Happy B-Day Mom!

Hello... This is Aaron for this post. Well my mom's bday was this past December ninth, I can't believe another year has gone by. Time cruises so fast. We celebrated her bday by going to the grave to sing Happy Birthday with Analee and Charly, then me, Laura, and Jack went to Dairy Queen and got birthday treats in her behalf. I miss her so much, I am so grateful for the knowledge that families can be together forever. I am confident that it is not just some good thought or idea, but that indeed, through our savior and his gospel we will be with our loved ones for the eternities. When we go to my mom's grave we usually tell stories about her and share memories, but this time we thought for a change we'd update her on all that has happened since she has passed. Wow a lot of stuff has happened that she has missed out on, but I know she was with us in spirit. I love you mom!! Happy Birthday!! We all miss you very much!

Uncle Dave and Aunt Michelle came into town this weekend and we had a lot of fun playing Guitar Hero World Tour and hanging out. We went to the Suns/Knicks game last night and it was Mike Di'antoni's return back to AZ. I was so upset because he got a standing ovation and I was hoping that the crowd would have boo'd him out of the building. But, to my shigrin, we were the only ones in the whole arena booing him. Jack had a great time. It was also Laura's first game and she loved it!! Well... I hope all of our friends and family are having a great holiday season. Enjoy the updated pics

Happy B-Day Sweet Cakes!!

Well I wanted to get on here and tell my sweet baby momma how much I love her and Happy Birthday!!! Sunday was Laura's Bday... it was really cool. The festivities started Saturday night where we went to dinner with some friends to Cheesecake Factory and had so muy deliciouso food! Then Sunday morning I made Laura some bomb french toast and sang her Happy Birthday to wake her up. We had stake conference at 10am so that was cool, and the we were able to relax the rest of the day. We were able to sprinkle in a little movie watching with The Love Guru, which wasn't as bad as people made it out to be (Liberal Media). We ate some great frozen pizza from CPK and topped it off with a great cake! Then we went over to her parents house for more cake and ice cream... yum! Laura I love you so much! I am the luckiest man on earth to have you as my eternal companion. You are the greatest wife and such an awesome mother to Jack. I hope you had the best birthday ever. I love you.

Halloween was soooo fun!! As you can see from the pics below we were 80's rockers, and Jack was a litte bear. It was so fun. We went to a little neighborhood potluck and then handed out candy back at our house. My sis Analee, bro-in-law Charlie, and nephew nate came over and Nate was a cowboy, it was so funny. There is also a pic here of Jack's little friend Teagan, he was an ASU football player, what a stud. Anyway, enjoy the pics:

Prayers

Well I am not really sure how to write or post this because it is a little uncomfortable for me to do. I was recently diagnosed with precancerous cells in my cervix as well as dysplasia. This means alot of things, mainly that this could progress into something more serious. Its a weird feeling to hear the doctor say that I could have a form of cancer. I'm 23 almost 24. It is just crazy to me. I have known for a little bit and it has now just hit me. I guess things happen for a reason. Heavenly father only gives us challenges that we as individuals are strong enough to handle. I'm grateful to be able to test out my strength and faith in him, but also scared out of my mind. Anyway I go in for my biopsy on the 19th to see exactly what I am dealing with. I would appreciate all your prayers. I know that it my seem weird to ask for, but I really feel that I need as many as I can get right now. I feel lucky to be diagnosed with something that is treatable. I am grateful for Aaron and my family's support. I'll post any new updates, but for now please keep my family and I in your prayers. Thank you!

Sealed for Time and Eternity

What up, Aaron here. I just wanted to write a quick something regarding our sealing this weekend. It was so amazing! We had so much support, thank you to all our friends and family members who came to support us. Thursday night Laura went through and got her endowments, it was such an awesome experience. It was so cool to look over at her and see her in the temple, such a babe!! Friday was our sealing and that was by far the crowning point of my life so far. Laura and I walked into the sealing room and our sealer knew both of our families really well. He bore his testimony of eternal families and how special of an occasion this was for us. He went into great detail on how important it is to be sealed together as a family in the temple. After Laura and I were sealed together they brought Jack in to seal him to us. He was all in white and they put his little hand on top of ours and sealed us together for time and all eternity. It was so amazing!!! This past year has been awesome, but now that we are sealed I feel like our joy has been multplied by 100! My brother in law asked me if I felt different, I told him that there was more of a confidence and a calmness now knowing that we will be together forever. So awesome!! Anyway, we got tons of pics taken, but they are being developed, we'll get them scanned and post them up asap. But until then enjoy this one of Laura, Jack, and me in front of the temple. Holla!

