Ten Years!!

It has been 10 years since I married my best friend!!! 

10 years since I committed my life to loving 

and serving him,

my husband, with everything that I have. 

It has been 10 years since we decided

to not only follow our own dreams but to always 

consider each other and combine our 

dreams into one. 

It has been 10 years since we decided to do this thing 

called LiFe TOGETHER!!

And man are we sure glad we did!!!

It hasn't always bee an easy road, 

we have had our ups and downs like every 

one else but after 10 years we both 

can say that we love each other a million times 

more than we did that day 

August 6, 2005!!!

~still in love~

Summer~Time

All of you who know me know that I LOVE Summer!!

I come alive in the Summer. 

Although this Summer has been way too rainy for 

me I am still trying to enjoy it to the fullest. 

We have been busy visiting every park we know of,

swimming in our pool, having picnics, 

gardening, and enjoying life.

Here's some recent pics 

from our life.

So much FuN in the SuN!!!

My girls in my dress!!

Ok. 

So I took these pics last year. 

And for some reason I never posted them. 

Its an idea I got from pinterest (which I love) to 

take a pic of my girls in my wedding dress. 

So I did!

At one point in our marriage things were so tight

 I almost sold my dress but for this 

reason I am so glad I didn't. 

I still love my dress to this day and wouldn't 

change anything about it. 

I love these pics of my girls wearing it 

and will cherish these pics forever!!!

After 9 years of marriage it still fits!! yay!!

Six years of Motherhood!!

I have been a mama for 6 years now! Can't hardly believe it.
It's been an amazing journey so far!
I remember my first mothers day I was quite emotional.
Partially because it was my first but also because
my hubby didn't do much of anything to celebrate
my new role as mama.
I guess he didn't realize it was his job at that point.
So we had a conversation and let me tell you he has stepped it up.
This year he took such good care of me and made
me feel very appreciated and loved.

My girlies!!

Little helper! She truly was very helpful!

Homemade Salmon, Mushroom Risotto, and sauteed bean sprouts. Yummo! 

My morning started off with a hot bath and Peter taking 

care of all the girls morning needs. 

Then they gave me a few gifts and cards. 

We went to Starbucks (my favorite place) before church. 

Then after church we went and got me some 

flowers to make my patio look nice. 

The girls helped me pick the perfect flowers for the 

perfect pot. 

I took a 4 mile run and then Peter made me a delicious dinner. 

It was a very peaceful day and I felt so loved. 

So blessed!!!

My baby is 2!!!

I can't hardly believe my baby is 2!!!

My sweet little gem who was 

quite the stinker to get in this world. 

She was 13 days "late" and was

my shortest but my toughest 

delivery. 

She's my little Spring baby!!!

She has been such a blessing to our family.

Such an easy go with the flow kinda girl.

 She is beautiful, spunky, goofy, and oh so cute.

She loves following her big sissys around! 

Gets mad when she can't keep up 

but follows anyways. 

Mamas girl!!

Thank you God for my little gem!

~Happy Birthday to Opal Rayne!!~

HERE is her birth story if you would like to check it out!

Field trips!!

We have had fun the past month going on some 

different field trips for school. Our first

one was the Crayola Factory. 

Peter was off and was able to 

keep the little 2 so it was just me and my

big girl! And we met one of 

Noni's girlfriends there.

It was so fun, like a little adventure! 

Making her own custom crayon labels!

Crayons crayons and more crayons!

This was so neat. You color a pic on a tablet type thing
and when you are done it is projected on the wall and you
have to find it. 

We found her favorite color marker right before
we left. PINK!!

..................................................................................................

Then we went to a local fire house.

Not much to say about that. It was fun 

and informative. We have to work on our fire safety plan now.

 .........................................................................................................

Then we went to a goat farm. 

He has about 25+ goats. He milks them 

and makes cheese and sells it at our local farmers market. 

I'm excited to go get some, he was out when we were there.

He had about 10 baby goats, only 4 days old, 

that he left out to wander around. 

Noni fell in love and just played with the kids 

the rest of the time.

We learned a lot about goats!
