This year, we had our annual Fuerst Family photos taken by Becca – Avenue b Photography
It was a bit chilly but everyone toughed it out and Becca got some really great shots!
So thanks to the Family, for braving the cold and to Becca as well!!!
Enjoy!
Alana and I having some fun towards the end of the shoot. Yeah, Molly Shannon’s SUPER STAR!
I can’t believe its been six wonderful years since I married Joe. The time has just flown by and its been grand.

Six years and 2 kids later, I couldn’t be happier. Joe is the love of my life and I’ve been so blessed.
This year, we rented another hotel room. It was just so much fun in 2009 for my birthday so why not?
This time around, we stayed at the Sheraton, downtown Denver, right on the 16th street mall. It was gorgeous. We were on the 20th floor and it was a beautiful hotel. Amazing!
We ate dinner at BD’s Mongolian BBQ and it was wonderful,. so yummy! And it was so much fun to walk from our hotel to the restaurant, I love the 16th street mall. We did ride the bus back though, it was all up hill.
For our anniversary gift to each other, we bought a new stereo for the car. The stock stereo was awesome but we wanted to have to option to hook our iPods/iPhones to the stereo so we wouldn’t have to burn cds all the time. They also make stereo systems now that have BlueTooth technology so, if someone calls me while I’m in the car, the music stops playing and the call is over the car speaker system, totally hands free for me. I LOVE IT. It was an awesome purchase.
ANYWAY – The next day we ate breakfast at VI, which was yummy. Browsed a few fish stores, saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 for the second time and then went home to relax.
It wasn’t super extravagant but it was a lot of fun and much needed down time.
Happy 6 Years Joe! I love you!
I loved the carpet!
Not sure what that door is for but the I thought the toilet handle was unique.
I really liked the tile too!
Yes! It was an OUTdoor pool and it was OPEN! Too bad we forgot our suits!
Love Denver!
These were just too much fun not to share. It was just an average Sunday but they were kind of matching so I decided to take a few pictures.
I got a good laugh instead. :D
Love my goofy boys!
Enoch does have a slight black eye that his brother gave him. Yes, sweet, not so innocent Travis BIT Enoch’s eye.
And Travis has a black eye because he fell and landed on a toy.
Classic…
It might look like chocolate….but, its lipstick. Tube #2, gone.
Sorry Tutu!
Sometimes it’s a lot of fun that Joe spends so much time at The Home Depot. He picks up cool stuff like this for the kids.
They got aprons and a cool car building kit that could totally be used for a pine wood derby later on down the road!
Wrestling. They do this ALL the time. Joe has taught them well.
A lot of people ask how we’re doing since the huge, life changing event in August. (Joe became Bishop).
It’s only been 3 and 1/2 months but we’re doing ok. Joe is extremely busy, to put it lightly.
He has had several side jobs since becoming Bishop which keeps him away from home on Saturdays and the evenings he’s not at church.
He spends Tuesday & Wednesday nights at church doing interviews and attending Mutual with the youth.
There were Thursday night meetings as well but those have sort of faded out. Whatever the topic was for those meetings got sorted out
to a reasonable level and I think that’s why they’ve faded.
Sundays are a whole other ball game. He’s out the door by 8:30 am, unless its that one Sunday of the month where he has to be at the stake center by 6 am.
Then he has meetings all before church at 1, church, then interviews/setting aparts/interviews after church. The latest he was at church on a Sunday was 8:30 pm.
He is doing really well, according to a lot of people in our ward, and is working and serving hard. He is completely exhausted when he gets home but oh so happy to see me and the boys.
The boys miss him tremendously. Travis often wakes up in the morning asking for Daddy.
We are trying to get a solid date night going, if not every week then every other week. Just so I get my Joe time.
We did have a week’s vacation to Lake Powell in October which was fabulous and well deserved but we also learned that its very difficult to get back into the groove of things when you’ve been gone that long.
Our 6 year Anniversary is coming up and all I can hope for is a little time off for Joe. Just to catch his breath and maybe a few zzZZzz’s.
I love you Joe and I appreciate all that you do for us. We’re behind you 100%.
