Another One Of My Favorites


This picture of my children is just so cute. Had to share!


Random Pictures From Sunday


Here are some fun pictures from the weekend. Madison was doing what she always wants to do...swim. And...daddy was playing with Ethan on the swing set...hmmm..a little young for it but they are cute pictures. It was Ethan's 1st time in the infant swing...but he needs to be a bit bigger to be able to swing in it.




10 Weeks


Oops..didn't have time yesterday to post his 10 week pictures. Isn't he the cutest little sweet boy!! Gosh we just LOVE him sooooooooo much...how could anyone not?

The Cottage


We went up north to the cottage over the weekend. Unfortunately we were not able to stay as long as we would have liked. Hopefully there will be another opportunity this year.

I didn't take our camera so I have no photos. Madison had a BLAST to say the least. She loves playing with her cousins Kenzie and Kyia (Kevin's cousin's daughters). They all went tubing together. Madison loves to go tubing. Madison kept saying "a little bit faster." Evidently the other girls are not like that...not as brave or something. But they each said it after Maddie did...and than we heard "I want to go home." Kyia wasn't too into it..but she did have fun. They also swam by the dock...I think Kenzie and Maddie more than Kyia. I can't even begin to count how many times they went from clothes to swim wear. I am glad that I told Maddie that she could only take 2 suits. I wouldn't have been able to find them all. She changes her suit so many times. She can barely get in the water in one and next thing you know here she comes in a completely different one. I am crossing my fingers that Amanda got a great shot of the girls tubing...she did have her camera...at least someone was prepared!

Our 7 Year Anniversary...July 28th


*Yesterday was our 7 year wedding anniversary. It seems hardly possible that we've already been married 7 years, but it happened. I guess that's what happens with time, it sneaks past you without a sound leaving you wondering where the time went.
*Kevin worked 2 jobs yesterday...a side job for his old boss (construction) and his regular job at Gulfstream Aerospace. So...I only saw him briefly when he came home for about 30 minutes to change into his Gulfstream apparel. We will probably celebrate our anniversary this coming weekend...last weekend we were up at the cottage...
*Kevin was able to open the gifts that I got him and he felt bad that he hasn't had time to get me anything. I wasn't expecting anything. It didn't bother me. Why? Well...because he has given me more than I could ever have hoped or dreamed for.....LOOK AT OUR 2 BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN!! I have been blessed. I married the love of my life. Kevin is truly a WONDERFUL husband and daddy. What more could I want? If I had to do it all over again...I would. No doubt about it. I would marry him all over again in a heartbeat.
***I LOVE YOU KEVIN!
*Madison and Ethan had fun posing for this photo...well maybe just Madison. Ethan has no clue. :o) She thought it was fun/funny to lay on the floor with brother and make a 7. We sent the photo to Kevin last night for our 7 year anniversary. Just something fun. I hope you could tell it was a 7...daddy..hm...he was so busy at work he didn't get it until he got home and I asked him. :o) 7 years!!! What a wonderful thing!! 7 is my favorite number...I had to have 7 attendants for Kevin and 7 attendants for me when we got married...and we got married in July...the 7th month. We really wanted to get married July 24th...my favorite number and Kevin's .... 7-24. But, the 24th wasn't on a weekend...it didn't work out. And...we weren't going to wait for it to work out.
*And...after 7 years.....I am blessed to still be married to my wonderful husband. Too many people get divorced. (I am not saying you shouldn't but so many people do) I told Kevin way before we were married that when I did get married I NEVER wanted to get divorced. I took my vows seriously. It was for life. He agreed. And...after 7 years...I became a mom to 2 wonderful children..."most of the time." Haha...Kevin and I think they are pretty great children though. After all, we must always remember that we *get* to be parents. It's an awesome responsibility that we should never take for granted.
