Our Day!!

Happy Anniversary! Happy Anniversary! Happy Anniversary to You!!

It has been 8 years of marital bliss, ;), ;). Even though I hate to admit it, I am glad my parents found you for me. Thank you for taking me to the temple to be married for all eternity, thank you for being the leader of our family, you continue to amaze me at what you are willing to do for me and for us. You continue to make me laugh and remind me to smile. You are my shoulder to lean on when things get rough, my teddy bear when its cold outside, and my punching bag when I need to practice self defense!! Plus I still think you are the sexiest man alive. I love you and I am looking forward to enjoying another 8 years together.

Hurry Home!

C Ya For Now!

I will be heading to Idaho and Utah for vacation, I will post again when I return. Enjoy the moments!!

Wire Whisks and Safety Goggles

Love the Safety Goggles! Today I taught our Craft group how to make soap. It was lots of fun getting to hang out with the girls and share something I enjoy. All of the soap turned out and they scented them all differently. The most unique scent was lavender and cinnamon!

Don't forget you can buy my soap on Etsy here

Being a Mom Rocks!

We spent a lovely day in our yard enjoying the warmer weather and being together. Jason caught a few great pictures for me to hang on the wall. I think they will remind me how great it is to be a Mom.

And this picture reminds me how lucky I am to be a wife, what a Hottie (and he loves his kids,too)!!

In the Pretty Garden the Veggies are Nodding!

Yummy. Jason planted a beautiful garden again this year. We will be enjoying cucumbers (got to have the fresh pickle crock), green beans, tomatoes, jalapenos, green peppers, and lettuce. Also our Raspberry patch is looking good. I just love Summer!!

Walk, Swat and Run

It is funny how the family outings you remember are the ones that go awry. We decided to get out of the city and enjoy a picnic and a hike at Kettle Morraine Park. We found a trail head that was virtually unoccupied. We enjoyed our sandwiches and Cheetos while we watched the sky, hoping it would not rain on us. Once finished we decided to take a 1.5 mile walk. We put Charlotte in her Baby Bundler, grabbed the water bottle and headed down the trail. We had not been walking for long when we noticed the heavy mosquito population! Jason and I consulted that we should continue on, surely the path would get sunny and there would be no mosquitoes. So we encouraged the kids to run to avoid being carried off. Well we ran the 1.5 miles as Jason and I tried to keep thinking positive that just around the corner it will get better. The kids cried and whined, but they jogged the whole way and we made it out with minimal damage. (Charlotte had none).

The Easy to Clean Highchair

Yeah!! The new high chair finally arrived. For Jayce and Grahm I used a PegPerego Prima Pappa chair that we bought out of the classifieds (in Sun Valley from John Unser-race car driver). I wanted to love this fancy chair that we got a great deal on, but I had to make a new cover for it. The cover I made was denim, the bad thing was all the puffs and noodles and food would get smooshed into it and then I would have to wash it or it looked gross. Also there were grooves and nooks and crannies for food everywhere. Well needless to say, I begged for a new high chair that would be easy to clean and I found it. It is a Boon high chair with no nooks and crannies and Charlotte looks happy to have a chair. I am grateful that Jason was so sweet and understanding. Its funny how little things can make your day.

Kindergarten Field Day

The school year is over! Jayce really enjoyed Kindergarten and made lots of new friends. I was lucky enough to get to go to Field Day and watch Jayce with his teacher and friends. You feel so blessed when you get to watch your son healthy and happy playing. I am so proud of you, Jayce.

Grahm, Charlotte and I hung out and watched all the fun, occasionally Grahm would get to play too. Grahm learned something new. Step 1 - Pick Dandelion.Step2-Apply to face (He actually fell or lay down to get his yellow blush!!)!

The First Tooth!

The First Tooth!! WOW!! He really wanted his tooth out, it was not quite ready. He had Jason really work on it. Jason even used tweezers to help get a better grip (I think mostly twisting-yikes!). Jayce would get teary, then he would take a break and get hugs from me, then he would go back for more. He finally had enough of Dad and had me pull it out.
