30

You are my husband.

My best friend.

My everything.

You are the Daddy to our 4 beautiful children.

You are the glue that holds us together.

The rock that protects us.

You are the shoulder we lean on.

The one who makes me laugh.

Always knowing just what to say.

You've seen me at my best and at my worst.

And yet you love me: for who I am.

And, yes, it is YOU who is turning 30 today!

Happy 30th Birthday! Love you!

We celebrated Carolyn's (belated) 5th bday and my hubby's (early) 30th bday with his side of the family. While this isn't the best shot of our family.. I love how Katie is trying to prevent John from blowing out the candles. Again.

I have quite a few shots from the party. But they'll have to wait. I need to recover the house for company tonight... and hopefully sneak outside and enjoy the sunshine. Even if it's only to hang sheets on the line!

Where is Mom?

Who knows... she's likely running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. Trying to do too many things at once and not getting any of them done! :) She's suppose to be getting ready for Carolyn's (belated) 5th birthday party.....

and.... Daddy's (early) 30th party!!!! Hopefully I'll be able to snag some pictures at the party tomorrow night. In the meantime, it's back to wrapping presents, throwing up decorations, preparing food, decorating cakes.. (somehow I decided to try using fondant to decorate ... just because I didn't have enough to do already), cleaning house, doing laundry, catching up on things around the house since we've been gone, taking 3 kids in for check ups... and some people think that stay at home mom's just sit on the couch and read books and eat chocolate all day! (well.. at least I won't be doing that today or tomorrow.. maybe on Saturday :0)

Right side up

There is so much I should, could, need to be blogging about.But at the same time there is so much I should, could, need to be doing in real life. Our life has never been more eventful than right now. But I wouldn't trade it for one single second. Who says you have to be right side up to enjoy life?!

Benji and Mom
We are getting spoiled with these southern winters and early springs. (Even though it's been the coldest winter on record since 79.. it's been a refreshing change from WI winters.) As I write this, the past few days have been .... perfect. 60-70. Sunshine. (It's predicted to rain the remainder of the week, so we're soaking up all we can) We hear the weather is shaping up nicely back home. The kids are hoping there's some snow left to play in when we get back. But snow or no snow mud.. they'll be happy to play outside.
