stafford talk about it.

 We went big and ordered pretty drinks and everything :)

It was a lot of fun and the food was delicious. 

haha not a great place for me though seeing as I don't eat meat all that much.

 Wish we got a better picture, but oh well. 

After dinner we drove back to the hotel and had a fun night- complete with hot tubbing at midnight, chocolate covered strawberries, sparkling cider and games. 

He was so sweet to play along with my surprises and letting me plan the weekend. 

I can't believe we've been married a year. 

It goes by fast.

I love you babe! Happy Anniversary!

A year ago today...

Anniversary TOMORROW!!!

Holy cow. 

Time has gone by so fast! 

It was like yesterday that I had my bridal shower...  

Oh and let me tell you something so cute.

My bridal shower was amazing. 

My really good friend Alli had it for me. She decorated everything beautifully. 

Strung up undies and everything. Totally cute. 

When it came time to open presents I was excited about all the 

fun things that I got- you know, the normal things you get

at a bridal shower. 

Then...

A present from my dad?

interesting.

Guess what he got me.

haha He's so cute. 

It was a 3/4 length sleeve, calf length dress. Black and white polka dot. It was nice, but not something I was expecting to get at my shower. 

He really loves buying dresses for all of us girls and he's so confident in it too.

I think it's sweet.

So anyways,

a year ago today we had a dinner with all our close friends and family. 

Kristina is one of my best friends. 

She was there through it all..  helping out with anything she could.

LOVE her.

 It was a great dinner with lots of visiting and laughing. Love my family.

Come back tomorrow- Anniversary Day!- and I'll 

tell you about our little weekend getaway I planned.

ALSO..  I'm looking for more cute ideas to do for memories every year. 

Do you do anything or wish you did anything special to remember your anniversaries?

This is the year to start it :)

Hope you had a good weekend!
