TJ and I just celebrated our 5 year anniversary on June 25, 2010. I can't believe how fast it went by and how grateful we are that we are very happy and have two beautiful children. We celebrated our anniversary by going out to dinner, just the two of us, which was so nice and our gift to each other would be this deck that we are building for our family or should I say that TJ is building. I can't wait to enjoy sitting out there using our large kiddie pool (yes, you can find TJ and I sitting in it when the kids are napping), watching the kids play in our backyard and enjoying the evening dinners together. I personally can not wait to roast marshmallows and teach the kids how to make smores.
Our life has been a whirlwind. Some milestones in our marriage have come and gone so fast. Layna was born over two years ago and now we are in the midst of the "sassy two's" (that's a little nicer then terrible 2's) and potty training boot camp. My precious son was born 3 months ago and has been a dream ever since. He keeps us and his sister entertained with his smiling and talking. TJ and I couldn't be happier yet we are absolutely crazier then ever. I didn't realize how crazy you are when you have children especially two or more. Don't worry there won't be MORE for us. We are perfectly content with our two. Layna is giving us a run for our money already.
I am starting this blog for my wonderful family. I do not want to forget these moments I have with them. I want to remember every milestone and even the small details of my children's lives.
Tonight I write this after I put the kids down, listening to Layna talk herself to sleep and Hunter trying to talk back to her. Listening to them together, sharing a bedroom makes me feel so blessed. They are going to be so close growing up and I am looking forward to every moment of it!
About Me
- Tara
- Why a simple kind of life? Well, thats what my husband and I are trying to instill in our family. We are Christians and living a simple life is what God wants for us. I say trying because that is what we are doing. We need to keep that in the forefront of our minds as we go through all the crazy yet unforgettable days a family of four goes through. Life is very busy with a smart and inquisitive four yearold, active, curious, funny 2 1/2 year old and a new baby. As teachers, we enjoy our summers off with our children spending time at the beach, boating or just in our backyard relaxing. We know what and Who is important in this life, but we also can admit that we do enjoy things that don’t really matter like reality TV, good food and my weakness, shopping. All in all its all about balance and keeping God first.
