S e v e n Y e a r s

Seth and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary on March 5th by chasing around our 4 children, cleaning up their messes, doing homework, and getting Swayzee down from whatever she had climbed up on. 

I wouldn't have it any other way. 

Who am I kidding here? 

I'd love to not have to clean up so many messes. 

Maybe be able to relax a little more, but... this is our life.

And we are happy.

I feel like our life together just began! 

I'm so excited for whatever else is in store for us! 

I love Sethy Poo a lot. I'm glad I married him, and that he is the father of my children. He is a stellar guy.

He also lets me watch my shows on T.V at night. 

He's nice like that.

Here's to S E V E N years. 

Nine years together.

 Who knew I could put up with someone that long? 

Or is it the other way around? 

No, it's not... I'm a great catch. 

Even when I'm moody, or stubborn.

At least I do all the laundry, and make him delicious food. And clean up messes. ( To name a few.)

OK, I guess we'll call it even. 

He does work all day for me to be able to stay home and clean up messes.

Either way. I like him a lot. I'll think I'll keep him around for a while longer.

I still own my pregnancy tests from my last 3 children. I can't get rid of them yet. I'm not sure why, but I think it is because they were some of the most significant times in my life. My memory is bad, but I remember clearly each one of those days, and Mykelle's too. I just don't have her test anymore. I think Seth threw it away.

It's fine if you find it terribly disgusting. Pee doesn't bother me THAT bad, so I don't care. Ha ha.

These are a few of our favorite things...

A few of our favorite things to do together...

Play board games and cards
Puzzle races
Cook Together
(Trey really likes to cut things up and use the can opener.Mykelle likes to crack eggs and stir things. Swayzee likes to help pour things in the bowl, and she loves to lick the mixers. As soon as she hears them, she comes running in the kitchen and waits patiently to lick them.) 
Play Transformers and Cops
Build Forts 
Dance parties in the living room
Movie Theaters
Crafts
Tell stories
and afternoon walks

Someone pinned this on Pinterest last night, and if I'm being honest, it made me all teary eyed. 

Gosh. I just want to do it right. I want to be the kind of mom that when they grow up, they will say that there are so many things they learned from me, & things they loved about growing up & that they loved their childhood. 

I'm so thankful for the opportunity to be their mother.
 God loves and trusts me enough to send me these most amazing gifts.

I just want to do right by them. 


That's all.

Lost, but not forgotten. 

Marnie, Sandra, and I @ Denny's 2 days before I gave birth. We were able to spend 2 seconds with Sandra while she was on a lay over from Hawaii! Sigh. Miss you girl. You and Julie need to move back ..... or pay for me to live there! Wink. 

Image

Although Denny's may not be the greatest place to eat, who doesn't love their hot chocolate with whipped cream?
