Live, Love & Laugh....

I think that would have to be the three words that best describe our lives. We live life to the fullest, we love our family unconditionally and we are constantly laughing at something the kids have done.

Last night we took JB to a birthday party at Pump It Up. It was Bella's party. She was turning 4 years old and is in JB's class at One Step. We had a blast! By the time JB, Sierra, dad and me all played on all the inflatables, we were worn out.

Today, Megan came over around 7:30am to borrow the Tahoe. She and some of her friends were driving to Gainsville for the day. Don't ask me why, but I think just for something to do. I was up playing with JB and he was so excited to see his sister. He ran and hugged her over and over. It made her day :)

Once everyone was up, the girls went to the mall. We had our nails done first, then we did a little shopping. We bought JB some Van's, picked up dad's jeans (that were being altered) and bought invitations for Sierra's birthday party that we're having at our house. It was a very productive day.

The boys hung out and did a little shopping of their own. JB has been very good about sleeping in his own bed so dad bought him some new lego's. He loves building things.

The kid's are in bed and Brett has about 8 guys over playing poker, ping pong and darts in the garage. I love it when we have people over.

Tomorrow is more of the same. Just hanging out, playing with the kids and having fun. I waited 17 years for this...and believe me, it was worth the wait. I have four of the sweetest children and couldn't have asked for a better husband. I've truly been blessed.

This week will be a busy week. Tuesday is Brandon's 23 birthday. Wednesday is my grandmother Mary's 89th birthday and Mary's birthday (sorry Mary, I was afraid to quote an age because I'm really not sure). Wednesday Brett is leaving out of town for a business conference and Friday we're meeting each other in Phoenix to visit Brandon. Whew...going to be fast and furious!

Hope everyone is having as much fun as we are!

Kelly,
Great post. Thanks for sharing. Love reading what's happening with you guys.

My birthday's a BIG one. I'm 24 years behind your grandmother. That sounds younger than being 65 years old. ;-)

I'm flying to Austin Tuesday evening so I will have my big birthday on Wednesday by myself, or at least in a business meeting. And that's okay. Maybe I can forget how old I really am since it's a "fur" piece from how old I feel.

Life is good, isn't it?

YES IT IS. God has truly blessed me with this family and I thank you and Paul both for accepting me and my children.

We were just talking today how we would LOVE to take you and Paul out to eat sometime next week (if that works for you) for your birthday. We have the kids this week so we thought it would be nice for the four of us to go. Let us know what your schedule is like next week (the week of the 9th). Brett leaves Wednesday for a business trip and then we meet in Pheonix on Friday but will be back Sunday evening.

Happy "early" birthday and be safe on your trip.

Talk to you soon.
