14 yrs down and eternity to go!

I just wanted to do a quick a little post about the most amazing man in the whole wide world to whom I've been married to for 14 years now!  Every single day I feel so blessed to have Josh as my husband.  He truly is my very best friend, my confident, my soul mate, my rock.  I can't imagine my life without him.  Josh has been my #1 supporter in everything I've wanted to do.  He backs me up, and picks me up whenever I need it.  When I think of our relationship I see me running around 100 miles per hour and him pulling me back in and keeping my grounded, reminding me whats important and what isn't going to matter at the end of the day. I'm so glad to have someone that I can trust 100%.  I am so grateful that I can be myself (the good and the bad) and know that we will love me no matter what.  He loves all of me.  He is the total package!  When I married him, I thought I loved him as much as anyone could, but that wasn't true, today I love him 14 times more then that day!  (on top of all that, he is the best dad in the world too)

Gage and Mason's 9th Birthday

Gage and his cousin Mason turn 9 only a week apart. It was fun to celebrate their birthdays together this year.  Since Mason's mom is so talented she made each of them their very own AWESOME cakes.  Mason's was a mind craft cake and Gage wanted a Green Bay Packer Cake.  And they tasted just as good as they looked.

They couldn't wait to take a bite out of them.

 

Not only was it Gage and Mason's birthday but it was also a very special family reunion with my neice.  I haven't seen Arianna since she was a toddler.  She lives is Las Vegas with her mom and has recently reunited with her dad (my brother) Radell.  It was so fun getting to know her and spending the day with her.

All the kids swam, Uncle Kellen was their main entertainment for the night.  He was so much fun with all the kids! 

Here is the whole family (minus a few members)
Jace was gone to scout camp, Channing and Radell were at work and Davinn he lives clear in Alaska.

I am so happy to see this family together as a whole
(minus Radell, he was at work, but I know his heart was there)

Date with my mom

In Sunday School at Church, our teacher gave away 8 tickets to St. Thomas Passion.  I was lucky enough to get 2 of them.  This isn't really Josh's thing and I knew my mom would love to go.  It was fun spending time with you.  The only reason I regret never having a girl is because I love the relationship the my mom and I have.  I hope that my boys will be as close to me as my sisters and I are to my mom. 

Summer Fun 2012

 

Des and I got together a couple of times before the summer ended.  (we should have done it more often cause the kids have a blast)  They came out and swam one day and they never got bored.  This pool was the best money we ever spent. 

 

 

Clay loves the water

Avery and Clay seem to always be attached at the hip.

Then another day Des and I met at a park that had a rope swing.

After the park we headed over to Millville.  Des took us to a bridge that the kids jumped off.

This is Clay's trick



Notice Gage under the bridge, he found a pallet in the river and made a raft out of it.

Jace jumped off once, then decided to teach his puppy how to swim.
