9th Anniversary

It is hard to believe we have been married for nine years. It has not been easy, but worth every minute. We fight, we yell, we make up, we love, we make sure that we kiss good night. Many people in our lives did not believe we would make it this far.

We have been blessed to have three wonderful children who bring us joy. We made it though four and half years of college, two moves plus two more coming in the next two years.

We enjoyed a night of watching a movie and going to dinner. We enjoyed talking and laughing over all the silly things we said and did in the last nine years. He got me a new rice cooker after the old one decided to go up in smoke(literally). I made him a family established sign for the house.

I am blessed to have a wonderful man in my life!

To my husband: I want to let you know I love you and thank you for loving a broken young woman. You make me strong and make me believe in my self. You let me cry on your shoulder, make me laugh, and trust me to be your wife. Looking forward to many more years to come.

To my wife: I'm lucky to be blessed with such a loving and fun wife. We've been through a lot together and I look forward to many more years together. You've helped me through so much.

Welcome Reia

I would like to welcome this cute baby girl to the family!



My new beautiful niece Reia Nicole joined the family on the 28th of this month. She belongs to my brother and his wife. She has a loving big sister ready to give her lots more love.

We love you all and wish we could be there to enjoy this new addition. Congrats!

Dedrick 34th Birthday

So yesterday was Dedrick's 34th birthday. He went to work and took out the techs for lunch. I made him steak and potatoes for dinner. We did not have any cake and ice cream til today. We were all too full from dinner. Then he just relaxed with the family.

I just want to say how I love my silly husband, who works so hard for his family. The kids love to get into tickle fights with him. We love him, and wish him a wonderful birthday!

Snow Days with Ice Days

So we didn't get a white Christmas this year. We did not get any snow till January 9th and 10th. So of course there was no school on the 10th. We had fun playing in the snow and the kids helped me shovel the drive way.








Last night we got freezing rain on top of some snow to make some very icy roads. So school was cancelled. Since the kids school is 5 or 6 miles from home I feel better. We do not live in a big city, but a very small town so better to be safe then sorry. So today we are painting and have a tea party!

Jumping

For awhile we have been thinking about getting a trampoline for the kids. We were thinking of getting a small one for the house, but it in the end was to small. So we thought about a big one, yet with us moving for the next three or four years it was out of the question.

I was at Sam's club some time after Thanksgiving and saw these trampoline.



It was the perfect size and will be very easy to pack. The other nice thing is when it starts to snow we can move it to the garage so the kids have fun all year long.



So as you can see the kids are having tons of fun!
