Happy Birthday Honey!


January 18, 2009


I had all these old/embarrassing pictures of my very adorable husband...but can't quite upload them correctly after spending too many hours trying to scan and edit them...oh well...he loves me in spite of my many faults...

The man that fathered my child(ren) and loves to embarrass me terribly while roaming the aisles of Walmart...turns 32 today!

He has loved me for nearly a decade...even when I can be quite unlovable!
He ate Ranch Chicken our whole first year of marriage, when it was the only thing I knew how to cook...and didn't complain.

He records sappy country songs just for me.
He works 6-7 days a week...so I can have to privilege of being a wife and mother!!!
He will pull over on the side of the road at the sight of any lost dog and search out it's owner.

He plays endless games of Candyland with our three year old and takes him on McDonald's dates!
He puts up with my hair-brained ideas...and pretends to enjoy them!
He can tickle Tommy and make him belly laugh like no one else.
He shows me daily that loving unselfishly is God's best.

He makes the best airplanes for Tommy, throwing him up high in the air, and laughs at me cringing in the background.
He hasn't divorced me in spite of my many While You Were Out Episodes on our house.

He is faithful to his friends and family and puts their needs before his own.


He loves me for who I am...even when that is pretty terrible.

He pushes Tommy farther than I would and has made Tommy a better individual because of it.

Dogs just love him like crazy!
And he puts up with the giant orangutan (me) that sleeps in his bed every night!
I love you honey....Happy Birthday!!

2008 Year in Review

2008 was the year we splurged and bought a pool!
Hey...it's the perfect size for now...until Mama learns to swim better!


Yes, the pictures are backwards and somewhat out of order.
I am just not that swift or that patient to correct it!



My baby turns THREE! No, I am not ok with that! A big boy bike and a Curious George party! Yes, we did eventually get Evil Knevil a helmet!












Tommy on the Polar Express. Santa and Trains...what three year old could ask for more?








The Turkey Trotters found out that Mama has a turkey in the oven after their run!
Four years ago on Thanksgiving morning we also found out that we were expecting!!
A new addition coming August 2009!





Cancer SUCKS! We love you Papa!






I started running in February and finished my first half marathon November 1st with my oldest friend and maid of honor at my wedding. Two weeks later we found out that we were pregnant!





The Mr. and Mrs! Ahhh...young love!






Sir Topham Hatt at Halloween.



Fun in the sun with cousins at the beach house!






First day of PRESCHOOL! Yes, Tommy started preschool this September. I didn't even hyperventilate...I just kept breathing really, really fast! You would be amazed at how much growth has taken place....with me, I mean....not just the sweet little boy in the picture!




Have you ever had your life flash before your eyes?
Umm, yeah!
And I wasn't even the one in the car.
My darling husband didn't even seem all that fazed from running into a wall at 100 plus miles per hour.





Two cousins....two pairs of feet-y jammies...lots of tile floor...equals pure happiness!



The bride and groom! We love you Mike and Danielle!

Remember Mikey...Happy wife makes for a happy life!




Ahhh! Lax'in at the beach! Here is to 2009 and many more blurry pictures to follow!
