Happy Anniversary!

Today Derek and I are celebrating our second anniversary! Looking back to that day it's hard to believe we are where we are today, with a one year old! I still remember the day as if it were yesterday, the sand between our toes, the topless lady on the beach that wouldn't move (we eventually got her to move, wouldn't that have made for some memorable photos), the blue water backdrop and sunny sky! And most of all our first kiss as husband and wife. I wouldn't have done it any other way!

Sick Days!

The past week and a half have been kinda crazy around here. It started with Derek coming down with a bad stomach flu, which knock him out for a few days and then I got a lesser vision for a day. Derek's mom came and watched Daxon for the day, which was super nice. Then last weekend Daxon came down with it! I must say it has hit him harder then it did us. He hasn't had much of an appetite the last few days and won't drink anything but formula from his bottle (which we had taken him off a few weeks ago). He was even sick on his birthday! He's getting better slowly but surly, so hopefully we'll have our rambunctious little man back soon.

Derek also started a new job on Monday, so we have been trying to adjust with his new hours and getting a schedule down. I must say he's much happier then where he was, so it will all be worth it!

Well that's my update (aka excuse for not blogging much lately). Here's a picture of our sick little guy, who has found a new home on the dogs bed.

My 27th Birthday Extravaganza!

As I had mentioned in a previous post Friday was my 27th birthday and Derek had planned a fun filled two day's for me! I will start off by saying it was one of the best birthdays I can remember! I got to spend it with all the most important people in my life (minus my Dad, who couldn't be there). Here is how it all went down!

Friday morning I spent at home with Daxon and Derek, we had cake and I opened my cards and presents!

I was eying this wine purse up at a store when we were in Bismark, but was too cheap to buy it!

Then we all headed to the city. My sister and I got ready and headed out for dinner with my Mom and friend Candace.



After we finished dinner, my sister and I went to a lounge where we met up with Derek, my brother and Derek's friend!

On Saturday I was supposed to go for brunch with my friend Amanda and then for pedicures and manicures, needless to say I didn't make it for brunch, but was ready to go for the pedicure and manicure.

I hadn't had any spa treatments for over a year, so it was very relaxing getting my nails and toes done, the chairs we sat in while getting our pedicures were massaging chairs, which only added to the relaxation!




To top the two says of Birthday Celebration my Mom cooked the whole family supper that night and made me a whole made Chocolate Cake!

I'm so lucky to have such a great husband and family, who make me feel so special!

My Birthday Present!

Well, it's my birthday on Friday and the other night Derek told me what my present was! And I'm super excited about it. I really don't want or need anything for my birthday, so Derek came up with this super present!

On Friday Derek, Daxon and I are going to spend the morning together and have lunch and cake, then (since Derek starts work at 3, well he's suppose to, stupid rain!) Daxon and I are off to the city for the night, where Derek arranged for my sister, mom and I to go for supper and cocktails (YUMM!)

Then on Saturday he arranged for my friend Amanda and I to go for brunch and then to the spa for mannies and petties! He even arranged babysitters for Daxon! It's been forever since I had a girls night or been to the spa, so I'm so excited! What a sweet guy I have! Stay tuned for pictures!

Date Night

Saturday night Derek and I had a date night! We don't usually go out for dates that often as we don't have a babysitter in town, so it was nice to get out just the two of us. We tried out a new restaurant that had just opened this past week and then went to see The Expendables (Derek's choice and the theater only plays one movie so we didn't really have a choice). I must say it was nice to get dressed up and wear high heels as I don't get to many chance to do so any more.
