Anika and her daddy

Brad and Julie waiting for her to arrive!

Anika spent the summer with her mom, but she starts school next week so she's back! It's crazy, she was only gone for a few months, but she seems so grown up! I've missed her smile, her hugs, and her constant singing:) I love you Anika, we're so happy you're home!

BABY SAM!!!!

We love him so much!!!

Look at those big brown eyes:)

My sister reads to Sam every night, so my mom was reading to him before he went to bed:)

My sister Leah has diabetes and MS, so they weren't able to have their own kids. About 4 1/2 months ago, they adopted Sam. He has been such a blessing in all of our lives, but especially Leah and Taylor's. We all love him so much, he has such a fun little personality, and he loves to smile and laugh. Leah and Taylor went on the pioneer trek with their ward, so my mom got to babysit for a few days! I went over one of the days to spend the day with them. Here's a few of the pictures:) We love you Sam!!!

4 years!

Today is Brad and I's anniversary. I wanted to tell everyone, but especially Brad how much I love him:) He's everything I have ever wanted and much more! The last 4 years have been amazing. It's fun to beable to grow together, and become better people because of eachother. I love waking up next to my best friend, and just having the chance to be his wife. Brad is honestly the hardest worker I have ever known. He has so many qualities that I admire, and that I love. Thanks honey for the last 4 years, here's looking forward to many, many more!

These were actually taken forever ago, but I thought they would be fun to post. We wanted to put together some collages for Brad's mom's birthday, so the 6 of us went to memory grove and hollywood connection and had all sorts of fun:)
