Ice Castles

I have been wanting to go up to the Midway Ice Castles for a while now

T took me as part of our week long anniversary celebration

(the best part comes this Friday)

We had a blast- he was so good

I would suggest NOT going on a Saturday like we did

 This was my view the whole time

love these two

 The outside of the ice castles

it really is amazing

 Our family picture- not the coolest structure in there but it lit up

 In the ice slot canyon

 The ice was so amazing

and terrifying at the same time when you looked up!

8 months

Christmas

 We did lots of swinging- it felt so nice outside

 Hung out on Nana and Grandpa's soft carpet lots and lots

 Spent time with this crazy before he moved to Arkansas

 Santa visited- Navy was not quite sure. E just stared 

 Then they switched roles

 Mom had surgery- so I made the famous morning scones 

Not sure what Brandon is doing

 Christmas Morning picture

 E loved his rocking horse from Russia

 We  were spoiled

 E loved sitting in the middle and watching everyone

 Threw a baby shower

 Went to the cactus garden lights

Vegas tried so hard

not sure why we bundled E up so much- it was warm

 Container Park

 Loved seeing my sister and her little one, Navy. So cute!

 Proof Paige came and visited- they got engaged Friday

Yay for new sisters

It was so nice being in the warm weather!!!

3 years

Whew- we made it :)

This year threw us for a loop

Baby 

Me working after baby

T working on a thesis

T's trip to London and Russia

PhD apps

but I have a feeling things will just get crazier from here

I am so grateful for our eternal marriage

that even when I feel like we are standing in a cloud of stuff we have that light ahead of us 

T is a very good husband.

Patient

Goofy

Handsome

Does Laundry and Dishes

He gets up with E since I work early in the morning

He is supportive of my dreams

                             

(still obsessed with my dress and bouquet)

Love you T
