Garret turned 3

Garret turned 3! This picture pretty much sums it up.
Love this little guy.

Fall Family Photos

Happy Holidays!
My heart is full of such gratitude for the wonderful thing that is MY life! 
I couldn't have dreamed that my life would have turned out this sweet. 
It is full of love and laughter and wonderful family both on the Beck and the Stryker side....how many people can honestly say that.
We have had another full year and have added another person to our family. Reid gives our family a lot of adorableness and spunk and volume...noisy boy.]
 Ace and I still manage to be super into each other. 
We have a very full life, but it starts with the two of us and so we really try to keep the flame alive.
Ace is definitely my better half. He makes every day of my life so rich and full. 
So thankful for him and for the wonderful man he is.


 (we sometimes just have to put the little people second so we can take some time to snuggle:))
 Jeremy, our photographer for the past three years, moved:-(. 
But we are so blessed to know and call a friend the talented Jessica Wood. 
She has a crazy busy schedule with so many unique demands on her time but we are so grateful she made time for us during a particularly crazy time in her life to capture our special family moments.
Thank you, thank you Jessica for being talented and for sharing your talent with us.
But most importantly, thank you for many years of beautiful friendship, love ya!

 Poor Garret was totally Hot and Cold!
I think he was generally in a happy mood because he was outside, but then we would snag him for a picture and destroy all the joy in his little heart. He just kept telling us "I'm feeling sad."


 (Doing his thing)

(fake smile...but beautiful little face. Melts my heart)


 Another sad moment that obviously lead to an explosion of emotion depicted by the below picture.
 Reid is probably wondering why we think he is the loud one:-)
 Some how we managed to get this picture before the melt down. Well done Jess!

Happy Holidays 

Love,
The very blessed Colorado Stryker Family
