My Birthday Girls

I just wanted to say Happy Birthday to the girls. I love you with all my heart. You are my life, my heart, and the soul purpose for being here.

Birthday Girls!

The pinata broke before she got another turn. She took her frustration on it later, don't worry.

Cutie Pie Gracie and momma Annie.

Notice the crown I made him wear. Happy Camper!

This cake caused so much havoc in our marriage. I told Ryan I would never buy a nice cake again in our marriage. Wal-Mart cakes is what I am sticking to now. I promise it was not expensive. It was like buying a $25 dollar cake for each of the girls. Ryan wanted to know what happened to the ones that you bake at home. To all who are reading, please mention how beautiful the cake was.
His response will be ridiculous.

PS Ryan agreed to show our house at 2:40 today. The party was at 4:00. We set everything up in ten minutes.

Until next year.

The English Roses

I bought is book before Jade was born. I have Madonna's series of books. I buy kids books when they look interesting. I have for years. Madonna's books are great. I love them. I read it for the first time to Jade tonite and I found myself fighting back the tears! I couldn't believe it. All of her books have a life lesson in them. I wanted to wait to read it to Jade because it is for older kids. Since Jade is far beyond her years and far more mature than other children, I waited until she is almost 4. After I was done she said, "That was a great story mom."

So I was looking for a picture to put on my blog and there is a series of The English Roses. Plus it's own little world. The website is fun. Google it sometime.

My Joy

This is my joy in my life. I love this baby so much. This morning we had so much fun. She does things totally out of the blue. Blue meaning letting me know she is her own person in that chunky monkey body. This morning she gave me my first kiss(without being asked or told). She just looked at me with her mouth wide open. Finally, she yelled at me to tell me what she wanted. Come on mom! I am so lucky to be a mother to these girls. I believe my greatest gift and the sole reason of being a woman is being a mother. I can't imagine my life any other way.

Another trip to Bear World

Jade yelling at her dad.

They adore each other.

Bambi loves Mia's clothes. By the time Ryan got it her bow out of it's mouth it had swallowed the entire thing.

We made it !!! 10 years!!!

This is the only picture I have of us on this joyous occasion. I am quite sad about it. Now you know us by now. We are very blunt and honest about our blissful marriage. I asked Ryan if he could say that we have been happily married for 10 years. He said and I quote. " Ahhh... I would say 9 and 1/2 years." To my shock and disbelief I said, "What 6 months were bad?" Ryan then said, "Just a couple days here and there that added up to 6 months." I love this man so much you have no idea. He has given me 2 adorable children and we have so much to be grateful for. I am even grateful for the couple of days here and there that added up that apparently weren't that great. I guess we have made up and we are doing something right.

Yes, we came from Idaho to watch the game....

I am far behind on blogging so you will have to forgive my cluster of blogs. We recently went to Dallas for a great game. Bryan, Jeni, Ryan, and I went and had a blast. Everyone was shocked that we came from Idaho to watch OU. Yes, we are hard core fans. We are very blessed to have great friends.

We heard of a famous piano bar and I really wanted to go. I wanted Ry to get his singing voice and break loose the animal inside him. Well, we were the first to arrive there and so they got to know us fast. As you can tell Jeni is a great singer. This is her singing a little Bob Dylan. Ryan finally broke loose to a song I bet most of us don't know. You guessed it Free Credit Report.com. I came back from the bathroom and Ryan was standing up and singing at the top of his lungs.

Jeni tries really hard to be the subject of rumors. I love this picture. I guess you really had to be there. I am still laughing. Bryan was always in pictures when he was trying to get out of them.

I hope we can get to take the kids here one day. It was the coolest.

One great highlight was seeing were Kennedy was shot. It was a very interesting and to be honest quite depressing.

The famous grassy knoll.
