6 years, 2 kids, 1 house and a dog!

Ryan and I just celebrated our 6 year anniversary! Wholly cow, 6 years!!! While that may not be a long time in the grand scheme of things, it's a long time when you think of how much has changed or happened in those 6 years! We have become Mommy and Daddy, homeowners, met some great new friends, found a great church, went on some great vacations, and many numerous things to count! It's hard to believe it all started out though, over 13 years ago. It's so funny to look at us now and think were here! It's hard to explain but growing up together, you just never think you'll be ya know, older! Yet, here we are and I wonder when the day will come that we feel grown-up? Maybe that's a good thing and it's better you never quite feel grown-up! Who knows.
Well, we started off our anniversary day at church. It's kind of silly but I guess since there was a leap year, we got to celebrate on the actual day of our nuptuals, Sunday. We then spent a few hours at the Rowell Ranch Rodeo, took the kids and had some fun. We then by the grace of Ryan's mama, went out to Livermore to a place I think we went to first on some anniversary. But, that was quite some time ago and we've been wanting to go back there ever since. So we did, dinner at Zephyr in downtown Livermore and then splurging on dessert at Simply Fondue. Our waitress suggested we try the Bananas Foster chocolate and it was to die for. (The waitress at Zephyr Ha!) It's always nice to get some "alone" time and hang out just the two of us, where it all started! 6 wonderful years and I'm so glad I call you my Hubby, love you Bucky.

New Carpet and Kid's Rooms


I don't know how long I've been saying that when the kid's rooms were "done" I would take pictures of them to show off. Well, Ryder is almost a year now and they still aren't "done". But, with the new carpet, and spring cleaning the heck out of these rooms (so much easier to do when there is no furniture) they looked neat and tidy and cute enough to take some photo's and show them off. Enjoy!












Gracie's Room

10 on 10 : May

Take a photo once an hour for ten consecutive hours on the tenth of each month. Document a snapshot of your life and find beauty among the ordinary things of your day.
Happy photographing!!!!
Ah! The joys of having a construction guy for a Hubby! He scored us some great carpet that someone was getting rid of. Their loss our gain!!! Jim (carpet guy) came this morning at 8a.m. to start installing. Meaning, we had to get everything the heck out of the kids room by then so he can have an empty room, felt a little like moving!





We had waffles this morning for breakfast. Left over from Mother's Day. I just love my waffle maker, it's awesome and the train whistle alarm is a wonderful feature that the kid's love too!






If looks could kill!




Why did I even try to feed this boy today! He looks happy but don't let that devilish grin fool you! I didn't even attempt the rest of the day!





While going to take out some recycling and trash, I'm reminded of how fortunate I am to live so close to our dumpster/trash area. It's something I don't think about often but on a rainy day like this, it's nice to only have to walk a few feet from your door (picture taken from front door).




Here is Gracie's room finished!



Teeth suck!!!! I don't even know why we really have them, are they all that necessary? I tend to think not!!! This is a perfect image of what I've been faced with for the last 3 days!!! You can also see one of the little buggers!!!!




Going through the kiddo's clothes for summer I realized that neither babies really have any summer clothes. With upcoming birthdays I hate to buy clothing for them as we are usually inundated with them. So I decided to head to Goodwill to hunt for some frugal deals. Didn't really find any outfits, but did find this adorable diaper cover, way too cute. Wrangler butts drive me nuts!
As you heard from earlier, we found Ryder's kryptonite!!!! It's teeth!!!! He's been sooooo crabby, I went to Target to arm myself for the long night ahead




This was my yummy left over Mother's Day dessert. Banana Creme Pie, enough said.
