Family Pictures

Halloween

We were a family of pirates this year (Pete bailed out on us) and Norah was a parrot. 

The cutest little crawling parrot ever

We went trick or treating at Pete's work and with the cousins

October Highlights

Grandpa Leonard and Grandma GG moved to Lehi! We've been able to have them over for dinner and spend time at their new town home. The girls love snuggling up with Grandma GG and reading stories

October was so warm! We spent lots of afternoon outside playing- one day we found a garden snake. Adaliah was so brave and held him. She named him "Slidey"

We went to He-Haw farms with Adaliah's preschool

Gardner Village with Aunt Karen

We painted and carved pumpkins

And of course we spent our October afternoons at Cornbellys- one of our favorite places in the world.

 

We had a mystery dinner with an Old West Theme. Pete was "Gambling Jack" and I was "Sally Saloon"- the Saloon girl. We had such a great night of laughs.  

7 Year Anniversary

7 Years. 7 Amazing years with the man of my dreams. 

Pete spoiled us with sealings at the temple, couple massage and Ruths Chris.  

(And these beautiful flowers)

...."I am the luckiest" no doubt about it. I know it sounds cheesy but I keep looking Over and watching your chest rising and falling as you breath (you're not even snoring tonight!) and feeling so incredibly grateful for your heart. Your heart keeps you  alive. It Keeps you here on earth with me. Your heart that I stole from you 8 years ago and you still save for me , and only me. Well, that's not true, because I saw it grow and make room for more the day Adaliah was born and you flawlessly took on the job of being a dad. An amazing dad at that. And it has grown more and more who each beautiful girl that we have created and brought into our family. 

Man. I am blessed. I can't help but think of that night I met you and that overwhelming feeling- the spirit sent tingles up and down my body and the spirit testified "this is some one you're supposed to know". My life changed forever after that night. It became brighter, happier, more fulfilling, more exciting. It became complete. And just as you warned me after our second date, "once you go Ack- you never go back"  boy you were spot on, I never did. 

I love you. I'll love you for eternity and beyond (as buzz light once year said.. Urrrr) -Bekah 

..... I give most of the credit to you. If you didn't help change me for the better a long time ago,
there is no way I would be the person I am today. Thanks for sticking
to your guns on all of the most important things. We live in a world
with so much outside social pressure to let our guard down or loosen
up a little or be more tolerant of things... I'm grateful I've had you
to anchor me and our family and keep all of us grounded and focused on
What is most important. So don't get carried away fooling yourself
about me, just know that you have played such a critical role in who I
am. Your graciousness and gratitude mean so much. They feed my fire.

I am because you are.
-Pete
