the valley of sunshine...

We've just returned from a week long trip to Sun Valley. We had a great time playing in the pool, fishing,  and eating a ton of popsicles. A perfect summer trip.

happy 4th of july...

Wishing everyone a wonderful and safe fourth spent with family and friends.

roller coasters and water slides

We are out enjoying our road trip but made a stop to go to the Silverwood theme park.
This year Ethan was tall enough to go on many of the roller coasters and loved the upside down ones the best. We also went on several watersides so we had an awesome day.  Can't wait to go again.

We are off on a road trip this week taking advantage of summer.

Summmmmmmer!

Happy first day of summer!

lucky #13...

Thirteen years ago today, two twenty five year old kids took the plunge to join in a marriage together. We didn't know what was in store for us but we made it work through thick and thin. You are my best friend, my confidant when things are tough. My shoulder to cry on when I'm frustrated. A person to share jokes with and laugh at out of the blue. A person to be goofy around and yet, doesn't judge me and mostly either encourages or joins in. Giver of nightly back rubs and my constant worrier if things are not going ok for me.
Some things people take for granted but I have to say, that I found a true gem. Ethan and I are so fortunate to have found a person so caring to be in our lives that would do anything for us. So this post goes to you Jeff. Wishing us many more fun filled nights and adventures that lay ahead. We would not want anyone beside us other than you! Happy lucky 13 and beyond...

we love summer....

The summer months have finally arrived and we are taking full advantage of those lovely sunny days. Plus, it helps that we live within walking distance to a 7-11 since slurpees are definitely a summer staple.

They sell these great straws now there so of course Ethan wanted a moustache. 

We also let our cat Olive get out and enjoy the outdoors this past weekend as well. She's an indoor cat but longs for her legs on the grass and is an avid bug catcher. Now we have a way for her to enjoy both worlds. 

Unfortunately though I am sick with a summer cold so hopefully it passes fast so I can go out and enjoy the sun. Go summer!
