8 Years later...

8 years ago I was a young single mom who decided with her new boyfriend it was time to introduce each other to our 2 year olds. 

We planned a play date to planet kid, and the rest is well... history!

 From the 1st day they met he has been so good to her, and 8 years later she is such a daddy's girl!

 From the day I met Kade I knew I would always love him as my own, and from the day he met his sister they have been such good friends!

 A lot has changed! Like this smile has joined our family!

 Kade is still the leader and fun finder!

 But Jenna who use to be afraid of her own shadow (not even kidding)is now such a fearless fun spirit!

They all love each other so much like there was never a time we didn't all belong together!

 And I am so glad that we are a family, and I am the mom of 3!

 8 Years later, and I could not have imagined 
life would be this great!

Happy Veterans Day Weekend

On Veterans Day we get the privilege of celebrating the hard work of my sexy partner in life!

I try to do things for him to make him feel appreciate that weekend as well as teach my kids what an honor it is for him to serve!

He wanted simple family time, so we had a picnic dinner in the park,

Then we went and got doughnuts 

We started Christmas Movie nights for the season with Elf

Worked off our doughnuts the next day

And went to the Zoo on Sunday!

Curious James goes to the Zoo

6 Years, a marriage, and a baby after our 1st trip to the Zoo together :)

 Grandma Sue came to enjoy the fun with us!

James loved all the animals

But he thought they were all dogs, and barked at them

Cooling off :)

By big kids:)

All of the kids loved the butterfly exhibit 

 And you are never to old to play at the zoo!

 All the kids got to pick one toy to remember the day!

James of course picked a dog 

He calls him Woo Woo :)
