He did it, he finally did it....I knew he would someday...

On Friday the boys & I were making some nifty little Fathers Day cards while J.D. was at work(they are sail boats made out of paper plates and the stand up on their own!!), well once we were finished making them Dylan & Ryan asked if they could do some "art" with the left over construction paper. I told them they could as long as they cleaned up their mess when they were done.

Dylan got finished first so he went on to his room to play, then Ryan went running through the living room with the scissors so I told him he needed to go back to the kitchen with them. He went into the kitchen put them down and ran back through the living room....well I immediately knew something wasn't right - for two reasons #1 he NEVER listens the first time you ask him to do something and #2 he doesn't give up an opportunity to make a mess using paper & scissors... So away I went on my search to find out what he did.....

Here is what I found


I was soooo sad...I've worked so long and so hard to grow out that sweet red hair.
Well I guess I'll remember these sweet locks by putting them in his scrapbook (of course that means I have to actually find time to scrapbook).

Of the two older kids he is the one I expected to try this. He just has that sort of personality.

6 years as of May 31st - boy what a great 6 years!

I don't watch a lot of TV but when I do I like to watch "Jon & Kate plus 8". I've always been impressed with how well they've done raising so many little ones all the same age. Anyone who knows me knows how much that show is right up my alley.
Last night I watched and found out that sadly yesterday they filed for divorce. I understand things can be tough with kids and just life in general, but don't get how two people who love each other enough to get married in the first place can just let it all go. They had made it through so many struggles in their lives, but now just give up. I know of at least 20 reasons why they needed to stay together...8 blessings, 10 years & 2 people who love each other (but just can't get past their anger). Life is so much more then anger towards someone.

Well, okay time to get back on track. So anyway, all of this made me proud of what God has given me. I may not have a TV show on TLC, a big giant house, or 8 kids...but I do have a wonderful Husband a three wonderful little blessings. I'm so proud of where I've ended up. I guess I'm just lucky.

Today I pulled out our wedding video. While I watched it I though about all the things we've been through together easy & hard. Sometimes we have been brought almost to our knees but we've always been able to stand back up - Stronger then before.

6 years Strong!!

1 Cat($100+)
3 Kids($10000+)
Many Friends & bridges that have been put under construction(okay so I need to work on that still).($???)
1 House (personal)
1 Dog ($100+)
=1 Wonderful Life!! (Priceless)


On to ten years! We are planning to renew our vows then. So I guess I'll have to try to get the wedding gang all back together for that.

Sorry for the most random post ever! :)
