Are We Sure We're Ready?

It's a little late, but I've been asking myself recently if I'm ready for another child...

I have one wonderful little boy right now who makes my life anything but boring. Look at this face:

But even with all his awesomeness shining in my life, I'm a little scared...okay, maybe petrified to think that in a month, maybe less, I'll have another little life to take care of. What are we doing?
Thankfully, a few days ago my little sister called to see if I could watch her little girl for the day. My niece came over and spent the day with us. She's an adorable little bundle of joy just over a year old. And we had a lot of fun with her. All day was spent playing!



Isn't she just the cutest thing? I asked Jake after she had gone home if he thought we were ready for another one. His answer: "Heck yes! I'm excited to be having a little girl soon. I am so ready!"

Okay, at least he is. Maybe I am too, and I'm just freaking myself out.

Somebody is Zonked

The other day in the mid-afternoon, the house suddenly became very very quiet. I went looking for DA wondering what he had gotten into and how I was going to handle the trouble. This is what I found:No trouble Mom! He just crashed. And boy does he snore!

After letting him snooze for a couple of hours, Jake decided he was going to have some fun. This is before...
Absolutely dead to the world, snoring, snuggling his most favorite stuffed animal.

This is after...

DA slept through all of it.

This is Why I Love Sundays!

Sunday really is the best day of the week. It's purely a family day. We spend almost every moment together. Getting ready and breakfast, Church, lunch, quiet time, dinner, family games and togetherness, bedtime snuggles and stories. That's what most of our Sundays consist of. This is why I love Sundays!

As an added bonus, dinner is always good. And company for dinner is fabulous!

Lovely Anniversary

Jake and I had a lovely anniversary together. He brought home this awesome bouquet of roses and lilies:

The card says, "6 roses for six years and extra flowers for all the fun." I don't think he could have picked out a more beautiful collection of flowers (and they're all personal favorites). They smelled incredible too!

Then we went to Benihana's for dinner together. YUM! We love it here:

You're Still the One

I've known my best friend for the last seven years and I've been married to him for six of those as of today. It's been a brilliant ride so far, and it only gets better every day. Looking back on the last six years, I can honestly say they've been the happiest years of my life. I feel blessed to be apart of this marriage and apart of this family. So here's to the last six years with my awesome, amazing, handsome, brilliant husband and best friend! I love you Jake.

Two Years Together

Skip a few years because I can't find the darn pictures!!!

Six Years Together and he's still the one. Always will be!

Soccer Game #2

Soccer Game #2 was a big success! We won 10 or 11 to 0! And DA was grinning from ear to ear the entire game. Makes it worth it when your kid is so happy, even when it's blistering hot. Quite different from last week. Here's some pictures from the game.

Waiting for the kick-off.
Victory Dance! DA just scored a goal. Yay!
His team is so much fun. We love it! Even when they don't have a clue what they're doing and take the ball from each other or stand around wondering why we're all yelling.
Having some fun with Mom while DA waits for his next turn on the field.


Isn't he just awesome?
Giving the other team a cheer.
High Fives all around! Everyone did great this time.

Snacks rock their world and make the whole game worth it. Notice DA is wearing his USA soccer shorts. The other ones were causing such a problem last week that we decided to just switch to something we knew fit.

Now for some live action shots. DA and his team-mates were on fire! It was a really fun game to watch. And Grandma Suzette came! Thanks Grandma, we loved having you there.
