A Fun Mess!!!

Days like today, I am so thankful to be a stay at home mommy.  Art projects can be somewhat challenging in our family because although I love my husband dearly, he would about have a coronary if he saw the mess we made today...luckily it was all cleaned up, and he will never be the wiser.

Kyle allows Blake to be creative, but in a very clean and organized environment... I, on the other hand, let him go a little bit more outside the lines... we have rules of course - Paint only stays on the paper, don't mix the brushes up and stay on the drop cloth... But at one point, he had painted his hands, feet and daddy's old t-shirt (thank you daddy) HAHA  I think that it's great, but Kyle would have washed his hands every time he got paint on them... nothing wrong with that I suppose, but now I am home and I can do the projects the way I want :)

Blake made a fine display of pictures today while Luke sat in his bouncy seat and watched.  I thought Luke would have had enough sooner, but he seemed pretty entertained with both hands in his mouth and watching all the colors going up on the paper that big brother so carefully placed.  HAHA

Happy 5 Years

Kyle and I met in High School as Seniors... it is funny to me that we had been at the same schools for 6 years, and it was just our last year that our paths actually crossed.  Who would have guessed that we would still be together now... I know some people that told me that it would never work... that we were too young to understand what real love is... but it did work, and it did last, and it will continue to last and grow.  I married my best friend on August 25th 2007, and oh, how time flies.  We have actually be together for 10 years... but who is counting :)

We bought our first house at 19, our second house at 22, married at 22, Blake at 24, 3rd house at 26, and Luke at 27.  It has been really jam-packed, but it has all been amazing.  I couldn't have asked for anyone better...  Someone to get you water in the middle of the night... to clean out your car because it is always a disaster, and someone that makes AMAZING fluffy tacos among other things.  Sometimes it is scary to think that someone knows you better then you know yourself, but so comforting at the same time.  I am so lucky to have met an amazing man, and that he actually picked me to spend the rest of his life with.  We have two miracle children and a life that is crazy, but beautiful at the same time... what more could I ask for?
