Birthdays and Anniversaries

The month of June is absolutely crazy for celebrations. Starting with my Dad and Ricky's birthday, followed by Father's Day. Proceeded by Our Anniversary (this year make 8), my parent's anniversary (44) and My birthday....WOW!!!

We have had a celebration on a weekly basis which is not doing my diet and losing the "baby weight" very well. This weekend we celebrated the fathers of our lives. They are all very special, especially my husband who is a wonderful father and amazing husband and partner for life. We have been together for almost 14 years and as I said before we will celebrate our 8 year anniversary tomorrow. I love him more today than yesterday and will love him even more tomorrow. I am truly happy that we have chosen each other to spend the rest our lives with, things haven't always been wonderful, but we get through it together.

This year has been particularly rough with Ricky being out of work, having Brayden and just dealing with the everyday stuff in raising our children. I would change alot of outside things that we have no control over, but I would never change life with my family!

Damian's birthday is right around the corner too and we are planning a "Pirate Party". We are very excited because this is the first year he can't wait for his birthday. Four is going to be such a great year.

Loving my boys and everything that comes with the territory.

Productive Weekend

We finally had nothing to do this weekend so that meant we could catch up on all our projects at home...LOL!

Ricky built Damian a sandbox, which he LOVES, hopefully it will get him out of his funk!! Damian has been testing us ALOT, I don't know if it is still because of Brayden or because its his age, but he is driving us crazy. He could be fine one minute and a real Bear the next. He is constantly talking back and telling us no, he never wins so why doesn't he just give up. I really hope he starts to get over this rotten mood very soon. He really is a good kid he just is very very stubborn.

I worked on our garden, I weeded for three hours this weekend and I still have more, I can't believe it! We started a retaining wall and bought some plants. Hopefully I can finish weeding tonight now that its not 95 degrees like the past two days.

Brayden is miserable because he is teething. He doesn't want to sleep and gets cranky constantly which makes for a fun time! The good news is he is sitting by himself for at least 30 - 60 secs if not more. He also went into the pool (my sister-in-laws) for the first time and loved it!

Lets cross our fingers we can open our pool this week, it will be nice to see the beautiful water in my backyard instead of the green tarp.
