Mom and Kids day out

Brooke ducking cuz Nick was squirting her

Painting pottery at Brushfire

On Saturday while Dave was at his friends 40th birthday party the kids and I went to Fiesta Family Fun Center, Brushfire, Pasta Factory and then to a movie.  It was a good day!  At Fiesta the kids rode the bumper boats.  I had a hard time convincing Nick that he couldn't test drive every bumper boat to decide which one he wanted to drive.  Silly boy!

Brooke's Start Into Politics

Soooo proud of Brooke!!  She's been wanting to be on the student council for a couple of years.  Last year the silly girl forgot to turn in her application.  This year though she didn't forget!  AND she made it!!! She's so excited and we are SOOOO proud of her!!

Nick's Funny Moment

Kids say lots of funny stuff. But Nick seems to go above and beyond. The other day we were on our way home and I saw a a truck pulling a 25' Chaparel boat. So, I told Nick, "Hey Nick, look at that boat".  He said, "Well, hello there beautiful!"  Thought I'd die laughing!  He sure does love his boats! :)

~Love~

I know that lots of people are lucky enough to find that one person that makes you complete. I know that lots of people are fortunate enough to share their life with someone that is a wonderful parent. I know that lots of people are blessed enough to be able to go through life with their best friend. However, somehow when it's me that has this wonderful person I feel more blessed than everyone else.

I've been having back problems lately and for some reason last night it was really hurting bad. I must have woken up 5-6 times crying in pain. Every time I woke up my sweet hunny would rub my back until I fell back to sleep again.

It's the little things that make a relationship work. The unspoken words that are shared in a glance across the room. The running to the store just because someone is craving a Sprite. The understanding when I need to go to the grocery store just to get a few minutes of peace and quiet. The loving looks when I feel fat and ugly.... It's the little things.

I love my husband more than I could ever put into words. I love my best friend more than I could ever express. I love my soul mate more than is comprehensible. And I thank God that all 3 of those people are my sweet Hunny.

Anniversary

Today is our 5th anniversary.  When I look back at everything we've been through especially in this last year I realize that we are truly blessed to have found each other.  I couldn't have designed a better dad for our kids or a better hubby for me. I'm just so thankful that God put him into our lives and that he decided he liked us and stuff! ;-)

It sure makes a difference when you're married to your best friend.  I LOVES MY HUNNY!! :)

Nick's Note

On Nick's first day of school he came home with this note.  I think it's going to be a good year! :)

Kids First Day of School 2010

Brooke started 6th grade this year. She's in an intermediate school. I can not believe she's that big! Nick's in 1st grade and was really excited to eat school lunch. I find this odd but whatever makes him happy I guess!
