Fun, fun day!

Ceviche!!!!

We made ceviche a couple weeks ago & it was sooooo yummy! making me hungry!

 

7 Years!

We are celebrating our 7 year anniversary today! I can't believe how fast time has gone by. Tom and I have been so blessed! It's fun to look back and remember so many memories and experiences we've gone through together and how far we've come!

I'm very grateful for the man I married- he is such a blessing in my life! I don't know what I'd do without him... Marriage isn't always easy, but the good times far out way the bad. I hope we'll have many more anniversaries to celebrate together! I love you Tom!

Conversations with a 5 year old...

Today Andy & I laid in bed together and talked for a while... This is 1 of our many conversations, it was so cute I had to share:

I asked him, "Andy what was your favorite thing about today?"

Andy: "Everything!!!" (always so optimistic & happy)

Me: "OK, but what did you like the most?"

Andy: "I met a cute girl while I was on my bike ride."

Me: (thinking- didn't see that coming) "Really, what's her name?"

Andy: "I don't remember, but she was sooooo cute!"

Me: "What does she look like?"

Andy: "She has yellow hair..... (thinking).... and blue eyes- like mine, she's really beautiful mom!"

Me: (wow- my 5 year old has a crush), "...cuter than Sadie?"

Andy: "Yeah! and she said she likes me, she wanted to talk to me the whole time!"

Me: "Wow!"

Andy: "I hope she's talking about me right now."
(This really through me for a loop- what 5 year old thinks that?)

It was so funny, he went on to tell me where she lives and all the cool stuff she likes to do... which just happen to be all the cool stuff Andy likes to do. I just thought it was so cute that my little boy could have a crush @ 5--- he's going to be a little love bird, like his mommy & daddy- for sure!

Happy 4th of July!

We had a great 4th of July! We spent all day playing and having fun as a family. We started the day with a yummy BBQ- steaks, brats, & shish-kabobs..... and lots more! We swam in the lake by our house, and watched the fireworks! We had a great time!

Here's Andy showing off his shish-kabob:

Andy & Sean are such good buddies- they love each other so much!

Andy's Preschool Graduation!

Park days!

We have the neatest new park in Daybreak. It's right by the lake & has a beach area that the kids absolutely love, a park area equipped with swings, slides, bridges, & crazy webs that Andy loves climbing & swinging on. So, this has become Andy & Sean's most favorite hang-out!

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can tell- lots of fun!!!!
