Miranda saved the day

Sometimes I am very forgetful. This last Sunday as we were coming home from church Steve mentioned that I needed to make sure and fill up the car with gas in the morning, it was very empty. (some times I don't remember to check the gas gauge)
The next day I had a lot of errands to run so I was out and about with the kids. We had been to a few places already and all of a sudden Miranda says "Mommy don't forget to fill the car up with gas". I had completely forgotten about getting gas and I looked down to check where it was. On my car I have a monitor that tells me my "distance to empty" It had no numbers on it and was flashing. I was mortified, I drove straight to the gas station and prayed that I could make it. I am sure that If Miranda did not remind me to go fill up I would have been stranded on the side of the road with 2 children and no gas.
I told her thank you so many times and she loved it that she got to save the day. She is the best and I am glad she did not get my memory, she remembers everything.

For "Uncle Dougie"

When Miranda was born Uncle Doug got her this onesie and I just wanted to let him know that we still use it and we still love it. (If you don't know Spanish you better find a translater.)
When we went to Spain with Miranda people didn't want to hold her when she was wearing this outfit.
Thanks Doug

Playing Dress Up

Okay, there is a story to this. When Steven and I got married I wanted to buy my dress and my father was very against it. So the way that we solved our difference of opinion was this, I told my dad that if I had my dress than I would always have the goal to fit into it, so on my anniversary I would try it on just to make sure that it still fits.
I have to admit that I have not been the most diligent at trying it on every anniversary but I felt like number five was a good one to make it happen. As you can see it still does fit Yeah!!!!!!!
I'll be honest it was a little tight (especially in the chest region, I'm a nursing mother what do you expect) but none the less it fits still so these pictures are really to my father to prove it. I love you dad.

Five Year Anniversary

So here we are five year later and still in love. Steven and I just celebrated our five year anniversary and we have had a wonderful week of excitement. We were able to get a babysitter for both kids and go out to dinner and then gifts and surprises have been coming all week long.
First of all Steven got me a 5 year anniversary band for my ring. The picture above is my ring with only one band and the picture below is with the two bands. They are not the greatest pic's but I love my ring. I am back to the point of randomly admiring my ring because I love it so much. Thank you sweetheart.

We got Steven a new bike for our anniversary. He has been looking for a new one for months and now is a great time to start using it a lot. He is very excited to start riding his bike to school and back. It should be fun.

The biggest surprise of all was that Steven got us tickets to go see Stomp. I am so excited!! When I was about 16 I got tickets to go see Stomp in Salt Lake with a very good friend of mine and of the day of the show I got the flu. I had a very high fever and there was no way that I could go, I was so sad. When I found out they were coming to Purdue I told Steve about this story and he took pity on me and now we have tickets to go. (if I get sick again I will cry)

Anyway it was a great anniversary and now we still have the Stomp show to look forward to. Yeah!!!!!!!!!

Clarification

All right, all right, for those of you who asked about my last post and wondering if Jacob is really standing here is the truth. In the picture below Jacob is standing but his shoulder blades are leaning against the chair behind him. I thought it was so funny that when you look at the picture you can't tell. He looks so big and tall but that is the truth. I hope that clears some things up. I love you all :)
