What’s 2 into 6?

Three!  The reason for this simple math equation is today is mine and Brad’s 6 year Anniversary!  Six years married and it started with just two hearts and now we have three more hearts! Not too shabby for six years of marriage. In fact, it is an amazing blessing to have these numbers in our life!  When we count our blessings we count 1, 2, 3 little boys that fill our hearts and are a result of the two hearts that committed their lives to each other just 6 short years ago on this day, February 12th. 

This week we celebrated early since our Anniversary is on Valentines weekend we wanted to beat the crowds of lovey dovey people! Brad snuck and planned a date night for me and Liz and Kristen showed up at my door to watch the kids! It was actually great that he did that instead of a sitter since Easton is only 7 weeks old, I would be nervous to have a sitter juggle our 3 kids.  We went to a lovely intimate dinner and then a movie.  Which unless there is an event that is about all you can do in this town.  It was great for both of us to get the night off from putting the boys to bed.  So today since we already had our date we are just going to get take out dinner and snuggle up and watch our wedding video! He’s thrilled, haha! He will probably just fast forward to the good parts! We have had so many more good parts of our lives and I look forward to another 6 years and more!

I realized after that Bradley was holding Easton’s ear in half of them.  He has a weird ear obsession.  He holds his own and I think its a comfort thing for him so he was trying it out on Easton too! oh my!

Bradley was protecting Easton’s heart from Gavin breaking it.  Gavin is like…”what did I do?”

Happy Anniversary!! That was so sweet of Brad to set that up for you :) And I'd say from those 3 sweet faces that the past 6 years have been more than succesful!

LOL I used to watch my wedding video like once a week too! Hmmm, we have an anniversary coming up, maybe we should pop it back in for some good old reminiscing :)
