Happy 5th Birthday Mikah!

Mikah on his 5th Birthday. His Aunt Lisa made him that birthday pin, so cute!

Well, I have been slacking on my blogging duties and I should really catch up before I get even further behind! So much has happened since the last time I wrote, so I'll try to do bits at a time, starting with the biggest milestone in our family. My oldest, Mikah turned 5 on August 13th, AND he started kindergarten last week! I can't believe that 5 years ago Stephen and I became a Mommy and Daddy for the very first time.






Below is a photo of Mikah when he was just a few days old!

On his birthday he was so excited to see his picture on the local News. I had
e-mailed the show with his picture and birthday and he made it on there!


He started kindergarten last week and he loves it. I had some mixed emotions about it, him being my first born child and all. I've been a stay at home Mom with him since he was born, but I did put him in a Mother's Day Out program last year which I really think helped prepare him (and me!) He loves his new class and his teacher and is already learning so many things.

Here he is with his brother Casey on his first day of school.


I have so much more to blog about, but it is way past my bedtime, as always, so I will write later!

Nine Year Wedding Anniversary!

My husband and I just celebrated our nine year wedding anniversary on June 19th. I would have blogged about it on that date, BUT I didn't have a blog then, so this is a belated tribute to our amazing 9 years!

We first met in Drama class in Highschool. I was 15, he was 16 (I was too young to date then). I had a bit of a crush on him, I thought he was so cute and so funny. I loved the way he made me laugh! Over the next couple of years we would run into eachother, he would say hi to me as I was cheering at a football game, and I would be so frustrated that he didn't ask for my phone number! Then when I was a Senior, he applied at the local Dry Cleaner's which just so happened to be where I worked, and where my Mom was the supervisor. I gave rave reviews about Stephen and how she should totally hire him, and the rest is history. We were only 19 and 20 when we got married, and shipped straight off to Virginia where we were stationed with the Navy (he was in the Navy, not me!) We lived there for 5 years and are now happily back home in Texas with our family. We have three beautiful boys now... more on them on a later date!

Happy Anniversary Stephen!
