A trip to Station #7

The twins have a firefighter for a Daddy. This means our boys get to take random trips to the Station. It would be nice to see Bill on these trips, however it seems we miss him every time. Duty calls!

We are happy for the time we get to see the twins though.

To Jeff, With Love

The smile on my face should say it all. I am so happy at this point in my life. I am especially thankful and glad for my best friend, he happens to be my husband too. When I think I couldn't fall in love with him more, I turn around and he winks at me, or smiles, or maybe he's quietly reading to the boys, maybe he's playing baseball with them, maybe he's calling me to tell me he just came in 3rd at a golf tourney, or he's playing tickle torture with Carter, or he's praying with the boys at bedtime. Maybe it's when he texts me to just say, Hi Love. Maybe it's because he thinks he's the lucky one. More than the perks of a Crate and Barrel table, trips to New York, new sewing machines he buys with only me in mind, it's the day to day dependability and trust interwoven into our marriage. The genuine love for each other and knowledge that I wouldn't want it any other way. I adore him, he adores me. I am so grateful.

A Big Boy Bike for Camden

A month ago I got Cam a new bike, thinking he would ride around with his brother..... then the weather hit over 110. So we ride inside. Cam is still getting the hang of it. but he sure had fun helping Daddy assemble the new loot.

Sweetest Baby Oliver

He is the product of two very special people, so by basic math that makes him doubly super special. His name is Oliver. He has stolen my heart. Chubby cheeks, baby fat, sweet smile, beautiful eyes and all. Today I miss him and his parents just a little.

13+ years of friendship, 3 marriages and 4 children

4th of July in San Diego

We got to take a little vacation with our favorite people, to San Diego.

Here is one of our favorites, out of the 6.

Went to the Wild Animal Park before we took the Mattson's to the airport.

Quick trip, hot but very fun! Took a quick stroller ride through the water to let the little animals cool off.
