Something I've looked forward to....

Our family has been VERY busy with camping, kid's b-days, getting ready to move, etc. However, that didn't stop me from anxiously awaiting the release of the new Daughtry cd this past Tuesday! I don't buy that many brand new cds but there are a few groups that I simply must get their cd as soon as it is released - Daughtry is one of those groups! I was in great need of some new music to enjoy! I have been listening to it for the past 2 days and LOVE IT!

5 years old already?

So I just celebrated my "baby" turning 10. Now my other "baby" is 5 today! I don't think I can think of either kiddo as my baby anymore, can I? I can't believe I have such big kiddos!

Happy Birthday to my big boy!

Austin has a difficult time just smiling for me so here he is being goofy!

One year since our engagement...

One year ago today, my handsome husband proposed to me!

We were camping at Grand Haven State Park. We went for a walk on the boardwalk to watch the sunset and take some pictures of the kiddos. We got to the boardwalk and my husband goes "Wow, there are a lot of people here!" And I'm thinking (and probably said out loud) "yeah, it's Saturday night in Grand Haven - that's to be expected." Well, later I realized why he made that comment. He was nervous about proposing with so many people around! Can't really blame him! It turned out to be a lot of fun to have people around because they started clapping for us after he asked me to marry him! This year for our "Engagement Anniversary" we will be in Grand Haven again! Can't wait!

Love you, babe!

Can my "little" girl really be 10 today???

10 years ago today, my life changed forever. My little girl was born and my life has not been the same! What a joy it is to be mom to such an amazing girl!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAYLOR!!!!
