10 Years~ Really?

This last week Chad and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary!  Yes, I did say 10.  It was a busy day for Chad.  He worked out early, then went to work, then came home, then went to church meetings til about 10 pm.  So, I just chilled with the kids and had a normal day.  I did buy him some sushi for dinner because he LOVES sushi!  We actually celebrated back in March.  We went to Maui for a week.... So here's to the one who knows my stories, gets my jokes, warms my feet, takes my side, ignores my quirks, finishes my sentences, soothes my worries, and even makes me a better me.... I love you Chad!

It ain't easy being cheesy!

We went to the top of the Volcano to watch the sun rise and it was freezing!

We must have both been eating treats at the same time!! 

My Busy Life~

Rockstar!!!  Last day of school!!


There is so much to say about my life and these pictures.  I feel like I could explode with feelings and emotions.  There is always so much to say!  We went to Moab, we finished Girl Scouts for the year, Alex is all done with Kindergarten, we had whipping cream fights.  We laughed and cried, we got sunburned and tired, we had a fun family trip, we won awards, we made messes, we relaxed, we experienced, we changed and we grew!  But most of all we are alive.... Living, breathing, and loving life! 



~Saturday is a special day~

Alex's machine pitch baseball game!

We make pictures AND sell them....



Also, we sell robots... just not sure exactly how much!



We do a little cleaning and a lot of squirting!

Don't be jealous, but they are all mine... Just like me...sweet and shy!

Zach is out of there!  C-ya!

Just another day in paradise!!!

Doesn't the song go like this, "Saturday is a special day it's the day we get ready for Sunday"!  So this is how we roll on Saturdays!  Not quite like the song!

Two Words

Apparently, the sun was in Alex's eyes!



At a parade in Paris, Idaho on the 4th of July (last year 2010)!

On the prettiest hike last October!!!!

There are two words that define me.  They give me identity, they give me strength, they wear me out, and most of all they make me so so happy!!!   ~ "HEY, MOM" ~  It's a statement, a title, a salutation, and even a question.  I love to hear my kids say, "hey mom"!

A blast from the past!

Chad and I the night before we got married, yes that was 10 years ago!
