Kaely is "going out"

Kaely and mom 2008

So tonight I dropped Kaely and her friend Erin Hackett off at the movies to watch the new chipmunk movie!!! That was so weird and hard for me. I can't believe that she is old enough to be "going out" with friends. she was so funny as I handed her my phone and $20 bucks. You would have thought she was going to the mall with all the girlies and 500.00bukaroos. This is going to take some getting used to!!! When did they grow up so fast GGGGEEEESSSSHHHH

Here's to the next twelve........cheers!!

Twelve Years ago today I married my Best Friend!!!! I love that after all these years I am still falling more and more in love with him! There are days that are crazy and heaven knows we've had our share of hard times these last 12 years but I feel without those times we wouldn't be as strong as a couple as we are!!!!! and man were they tough!
I love the kind of Dad he is to our children and the kind of husband he is to me, we sync with eachother and I am so greatful for that!
I still get butterflies when I see his name come across my caller id on my phone or when he surprises me in the morning when I don't know he's come home for a few minutes, I love the way he comes up behind me and rubs my pregnant belly and kisses my neck, I love the way he gently kisses me before we get up in the morning from our prayers or the way he snuggles close to me at night and falls asleep! I love the way he LOVES ME!!!!!
I wish there were more time to be together but hey he's a hard worker and I appreciate that! I love the little trips we get when we get them! He is pretty patient when I'm not and calms me down alot! I love that he reminds me to smile, and everything will work out just fine!!!
I love you babe, and hope the next twelve are just as awesome as these were!!! Just without all the pregnancies :)

UUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

I feel like Christmas threw up in my house. I have about 30 totes with all my christmas stuff in it and it is slowly but surely getting picked through!!! It's just hard to get everything up when your husband won't let you get on the ladder but also is too tired by the end of the day to help with it!!!! UUUGGGHHHH!!! Kinda frustrating!!! I am way excited about our annual christmas party that is on Sat. I will post pics

and the results are..........

It's a Girl!!!! we are so excited but also shocked! We were all so sure it was a boy, Brian just keep's sayin "Well, looks like we get to do this again!!! He's smokin pot, cause that's not happening!

1 day and counting.....

we find out tomorrow what we are having!!! I am so excited and then Brian and I get a whole weekend to ourselves!!! I can't wait

Annual Cluff Halloween Party....2009

We had our annual Cluff Halloween party Friday night and it was a blast!!! Mom went all out as usual and the kids and adults had a blast! The food was so good and all the games and crafts mom had for the kids to do was wonderful!!!

The kids got to decorate pumpkins and I think the all did a great job.

Mom had a Dora pinata for the kids also!!!
