First Dance Recital!

We are so proud of Brielle she was awesome dancing at her first recital and looked so very cute! They danced to Under the Sea from The Little Mermaid, towards the end she could hear us but not see us since it was dark so she put her hand over her eyes and that didn't work so she made her hands like binoculars it was hilarious! We love our funny Brielle! We cannot wait for the years of recitals to come! Brielle's cousin Taeler was also in the show she did three dances and was amazing. Love ya Tater tot, thanks for being a good example to your cousin!

Mother's Day Tea Party

Brielle and I had so much fun at her schools Mothers Day Tea Party. She treated me like a Queen and sang some really cute songs, brought me a huge plate of yummy finger food, and even poured our own waters! She is so cute and such a performer. Thank you for the fun tea party Brielle I enjoyed our time together. She even took my picture can you tell which one she took?!

Singin in the Sprinklers

We just got home from dropping off Hunter and Brielle off at school and I start putting away the dishes when I hear Sophie singing and laughing and find that she went out her personnel door (doggie door) and was playing in the sprinklers with the dogs! The three things she loves best, the dogs, water, and being outside! Love this funny girl!

Surprise!!!

Yay!! The party was a success and TJ was totally surprised! He had a ton of friends, coworkers, and family come and it was so much fun to see everyone. I want to thank my Mother-in-law for letting me bug her almost everyday asking so many questions, for letting me take her photobooks for the slideshow, and bringing a car load of food! To all our friends and family who brought yummy food and for helping me! And for Curt, Heather, and Cecilie my neighbors/friends who are so much more than friends they are family, they kept me sane and did so much for us! I don't know what I would do without them! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I think the pictures say it all....

Happy 30th Birthday Monkey!

TJ being the awesome Dad he is, is playing playstation with the kids before heading out to golf with his friend so I can get ready for the big surprise party!!! I am getting so excited and nervous and all those feelings you get before a big party! So I decided while I wait to write some reasons why I loveTJ!
He has the kindest, most warmest heart of any guy I know
He has the weirdest, funniest sense of humor and can always make me laugh
There is a saying on my friends blog "If you can't love me at my best you sure as heck don't deserve me at my best' -Marilyn Monroe. It is true for me, I truly believe he loves me and puts up with my ever changing attitudes! lol
He wold do ANYTHING for anyone! This drives me crazy most the time because people take advantage of him and he doesn't have a whole lot of free time but this is one of the many reasons I do love him so much!
He can do anything! He can fix anything, make anything, you name it he can do it!
Look at him! He is so handsome! Even after almost five years he still makes me melt!
I know no matter what happens he will always take care of us.
He is the best Dad, he works so hard and still finds time to coach all Hunters sports teams, goes to all their school functions, and plays with them.
He is a movie junky, he could watch movies all day and loves the redbox
He eats junk like its going out of style! He always sneaks candy at his Mom's and even in the middle of the night I hear him unwrapping something!
He goes like the energizer bunny! He amazes me at work and home too he just runs around so fast its crazy!
He loves to cook and is really really good at it. He is always making something new.
Well there is so so much more but I gotta party to throw! Happy Birthday TJ hope its a special day for you, you make everyday special for us! Thank you, we love you
The pictures are of this morning we opened presents and TJ got some new clothes and some little things and then he showed us the two balls on top of each other trick!

Golfin Party!

With the help of my brother-in-law Steve (Thanks you so much I owe you big time!!!!) all the guys were able to go golfing at The Ledges. TJ has wanted to golf there for some time so he was so excited! From what I hear TJ had some birthday luck and played really good considering he isn't able to golf much these days! Thanks guys for taking him, I think its a start of a great birthday tradition! I also want to say my hubby is the best I gave him the camera and told him to take pictures and he did! Lots of them! YEAH!!! Are they just the most handsome guys in the most beautiful scenery?!

Just keep swimming swimming swimming..

Sophie's first swim of the season!!! She is going to be a fish like her brother and sister! See loved it! She didn't like her floaty car because she couldn't splash around in it, but she she loved going back and forth on the step and getting in and out. When Brielle got her towel out Sophie thought it was neat and kept trying to lay her towel out too. She is so much fun! The kids had a blast and TJ got a tan since he got stitches in his hand last week from cutting it with a box cuter. I swear he is always cutting himself! Thanks Curt and Heather you guys are great! We cannot wait for summer swimming!
