a real live Snot Rod...

I've been eyeing this car down the street for quite some time. For those of you that don't know Pixar Cars like I do this hot rod is almost identical to the one in the movie named Snot Rod. I knew the first really warm day we had I wanted to walk E down to see it. Thank goodness the owner was there and nice enough to let E get some pics with it...even sit on it and slide on inside. He ate it up!

I know what would for sure complete this moment...if only he could hear the car VROOOOM!

Checkin himself out.

Move over E...I know a wild girl who wants to take a wild ride

What is it with these wild girls? G didn't really care much for the Snot Rod look alike...but she really enjoyed her ride. So looking forward to some beautiful days ahead like this one...full of sunshine!!!

from playing...to peeing

Uh Oh...gotta pee!

At least he's not peeing in his pants or wearing diapers anymore :)

BTW...have you ever seen a smaller butt in your life?!?!

purple party...

Thanks to everyone who was able to come and celebrate our precious baby girl turning one. Even though G was not herself...due to four teefers coming in at the same time...she really enjoyed herself. She loved getting sung to and she did just what we expected when it came cake time...she dug in...no help needed. It's so funny because in the past couple days I feel like she has grown up so much. She just acts older and she is starting to try to say words now. She loves to say E and juice...I think just to make me smile. 

Ok...I am not a professional cupcake maker but I think they were good enough for the kids. Everyone really enjoyed the dessert I made for Jacob's birthday...Not Yo' Mamma's Banana Pudding...I think everyone wished there were more.

G's cake

White chocolate covered Oreos with a lil' purple icing to make them pretty.

One of E's favorite things to do...make noise.

Time to dig in!!!

I think G was a little overwhelmed at present time...but she's a girl...it didn't take long for her to open up once I started pulling out all those clothes.

One party down...one to go. Note to self...do NOT wait until the night before to hand make all the decor. If it wasn't for Emmi I think I would still be working on them. Thanks Em...I hope you are caught up on your sleep :) I owe you one!

lets start with forever...

I wish everyone could see this man the way I do. Everyone knows he's funny...outspoken and the life of the party. Not everyone gets to see the side of Jake that I do. He is home to me. You know how it feels when you've been out of town for a week or so...visiting family or on vacation and you just can't wait to get back to your own bed? When you finally get to sink into those sheets...it's so peaceful...calming and unbelievably comfortable. That's how he makes me feel. I'm thankful...when I'm home...I can be me. He one hundred percent accepts ME for who I am and he's never tried to change me. 

We have for sure had our ups and downs...been through things that not very many couples could overcome, but I can honestly say that I love this man more and more every day. I can imagine that there are girls out there that long for that "movie love"...you know like The Notebook. There are tons of good ones out there but this is one that just sticks out in my mind (...maybe because it is the best love story ever told). I'm thankful that when I look back at my first love I don't have to think of anyone else. I don't have to imagine what my life would be like with my fist love because I'm with him. He always has and always will have my whole heart. He's my Noah.

Jake, as we know...

it's not going to be easy

it's going to be really hard

and we're going to have to work at this every day, 

but I want to do that

because I want you

I want all of you

forever...you and me...every day.

I Love You!!! Happy Valentines Day!

growing up goofy...

I think everyone knows who the goofy one of the family is. Jacob is so many things that I can't be and funny is definitely a big one! Easton can be goofy, but he's more serious like me. Hey now!!! I like to have fun...I'm just not a funny person and when I try to be...well...that's even worse. 

Greenlee is hilarious! I feel like all Jake and I ever say is..."girl, you crack me up!" She doesn't care where she is and who she's around...she is her own person. Easton has always been so meek and shy...nervous around people he doesn't know. Greenlee is total opposite. You should see her dance.

I hope she stays this way because I LOVE IT!!!

Does anyone think we are ready to celebrate this little Valentines birthday? Momma is NOT!

I know what you're thinking and I promise...this is not all I do...take pictures. 

I do A LOT of other things ;)

I am for sure glad that I took G out this day. Even though she acted like a crazy girl this next picture has got to be my favorite of her so far. 

GIRL IS GOOFY!!!

Monster Jam...

E's patiently waiting in line with Daddy to get our tickets...

Finally...found our seats

Daddy makes sure his little buddy doesn't go without...he had two cars before it even started.

E wasn't too crazy about having to wear these but after the engines started...on they went.

The Mountaineer...

The Grave Digger

Sooooo glad I caught this face...too cute!

This was probably E's favorite part of the night.

We all had a lot of fun...hope you enjoyed the pics!