It's our Anniversary today. We actually made it...haha. But all jokes aside it's been a fantastic one. We have had a lot happen in such a short period( I never thought years were short until I graduated high school, I hate getting older bleh!). Anyway we have had a baby, bought a bunch of stuff..including house and car, got into debt hahaha that ones a joke (Aaron would like me to reiterate that we are not in debt), and turned our lives around with a whole new perspective. So bam! There is our life in a nutshell. It has been such a blessing to add Jack to our crew. Aaron and I would not be who we are today with out that sweet baby! I also want to say what a wonderful amazing man I married. I totally lucked out in the marriage lottery. His rugged good looks tickle my fancy, he is such a help around the house, he has a work ethic that can sometimes drive my lazy bum crazy, he is hot...did I say that one already? And he is just an all around a good genuine person. I am grateful for him. So anyway I know that you are all dying to know the details of our anniversary, so I will fill you in. We decided to celebrate Friday because it fell on a Sunday. Analee, Aaron's sissy helped out tons by watching Jack and after we dropped him off we headed off to Cheesecake Factory and a movie. After a lot of wrong turns and traffic we decided to go to Charlestons to make the movie. We walked in and there was no wait which is freaking awesome! I had the steak of my dreams(it was marinated in pineapple juice and soy sauce), crescents to die for and we reminisced about this past year. It was great, kind of like playing the compliment game in a round about way...if you know me then you know what that is. Anyway we went to go see House Bunny, because I love dumb movies like that, and of course it was no longer showing. So instead we went and saw Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist opening night with a bunch of high school girls...awesome( Aaron told on them cuz they were yelling throughout the movie,hahaha!). It was ok, but since we love Michael Cera it made it worth while. Well to end the night we hit up Bahama Bucks( I love this place...strawberry colado and cream tastes like a dream in my mouth!) and picked Jack up and went home to sleep! Twas a great night indeed. I love anniversary's they are like mini birthday without turning older. Anyway if you read this much thanks for taking an interest in our lives! I am grateful for the people I have in my life more importantly Aaron! I love you sweet cheeks!

Me and my main squeeze



No one on the corner has swagger like us, hahaha

And I love this little man soooo much too!!

Birthdays and Baseball Games

Hello hello! Well we have been sooooo dang busy it is ridiculous. I don't even know where to start. We started off the month with 3 birthdays for 3 of our favorite peeps. My nephew Nate (Analee's) super studley boy had his 2nd birthday! He is growing so big and says the cutest things! We headed over to their house and had a big birthday bash 2 year old style. Analee pulled out all the stops. The house was decorated bubbles were popping, music was jamming (it was called disco baby...hilarious) and to top it off some yummy cake! Anyway we love the Culler fam and it was fun to get to spend another birthday with them. Nate's first birthday Aaron and I were still dating... crazy how time flies. The second birthday was my pops! What an awesome guy! He just turned 59. ..I can hardly believe it. He is still doing front flips off the diving board...I'm not saying they're good but a front flip is a front flip. We spent the day with my parents and had lemon meringue pie, which I had no idea I even liked...I think I might have been craving sweets who knows. But anyway there is not much more to say except I love my dad and it was so fun to spend his birthday together. Next was Adam. He came in town to surprise my dad for his Bday and then 3 days later his came along. He is a great older brother. Everyone should be jealous. We went to outback and got him some hair products with my discount and that was that. It was fun to see him get to know Jack better. Jack even fell asleep on him which is very rare! we love ya Ad! Well just when you thought I was done posting I'm not...haha sorry this is so long! Well for our next adventure Aaron's aunt and uncle Dave and Michelle came into town! I absolutely love these guys. We laugh so much and always have a good time. We went with them to the Diamondbacks game and sat at Fridays front row. For those of you who don't know it's TGI Fridays up in left field seats. It was awesome. Between the 4 of us we could order a 130 dollars worth of food tickets included. By the end of it Aaron was dry heaving and we all wanted to throw up. It was disgusting how much food we ate. Anyway we have been having so much fun! We are getting the house move in ready (cleaning, painting and tearing off wall paper attached to drywall...no fun) needless to say we are excited for our new house and a garage! Thanks to our good friends Matt and Kim and Noal Ba/Gary it has been going smoothly! We love you guys. For the time being that sums up everything. Enjoy a few pics!
