Happy Birthday, Lee!!!

Well, Lee turned 29 this week and it has been very eventful to say the least!!! :) His parents came out to have lunch with him on his birthday, so we met them out where he works!!! :) We went to the place of Lee's choice for lunch, which was Baker's Ribs! It was great! :) Here are a few pics from the outing! :)











After that we went to Lee's dealership and he had been talking to me about trading in his well loved Jeep so the bambinos and I would have the newer car to use throughout the week! I did not ask, it was his idea! Needless to say, I was very excited when he came home with a Tahoe to show me the night before, that would be cheaper for our family than the Jeep and have more seats than our minivan (which is now paid off)!!! :) Soooo, on his birthday he and I finalized the purchase and trade of the vehicle!!! I love my hubby! :) Here are a few snapshots of the Tahoe!





It's a black Chevy Tahoe and it's very fun to drive, although I'm still getting used to how much bigger it is than our Honda minivan! :) What a great hubby to give up his dream car to get me mine, and on HIS birthday!

I am also proud to announce that I am now officially a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant!!! So...if anyone is wanting to have a party or if you just need any of their products, I would be glad to oblige! I've been thinking about doing this for about 4 years now, and I finally decided to take the plunge!



Zoe and I are sporting Mary Kay's Sweet Raisin lip gloss! I LOVE it! :)





Well, this Momma of many words has soooo much more to blog about but I will have to just do a few more this week! :) Don't want to overwhelm anyone! ;)

A fun few busy weeks...

These last two weeks we have been very busy, which is not very common for us! We met Carliegh and her crew at the mall to eat lunch and play in the kids area the Tuesday before last! :) The kids had soooo much fun and it was really neat to see them interact with one another! They are paired at almost the same ages, so that made things really fun! :) Zoe had so much fun playing with Audrey and Lenci and Zach had a great time following the big girls around! :) Asher managed to get down a little and crawl/cruise on the big toys and stuff, but he spent most of his time pretty close to Mommy! And Carliegh's little MacKenzie even got a whole nap in! It was really a great experience for us! It was fun, too, cause Carliegh and I were able to catch up a little...that is, between watching, catching and chasing our munchkins! Hahaha! Between the two of us there were 6 little ones! :) It was a real adventure! I hope they had as much fun as we did! We had so much fun that we forgot to snap many pics, but we did remember right at nap time, as we were heading out! So...here are a few pics of our great memory! :) I hope that this is just the first of many more playdates!







Hahaha! I think we did pretty good getting these as good as they are considering how many munchkins we had altogether and it was nap time! :) I don't know who thought of putting play areas for toddlers in malls, but they are GENIUS!!! :)


The next day we went to the zoo with Daddy! That was lots of fun! :) Asher is now old enough to notice noises more and he loved when we went to the birds! :)












Lenci enjoyed helping Daddy feed the birds with Zoe!!! :) I think this is always their favorite place at the zoo since the birds fly all around them! :) Very neato!

























What a sweet yawn at the end of a zoo day! Cute! Also, you see that Lenci was a little camera shy! ;) Hahaha! Well, I'll blog some more about our last two busy weeks! :) Fun, fun, fun! :) Blessings to you all! :)

10 Years of Dating!!!

Yep!!! Today is the day that Lee and I decided we were officially a couple 10 years ago!!! We were 18 years old!!! :) I need to get a picture of us from then and put it on here, but I was soooo shocked today when someone knocked on my door!!! I didn't recognize the lady at the door, and then I opened the door and it was a lady holding BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS!!! Yessssssssssssss!!! Lee got flowers delivered to me for our 10 year dating anniversary!!! :) How sweet! Sooo...here are the pictures of the flowers! :)







What a wonderful hubby!!! :) I think we need to go on some dates like we did in the good ol' days!!! :) The great thing is that our wedding anniversary is in about 3 weeks!!! Yay!!! You will enjoy that one too! :) Hahaha! I am so into celebrating! I'm glad that Lee was as excited about this day as I was!

Thank you, Lee!!! I love you!!! :)
