Two Lovebirds Sitting in a Tree!!!

I often think, "What on Earth did we talk about before Berkley was born?" Well here is my break away from the normal "all about Berkley" talk to share about Aaron and I.

We don't take a lot of time to be together, just the two of us, now that Berkley is here. Neither of us can complain because we love her so much, but it definitely is nice to get away together and feel how much we love each other. For our anniversary we went to Park City May 18th through May 20th. Aaron was lucky to get that much time off of work and we absolutely loved our time together. By the way, Berkley stayed with grandma and grandpa when it was just Aaron and I and she spent the night at the hotel with us. It was perfect!


Enjoying our dinner at Ruth's Chris! They had a cute "Happy Anniversary" card on the table for us when they seated us and they called us by name during the whole dinner! So AWESOME!


Aaron found his lazy spot within minutes of getting to the hotel room. We stayed in a suite at the Marriott. It was so nice and big!


The dining room off of the bedroom in our suite!


Aaron's fascination besides me!


All ready to go out to dinner the first night!



On our actual anniversary, May 19th, we went to the Cheesecake Factory. It was the first time for both of us and it was YUMMY! Aaron got the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup cheesecake and I got the red velvet cheesecake. It was literally the BEST cheesecake I have ever had!


It was a perfect anniversary celebration for our 5th anniversary and it was very memorable...especially the part where it snowed both the day that we shopped the outlets and the next day! That hasn't happened to us before on our anniversary!


The beautiful gerber daisies that I woke up to on my anniversary! Aaron is such a sweetie!



Another very quick getaway to Taco Amigo in Pleasant Grove to get the infamous ice cream cones with little toys on top! YUM!

Berkley's First Easter!

Easter was super fun! Berkley's grandma and grandpa did a lunch with an Easter egg hunt on Saturday and she got to wear her cute little outfit from grandma. On Sunday, we went to her cousin Blake's blessing and then down to grandma and grandpa's down in Pleasant Grove. She got super spoiled and we had lots of fun!

YUMMY!!!



Jelly beans make Berkley so happy!!!

Playing with friends and family!

Berkley is a people person and loves to play! These are a few pictures of her with some of her favorite people to play with!


Berkley playing with her great-grandma! Grandma has a surprised look on her face because Berkley laughed at her playing peek-a-boo with her! So fun!


Great-grandma again!


Being admired by her uncles (Paxton, Austin, and Jace)!


Hanging out with mommy and daddy at the driving range! She was so happy the whole time! She loves to be outside!

Playing with the cute pink zebra Uncle Paxton gave her!


Grandma feeding Berkley num-nums!


Hanging out with Scarlet after going for a walk. Scarlet was so upset and Berkley grabbed her arm as if to say, "It's okay, friend!" It was so freakin adorable! I love my little sweetie!

Diapers! Diapers! Diapers!!!

Because I had so many diapers stocked up before I had Berkley, I ALWAYS forget to buy more diapers! Now that she's wearing size 3's and will be for a while, I need to stock up again so I don't have more situations like the current one! I literally was down to 2 diapers this morning so I changed Berkley's bum and was left with one. Not even 5 minutes later she pooped! Not just a little either! It's almost a blow-out! I guess it's time to run to the store! Hopefully I find more time sometime today to finish catching up!



Berkley's first size 3 diaper!

Daddy!

I seriously love these pictures! Enjoy!



Watching TV with daddy! (And trying to get his food!)




Right after going swimming for her first time ever! I think her cute, dimply smile shows how much she loved it!


Helping daddy blow up her floatie!



GO UTES!




All snuggled up! My favorite view of the two of them together!


All bundled up and ready for a morning jog!


Watching TV again! Seriously, I don't know what these two would do without TV!


So sweet!


Such a sleepy girl!


Visiting daddy at work! Berkley loves to go see him! He loves it too cause he gets to show off the little doll!




Playing with a giant Easter egg!



In honor of yesterday's holiday (Father's Day), I just want to say that Aaron is better than I ever imagined or hoped for, both as a husband and a father. I know that he will always play a key role in our children's lives and he will be the great example that they need at all times! I know that Berkley loves him and looks up to him already. She's a daddy's girl through and through and we both love it! I can't get enough of seeing the sweet man with our angel!

Berkley in her BUMBO!

Berkley loves to sit in her bumbo and be a "big girl"! We usually use it as our travel high chair and we love it! The last time we used it she kept pushing all of her toys off of her tray...ON PURPOSE! My cute little angel is becoming a little trouble maker! She would immediately shove the toys off again when we put them back on her tray! Too freakin cute though!



Uncle Austin feeding her! My teenage brothers, Garrett and Austin, LOVE to help out with Berkley! Even when she cries, they insist on holding her so they can make her happy! It's so cute!




Berkley in the middle of pushing her toys off her tray!

Josie feeding Berkley for the first time! She did great!
