my life

Okay, so I was looking through my older posts and I realized "wow, I blog a lot about my girls. There is good reason for that, I adore them beyond measure! But, that aside, I thought I would share a bit of what I have been up to lately.....

First of all I have to brag about the man I married and the fact that, as of last Tuesday, we have been married for EIGHT years! Wow, that makes us sound old doesn't it? I suppose that's the point though, growing old with the person you love. Well, looking back on our marriage I am grateful for all that we have done and been through "together", the good and the bad. I love that I get to have Michael as my partner in life to go on road trips , race to the couch with after the girls are put to bed to watch "LOST", to look over at the same perplexed look on his face as mine after "LOST" is over, figure out the bills together, tackle dirty laundry, dirty dishes, dirty diapers, all together, and at the end the day lying in bed and laughing about all of the cute things our girls did and said that day. We don't have it all figured out, that's for sure, but we are learning and making memories while we do:) What more in the world could I ever ask for? I love you Michael!









Speaking of my amazing husband, for mothers day this year he created a garden plot(not an easy feat, he had to cut/dig out the grass, pull out a tree, and line the garden with pretty bricks, via his wife's request) and planted a garden in it for me. We will reap the rewards of his hard work with tomatoes(oh, so many tomatoes) peas, peppers, cilantro, watermelon, raspberries, oregano and thyme. I am so excited to have fresh fruits and vegetables right out our back door. My favorite thing in the evening is to go out and water my garden while the sun is going down and the girls are running around our backyard in their pajamas.





Look at those cute little buds.

And on a last note. The excitement and anticipation has been building in our home because a week from today my mom and niece are coming from Kansas to visit us. Michael has been working like crazy on the basement so that they will have a room all to themselves, with walls(I suppose that probably is essential in a room) and even a door. Thank-you Michael! It will be the first time my mom has seen our new house, it is going to be just wonderful having her and Avey here. There is so much I want to do with them, but mostly I want to set time aside to just do nothing but talk and watch the sun set....sigh...that will be heavenly.

Those are just a few of the things that have been going of in MY life lately.
