Happy Birthday to my Man (and Happy Anniversary too)

Engagement Pictures (2002)

It's my Hubby's birthday today. He turns 33! He never likes his birthdays, he hates getting old, but we always try to make it special for him. Of course today he had to take a one day road trip for work and won't get back until late so that kinda stinks on your birthday. But we will have surprises waiting for him when he gets home. Also we are celebrating our 8 year anniversary tomorrow! (what were we thinking making our wedding day the day after his birthday?!) I have to buy so many cards and gifts at this time of the year because of Father's day too.  So with the boys cards too he gets a total of 5 cards this week, maybe 7 if they each want to give him their own card for his birthday and father's day.  Crazy!  I try to make each day special for him.  I can't believe it has been 8 years already. We have been through a lot of hard times and good times. I am soooo thankful I could go through all of it with him by my side!
Here are a few reasons why I love the guy:
he always wants me to be happy
he's a hard worker
he fixes things
he's an amazing father
he always puts others' needs before his own
he's a righteous priesthood holder
he spoils the kids
he puts up with my crap
he'll watch "Twilight" with me any day
he's got a nice butt

Happy Birthday my sweet man!

Memorial Day

Here are some pictures from Memorial Day. My family was here and it was really nice to have everyone together again. I finally got to meet my youngest niece Amaya and she is already 7 months old! The kids had a lot of fun together and got along great which was nice too. :)

They all wanted to dress up.  Thank goodness we had a Hannah Montana Costume for Kate to wear. :)

I just LOVE this picture!

Random Pics

Busy, busy over here. School will be out next week. And someday maybe it will get warm here and be summertime. The kids (and I) are going a little crazy not being able to get outside and get some energy out.
Keith put hardwood floors in, took out our tree in the front yard, works way too hard, and fixes all of the way too many things that break in our house way too often.
I clean, pick up, feed children, wipe bums, wipe snot, wipe tears, yell, (i'm working on that one), settle fights, wash piles and piles of clothes, do the dishes....(I could think of many many more but it is late and my brain doesn't work anymore)
kids had tee-ball (glad that's over with), had the whole fam was here for Memorial day (pics of that coming soon)
Anyway, here are some random pictures of our recent life happenings. Enjoy!
