7 years!

Kevin and I
Of wedded bliss, LOL!  OK, it hasn't always been blissful, but it's been awesome. :)  I love my Kev. :D  We've been through a lot, but it's been fun getting through it together.  I'm so glad I married my best friend. BTW, that's not flowers it's a pinata's arm...

The BIG birthday!

Aiden, Baby Joey, Family Fun, Kevin and I, Michael, Pictures
My little boy is now 6, and my hubby is now 29!!! Yesterday was a VERY busy day. In the morning I couldn't sleep anymore once 6:30 rolled around, I was so excited for my boys. They didn't share my enthusiasm so much, at least not that early. We dropped off the big boys, and the little boys and I went birthday shopping. We got Michael one of those giant balls that he's had his eye on for some time, a track, like a pine wood derby track but for matchbox/hotwheels, and some clothes. We got home to chill for a little while and then went to pick up the cake and take it to Michael's class. That was a blast! It was so fun to be in his class…

Michael’s “Texas Cowboy” Birthday Party

Aiden, Baby Joey, Church, Family Fun, Kevin and I, Michael, Pictures
We had Michael's birthday party today. We only invited the kids from his primary class and their families which turned out to be just right. He insisted on a cowboy theme, so that's what we went with. We ended up having six Mama's, just our Dad, and about sixteen kids including our three. Here's a picture of Aiden before the party, longingly looking at the cake, the funny thing is I have one very similar of Michael doing the same with Aiden's 2nd Birthday cake. We had hot dogs, potato salad, macaroni salad, chips, and baked beans. I planned on cutting up fruit but never got to it. Haha! Then we went outside and took a shot at the cowboy hat pinata. Michael has been talking forever about doing a…

My Lifes Soundtrack

Kevin and I
Or not, LOL! OK, this is the other half of the chocolate and music gift. I didn't send the Chocolate Mix Skittles in case she didn't like them, she is pregnant, so you never know. ;) She got a box of Choxie Truffles instead. These are all songs that mean a lot to me. I mostly put them in chronological order of when they became special to me, some are where they are just cause that's where they fit best in my life. 1. Lullaby~ Billy Joel This song has always been special to me, my Dad used to be a big Billy Joel fan, and when he bought the CD I fell in love with this song. I think it's even better from a parent's perspective. 2. Day-O (Banana…

On the Mend, hopefully…

Aiden, Baby Joey, Family Fun, Kevin and I, Michael, Pictures
It's just after Noon, and I'm just finally getting out of bed today. THANK-YOU Kevin, he was able to stay home today... We've been lysoling everything, and I've been doing my best to take care of me while he's been doing his final brushing up for his exam tonight. Lastnight I was able to get that long shower and it helped, By 1 AM I felt like I'd be able to survive again this morning, this morning it was a different story. Aiden just came to me patting his belly, saying "Honkey, tummy, food!" I said, "you're HunGRy?" Aiden~ "Yeah!" Me~ "OK, I can't fix you anything, go ask Dad." Still patting his belly, "I'm Honkey!" Me~ "I know, go ask Dad." Dad already has something cooking for him, LOL!…

Taking the plunge, what I like about me.

Kevin and I
Short version, a friend challenged fellow readers to name some things that they like about themselves and blog them. Long version, read post titled by the same name on Jenni and Will's link in my blogroll. I've put it off till now, but now I need a pick-me-up. I love my eyes. I think they're rather pretty and speak a lot about me. Here's a pic of my eyes I did a while ago, a year or more. I honestly thought about this one before I saw Jenni's eye paragraph and pic about her eyes. I'm having a hard time with this, I can think of things I like, but not really things I like about myself. I like my calfs. I know weird. I think considering my overall weight,…

My Wonderful Husband

Kevin and I
I think Kevin has forgotten how incredible I think he is. He's being hard on himself right now, that happens sometimes, but I think he's awesome anyways. It takes an awesome kind of man to have put up with my faults all of these years. During pregnancy I can't do dishes. It's BAD. During each of my pregnancies he's completely taken care of them. Even when I haven't been pregnant it's my least favorite chore and he's usually taken over them rather than waiting around for me to do them. A year ago, right before getting pregnant with Joey I'd made a personal goal to do more dishes so that that mantle woudn't fall squarely on Kevin's shoulders, I started doing at least one batch a day and he breathed…

Much better.

Aiden, Baby Joey, Church, Family Fun, Kevin and I, Michael, Pictures
Marissa, my visiting teacher, came over this morning and it was really nice to see her. Pamela moved away this week (Whaaa!!!) I'll miss her so much, but it was fun to see Marissa and her sweet new son (he's even newer than Joey). I worked on my re-designed business cards (BTW getting nowhere with those), and researched Michael's birthday cake and I'm trying to decide if I'm brave enough to do a cake or if it'd be funner to just buy a fun one... When I went and got Michael I decided to go to the zoo again (we went Wednesday with Playgroup), we had a good time, when it came time to go get Kevin he decided to meet us there, so we all got to play at…
