one year ago...

One year ago today, I woke up a married lady. Yesterday was our first wedding anniversary. I can't believe how much has happened in such a short amount of time. We are blessed to have a great marriage and two beautiful girls. We celebrated by making mint mojitos (the signature drink at our wedding), and tasting our year old wedding cake. I think for the first time in my life I could have done without the cake ;o). Happy Anniversary Jarrod!

Just some quick pictures from the beach yesterday...

Vacation Bible School!

Morgan loved vacation bible school! This was the first year she was old enough to attend, and she hasn't stopped talking about it since. Here are some videos to enjoy!



Father's Day

Happy Father's Day Jarrod! It was a great day. First, Morgan and Maddy gave Jarrod his gifts... this poem accompanied with their foot prints and framed:
Walk A Little Slower
"Walk a little slower, Daddy", Said a little child so small.
"I'm following in your footsteps, And I don't want to fall. Sometimes your steps are very fast, Sometimes they're hard to see; So walk a little slower, Daddy, For you are leading me.
Someday when I'm all grown up, You're what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child Who'll want to follow me.
And I would want to lead just right, And know that I was true;
So, walk a little slower, Daddy, For I must follow you."

Happy Father’s Day 2009


They also gave him tickets to the Myrtle Beach Pelicans game.


We had a blast! Here are some pictures from the day!

The evening ended in fireworks:

The Sun Fun Festival and Maddy's first movie!

What a great day! We headed off to the annual Sun Fun Festival in Myrtle Beach... There wasn't much sun, but there was tons of fun.

Morgan got her picture taken with Tyrone and Pablo from the Backyardigans. She really wanted to meet them, but was a little shy once she got up there...


Then, she got her face painted...



Afterwards, we went to see Up! in 3-D... It was Maddy's first movie. She loved looking at the bright lights on the screen.


It was a good day...
