Happy Anniversary

Friday, August 1st marked Kenny and my 5th wedding anniversary. I can't believe we have been married for 5 years. To be honest, it feels like longer, like we have always been together. It is nice to know we will always be together too!! Have you ever heard "the first year is the hardest"? I am still waiting to see if that year ever shows up in our marriage. Our 5 years have been wonderful and the addition of two beautiful children has made it
pretty close to perfection.

Kenny is the love of my life. After some stupid mistakes and hardships in my past, Kenny came into my life at the right time and completed what was missing. As I sit here typing I am trying to put into words what Kenny means to me and I keep having to backspace because no words can describe what I feel for him. He is my love, my best friend, the best father in the world. He is such a hard worker, providing for our family. He never, ever raises his voice, in fact I don't think I have ever seen him get mad. He loves life, is always ready for an adventure. His optimism is contagious and he is a friend to everyone he meets. Even though I tease him about being a big kid and loving toys, I love it about him too.
Kenny, I love you! Keep being goofy, don't ever grow up. Thank you for these past 5years. I can't wait to see what adventure our future holds.

Livvy's first sleep over

Monday night Livvy had her cousin Kaylee sleep over. It was pretty entertaining to watch two 2 1/2 year olds talk and act like a "big girl". They both got their pillows and blankets, we popped popcorn, put lemonade in their princess cups and settled down to watch a movie. They choose 101 Dalmatians. They watched until 11:00, by that time I was tired so I said it was time for bed. They actually went to bed without a fight, I was amazed. Then at 2 am I hear Livvy get up to go potty and Kaylee's little voice say, "Susan...Susan I want you." She came into my room followed by Livvy who naturally laid down on the floor by my bed (it's pretty much a nightly occurrence). Kaylee was about to follow suit, but I got both of them to get their blankets and pillows and I ended up sleeping on the floor in the living room with them. Livvy on one side, Kaylee on the other. It would have been fine, but Kaylee woke me up again around 4am to give me a kiss, how could I get made at that? She is just so sweet. Livvy slept pretty soundly, but Kaylee did toss and turn and kick some. They both woke up happy as clams, I on the other hand was quite stiff and sleep deprived, but they had fun so that's what counts.

My Micah Man

My little guy is 9 months old! Well, he is actually almost 10 months old, but I finally got his 9 month pictures taken. He is getting so big! 20 lbs 12.5 oz, 29 1/2 in. long. He has 8 teeth with two more trying to make their way through. He is crawling all over the place, he pushes his walker, is starting to stand on his own now, waves bye-bye, give high fives...just to name a few of his accomplishments. He is also a Daddy's boy. He loves, loves, loves Kenny. I always feel a little pang of jealousy when he reaches for Kenny over me, but it is right for him to bond with Kenny. Who else is Kenny going to play Transformers and RC cars with? Here are some pics of my little guy.

under construction

Sorry, my site is having technical difficulties. Hopefully it will be up and running soon.

Help

Someone help, I used to have pictures on the right side of my blog that are now located at the bottom. I haven't done anything to change my template. What is going on?

Also, how do you add a clickable link in your post? For example, if I wanted someone to go to the Twilight website but didn't want to type www.twilightthemovie.com just "Twilight Movie" and when you clicked it would take you to the website, how do you do that?

The countdown

So I finished Pride and Prejudice (loved it! I have only seen the Kiera Knightly version of the movie and so many important elements were left out. I plan to see the A&E version soon).

Now I have started The Host, Stephanie Meyer's non-Twilight book. I am only on chapter 6 so far, but it is very interesting. I just need to finish it before August 2 because.....Breaking Dawn is coming out. The 4th and final(?) installment to the Twilight series. I can't wait.

I found this on a Twilight website. What to you think, does Robert Pattinson fit the character Edward? What about Kristen Stewart as Bella? Not only that, where is Jacob Black?

You can see a trailer on the Twilight website

Tell me what you think......

Boy are we in TROUBLE!!

The other day I was making dinner and I heard Kenny say, "Susan, we're in trouble". I walked to the stairs to see what he meant and this is what I saw.....

Kenny had taken him downstairs while he was on the computer. Micah started babbling, Kenny looked up and found him halfway up the stairs. This boy has no fear!!
