Happy Birthday Nathanael Paul!!!

Today is Nate's 4th birthday. This is a very special and emotional day for me. I am very aware that my baby is no longer a baby. He is an independent little man!

Another Girl Invasion...

This last weekend we had another girl sleepover. It was for Victoria's 8th birthday. We welcomed 7 little girls into our home. The girls had a lot of fun singing Karaoke. They played, opened presents, had cake, and watched High School Musical. To me High School Musical is this generation's Grease. The next morning came early because we had church. Many of the parents came at 9 am and the other girls rode with us to church. It was interesting getting so many girls ready for the Christmas service at church! I talked the girls into taking a picture with me. They complained, but usually I am the one behind the camera, so I decided to change that up.
The girls!
Victoria and her guitar cake. Boy did that take a lot of work!

Command Christmas Party for the Kids

The kids had a great time at the Jumping Monkey playing on the different bounce houses and then getting gifts from Santa. Jacob bouncing away.

Church Christmas Party

9 years and counting...

Last week Charles and I celebrated our 9 year anniversary. We have had a wonderful 9 years together and I look forward to the many years to come. Our love has blossomed each year into a more beautiful, profound, and romantic adventure together. The unity we share in our love for one another and our love for God solidifies our friendship and passion. I delight in and respect the man my husband has become. He sacrifices so much to take care of our family. I appreciate everything, big or little, that he does for us. November 22, 1997
