STRAIGHT TO THE TUB!

As I was watching the final results of American Idol the other day, I had to keep Brystal busy so we could finish it. So I gave her a little teething bisket and fed her some peas, and let her eat some graham crackers to keep her happy. She loves crackers! And she makes a huge mess doing it. She seems to not really care though.

Sophie patiently waits on the sidelines for a dropped crumb.

She was getting pretty sleepy at the end, it was past her bedtime. She was falling asleep in a pile of cracker crumbs. Here is a little video clip of her eating. She has been doing this new "smacking" thing. She not only does this when she is eating, but just for no reason. She'll just start smacking her lips out of the blue. And if you do it back to her she thinks it's funny and does it again.

TIME FOR THE GREEN STUFF.

I almost forgot. Brystal is now eating her vegetables. This is her first time eating green peas. I was hoping we'd get a good reaction from her, but nope, she just ate it like it was nothing. Just like her dad. So sorry if it's a boring video, but of course, it is an exciting time of life for little Brystal. She has also been eating crackers and those baby biskets. Note to self, don't give your baby one of those biskets unless you are headed strait to the bath afterward. I'll get pictures of that another time.

ANNIVERSARY DATE

Well since Nate was gone on our actual anniversary we spent the weekend together. First we went out to Breakfast to the Cracker Barrel. Thanks to Brystal it wasn't the best time I've ever had out to eat. So then we went down to the Museum industry in Houston and I decided I wanted to go to the Health Museum. Well, it was a little disappointing since there wasn't too much there to look at. But we looked around inside the human body, and got to see a cow's eyeball dissected. So here is Nate and Brystal standing at the entrance into the Human body.

Here is Brystal and I inside of the mouth. If you can't tell we are sitting on teeth.

After a long day at the museum we walked around the beautiful park across the street with pretty lakes and trails, and took a little resting break and watched the people walk by. Brystal took a little snooze. Then we had dinner at a wedding reception. Pretty glamorous huh? Ya we're cheap ok. Don't judge us.

FUNNY SLEEPER

I always go into Brystal's room and check her before I go to bed and I always find her in funny positions. Here is one that I caught on camera.

MAY 1ST 2003

5 years ago today we were married in the Bountiful Utah Temple. I can't even believe it has been this long. We have been through so much together. I feel like I am more in love with Nathan now than I was 5 years ago. Now if someone would have told me that back then I would have thought they were lying, but it is true. My love grows more and more everyday. We have had quite a journey together, and I wouldn't have wanted to do it with anyone else but him. I have the song Come What May, on here it was sung at our reception by my cousins, and I love it. And the song At the beginning was on our wedding video. They are special songs to me.

Let's just get a recap on how we met... We met at Utah State University in our singles ward. We actually met at our first Family Home Evening, where we played the typical Elbow Tag. I asked Nate what brought him from Texas to here, and his response? "To meet girls named Kacie". Now of course this is totally cheesy now, but at the time, I was a giddy little freshman girl who didn't know any better because for all I cared, a returned missionary was actually flirting with me, a huge step from my high school peers. From then on, we just kept running into eachother, and I had a huge crush on him. Then he finally told me he liked me and we were never separated (except for Christmas break when he went back home to Texas). And it has been bliss ever since. This is just a short version of how we met by the way, I don't have time for the long version.

The Blushing Bride.































Doesn't get much hotter than this, does it? Hubba hubba!

























So young and naive. We didn't know anything back then. Only that we were in love.















Here I was getting the cake ready to shove in his face when he strangely asked for a bigger piece and opened up his mouth really wide...ok then, I said....

That's what you get!

My Hero.
