11 Years!

I am so lucky to be married to the most handsome, devoted, caring, loving, understanding (<--- that one is big cause I am very hard to understand at times) romantic, fun, humorous, hard working person! I love you Andrew, & it does not seem possible that it has been 11 yrs! Time flies when having fun! Thank you for all you do for us. I couldn't be happier! 

Last night Andy & I celebrated our anniversary. He worked all day doing things around the house & then later in the evening with the kiddos asleep we ordered take out at Romano's Macaroni Grill. It was yummy & we had the lights turned down in our room reminiscing about our wedding day trying to think of every detail. During the day we'd stop for a minute of what we were doing & look at each other & say, "At this time 11 yrs ago we were doing" & then say whatever it was that took place at that time! It was a fun day & very relaxing romantic evening :) Thanks Andy! I love you babe! Here's to many many many many many more! :)

Mom My Ride

We Love Disneyland!

A couple of weeks ago we took the kids to Disneyland. We ate lunch (super yummy lunch) at Ariel's Grotto with all the princesses. Emma had the time of here life. We rode a few rides & then the kids were both chosen to fight the Dark Side. Gavin fought against Darth himself & Emma went up against Darth Maul, but before she knew what she had volunteered herself for she was back at out side with huge tears in her eyes. Gavin however, used the FORCE & not only defeated Darth Vader but fought off the 2 Storm Troopers as well. It was a fun day & Andy & I hope to return soon with the kiddos in tow! Here are some pics. Enjoy :)

Pictures

Okay, so I lag we all know this... Here are the pics. of Gavin's baptism.  Sad but true, as I look through the pics. this is the only one that is not blurry :(

What is a Black Leaf?

We were sitting at dinner tonight when Emma said, "I want more black leaf please" What is a black leaf? More importantly where does it grow & does it taste good? Apparently to Emma it does taste good cause she wanted more...... Okay so what's your definition of a black leaf?

Major Flashback!

A JC Penney catalog from 1977.

Found my next dining room set, which is apparently made by adding upholstery to old barrels:

 Also, I am totally getting this for my bathroom:

There's plenty more home furnishings where those came from, however I'm not going to bore you with that. Instead, I'm going to bore you with something else. The clothes.

The clothes are fantastic.

Here's how to get your butt kicked in elementary school:

Just look at that belt. It's like a boob-job for your pants. He probably needed help just to lift it into place. The belt loops have to be three inches long. And way to pull them up to your armpits, grandpa.

Here's how to get your butt kicked in high school:

This kid looks like he's pretending to be David Soul, who is pretending to be a cop who is pretending to be a pimp that everyone knows is really an undercover cop. Who is pretending to be 15.

Here's how to get your butt kicked on the golf course:

This "all purpose jumpsuit" is, according to the description, equally appropriate for playing golf or simply relaxing around the house. Personally, I can't see wearing this unless you happen to be relaxing around your cell in D-block. Even then, the only reason you should put this thing on is because the warden made you.

Here's how to get your butt kicked pretty much anywhere:

If you look at that picture quickly, it looks like Mr. Bob "No-pants" Saget has his hand in the other guy's pocket. In this case, he doesn't. And what’s up with the matching coffee cup?.

Here's how to get your butt kicked at the beach:



He looks like he's reaching for a gun, but you know it's probably just a bottle of suntan lotion in a holster.

How to get your butt kicked in a meeting:



If you wear this suit and don't sell used cars for a living, I believe you can be fined and face serious repercussions, up to and including termination. Or imprisonment, in which case you'd be forced to wear that orange jumpsuit.

How to get your butt kicked on every day up to and including St. Patrick's Day

Dear god in heaven, I don't believe that color exists in nature. There is NO excuse for wearing either of these ensembles unless you're working as a body guard for the Lucky Charms leprechaun.

In this next one, Your Search For VALUE Ends at Penneys.

As does your search for chest hair.

And this -- Seriously. No words.

Oh wait, it turns out that there are words after all. Those words are What. The. H*** . I'm guessing the snap front gives you quick access to the chest hair. The little tie must be the pull tab.

Also, judging by the sheer amount of matching his/hers outfits, I'm guessing that in 1977 it was considered pretty stylish for couples to dress alike. These couples look happy, don't they?

I am especially fond of this one, which I have entitled "Cowboy Chachi Loves You Best."

And nothing showcases your everlasting love more than the commitment of matching bathing suits. And what exactly is she looking at?

Then, after the lovin', you can relax in your one-piece matching terry cloth jumpsuits:



I could go on, but I'm tired, and my eyes hurt from this trip back in time. I think it's the colors. That said, I will leave you with these tasteful little numbers:

Man, that's sexy.
