Our Evening Out

We went out to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse for our Anniversary. We got a gift card there using our Visa Rewards or else we could never afford to go there! We sat down and a few minutes later, Ty's cousin Jenn came! Her and her husnband were there for a business dinner! It was funny! She took the lovely picture of us with our yummy dessert and cute little doggy bag! PS Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT look at my belly flabs! I'm workin' on it!

Seven Year Itch

Today, Ty and I have been married for 7 years. We have both grown and changed a lot.

We have been through many trials: having a baby so young and right away, having kids close in age, Ty's stomach surgery, my surgeries, my depression, moving, work, etc. We both know each other so well. We agree on almost everything and we both like the same things. Although he still doesn't quite get my sense of umor (humor, inside joke!). We get along great and we both wish we had more time to spend together, without kids! Anywho, I love ya, Ty! Happy Anniversary!

The Peacock

My sister and I went to Taipan about 2 months ago. As we strolled around her daughter, Emily, pointed out this ugly peacock. Karen showed it to me and we both had the same idea! We would give this poor ugly creature to our parents for an anniversary gift! Apparently, my parents received a very ugly gold "statue" of a peacock for a wedding gift. We had it on our piano growing up. I think it finally got given to DI or thrown away. So I bought the bird, it was on clearance but was still $6! Can you believe it? Who would pay $6 for that? We would! Anyway, we gave them the gift last night and we all had a huge laugh. Then we joked how it could get passed along to everyone on their birthdays! I have a feeling this won't be the last time we will see this tragic thing.

Back to Life!

I just finished the "Twilight" series. I started to read these books to get my mind off of life. I needed an escape. And it worked! I couldn't put the first two books down! The third I took my time on. This last one, I really liked the beginning but as it went on... and on... and on... I felt it dragged on. I'm sorry to all those who absolutly LOVED it all but I have to say I was disappointed! It didn't end like I wanted it to. I really wanted Bella to stay human and live a happy normal life, maybe with Jacob. And all the build up of evil Vulturi or whatever it is, was just a huge let down. Let Bella kick their bums! Anywho, I'm glad I'm done with them so that I can get on with my life. I have piles of laundry to fold, floors to clean, toilets to scrub, a screaming baby.......

This is just precious and cute!

This is one of my favortie outfits. All four boys have worn it. Everyone at church just loved the hat! Cody smiles at everyone too. It just melts my heart.

Kyle's 5th Birthday

This is Kyle opening his gifts on his birthday, Sept 7th. After every gift, he would say "I don't like this." or "Why did you get me the same thing?" (We got him several different sets of Hot Wheel race tracks) He was just in a bad mood. It made me cry and Ty yell. He threatened to take all the toys back. It was not a fun birthday.
The next day I made the Spiderman cake.
After dinner, everyone came over and opened presents and had cake. (These are out of order)
We went to the Training Table with all my family since it is Kyle's favorite. (He really says to try thryi mac n cheese. It's delicious!)
My cute niece, Jessica. We were talking the whole time because she was going to the Homecoming dance. I was so excited for her!
