Playing Mom and Dad

So last week we got to babysit Shelby and Jason while Denise got her hair cut. Thanks to Josh, that always takes a lot longer than a normal haircut:)

Shelby had fun playing dressup with whatever we could find in our closet!

Kyle and I fought over who got to hold Jason. He is such a great baby!

Okay...we're ready to have kids now:)

H-A-W-A-I-I

So I know what you're thinking...we sure do travel a lot!!

Well this time Kyle's family (my new family) treated us to a fabulous trip to Kauai, Hawaii! We spent four full days touring as much of the island as we possibly could.

Here is our beautiful room with an incredible view

We really valued the time spent with the Sandersons

We saw a lot of waterfalls and "The Spouting Horn"

We just couldn't get enough of the gorgeous view

We had a lot of fun horseback riding though we were defintely sore afterwards!

We couldn't figure out why no on was surfing :)

Here we are enjoying another breathtaking view of God's handiwork

The guys just had to get in a round of golf

Here are some more pictures from beautiful Kauai!

I'm wishing we were back there right now!

THANK YOU MOM AND DAD S!

A Moment to Brag

Okay, I just have to take a moment to show our niece and nephew because they're so darn cute:)

Shelby Lorraine Case born June 8, 2004

Jason David Case born December 19, 2006

From August through December

So I guess I will have to do a very brief recap of the past several months that led up to us becoming a family!

Kyle and I began dating in January of 2006. By June we knew we were going to get married (although we never really talked about it!) July brought us home to Kansas to meet the Sanderson family. Then a few weeks later Kyle finally asked me to be his bride.

At first I was thinking we would get married at the end of December...boy am I glad we didn't wait that long! We planned to get married in only three months and pulled of a very nice wedding with the help of both of our families and many friends.

Me and my sis

Soon we found ourselves off to Mexico for a 7 day cruise!!

one of our formal evenings

oh yes...we went parasailing in Puerto Vallarta!

Beautiful Cabo San Lucas (and some lady we don't know)

Our very first Christmas!

At the end of the year, we took a trip quick to Phoenix to see the Red Raiders come back from a 31 point deficit. Go Raiders!!

Starting a Blog

So my good friend Kim, who was married 8 weeks before us, recently showed me this little blog she started. Since I do everything she does a few weeks after she does it, I thought it was my turn to start a blog too!
