15 years as husband and wife

-
15 years of marriage...5,475 days as husband and wife...that blows my mind to think that it has been that long!  To celebrate we wanted to share some time with family and close friends who love and support us each day.  Five years ago we had a party at Paper Moon Winery to celebrate 10 years and it was such a huge success we decided to do it again.  This time we amped it up a bit with a small vow renewal ceremony in the vineyard with family first before our guest arrived. 
A friend of mine, Dave Johnson, is a local pastor and I asked him if he would lead the ceremony and he graciously accepted the offer.  It was a beautiful moment for us as he spoke of all we have created together in the past 15 years. Then Bob and I both shared our own thoughts of one another, and lastly it was sealed with a kiss. 




Dave prays over our family and us to conclude the ceremony


Ceremony selfie...Thanks so much to all who came out.


We snagged one family photo before the party


My sweet grandmother made the trip up for the event.  It wouldn't have been the same without her.  I am so glad she was there to share it with us! 


Truax, Parkers, and Falknors


Foisy, Michelle, Rosarios


Kelli, Judy, Mom, and Jill


Malears and Marcie J


Katie and Jeremy were a huge help.  Jeremy smoked an insane amount of meat and they both helped so much to get everything ready and then cleaned up when it was over.


Jim and Maria drove all the way from Michigan

Wine, wine, and more wine


A party isn't a party until someone make a human pyramid


Dance party!








Oh what fun we always have when celebrating with people who shower us with love!!!

No more diapers

It is official…the Boone family is diaper free!  After six long years of buying, changing, and disposing of dirty diapers we are finally done with those!  It is kinda crazy to think we don't have to carry a huge diaper bag full of diapers, wipes, rash cream, and extra clothes in case of a blow out. Around December Nolan began to be interested in the idea of going potty on the potty.  He would come into the bathroom to watch everyone and when the boys were going he would press his diaper against the toilet to pretend.  The whole potty training process can be quite exhausting so for him and my best interest we decided to wait until summertime.  He was very quick start going on the potty.  I have to say, ugh how I hate the potty seat.  It is just the most disgusting thing ever!  I tried to get him to use the big potty with a seat insert but he was scared since it was so tall.   He looks like such a big boy on the potty seat!

Nolan's First Bath and a Visit from Grandma and Grandpa Boone

On day 10 the best thing happened...Nolan's umbilical cord fell off.  I tell you what when that happens I get so excited because it is stinkin gross and I am always worried I am going to hurt him.  We found it in his diaper during a diaper change and Carter shouted, "Mommy Nolan's vilical cord came off!" I cracked up!  He knew that when that happened he now gets to take a bath in his big boy bath tub.  We quickly got out the tub and filled it with water.  The boys each grabbed a washcloth and helped to clean Nolan.  Nolan cried at first but as soon as Carter and Landon started to help he was calm as a cucumber.  They loved to squeeze the water on his body and wash his tummy. I gave Nolan a bath a few days later by myself and he screamed the whole time at the top of his lungs.  From that day forward I am sure the boys have to help me give him bath to keep him calm. Last week Bob's dad Arlin and Barb stopped through on their way home ...

Potty Master and No Nap Magee

Changes are coming our way fast!  Having two in diapers is costly...believe me we have done it before and my wallet is still crying.  As we approach the birth of baby #3 getting Landon out of diapers became a top priority.  He was not really interested and almost kinda scared at first.  He could and would tell me as soon as he finished going potty in his diaper that he needed to be changed.  He was also waking up in the morning with a dry night time diaper.  This was a sign for me to start pushing him into big boy underpants.  I don't mess around with pull ups we just switch to underpants cold turkey and just carry quite a few change of clothes with us.  When he realized that he was wearing underpants just like Carter he was hooked.  It took about two weeks of hard core potty training but he is going on the potty like a champ.  Every time he goes on the potty we all celebrate and everyone gets a treat.  Carter is extremely excited a...
