anniversary

Oh yeah, Nate and I have been married for four years now. Well, four years and two days. Crazy. Where has the time gone? It's hard to remember what life was like before we were married. Sometimes it seems like we've always been together. Here are a few of the major events from the last four years:

Move into our cave-like apartment in Provo

Kirsta graduates from BYU

Go to Missouri with entire  Silvey fam!

Kirsta starts working at the phone book company that destroys souls

Cave-like apartment floods

Move to a much nicer, but with much a creepier landlord, apartment in Orem

Nate gets kicked out of the World of Warcraft for participating in practices contrary to the essence of WoW

Go to Disneyland with entire Silvey fam!

Nate graduates from UVSC

Nate starts working as an accountant for Gunthers

Buy our first house (thanks Mom!) and start remodeling

Kirsta has a couple of miscarriages and is sad for a while

Continue to work on remodeling house

Colin is born and everyone rejoices!

3 Random facts

I've never been defeated in a game of Nertz :)

I used my closet as a playhouse when I was a kid

The movie Cinderella still freaks me out because my house caught on fire while we were watching it when I was a kid and I had to take all the other kids to safety

Sorry, I had to change some to 4 things because I had more to share!

I tag DeAnna, Lenna, Tia, Hannah, and Heather or Caleb (do I get to copy the same people? because I just did)

i love this kid

photo shoot

So I was a little bored the other day and tried taking some pictures of Colin. He was all smiles until I got the camera out, the he started with the funny faces. I got a couple of good picturs though. Most of these just make me laugh.  

This one is one of my favorites. It looks like such a Nate face to me.

Okay, this one is one of my favorites too. His expression cracks me up!

His hairline is receding, poor boy. He's still got some long strands in the back, but he's lost almost everything in the front.

Colin seems to like being on his tummy. He's really good at lifting his head and moving it from side to side. But sometimes he gets distracted and tries to eat the floor instead.

I like this picture with his towel on his head because it looked like a wizard hat to me.

Yes, our son is now the size of a giant zucchini. 

And he still loves to snuggle with his daddy.

When Scott and Lenna were down we got some cute pictures of Mason giving the baby some love. He also gave the baby's Mickey a lot of love.

What a cute boy that Mason is. Colin is lucky to have such awesome cousins.

I'm only doing this because I'm a copycat and have to do what everyone else in the family is doing.

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together (and you and Nate), or leave one of the first memories you have of me (and Nate). 

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. 

Please to be following the instructions. I need some reading material for during Colin's midnight feedings.

a few pictures

Here are just a few more of the pictures Maria took for us. I think I might post them a few at a time until you're all sick of them. Isn't he such a sweet boy?
