Happy Birthday Katy!

EXPLANATION
My AMAZING husband surprised me for my birthday with this incredible song and video!!! Music (ukulele) by Jonathan Gille. Lyrics, singing, and video by Martin Gille.

And just so you know, we are not having a baby quite yet. I was pregnant and we were ecstatic but, unfortunately, I had a miscarriage. It was such a happy time though to know a little "us" was on the way. Some day :) Still, our days will just keep getting better!


LYRICS...To-day... is the best day I can remember
And tomorrow will just get better
It just keeps getting better
When I'm with you
When I'm with you

Do you remember
We were playing in the sand
I took you by the hand
You said you'd be mine
Said you'd be mine

And do you remember 
When I took you by the hand
to the temple we had planned 
You said you'd be mine
Said you'd be mine

To-day... is the best day I can remember
And tomorrow will just get better
It just keeps getting better
When I'm with you
When I'm with you 

Do you remember
We saw we're having a baby
We thought about naming it Lilly
Or Jeronimo
Or Jaron... Imo

And do you remember
All the little moments
That mean so much to us
They all add up
To fill our cup

To-day... is the best day I can remember
Cuz there's just so much to remember
It just keeps getting better
When I'm with you
When I'm with you oo oo

Art Night!!!

We made a sweet mural on the concrete walls of our below-ground porch. We used sidewalk chalk, and we didn't expect much going into it, but it actually ended up being really cool!

Then we (mainly Katy) made some melted crayon art.

Marty My Man Turned 24!!!

I love my husband so much.  I really do :) Martin, you are an outstanding man.  I love your smile, your laugh, your ability to make me laugh and how sweet you are.  I love being married to you!  I love that you think before you speak and before you do something.  I love how patient you are, especially with me.  I love that you still love me and will kiss me in the mornings even though we both have morning breathe.  I love that you love to snuggle.  Seriously, snuggle time is precious time and I am grumpy when I don't get it.  I love that you are a gentleman: you always open the door for me and you treat me like a lady.  I love that you live in the moment: like when we are cleaning the kitchen and you pull me in close for a romantic dance.  I love that you are confident, like how you wear your baller shoes to school or your birthday crown all day long.  I love that you will scoop me up in your arms and carry me as your princesa to bed when I fall asleep on the couch.  I love how you love to play.  I love that you are always looking for ways to be outside and actively doing something.  I love how you are with kids.  Our little neighbor kids adore you (and so do I) because you are creative, willing to play, willing to teach, patient, and fun!  I love that you are forgiving and reliable.  You always keep your word.  I love that we are best friends.  I love that we hold hands.  I just love YOU Martin.  Happy Birthday!!!

Sweetheart Supper

I have an awesome family and one of my awesome Aunts put together a lovely Valentine's Day date-night.  Everything was love themed. Heart shaped rolls, love potion drinks, and lots and lots of red colored food and more goodies (words don't do it justice).  Basically, it was delicious food, great company, and a wonderful night!

Almost all of the love birds (Kyle and Taylor are sharing the love)

I'm so in love with this man :)

EASTER!

We found out that some people roll eggs down a hill for easter...

We have no idea what the story is behind that one, so we made it up. We painted a ton of easter eggs with one that said 'Jesus' on it. We went with our friends Brian and Nicole to Rock Canyon Park and we played bocci ball with the Jesus egg as the one you try to get close to (try to get close to Jesus).

It was a lot of fun.

Romantic Dinner

We made dinner and ate it out on our porch in the sunshine
