Happy Birthday Becky!

I can't believe we've been SILs for almost two years!! So grateful to have you in my life and looking forward to more years together and to growing closer as the years fly by! Can't wait to be an auntie to your precious babies one day and to maybe, one day far, far away, give them cousins :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS!!

Happy Birthday Grandma Carol!

Carol is TJ's maternal grandmother and has been a blessing to both of us. 

Thank you for all you do and hope you have a wonderful birthday!! 

:)

Happy Birthday Noah, Jonah and Leah!!

TJ and I spent the past weekend celebrating the triplet's first birthday :) Well, we had their birthday party, and today, the 14th is their actual birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET BABIES!!

I can't believe a whole year has passed... I kept asking them to please slow down, but I'm not sure they listened. :(

Here are some pictures of their cute faces to make your day week LIFE better.

Noah

 

Jonah

Leah

TJ and I 

From the whole weekend, this is the only picture I took of us together and there is lots of glare to ruin the picture, but oh well. 

Oh and this is TJ and my brother, Ricky, together. I think its their first picture together, ever. Ricky had loaned TJ this jacket as a joke (we were going to a hockey game) and Ricky thought it was hilarious. I just had to get a picture. 

Note: There are fewer pictures of Noah because that sweet little booger will not sit still for a picture! LOL... I do love his rambunctious personality though. :)

Happy Birthday TJ!

This is my favorite picture of us.

And maybe my favorite picture of you.

Because I'm in it.

And so are you.

And we're together.

The way it should be.

I love you my dearest

My sweetie pie

My snookums.

You are my best friend

My shoulder to cry on

My enduring listener.

You are my first thought 

My biggest source of worry

and fear

Of losing you.

Here's the part

where you say

"Don't fret."

So I don't.

You are my husband

My lover

My encourager

My secret-keeper

My companion.

You drive because I hate to

You eat all the cherry flavored things

You share your pizza with me

and I am forever grateful

Because you chose me

And you've never turned back.

And neither will I.

Forever means forever.

I'll love you forever.

Happy birthday, 

young 'un.

How old are you again?

Happy 1st Anniversary to Becky and John!! 

Love them both! Becky was a bridesmaid in my wedding and John was my ring bearer (you read it right)! Becky is my husband's sister, so that makes us in-laws! :) Which means you will read this every year, lol.  I'm so excited for them and wish them the best in all the years to come!  Becky's blog is at The Life of Mrs. Gorton :)
