It's my Birthday Friday July 1, 2011

I can't believe I am over the mark of being half way to FORTY, that's scary!! I am thirty six and I still feel like I have a lot of growing up to do, I don't feel this old, crazy! 

This is me at age four, I was such a tom boy! My best friend even was a boy who lived down the street. This is my favorite dog, she was truly my best friend, we did everything together. She was super patient, while the other dogs would jump out of the wagon while being pulled or jump out of the sled while going down super fast hills, she did not, she stayed in and enjoyed the ride and that's the kind of dog she was. She was always happy, you could tell, therefore she made me happy. I always had short hair when I was that age because rumor has it that I would cut my own hair, but I don't believe them, it was the boy who's mom baby sat me and he chased me down, they don't believe me however, but that's my story and I'm stickin' too it! 

And She's Off...

You know my girl who never gets up before nine is excited to go to girls camp when she gets up at SEVEN to get ready to go! I can't believe that this will be her third year going, she's growing up so fast, where has the time flown, I am getting teary eyed as I am typing this just thinking about it. She's a wonderful girl and loves all her new friends that she has made and the Young Women leaders are amazing and we are so grateful! She is a beautiful girl both inside and out. Her daddy surprised her by signing up to go on their six mile hike for girls camp, I'm sure he will make it fun for them as he always does and he enjoying embarrassing her to death!

I think we've finally figured out his feeding!!

He's our tuff to feed boy! So I finally got smart and only give him one bottle a day (I fed him more because I was worried about his weight and he didn't eat much and he didn't like to feed himself,uggh!). But now he likes to feed himself so I put a little table in the kitchen with a little rocking chair (because he likes to be constantly moving while eating) and then I put a terry cloth apron on him and VIOLA!  He's a mess most of the time but he feeds himself and he doesn't bug me for a bottle, YAY!

Training for Lucy

We just love this dog! We signed her up for a six week puppy classes and she's got some of the commands down already without a treat! Way to go luce! She's a funny dog...I could have sworn she was talking to me the other day when a girl from another country came to the door selling educational books and lucy kept scratching at my leg as I was standing there listening to this gal give her little sales pitch, then finally I looked back at her and she shook her head "NO" as if to say don't fall for that sales pitch, Ha ha it was funny! If anything it was perfect timing, ha!

Funny dog!

Preschool for the boys....

Since this state decided to cut special ed preschool for summer, I decided to pay my girls to do preschool three days a week for at least two hours so to keep JR ahead and use to do doing something so that he doesn't digress from his progress. Here they are singing "Once there was a flower." 

The girls are doing so good with them, I am so pleased and they get to earn money! 

Our 15th Year Wedding Anninversary Tuesday June 28, 2011

Fifteen years! WOW, has it been that long? We were married in the Seattle temple. I remember our wedding day...Sloane was crying and I was laughing, we were quite the pair! I have an issue every time we do sealings and it started with our wedding day, for what ever reason I get the giggles and can't stop I am sure our sealer thought I was a lunatic! 

It was the happiest day of my life, I have married the man of my dreams, literally! When I was twelve I would have dreams about my future married life and I could only see the back of my husbands head in the dreams and he had dark hair, so I always knew I would marry someone who had dark hair! 

We love the same things but different, if that makes any sense, we agree on just about everything and I love his ideas! We have had quite the adventure and I am sure we didn't expect our life together to be this eventful be we are grateful for what life has brought us!

I love everything about being married and yes I love SEX with my husband, wahooo!! I can say that since we're old folks and have been married long enough, HUH!

Happy anniversary honey, it's been fifteen wonderful years!
