3 Years of Pure Bliss

Three years already? Yup! Three years ago today Jonathan and I were sealed for time and all eternity and it has been the best decisions of my life. I love Jonathan more than words can describe. He is my best friend, my cheerleader, my personal comedian, my knight and shining armor, and the amazing father of my baby girl. He treats me like a Princess and he makes my life so perfect. I love you Jonny so so much and I am so happy that you asked me to marry you. I love you!! Happy Anniversary Baby!!!

Happy Mother's Day to my Girls

Well there is no doubt I am the luckiest man alive. I have been blessed with the most beautiful wife and daughther that are my whole world. I love you both very much! Happy Mother's Day to the both of you...and all the other mothers in my life.

More Pictures of California

As promised, here are some more pictures of our fun trip to California. We started the trip off by spending the weekend with Jonathan's parents. Happily, Josh (Jonathan's brother), Heather, and baby Thomas were there the same weekend. We also spent time with Jonathan's parents and his Sister Erin and her husband Greg and our neices Hannah and Alexis. In California we saw his brother Brad and his wife Alicia and our nephew Skyler and neice Sierra. It was great to spend the weekend with them. On Easter Sunday, we spent some time with my Aunt Sydney, Uncle Jim, and my Grandmother. Adie was all dolled up for Easter Sunday. After spending the weekend in Vegas, we were off to California. Below are more pictures of us at the beach, at Disneyland, or just lounging around and having fun. Enjoy the pictures!

A Week of Sand, Sun, and Relaxation!

We got back last Monday from a fabulous week at Hermosa Beach, CA. It was SO much fun and so relaxing. Adie discoverd sand, the sound of the ocean is very theraputic, and all three of us learned that 6am sunrise walks every morning are really aren't as bad as we would have though (this was because all week Adie's sleeping schedule was off... way off!). It was a big Botkin trip that we had been planning since early December of last year. It was much anticipated and very much enjoyed. Enjoy the pictures!!! Dont worry, I'll post more pictures.

Time for a Vacation

Well it has been awhile since out last blog update. For that we apologize. We have been super busy! Jeana has been busy with school being a great mommy and I have been busy with work and school. Both of us have been busy getting ready for our upcoming trip. As you can tell by the countdowns on the top of our blog, we are spoiling ourselves a little! Jeana's parents have rented a beach house in California and we are heading down there the end of this week to spend time relaxing. We are going to visit the places I grew up, hit Disneyland and just relax on the beach! We are stopping in Vegas to see my family as well and to spend Easter with them.

The other big announcement is that we have taken the plunge and decided to celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary and Jeana's graduation by going on a Disney cruise. So June of 2010 we will be sailing the seas in the Bahamas aboard the Disney Wonder. It's a far ways off, but they sell out pretty quickly so we figured we should jump on it.

Other than that, no new news to report. Adie has 2 teeth on the bottom and is teething again for the top teeth. She is moving all over the place and will be 9 months at the end of this month! We adore her and are so happy she is part of our family.

Polk-a-dots, Pirates, and Puppies

I have these pictures that I just have to post. They are just so cute! This week has been very fun for all of us here at the White house. Between school, work, homework, and life we did manage to find time for a lot of laughs, smiles, and memorable moments.

Adie and Daddy all ready for church on Sunday. I love this little dress, Adie looks so good in polk-a-dots and she apparently loves the dress too.

Kisses from Daddy

I loved this day! Branson came over to play with Adie one day last week and Branson found a pirate patch from Disneyland and had a hay day with it. I found some old bandannas from my mission and they fit perfectly on the kiddies' heads. They were an instant hit. Branson loved being "Captain Branson" and Adie was "First Mate Adie." Branson hid his treasure chest (a plastic tool box) under some sweatshirts and had Cheri "dig" it up. It was so cute. Adie looks more like a biker girl than a pirate.

Watch out or Adie and her biker buddies will take you out back. I love this little tough face!!!!

A day at the park with Ashley and Isaac is always fun. We found a woman who had the cutest little puppies. We just couldn't resist playing with them.

I wanted so bad to bring one home for Adie and Mosley. I think Mosley would love a little brother, don't you?

Adie's first flying lesson. I was laughing so hard at her face.

I just love this little girl, she is my sunshine!!
