Happy Blog-iversary to Me!

Two years ago this week, I decided to start blogging. It's funny how time flies when you're sharing it with whoever happens to stop by your page! I love blogging and I love that I can honestly say that I keep a regularly updated record of our lives. Although I will probably never be one of those people who can just put everything on my blog-- I mean all of the mundane, or sad, or heavy things that happen to us humans-- I do think I've gotten better over these two years in sharing actual pieces of me. So, in that spirit, I thought I'd share a few two year old pictures that you won't already find on this blog.

Ah, Gordy, my little devil! In the past two years, Gord has grown into a kid, but he still has crazy hair!


Thomas has always been our more serious, sensitive boy. He is becoming more and more outgoing-- in fact, this past year, Chris and I had to try hard not to be thrilled when Tom's teacher reported that he had a problem being a little too social in class. From the little boy who cried every morning for the first two months of kindergarten, we thought that was a great improvement!


It's hard to believe that Chris and I have been together as long as we have, because I still feel the same way I did the day we took this picture on our 8th anniversary. Actually, I still feel like we're the same two stupid kids we were when we decided to get married. I'm glad that there are some things that haven't changed at all.


Thanks to all of you who read this blog regularly-- I love keeping in touch with you!

Happy Blogiversary to you!! Cute pictures of everyone so little and young. Amazing what time does! And I'm with you on the not being able to reveal everything on the world wide web, but I think it's still great fun the things we do all reveal. Here's to 2 more years of great reads!!

And think of all the people you've inspired to blog as well! This has been fun. I was thinking just the other day about some of my favorite posts on your blog, such as the video of Gordon singing "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE!!!" I would love to see that again but can't remember when you posted it. Maybe someday you can compile some greatest hits!?

Those photos are so cute! Time just flys by so fast these days, I feel older and older every second, but thanks for sharing your memories with us. I am so excited about your new business. I wish I was in Utah and could come over for a little tutorial on Digi Scrap. No one will teach me!

So fun to see some of your "older pictures" since I just barely caught up with you and the kids. I am so excited about your designs! I am waiting for you to offer a photo shop class for iMac users - I would be there in a blink! P.S. You look great momma! Hope you are feeling as great as you look.
