6 years!

Keith and I recently celebrated our 6 year anniversary! We celebrated with a fancy dinner and a movie. We NEVER go to movies anymore so its quite a treat. I'm so grateful to have such a wonderful man in my life. Our relationship started out a little wild, but we've both grown sooo much together and he really is my best friend. I dont' know how I'd live without him. He is helpful and caring and very hard-working. He works so hard to take care of us and be a good husband and father. I couldn't be more grateful. 6 years has flown by, and I can't wait to see what else we have ahead. :) My facebook status for the day was : Keith & Stacy... 6 years, 2.99 kids, 3 pregnancies, 3 states, 9 jobs, 8 cars, 3 schools, 6 moves, and SEVERAL other surprises... 6 years later and I love you more than ever. Can't wait to see what else is in store! Happy anniversary baby :) Mwahs!

Easter

Easter Sunday was fun this year. The weather was actually nice so we could hunt outside for once! One family picture in the suits and then they were off. After that we had a great dinner at Grandmas. Here's the pics, they're pretty self explanatory:

Cameron and Carla (who my boys fell in love with and can't stop talking about)

UTAH! again....

I feel like we don't really travel anywhere else....but this year we have some really good reasons. We decided to go down and see both Alex and Jenny graduate and watch Alex get commissioned into the Air Force. It was a big weekend and we didn't want to miss out. It was a really fun trip and we crammed as much into it as possible. We stayed with our besties Katie and Derek and the kids sure had a blast together. We ate TONS of good food (I gained about 5 lbs that week...no exaggeration) and had a great trip. The kids got to go to Kangaroo Zoo and Hoggle Zoo and we got to play with Aunts/Uncles/Grandparents/friends and TONS of cousins. We split the trip up on the way down and saw Chuck and Kelli also so that was a nice break and fun visit. Here are the boys on the drive down. I'm pretty sure this is the first hour after we left so thats why they are smiling/peaceful/sleeping... (and something is weird about the camera so all the pictures look foggy...probably just has fingerprints on it)

Keith grew a HIDEOUS 'stache and had fun with his BFF Derek :)
Cutie Kids!

I didn't get any pictures at the graduation, but here we are at Alex's commissioning.
Yay for Alex, we are so proud of you :) 2nd Lieutenant (right??)
And at the zoo:
Yay for a fun vacation and good times with friends and family! And we didn't have to say goodbye for too long because we'll be back again in June for Emmas wedding. (I told you we dont' travel anywhere else....)

Jory's 5th Birthday

Jory had a fun birthday this year (i still can't get used to the fact that I have a 5 year old...) He had school that day so we brought worms and dirt (gummy worms and pudding and chocolate) in for his birthday snack. The boys loved it but some of the girls complained. hehe. Then we had a chill party for just family on his birthday. He had both sets of grandparents there because Keiths family came to visit for a few days. Uncle Brent, and Uncle Adam were there, and Dustin (my cousin) and his fiancée Melissa came to. Jory requested a viking/dragon party after his favorite movie "How to Train your Dragon". We had decorations up for the party and a yummy gandolfo's cake with a dragon on top :)

We had a pizza party first and then served the cake:

Jory scored big on his presents. He got pjs, shoes, a couple movies, 3 new dragons, 3 nerf guns (!), some coloring stuff, and lots of T-ball gear for this spring. He was so cute opening them up, if you blinked you would have missed it. He sped through the whole thing, but kept saying how awesome everything was and that this was the best birthday and the coolest party ever.

The next night he had another party when his cousins Carson and Reese came up. I'm so mad that I didn't take pictures. :( They dressed up like vikings, which only lasted about 30 seconds, and played some viking games. They decorated shields and had a nerf war, hit a pinata, and took turns throwing swedish fish into each others mouths (its from the movie) and then we had cake again. It was really fun and chill and the kids had a blast.
I sure love this boy. He is sweet and tough all at the same time. He is a great big brother and a loving son. He draws me beautiful pictures and teaches me how to play baseball. He loves his family. He is a wonderful example to his brother and I am grateful for him every day. :)

Emily and Kyle

My little sister Emily just got engaged to a Mr. Kyle Stott. :) We are so excited for them and couldn't be happier about Kyle coming into the family. They are getting married on June 18th! We can't wait. The boys are excited for Emma their new uncle Kyle!

Valentines Day :)

Well first of all, I made these couple V-day crafts a few weeks before so we could get in the mood. I was feeling the need to be crafty (it's been a while....) I copied someone else's craft blog, but I don't remember who so I can't reference. I'm not creative enough to think of these things on my own so I'm glad people share!

My wonderful boys (with the help of their daddy) got me some lovely flowers! Aren't they sweet??
Keith and I decided that we go on enough dates, we didn't feel the need to go out on the one night everyone else in town wants to go out too. So we had a nice dinner at home. We used our best plates, lit tons of candles, put fake rose petals on the table, and tried to teach the boys some manners! ha
Jory spent all day drawing me Valentines. Love him! We also had special food all day- pink heart chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast, we decorated cupcakes, and make fluffy pink jello for dessert.
Here's the boys about to eat dinner! It turned out being so fun. I think we are going to make it our new tradition. It was fun to include the whole family instead of just celebrating as a couple. We felt really fancy too...
Here's what we ate...yum. Trust me, we make some great salmon.

Reunion!

After Christmas, I was lucky enough to have some fun visitors! My bestest friends from high school (and middle school and elementary) came over to visit! Kalie, Megan, and Juli! It was so fun to see everyone and catch up. I wish they could all live closer so we could get together more! There's nothing like the closeness of friends that you've known for 15 years and have millions of memories with. Love you guys!
