5 Years and 2 Kids Later!

One of our engagement picturesOne of my favorite wedding pics
5 years later!
Matt and I are celebrating our 5th anniversary on Sept. 4th! It has been the greatest 5 years of my life! How we met is WAY different depending on which one of us tells the story, but in the end, it was love! We started dating in March of 2003, were engaged in May, and married Sept. 4 in the Salt Lake Temple! We hadn't planned on starting a family as quickly as we did, but wouldn't have it any other way. Matt is truly the best man in the world for me. As I've said before, he handles my crazy well. Being married is so much better than I ever could have imagined! I'm a big fan! I just can't believe how quickly the time has gone! I am truly blessed to have a great husband and father for our children! Happy Anniversary honey!
We figured that since it had been 5 years since we'd had a picture taken of us, and had never had a family picture done, it was time! Kelli Jo took these a couple of weeks ago, and they turned out great! I won't bore everyone with all the pictures, but here's a few of our favorites!

Congrats on your 5 yr anniversary! Hope you did something fun. Or is that part of your cruise this fall? I loved your family pics. It can be so stressful to get them done! It looks like your kids were so happy--like always, right? Way cute!

OK, it's time to start taking advantage of those beautiful kids and start the stage mommy business. You know, commercials. Beckett is just made for a Huggies ad! Really, they are beautiful!

We are still working on cruise details. I think we are going to finalize this weekend.

Congrats on 5 years. You guys are so fun!

Hi, remember me? Sorry I'm intruding on your blog but I think everyone in the blogging world is connected in one way or another and I stumbled upon yours. Anway, we met at Debbie Ingalls baby shower a while back, (I'm Erin Johnsen)and we were in the same ward for a while.
But I just had to say that honestly and literally, you have two of the cutest kids EVER! They are adorable. I remember London when we were in the same ward and I remember thinking what a cute, little girl she was. What adorable pictures these are! Seriously, I wasn't going to comment, but I just had to!
Sorry to interrupt, I just had to comment on how cute they are!
