Anniversary #5

Jacob and I celebrated our anniversary this past week! He surprised me with a little weekend getaway up near Lake Pleasant at Cibola Vista Resort! We had such a blast and we both really needed the vacation. It was a condo-style room with a full kitchen and everything so we baked a pizza one night and used the micro for popcorn, etc. Good food. Good movies. Good fun. My mom was so kind to take Aspen for a few days and we took little McKinley with us. Jacob has been putting in a lot of hours at work and I just started back two days a week this past month. Sometimes we feel like a tag team, I'm out and he's in and he's out and I'm in. Things are going great so far, if I could just get Jacob to get a little more sleep. When he's not at work, he's up doing projects around the house or working on the yard. Here are some pics from the zoo this past month and McKinley's 4 month adventures.

Aspen: Her favorite book is the Hungry Caterpillar and she loves reciting all the food he eats like "matermelon" and "siss cheese." Her new favorite phrases are: "Oh my gosh!" "What's up honey?" and "Crazy, Dad!!" She calls me by my first name frequently instead of Mom. She loves to repeat what we say. She sings her ABC"s and counts to 15.

McKinley: Constantly smiling. She may cry occasionally if she's hungry or tired, and that's about it. She thinks her sister is hilarious. She loves books, pictures, and music. She is rolling all over and loves to jump in her jumper.

Hey Sunny, Thanks for the comment! Your comments are always so nice! Your girls are SO gorgeous!!! I can't believe how well Aspen can speak/count! We really need to get together so she can teach Dylan some words:) And McKinley as well, Ledger is such a blob.. Hasn't even tried rolling over yet! he might just skip it altogether! We should plan a playdate! And congrats on your 5 years..thats so exciting:)
