Five Years!

We did it! David and I have been married 5 years. Man, time has flown. People who have been married five whole years always seem so old! Yikees. It has been awesome being married to such an amazing guy who makes me smile everyday. Thanks Dave for making marriage way better than I could have ever imagined!

Everyday Joys

Courtney is such a fun toddler! She is so curious and becoming more capable everyday! I seriously left the room for no longer than 3-4 minutes and I come around the corner thinking, "hmm, it smells like finger-nail polish!" At times like this, I don't know whether to grab Courtney, a rag, or the camera!
Courtney has really become a little 'copy-cat', she loves to help me do everything. On this night, I let her help me stir. She turns back around saying, 'ah-oh'. (She splashed all over herself)! She'll become a proficient mixer soon enough!
Yes, this is how the table AND the floor look after just about every meal! I know other Mom's say, "I don't let my child do that, I taught them 'no.'" Well, apparently Courtney doesn't know 'no' because I have tried EVERY technique to get her to stop throwing her food on the floor!!! Currently, I've resorted to ignoring it- and distraction. And yes, she had her foot all propped up on the table like that just kicked back like she owned the place!
This is something Courtney does that I think is hilarious! She loves to sit at the bottom of the shower and let the water fall all over her! This is about the only time that she'll sit still for longer than 2 minutes.
Another thing Courtney loves is her Daddy! She looks forward to him coming home everyday. She loves to play with him, cuddle with him, and relax with him.
