3 years!


I cannot believe it was 3 years ago yesterday that I was married for time and all eternity. It has been a wonderful 3 years too! It has felt like it has been longer than just 3 years, but I am okay with that.

Yesterday was a great day! Tyler was done with school and work and I took the night off work so we could have the whole day together. It started off by dropping Cameron off at our good friends house across the street. I have never left him with anyone, but my mom, so I was nervous. I didn't know how he would handle someone else besides me or Tyler. I as so relieved that he did so well! He didn't cry at all! Except going down for a nap because it wasn't his own bed, but such a relief! I am so thankful. It allowed Tyler and I to go out to eat for lunch at Tucanos and run a few errands before going home. It was so nice to have a date alone. It has been a long time.

I am looking forward to so many more years to spend with this wonderful husband of mine!

Shutterfly Christmas!

We all love this wonderful time of the year. I love getting cards to see what is happening with family and friends. It is a good way to keep up with everyone. Shutterfly offers a great variety of cards. You can do a photo card, just a plain Christmas card or even do Christmas gifts.


I really like their photo books. It allows you to import your pictures into a book and then they send the book to you in no time! It allows you to keep your photos so you don't have to "damage them" and they are kept nicely in the book.


I have not used their cards before, but I am excited to try it out. I have never sent a Christmas card myself, but now that we have a family of three, I think it is a good time to start. I would like people to know what great things are happening in our lives. That is the point of Christmas cards anyways..to brag about accomplishments in life :)

I am hoping that this will start many more Christmas cards in my family. I am excited to show off my family. I am a very cute family and I think people need to see them. I can't wait to get this cards done so everyone can see.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I can't believe it is Thanksgiving and the end of November is here. It has just gone by so fast! And before we know it, Christmas will be here (29 days)!

It is a time to definitely be thankful. We have so much to be thankful this year. We have a roof over our head, a job to pay for that roof and put food on the table. I have a great family. I have a wonderful husband who takes care of me and Cameron, even last weekend when I was sick in bed. We belong to a church that is amazing. So thankful for our Lord, Jesus Christ, who allows us to repent of our wrongings and eventually return to live with him again. Thankful to have an education. Thankful to be able to stay home during the day so I can watch Cameron. Thankful for friends who are there for me.....

There are so many things that I am thankful this year and this is just a handful.

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

Happy Halloween!

"It's the most wonderful time of the year...."

Wrong song, but I thought it fit perfect. Halloween marks the start of my three favorite holidays. I think it is mostly because I get to decorate ;)

This past Saturday, we had friends over and we made a craft. Shanna got an idea to take a bird house and make it into a haunted house. Tyler was able to get a hold of wood and create his own. He did a fantastic job. I added my opinion, but it was all him.


Sunday, we did our pumpkin carving. Cameron is still too young to do anything, so he slept while Tyler and I went at carving. Afterwards, I made my pumpkin seeds. They sure were yummy.


This weekend, we get to go trick-or-treating. It will be our first time. It won't be long because Cameron still doesn't understand what is going on, but it will be fun as he gets older. We sure are excited. He is going to be a cute tiger.


I hope everyone has a wonderful, but safe, Halloween!!!
