My Love

10 Years!! I can't believe it!! Ok, well we have only been married for 9 as of yesterday, but we have been together for 10!! We started dating a year before we were married so that means we have spent the last 10 years together. WOW! 10 years is a long time and it has gone by so fast. When I think about how far we have come and all the changes that have happened in our life I can't help but feel grateful for the many blessings we have experienced.

I am grateful everyday that Josh came into my life. He is such a great man and he works so hard to take care of us and makes it possible for me to be home to take care of the kids. We have many differences and we are definitely not the same people that met and fell in love 10 years ago, but that's good right?? We have grown and learned together and we still have a long way to go and I hope he is at my side the rest of the way!

Update

We have been having a fun, but crazy busy summer! It has gone by so fast and I can't believe school will be starting again soon. I will have some posts coming soon to let you see what we have been doing.

Last Day of School

YEAH!! Today was the last day of school for the kids. I am looking forward to having a break from running to the school 3 times a day. We are excited for summer and can't wait to do a lot of fun stuff!

You look like a fish!

So the other night the weather was so nice, so we decided to go on a family bike ride. As we were riding Chase says from behind me, "Mom, you look like a fish".
Me: "I look like a fish??"
Chase: "yeah, because of your pants"
I looked down and the bottoms of my pants were flared out from the wind and somehow to him they looked like fish fins.
Where do they come up with these things! :-)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYLEE!!

So this post is a couple of weeks late, but I am just now getting time to sit and write. My baby girl turned Seven and I can't believe that she's not a baby anymore!

Kylee I want you to know how much I love you and how much you changed my life when you were born. We were so happy to see you and we couldn't believe how cute you were! You have never done things the easy way, that's for sure, but once you figure it out you are on your way! Your concern for others always amazes me, you are always so willing to help. I love that you like things clean and organized even if your idea of organized is different than mine and Dad's. I'm always in awe at how beautiful you are...you have already given your Dad a few gray hairs. I love that you love him and are so much like him. I love when you smile, when you laugh, and the look you get when you get embarrassed. You are so special and we have enjoyed watching you grow into a wonderful little girl!

We hope you had a great day and you felt like a Queen!! We love you!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHASE!!

Six years ago today I was so overwhelmed at the reality of having 2 babies to take care of. It's hard to believe that it has already been six years, but I remember that day like it was yesterday. I was so excited to see you, but so nervous that I wouldn't be able to do it. You came so fast and I was so happy. I couldn't believe what a good baby you were. We tried a couple of times to make you come when Mom was ready but you wouldn't have any of that, you would only come when you were ready. That's the way you are, you always do things in your own time and are never in a hurry, even when it drives me crazy! You have been such a blessing in my life and I am so thankful everyday that I have you. You say the funniest things and always make me laugh! You are so sweet and loving and I love that playing with my hair is a comfort to you. I love that you still like to sit on my lap and will sometimes fall asleep when you do. You are so smart and are always listening and learning. I hope you always stay like that and always know how special you are!

We hope that you had a great day and you felt like a king! Happy Birthday Buddy, we love you!!
