Happy Anniversary to....

US...

7 years ago today I said "I DO" to the most wonderful man in the world. A guy I have known since kindergarten and who became one of my best friends after he gave me a black eye in the 4th grade!!!

In the last 7 years we have lived in South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Arizona, South Korea, New Mexico and now back in Arizona. We have also welcomed 2 beautiful children into our lives. Although life has been a little crazy for us (deployments, TDYs, training, moving etc) I can honestly say that I wouldnt change a thing...

Thank you Kurt for giving me the most wonderful life!!!! I look forward to all thhe adventures to come!!!!

I love you Kurt...and look forward to MANY, MANY more years with you by my side!!!!

Always...forever...

Annie

our (aka KURTS) new baby:)

Her name is Charlie:) She is a BMW 335i coupe.

Not the best pic since it was late in the evening. Kurt ordered the car, it was built in Germany and he has been waiting about a month to get it.

Happy 7th Anniversary to us and say goodbye to the flight pay increase he just started getting:)

Kurt is out waxing as we speak (STS)...yes, in the 100 degree weather. Must be love!!!

Have a great weekend!!!

Here she is...

Lets go fly a kite...

Keegan and Reese had so much fun flying kites on the beach...and Keegan even tried to do it all by himself since after watching someone do something once he is convinced that "Keegan do it!!!!" I just love the pics of them looking up into the sky in amazement!!!! One of the kites was called a parafoil kite and basically flew on its own. I got it at Walgreens for $5...and highly suggest it for low maintenance yet fun kite flying with kiddos.

more pics of reese...

I know...poor Keegan is being ignored...but Reese was just way too easy to photograph during this trip. I am going to use several of these pics as her one year pics too...

My big one year old girl. My has this past year gone fast!!!! I truly cant imagine my life without a little girl!!! Every near nervous breakdown due to parenthood is totally worth it when you get to be right there to see your children smile, laugh, learn and grow!!!!

No...I did not set her on a bed of shells...she went there all by herself and loved it. I have had a few comments about how that was a mean picture. I love photography...but I dont torture the kids to get a good pic, I promise!!!!

Looking for shells with Grandpa

Enjoying the scenery

She saw her cousins writing love letters to their boyfriends/girlfriends in the sand and decided that she would too:)

Reese was IN LOVE with seashells!!!!

hair...

this pic is proof that Reese isnt completely bald. As a matter of fact her little bit of hair even got curly with the humidity.

yummy...sand???

So...you would think the tears in the pic are b/c Reese realized that the sand was gross. Instead she is mad b.c everyone was wiping it out of her mouth. She thought it was delicious!!!

Reeses beach adventures:)

Reese loved the sand...and was thrilled when grandpa buried her up to the waist:)

She also was obsessed with washing her feet off in the showers by the pool...as was her brother:)

the fam

here are some pics of our fellow beach goers...

my sis, brother-in-law, and my neices and nephews (and Libbys best friend too). I still can not get over how big they are...I seriously remember them as babies like it was yesterday!!!!

Thanks for a great trip guys!!!! We miss you already!!!!

Keegan, Reese and Boppa...

Keegan and Reese like their grandpa just a little bit:)

We're back:(

Back from the beach...and as hectic as vacation with two little ones is I already miss it...


The next several posts will be all of my favorite pics (be prepared...I took over 1000 pics in a week!!!!) The rest are in the process of being uploaded to shutterfly....so you can click on the link at the right side of the page listed under friends blogs to see all of them...just make sure you have about 3 hours:)

So...here we go....

to tide you over...

we are still at the beach...but after lots of pool and beach I am ready for some time doing nothing much at all....so you lucked out and got a few pics. LOTS more to come once we get home, unpack and get all the sand out of everything...

love

Annie
