Lane Andrew

I miss getting to see one of my closest friends, Morgan. We graduated x-ray school together and now our kids are growing up together. We both live such busy lives, it seems like it's hard to get together as often as we would like to. But she brought her new addition over the the other day and we had fun getting some pictures of him. Mr. Lane is now 6 weeks old and so sweet. I can't wait to watch him grow up!

I think he was about to go to sleep in this picture.

The past few days......

The White Mills Bridge is finally opening back up. It has been shut down all summer for repair and my kids can't wait to get to drive over it soon.

This past weekend a few of us got together to canoe/kayak down the river, which takes about 6 hours. It was a little colder than usually when we go, but still lots of fun.

This is a horrible picture of me since someone caught me in mid-laughing. But since I'm never on my own blog, I figured I would post it.

The kids helped Aunt Rita pick little pumpkins. She gave them $0.10 for each one they picked. Here Chaz is counting how many he had in his basket.

Chaz loves is Uncle Red!!!

Went downstairs today and seen this note taped to the wall. Allie always seems to make my day!

Brody and Jovie

What cute kids!!! Gino, thanks for letting me take these and also for being one of my best friends! I'm so glad we are all so close and our kids are growing up together. Jovie and Brody was so much fun while taking these. I hope you like them!

Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day Weekend was a rainy weekend this year. We didn't camp but did make it down to visit and let the kids play on Saturday. Here Zack is showing the kids how to tie a rope up to a tree and swing on it.

Avery and Skyler trying to push Allie up to the rope. Avery is giving it all she's got it looks like!

Easton is finally getting to join in on volleyball. He's been waiting for this for 2 years now. He's serving in this picture.

Someone brought a huge tarp so it easily became a good slide into the creek. The kids couldn't get enough of it.

Planting flowers in the volleyball court.

New toys for the creek!!!

By the looks of Allie's face, she's giving it all she's got too!

Chaz tried, but it just didn't go very far.

Random Pictures

The weather has been great lately so we've been spending lots of time outside. Here's a few pictures of our last weekend.

 

 

The kids love to go fishing but it's a little difficult to keep them all occupied for the entire time.

Chaz & George...........I don't know who loves each other more!

10 Years Ago

Ten years ago today I was marrying the man I still love just as much today. Actually, I think I love him more, if that's possible. Wow, when I look back at what's happened in the past 10 years, it's almost hard to believe. On our first anniversary, I was pregnant with Easton. A year and a half later, I got pregnant with Allie and then two and a half years later, I was pregnant with Chaz. From that point on, we have been busy. I'll admit, I think it's very hard sometimes to juggle working, kids, the everyday things in life plus trying to have a relationship with my husband. Nowadays, we are out late just about every night at ballgames or practices. I really can't remember what it was like before doing that. But I love it, I love watching my kids have fun playing ball. But I do remember those days of when they were babies. Timmy has been a great dad. He's probably gave just as many baths and changed just as many diapers as me. I think in the past 10 years, we've definitely established a routine for both of us. We've found a system that works. It has taken a few trial and errors on some of it, but I think we're getting it down pat. I look forward to many more years. I am so grateful for our relationship, our home, our health and our family and friends. I have two things to say about these wedding pictures. First of all, photography has come a long way. The quality of these pictures are horrible! I can't believe they are this bad. And second, if you was at our wedding, I'm sure you remember it. Only because it came the biggest thunderstorm during the ceremony. Thank goodness Mom and Dad spent extra money for a tent for that "just in case". My dress still has mud on the bottom of it. Anyway, happy anniversary Timmy and I hope that 10 years from now I am sitting here writing about how happy I still am. I love you with all my heart......and I'll see ya at the ballpark tonight!!!

The white arch we got married under is still in the same spot. Mom has planted all kinds of flowers around it and this year she planted sunflowers, since it was our 10 year anniversary.
