birthdays BIRTHDAYS birthdays

Since we've been visiting Missouri I decided to have the kids birthday party here too so all our family/friends could come! Here are a few pictures from the party! It was a blast! Tyler LOVED opening up all the presents, Storie's included. They both had a good time, ate great food (and cake) and got lots of goodies. Thanks everyone for coming!

Tyler's 3rd birthday & Storie's 1st birthday

time is really going by fast...

I've been working A LOT and doing this 30 day blog and really time has just flown by. I can't believe it is already the 5th of November...(isn't that a song?)

We're still visiting here in Missouri, we'll leave here the same day Jake gets in!!! Yipee! I CAN NOT wait to see Jake! It feels like it's been months instead of only 6 weeks. I am almost done with our Christmas shopping! Feels good to get it all out of the way early so I can just sit back and relax and enjoy the aproaching holidays! Tyler's 3rd birthday is in 17 days and Storie's 1st birthday is in 24 days! Oh and our anniversary (4 years!) is in 15 days! WHEW! Thank goodness we're knocking everything out at once! Here are some pictures from Halloween, i've really been neglecting everything since I've been working all the time and trying to at least keep up with the 30 day blog. Butttt here they are....enjoy! It was a fun, tiring night!

Day 24

Day 24: Something I've Learned

I've learned that tomorrow is not guaranteed. That just because you have something right now doesn't mean it is yours forever. I have learned to say I Love You to everyone important everyday. I have learned to never go to bed angry. I have learned that children are God's gift to us. I've learned that a baby will get into whatever she can while you are not looking. I've learned to respect everything we have earned and not take it for granted. I have learned what hard work really means. I've learned that bad things happen to good people.

Day 23

Day 23: Favorite Vacation

I guess my favorite vacation would be just one of the trips we've taken to Branson, MO as a family. I remember one in particular Jake couldn't come and I was really missing him (or so I thought, man what a wake up to military life!) but I was talking to him on the phone as we pulled into the campsite and who is sitting out on the picnic table waiting for me???? JACOB! He had driven 5 hours to surprise me in Branson for a day! I love that man! We always go to White Water and Silver Dollar City. We go down on the strip at night and play put-put, ride go carts, and play arcade games. I will always remember those trips with my family. I can't wait now til Tyler and Storie are old enough to take to Branson! I hope they enjoy it just as much as I did, and still do.

Day 22

I have been so bad about my Momarazzi Mondays so hopefully later tonight I can put up some pictures that I have been taking. Storie is also officially walking...when SHE wants too.

Day 22: Favorite City

My favorite city has definitely been San Diego. There is just so much stuff to do for couples and families. We find something fun to do every weekend.
