3 years...1,095 days...26,280 hours...1,576,800 minutes...94,608,000 seconds. However you count it, every moment has been wonderful!


Orie and I just celebrated our third anniversary and I am SO grateful to be married to such a wonderful man.  He is my very best friend and an amazing husband.  It's amazing to look back and realize how much we've done in just 3 years.  Orie finished at the UofA, I left my job at Walmart, we moved to Texas, Orie has gone through almost 2 1/2 years of Chiropractic school, I worked for a year, we went through a major health scare, we had Aiden, we just celebrated Aiden's first birthday, and now our time is coming to a close in Texas and we are getting ready to move home to Arkansas in December.  Wow!  Even though some of it has been really tough-Orie's 9 months of seizures was no walk in the park-it has all helped us grow and strengthen our marriage.  I have been so amazed at the strength that comes from going at life together, as partners, equally yoked.  Heavenly Father knew what he was doing when he created man and woman and brought us together in marriage.  And he went beyond that and provided a way for us to be sealed together in the temple not just for our time here on earth but for eternity.  And I am so grateful that Orie is my husband now and for eternity.  I love you Orie!!!!

My good little eater...

Aiden is so funny.  His favorite thing to do is to play in the fridge.  He loves to pull everything out.  And he loves to try stuff.  So far he has pulled out and eaten (or attempted to eat): apples, big tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, cantelope, avocado, potatoes, nectarines, and a red bell pepper.  Here is the bell pepper.  And yes, he actually ate those chunks.  I guess he's just trying to figure out what to do with his 14 teeth :)




Aiden is 1!!

Wow I can't believe that a year has gone by since my favorite little guy came into the world.  

Aiden you have brought me so much joy and light up our lives.  Your daddy and I love you so much and can't wait to watch you keep growing and learning.  You are the most wonderful little boy!!

His cake...homemade and super yummy!




Not quite sure about this.  We never gave him sweets before his birthday so this was a totally new experience!


He kept picking off the little balls of icing around the edge and eating them.  So we cut a slice out for him to actually get some cake.  Lol :)


Now he's getting into it!






Toys!!





We love you Aiden!!

Presenting the future Elder Quinn!

I want to be a missionary now...


I don't want to wait until I'm grown!


I want to share the gospel while I'm young,


For I have a testimony of my own!


It's been forever...

So I haven't blogged in a while...mostly because I'm totally embarrassed to follow up on my last post.  I totally botched it.  No follow thru.  I admit it.  But there is a small glimmer of hope.  I have been working out, not as much as a wanted, and I have lost a few pounds.  Yay!  I'm still working on it, and I'll get where I want to be.

Moving on from that sad story.  Here is what we've been up to!  First off was a trip to the zoo.  We had so much fun that day.  Aiden's favorite thing was the fountain in the children's area.  
It felt great on a pretty warm day!
