I love you Adrian!!!

So, Tuesday is our 5th wedding Anniversary. It really feels like it has been60 + years! We have accomplished so much in 5 short years! We have 4 kids, 2 dogs, have bought a new car, a minivan, and a house. It has been really great. I can't imagine being married to anyone else. I don't think anyone else could handle me! We are celebrating our anniversary today and going to dinner, so we decided to give gifts today too. Adrian got me the best present ever, a Canon Rebel camera with all the special lenses and flashes. I am so excited! I am slightly overwhelmed at the thought of having to learn all of the buttons and switches on it, but I shall! I love you so much Adrian, thanks for the fabulous gift!!!

I love summer!!!

I am so excited that it is finally summer!!! Kylie finished preschool last week, and Ethan had his last day of school yesterday. Even though they make me a little crazy, I am so happy to have my kids home for the summer. I love being able to go places all together and I love having Ethan home to help with the other kids. He is such a great big brother and really takes good care of Derek. I can't wait to start swimming lessons the end of June, and to go up to visit my sister and my fabulous niece and nephew in Seattle. This is going to be such a fun summer. The kids are at really good ages to do fun things.

Oh what fabulous dogs I have!

So, I really love my dogs. They are the best. Daisy is 2 years and Durban is 1. They are both miniature dachshunds, although Durban is not that miniature. They love the kids and they are so protective of Derek. I love them so much!!! Also, the weird looking picture of Derek, I did with photoshop. I absolutely love photoshop. It is so fun to just mess around with my pictures and do funky things with them. I will post more of my creations later.

I am so blessed!

I am so very blessed to have such beautiful and sweet little children. I love them so much . Ethan is nine and will be going into 4th grade, Kylie is four and will be starting her second year of preschool, Blake is three and will be starting preschool, and Derek is 7 months and is absolutely the sweetest baby. I am so happy that they are mine!

Picures at the park

My sister Jamie was visiting from Seattle with my beautiful niece and nephew and we took some pictures at the park with our kids. They turned out pretty good. Getting four kids to look at the camera and make pleasant faces is pretty dificult!

Hi, so I am finally starting a family blog. I decided that I better do it, since I am so out of the loop. Hopefully all of our friends and family will be able to see what we are up to, and see all of our beautiful children and how they are growing.
