5 years....

5 years ago today Matthew and I were married for time and all eternity in the Billings, MT temple. I remember being extremely nervous the morning before I got to the temple. As soon as I arrive at the temple Matthew grabbed my hand and kissed me. He also told me he loved me, and was so excited to marry me. I was not nervous at all after this. I knew that this was my Heavenly Father reminding me of the most amazing guy I was about to marry in his temple.
Ever since then I have fallen more and more in love with my amazing husband. He is the best thing that has happened to me. We have shared so many happy, sad and exciting moments over the past 5 years. We have two beautiful children together. They are our life and we love them dearly. I am so happy I have Matthew do go through this life on earth together. I really couldn't do it without him. 
I am so thankful for how supportive, loving and caring Matthew is towards me. We always say, "I want what you want." This works so great for us because we both want to be happy, and happy we have been the whole entire time we have been married. 
I am so blessed to have a hard working, wonderful dad for our children, and dedicated to our Heavenly Father. Matthew is my dream come true. 
Thanks for the most amazing 5 years of my life Matthew. I still have the smile on my face you gave me that very day we were married. Together we truly have it all. Can't wait for another 5 amazing years. Love you lovey dovey.

Pictures from my phone

I love having a smartphone these days. I never have my actual camera with me, so smartphones are nice and handy to catch those pictures moments when we need too. Yay for technology. 

Ian loves playing in the rocks at the playground. 

Our Chloe girl is getting so big. She holds her head up so well.

Ian sure does love his beaver.

The other day the kids and I were coming in from the car and this baby rabbit about gave me a heart attack. But I stayed calm so I wouldn't scare it away. I then showed it to Ian. Ian just laughed and laughed. He thought that bunny was so funny. 

Just a little after nap sensory play

We love our Popsicles and this sweet boy.

Ian's Occupational therapist suggested that we really ware Ian out just before we put him down for bed. Ian had a really hard time settling down once we put him in his bed at night. He will run, jump and jabber for hours before falling asleep. In this picture Ian and I are running up and down the hill in front of our apartment. Talk about ware mom out. :)

Chloe is loving rice cereal. She also loves to spit and blow raspberries lately. So sometimes the rice cereal is all over herself and mom.  

Ian likes to take things out of the fridge and line them up. I think he is practicing his drink ingredients. You aren't a true Asay if you don't like your drinks.  

Pretty girl. I love this polka dot headband. 

Sad Chloe was so tired

One of my favorite activities to do with Ian is sidewalk chalk. We could do this for hours and just have a blast. 

I love this bubble shirt on her.

On Sunday the kids and I went to church solo. Matthew had a ER shift at the hospital. I was nervous that Ian would not go to nursery without Matthew in there. ( Matthew is one of the teachers in nursery) Ian walked right in and started coloring. No crying nothing. I checked on him multiple times, and he was doing great. His teacher even said that he did pretty well for not having his dad there. He got a little sad once in a while, but did great. I think it's time to get Matthew out of nursery, so Ian can not be so dependent on him in nursery. I am so proud of our boy. 

Ian likes to sleep everywhere but his bed most nights and during naps. 



Sibling Love

Ian hasn't really paid much attention to Chloe since she has joined our family. He has given her a kiss like twice without being forced to. I think he still loves her despite that fact that he doesn't pay any attention to her. Chloe on the other hand loves to watch her big brother all day long. She loves to grab his hand or face when we lay her next to him. Ian on the other hand usually doesn't want her touching him lol. I love these pictures because clearly you can tell the love our children have for each other :)

July Has Come And Gone...

So where the heck has summer gone?? It's gone way too fast that's for sure. We have really enjoyed our summer here in Pullman. We usually are in Wyoming, so it has been a little different to be here at our own place. This week Chloe stated eating rice cereal. She likes it too. We had a couple days of rain. It was kind of nice to have it cool down a little bit. When we came back from Wyoming for the weekend I found my big hanging plant just about dead. I was pretty heart broken over it, but I have brought it back to life. All it needed was lots of water. Yay! During one of those rainy days I decided to let Ian play in the sink full of water. Well the sink full of water ended up being a floor covered in water. But he had fun doing it. That's all that matters right. :) I have had a few of my friends talk about going for a walk in the forest. Well we finally took this walk as a family the other night. We have pictures to prove up by the water tower. After we finished our family walk we headed to get some froyo. Here's to another busy, fun filled week.
My Mom got Ian this super cute Mickey bedding. He loves it. Thanks Grandma Bullinger!

Playing at our apartment playground. 


Chloe wearing blue jeans for the first time. I just love a baby in blue jeans. 





Look at that chubbiness... 





Oh hey look there is our apartment complex...

We couldn't get Chloe to look at the camera. She was to interested in her big brother. 



I took this earlier this week. Ian was suppose to be taking a nap. I guess he knew there was too much fun to be had.

4 months

Chloe turned 4 months old on the 28th. Yesterday was her 4 month well child appointment. The doctor said she is doing wonderful. Chloe can roll from both her back and stomach. She sometimes gets stuck on her stomach and gets so mad. She is laughing and smiling lots at us. She is very interested in people around her. The last time we went to Costco she was smiling and laughing at the cash register lady. She just thought she was hilarious. She loves watching her brother. I am he will teach her so much. Chloe is still an amazing sleeper. She sleeps about 9-10 hours every night. She gets up around 6 every morning eats, and usually will go back to sleep for up to an hour or two. Then I can get a long nap from her in the afternoons. We just started yesterday feeding Chloe rice cereal, and she seems to like it. We love our Chloe girl so much, and she is such a sweet baby. We love having you in our family Chloe.
