Happy Anniversary

I love my husband I can't believe that we have been married for 6 years. Really that doesn't feel like a long time. We have so much fun together. We really don't have anything in common but we can always find something fun to do. We love to be together I really can't imagine any one that I would want to be with. He is a great dad and a wonderful husband. He works so had so I can stay home with the kid, and he tries to give me every thing I want. I have planned all month to post a cute wedding picture but my days have just gone by so fast I will try maybe next week. Tonight we are at Travis's brother Bill house. Travis said that he would take me to Twilight and I said that I would take him to the Texas Roadhouse his favorite place. I am so excited.
I love you so much and am so thankful we can be together forever.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!

I love my VETERAN

These are the guys that he went to Iraq with. All of them are really great guys. That was one of the hardest thing I think either of us has had to do. Yesterday I was reading some of the letters that I sent to him while he was in Iraq and Okinawa Japan. I asked him why he ever stayed married to me, I was the sappiest wife ever. It didn't help that I was pregnant with Jaine. I wrote some of the dumbest things, but at the time I guess that is how I felt. A look back at those letters and that first year of are marriage and I think that was when we really learned how much we loved each other. And all the while he was just doing his duty to his country. I don't think he has ever once regretted going and I know he would do it again if he knew that leaving me home with the kids with out him wouldn't make me go crazy. Seriously we owe our veterans and I am not just saying this because I am married to one. The men and women that went before us had it so much harder then we could even imagine. I would cry everyday that I didn't hear from Travis. My heart would hurt. I cant even fathom being a wife in any World War or any other war for that matter I have talked to a woman that sent her husband to war during WWII and didn't hear from him for 2 YEARS. Everyday not even knowing if he was alive. The men left their wives and children not knowing if they would ever see them again. All of this so that we could live in this FREE country. I love you Travis.

I DID IT!!!


I ran my first 5k and had so much fun. My mom and I ran it she did so GOOD she took 7th in her age group WAY TO GO. She has lost 30 lb and looks so great. I of course have not lost one pound but I have loved running. My dad has been awesome I call him everytime I run and ask him all kinds of questions. He loves that mom and I are running he has always wanted my mom to run and now she is my dad was smiling from ear to ear.
I was glad the kids came Travis had to work he asked for it off but it didn't work out. I think the kids has a good time Jared was mad and Dave was just glad to be there Janie got sick and fell to sleep in the car as soon as we left and has been that way till we got home. Tayt was fun after I got done I went back to find my mom I was worried the race was up and down hills the hole way not at all like what we run at home anyway Tayt was waiting along the trail to cheer for us and when I got to mom it was about where Tayt had been cheering when I turned around to run with my mom Tayt started to run with us he finished the race with us and after we got done all he want todo was put my number on. He says he wants to run it next year I told him maybe. ( Although I can't believe how many kids did run it)

I have been running for a while and wanted to do pretty good. So I was way excited to take 3rd in my age group and 18th over-all I even go a prize. Yes I am getting old I moved into the next age group and was the very youngest. That helps alot.



I was thankful to have my sister there to watch mom and I. They are both having babies so they couldn't run but, we had so much fun we have decided that next year we are all going to run. And a special thanks to Jed and Brittany for helping me so much with my kids, without them I wouldn't have been able to run. They stayed behind to get the kid ready so that they wouldn't be climbing all over me before the race started. And I also owe my dad a huge thank you also he got up with Dave at 3:30 am so I could get some sleep. THANKS FAMILY

This was so much fun. My dad is so glad to have us running he bought me a way nice pair of shoes that I LOVE. He also bought mom and I matching running shirts AGAIN THANK YOU DAD! But if my mom had not asked to to come run this thing that her friend found on the Internet called "couch potato to 5k" I NEVER would be here so THANK YOU MOM.

The most exciting news of the night!!!


TAYT LOST HIS FIRST TOOTH!!!


I can even believe that he is getting so big. And let me tell you how tough this kid is. For a couple of week he has had this loose tooth I thought that it was weeks from coming out but tonight he was telling me about how this kid from school told him he had tied a string to his tooth and shut the door. Well Tayt wanted to try it I really didn't think that he would or that I would get the string on and he wouldn't let me slam the door so I decide heck why not. So I tied the string and was getting ready to shut the door when he told me I was doing it wrong so I asked him how he wanted to do it. He said the kid had told his to shut the door and just pull his head back, so that is what he did he shut the door and stared to back up and I could tell the tooth was bent pretty far and then he just throw his head back and I hear a crack and his tooth was just hanging on so I had to pull it again hard and fast I wanted to throw up. He didn't cry nothing I wanted to cry partly because It looked like to hurt so bad and partly because my little boy is getting so big I cant believe it. Wow can you believe that my Tayt is turning 7 in January he is one heck of a kid. I love you Tayt!!!

My Brother The BIG Hunter




Jace is AWESOME can you believe that this is his first deer. Way to go. Travis and Tayt went with them and had so much fun this was the first year that Travis has actually got the chance to got the first year that he he got a tag he went to Iraq the next time he had to work. So he was excited to go and I think that he was kind of relived that he didn't get one we had some of my brother-in-law Jed's and he didn't really like it and I didn't even try it. But he was exited to be with some one who did get a big one. Jace you are a might hunter.

Happy Halloween
















Carving pumpkins what we grew in our garden. Of course the biggest ones are green and those are the one that the kids wanted I really didn't care they did them all by them self while I made dinner and ran to the church for a meeting that I forgot about any way it was fun and the kids had a blast. I am so glad the my brother Tanner could come over he is always fun to have around. GOOD JOB

It's was a funny picture all the kids were in the twins room just laughing I went in to see what was going on. Dave was just sitting there with his feet hanging out. Tayt and Janie wanted Jer to do the same thing, there are cuter pictures but I did the fourth one like I was told. O my gosh I can't believe how fast time is going. The twins are 18 monthes and into everything and going every where. Tayt is so fun he is getting so grown up. We went up north yesterday to watch uncle Josh run cross country and it was so fun! We just hung out and talked I told him I would take him to lunch anywhere he wanted and he picked Wendy's I couldn't believe it! He could go anywhere and he picks WENDY'S! ( he gets that from Travis) Anyway we went to Wendy's and he was happy. He is so so cute I can't even tell you how much he means to me! He is an extraordinary kid. He holds me up and doesn't even know it. I pray that our relationship will be as good when he grows up as it is now. Don't get me wrong we have our hick-ups. he is a boy with a strong will but if I am a good enough mom he will do amazing things. I LOVE YOU TAYT. I can't talk about Tayt without talking about Janie. She is my peace maker. She is another sweet Spirit that I don't know why I was so lucky to get. Janie and I have so much fun we went to the movies the other night together with some girl friends. we were dancing in the isle and singing we loved it! Jaine is my best girlfriend! She will always tell me how I look or if I need lipstick she is funny she loves lipstick. I know we all have great kids but I just had a really great time yesterday so I am feeling really grateful today. I guess that I just wanted to share. Sorry.

O sorry I got distracted my 4 people Ashley, Jen, Christy, Shara
