Crazy to think that it's been 5 years. We kept with tradition and got our favorite, Louie's Pizza and had ourselves a nice little picnic at the same place we got married.

| It had just got done raining and another storm was rolling in but God kept it clear for us during our time up there. |

| Kyle chowing down lol |
 |
| Since our first year Anniversary I have kept a journal/scrapbook of our lives together. I update each year for our anniversary and give it to Kyle. It is so much fun to look through it every year. |
 |
| Kisses! |

| Tryng to get our camera set up so we can get some pictures of both of us in it lol |
Every year we always struggle to get the camera set up and then the timer going and then race into the frame...they always end up pretty awkward but here you go...
The excitement of our date hadn't even began until Kyle whipped out a nice little surprise for me lol...
Since we do traditional wedding anniversary gifts for each other I was expecting something made out of wood but Kyle said that he had a surprise for me and it was his own creative twist on the traditional wedding gift...
His gift was an awesome mountain bike! His idea was that we would go for a bike ride 'in the woods'. So I guess he did keep within the rules. I only have a road bike and it is really hard to tow the kids in he trailer with it and extremely hard to do anything fun in it that is not on clean pavement.
I may look super excited here but what these pictures don't show is the storm rolling in and the rain starting to fall. But we didn't let that stop us so we proceeded on our bike ride.

| The rain was starting to come down a little harder so we headed back to the truck |
 |
| Couldn't get my footing and it was tricky once I got in the footstraps |
 |
| This is an after picture but he got me a mountain bike!!!!!! |
Well, by the end I was soaking wet, and was trying to get up a hill when I lost my balance and couldn't get my feet out of the straps and I took a big spill. I know, super romantic on our anniversary lol. I loved the adventure though and truly did have so much fun!
 |
| On our way to pick up the boys we got one of our favorites...a 'baby cake'. We call them baby cakes because I always craved them when I was pregnant (no I am not pregnant lol). I just love the frosting part |
We do traditional wedding anniversary gifts for each other each year. This year the gift is 'wood'. We are planning on finishing our basement in the next couple years so I thought I would get him our first 2x4 (of the hundreds we need) and paint it and make it special so that we can remember our anniversary in that way and know that it was helping to build part of our future. As many of the moms out there know, it is so hard to go shopping, have time to do something artistic and hide a gift with two toddlers. So I decided to have the boys be a part of the fun. The 2x4 didn't turn out as elegant as I had pictured and Jamin kept trying to show daddy where it was hid before our anniversary but here it is.

| The boys helped me color it and we put our footprints and handprints on it. |
