This is a picture of Jonathan and I (many many) years ago.

This month we have officially celebrated six years of marriage. We've come along way since being those young wild eyed adults in love. (Still wild eyed though..and just a tad older)

We've encountered many adventures along the way. From moving to Florida and back in one year, having two children, knowing the difference between really crappy and great jobs, encountering stresses and problems that seemed monumental, and experiencing absolute happiness and joy together.

Jonathan Baird, you are my best friend and I am crazy in love with you. I look forward to
many more years with you, and I'll be with you when we're up and down and all around.

This is our family now.

In honor of Chase's birthday, I've decided to tell about about couple cute, (or bizarre) things that Chase has said or done.

The other morning around breakfast time, I heard him exclaim, "It burns! It's burning my eyes!" I curiously walk into the kitchen to see that he's purposely sticking a piece of sausage into his eyeball.

The other night Chase was running around naked after a bath while I was chasing him, trying to get his underwear on. He was galloping around the room, pretending to be a horse. I told him that horses wear underwear. He promptly replied, "No. Horses wear butts."

We were in Las Vegas a few weeks ago, and for some reason Chase decided to flash everyone who walked past us by pulling up his shirt and yelling, "Look at my one belly."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHASE!
HE TURNED 4 LAST WEEK.
HERE'S SOME PICS OF HIS
PARTY AT THE PARK.

It was so warm this weekend, so we ventured to the park to enjoy the great weather. Look at these cutie pie boys we have!

Here's the Big News!

Jonny is going to be studying to be a physician assistant, and we finally know where we are going to go to graduate school- Montana. We are actually going to move to Billings. Its crazy. I would not have pictured us in Montana. (even though it's my native land) It's so cold, and we've spent almost four years developing our desert wardrobes. I've invested all our money towards flip flops. I don't even know if I own a pair of boots. We are definitely lacking in the winter wardrobe....but I think we are going to like it there. I just have a feeling. And it has a temple! How great it that?

Jonny starts school in July. That seems far away, but it will be here soon. We are totally freaking out about tuition, and how we are going to (buy food, diapers, clothing, pay rent...) Yes, there are loans, but who wants to borrow tons and tons of money just to eat some food. But that may be our only option. We are trying not to freak...and we know this is the right course for us...and we know all will work out.

Beyond the freaking out stuff, we are very excited and also anxious to get on with this next phase of our life. So wish us well... wish Jonny the ability to study well, learn easy, and deal with the stress. And wish me the ability to stay sane while my husband is gone a lot. And wish that my children will be perfect little angels while I will have them to myself...a lot!

Unfortunately, this will be a sad farewell to Jonny's family for the time being. We will be way up north, and his family is way down south and mostly in the middle. We've had a great time living close to them, and have been able to see them often. We'll miss you all. (emails and blogs!)

The good news is that when we move to Billings, my momma and little sis will be only four hours away instead of fifteen. I look forward to that, and the chance that my mom will have to see her grandchildren more often. She's only seen them a handful of times.

That's all I have to say for now. Bye.
