Circus

Last week Emmy and I had the chance to go see the circus with my grandma, brother and his girlfriend. Big thanks to my grandma for getting us 3rd row seats!!! Emmy was amazed the whole time. I dont think I have ever seen her love something as much as she loved the circus. After is was all done she said " Mom this was better then Disneyland!" That pretty much says it all :)

Family Pictures Sneak Peak

I won a contest with butterflylovephotography.blospot.com a little while ago. We got them done about 3 weeks ago and I cant wait to see the rest!

Alaska

I went to Alaska to visit Matt for the weekend. He has been there for the past 2 weeks for business. It was such a fun few days! It felt like we were dating again.
The first night we stayed at Captain Cooks hotel and went to the best restaurant Glacier Brew house! They had the most AMAZING cream soda!!!
The next day we went 4 wheeling and stayed at the beautiful Alyeska Resort. AMAZING!!! We also got to go to the animal retreat center and see all the animals. Matt almost got attacked by an elk because he didn't listen to me :) We also drove around and enjoyed the beautiful scenery that Alaska had to offer.
The last day we took the tram up the beautiful mountain and took a little hike. We spent the rest of they day eating, shopping hanging out and enjoyed being with each other.
I am so grateful I had the opportunity to go to Alaska and spend time with my sweet and amazing husband!

HOW IS JACKSON 2!?!?!?!? Time goes way too fast! I can not believe my baby turns 2 tomorrow. He is such a cute boy and even though he has a temper on him we love him to pieces!!! I cant believe how much he has learned the past 2 weeks. He went from saying about 70 words to doubling his vocabulary and putting words together. I love him more then anything and am so glad he is in our family!
