10 years ago.....

I haven't been on here much these days. So much to blog about, but just haven't been keeping up. But I couldn't let today go by without saying a little something about my hubby. It was 10 years ago today that we were married. So much has changed since that day, job's have changed, where we live has changed, we've had 3 beautiful children. We've seen each other through good times and some not so good times. I'm so thankful I have Jeff to share my life with and I can't imagine spending it with anyone else. He's a wonderful husband, father, and friend. I look forward to the rest of our lives. I love you so much Jeff, thank you for everything you do for us.

Maybe, just maybe, I'll put some wedding pictures on here if I ever get them on the computer. That was back before we all had digital cameras. :)

Wordless Wednesday

Happy Birthday to my wonderful sister and friend, Heather! Heather, I know this has been a difficult year for you, but your strength and your faith have been so amazing through everything you have been through. We are so proud of you and we love you so very much. I pray this next year will be filled with love and happiness and God's richest blessings for you. I hope you have a birthday as fabulous as you are!

Elliot Lynne

(they will be such good big sister and brothers) We wish all of you the very best. Hope you are doing well and getting some much needed rest! Love you lots!

school, birthdays and soccer

This past Tuesday Jamin had his last day of school. I remember when school started for the year, I was a little sad to see my baby boy head off to school every morning. Now he's done. And I'm so happy to have him home all day, but part of me is sad that Kindergarten is over. He had fun and had made friends with the other kids and he really liked his teacher. And if I may brag, he did soooo good in school this year. He's learned so much. But in a couple of months he goes to school all day, everyday. Sniff. And then he'll be with me so much less. I know it will be good for him to go, and he's looking forward to taking his lunch to school and having 3 recess breaks. But still, I can be a little sad.

Yesterday was Canada Day, as you all know, but even bigger than that was my dad's 75th birthday! We had a good day visiting out at my parent's place, and the kids had fun playing with their cousins. Happy Birthday Dad! I love you very much!

I have pictures to share with you whenever I get around to it. Jamin finished soccer a week or two ago. I'd like to say he had lots of fun, but I don't think he did. I think he liked the kids and his coaches and everything, but he wasn't that motivated to play the sport. We'll see what next year brings.

Birthday pictures

A little windy so the candle wouldn't stay lit. Thankfully we didn't get any rain, and the kids had a pretty good time. My baby is getting older. Sniff. (missing in group picture is Jeremy, the boys 6 month old cousin)

Who taught him that?

I had to write this down before I forgot. My son Jamin was just sitting on his bedroom floor. This is our conversation:

me: what are you doing, reading a book?
Jamin: ya I'm reading a book to my kitty
me: oh that's good
Jamin: you know what? if she (kitty) puts one paw out that means she wants to scratch, and you have to smack her and tell her who's boss, but if she puts two paws out that means she wants a hug.
