Happy Birthday Kate!

Warning this post is extremely picture heavy!!! We had the opportunity to go to Disneyland this weekend for my niece Kate's four year old birthday!! It was so fun!! My whole family was able to go. Spencer and Jenny were there, Emily and Matt, Adam and his new lady friend Sky,Matt and Ashley, and then my mom and dad and us! We flew there from Falcon Field airport and Aaron and I are both scared crapless of flying so it was pretty crazy! Aaron said he wanted to sit up front just in case the plane went down so he could help land us safely?? He doesn't even know how to fly, oh well. Needless to say we arrived safely. We had so much fun and Jack loved every minute of it! We went on the jungle river ride, Pirates of the Caribbean, it's a small world, Peter Pan, and a bunch of others. On kate's Bday we had lunch with all the princesses at Airel's Grotto... She loved that! I think Jack's favorite thing, along with Aaron's, was the Pixar parade. Jack loved seeing Lighting McQeen, and Tow Mater, and Sully from Monsters Inc. On Saturday Aaron's bro and sis and niece Kaelin came too and we went to Bug's life and rode all of those rides, that was sweet. We ran from ride to ride trying to get as much fun in as possible. We had an awesome time. Anywho Happy Birthday Kate and thanks Dad for making this all happen. My feet are killing me!! Enjoy the pics!

So Awesome!

What up Family and Friends! I don't know if this is normal, and frankly I don't really care, I just want to get on here and say how freeking awesome life is. I feel so blessed to be married to such an amazing girl and to have such a great baby boy. Laura has been so supportive of me in all of my en devours and she does such a great job in helping me believe that I can achieve anything I want. She is so rad! This last week I was super behind in work, it just kept piling up and up and up and it was nearly impossible for me to catch up on it all. I asked her if she would be willing to help me and she was totally down! Together we through a "work party" til one o'clock in the morning catching up on stuff that I had brought home from work, that is so awesome!! Thanks babe! You are amazing!

And Jack is just a total stud. I have heard parents say before how they learn so much from their kids, and I never really understood that until now. Jack is always so happy. His thirst for knowledge is amazing. He tries over and over and over again to accomplish little things and his persistence is amazing. For example, he is starting to learn sounds and certain words, and he babbles all the time. Then tonight we were watching 24 and I was all "Cool" and then he started making the hard C sound! Then I kept saying, "K" "K" "K" 'K" and he was repeating it after me, then I said, "ool", "ool", you get the idea, and then he totally said it! It was awesome! Anyways, sorry if you all think this is lame. I am just so stoked. I am so grateful to Heavenly Father and his hand in mine and Laura's life. He truly picked us up out of the grasps of the adversary and has turned this into something beautiful and great. I know that none of this could have been possible without him.

I love you Laura and Jack!

Aaron (Daddy)

Sweets turns 28!

So as some of you may or may not know A-ron turned the big 2-8. It was quite a milestone for him. Between the hot flashes, gray hairs, and losing his eye sight, it was awesome! But seriously we celebrated big time. For the morning festivities we had pancakes and ESPN. Afternoon rolled around and my parents watched Jack and I took Aaron to a spring training game(Diamondbacks at Giants). We had awesome seats! We were literally in front of the dug out. Needless to say Aaron was in heaven. He got a signed ball by Eric Brynes along with all of the eight year old boys, yes Aaron was the only male over eight yelling for autographs...it was hilarious. We got good food and sat back and caught the game and some rays, it was great! Later that night we went with some friend to BJ's pizza and got some yummy food! I just want to say how lucky I am to have such an awesome hubby! He has such a zest for life! He has so much joy! He helps me to look on the positive and see the happiness in the small things. He's such a hard worker, whether its his job, our home, or whatever he puts his blood, sweat and tears into it. He's got a great sense of humor, and he gets mine(which alot of people don't). He makes me feel loved and appreciated. He never goes a day without saying I love you. He is an outstanding father. He and Jack have an unreal bond. He loves his boy...and his future children. He is just great all around. I just want to finish by saying I love you Aaron! Your the best! 28 looks good on ya! Here are some pics from the day! The Bday Boy! Us in the car...tradition. Our seats! Aaron and I sat behind them. This will be us in 40 years. View from our seats!
Steven Drew. Aaron thinks he's tops!
