Five Years.... and counting

Today is the mark of our five years together as "Jason & Jaime". It's been a FULL, busy five years that has involved moving halfway across the U.S.; having three (almost four) kids; moving twice; incorperating two dogs into the family; and countless blessings along the way.

We've covered numerous miles too - traveling from So. Cal to Texas a total of of 2 round trips and one looooong move out here. We've driven to Tulsa, OK twice and to Dallas, TX countless times for work.

We've driven long on the road of life too, experienced a lot in the first five years that often gives the illusion we've been married longer. We've endured the storms of life together and rejoiced in the sunshine together. We've learned to love, laugh and cry together.

Marriage is said to be one of the hardest things as society tells us its expendable and replaceable. But it's not. You can do it, and it's worth it....

Here's a collection of pictures of the road we've traveled the past five years and the memories we've created together. Make sure you can hear the music ;)

15-monther....

This has become one of my favorite "seasons" as a parent. Jason and I have three toddlers and although at times it can be challenging, it's rewards far outweigh the bumps.

Julianna is our youngest, and turned 15-months old on July 1st. I used to think that it was at 15 YEARS old that one "knows everything"....but I am starting to second guess that theory as I watch my "wanting to be too independent" daughter. She might be only a baby in our eyes, and everyone else's, but she's determinded to be bigger and older than she is. Here are some things she is doing that her brother and sister didn't even think about doing at this age....

Trying to wash her clothes in the doggy's water

Playing dress-up

She is so much fun though as she adores her big brother, and he of course adores her. He protects her and she follows him around. I am so proud of him as he will always look out for his sisters.
