Now
Then
I can't believe it will be our 7th anniversary tomorrow. In someways it seems we have been married a lot longer. I must say these are the best years of my life. Matt is all I ever wished for, or dreamed about. He is a great husband,awesome daddy and and wonderful best friend. Thank you mother for always praying for me to find Mr. Right.She always prayed that I would one day find someone who loves the Lord and would raise his kids loving and honoring our Lord. He loves me so much and always wants to spoil me.
Matt, I hope you never have to wonder how strong and deep my feelings are for you. I may have changed a little over the years, grown a lot, but what's been constant is how much I need you in my life. If my words sometimes fail me, always remember what's in my heart. You touch my soul... and always will. I love you!

Look What I Found In My Drive!
I came home Tuesday to find this 2009 Yukon in my driveway. At first I thought it was the wrong driveway then I thought who is at my house? Brylie had question after question about why this car was at our house. So she unbuckled herself and ran as fast as she could to see if Daddy was inside. She wanted to see if it was our new car. Lawson and I followed close behind her b/c we too wanted to know more. I was trying very hard not to go there and get excited about maybe it being ours. But I must say it was too hard. I look at Matt and asked, "who car is in the driveway." He just laughed and said, "Happy Anniversary". Then he laughed again and said,"No, not really my four wheel drive is out in my truck and so that is my rent car." Brylie's face dropped and she told him she really like the new car and wanted to take it for a ride. The whole ride she kept telling us reasons why she liked the new car and how we needed to keep it. The funny thing was the next day she didn't forget about the rent car. She woke up and asked if Daddy was at work then asked if we got to keep the rent car today to drive. She was really wanting to take it to dance class to show off. Now I love my car and have not wanted an new car but I must say this new ride has given me some car envy.

How about my Cowboys!
Each year I go and have the kids pictures taken in their Halloween Costumes but this year I could not bring myself to that fun. LOL Matt and I took the kids to the park to take pictures. The pictures are a far cry from the professionals ones but they are cute. Since poor little Lawson was born I have always had the kids do some kind of theme, so why should this year be any different, right? I did do something a little more big BOY because he is getting older. He absolutely loves the helmet which so surprised me. Thanks again Sarah D. for allowing me to borrow his outfit. I searched and searched to find one in his size but could not find anything small enough. I can't wait till Halloween so I can post more great pictures.

Fall Fun
Today we took the kids to the little pumpkin patch in town for pictures. They did great but neither of them really wanted to be photographed. You can read that in some of the pictures in Bry's face. Also here are some pictures of a few weeks ago when we went to Fort Worth's bioticial gardens with some of our friends. That was a hot but fun day. We need to do something like that again girls. Ok I could not get the slide show to work right so here are the pics.

Everyday funnies
1. Last Friday I kept Brittney's kids, they are almost exactly the same age as mine. We both have girls six days apart and then boys 4 months apart. I agreed to keep them while Britt cleaned out her house because they just moved. I had all the kids playing, sharing and getting along. That can be very hard at times especially with our sassy girls. I put the kids outside so I could cook lunch. I had the windows open so I could see and hear them. I could see the girls playing but could only hear the boys laughing. First warning sign. I went outside to find the boys marching with their shoes and socks on in the dog's water bowls. I took off the wet cloths and took them in to eat lunch. I had the two boys at opposite ends of the table and the girls at the bar eating their lunch. Everyone was eating great I left the room to go into the living room only a few feet away. I then could hear laughter from the boys again and the girls screaming. I walked back into the room to find the boys squeezing their juice boxes out across the table and having juice box wars. They were so wet and sticky from all the fun. Man, from that moment on I knew I could not take my eyes off those little guys or they would fed off each other and I would have another big mess to clean up.
2. Today Matt took the kids to the movie while I had Bunco. They passed by a restaurant that had closed down. She told her daddy that they had to close because they ran out of money. But it was ok because the government was going to bail them out. I just died laughing when he told me this. Man, where did she hear this? Then I decide to ask her where she might of heard this. She told me she is just smart not only that she is smarter than a fifth grader. I must say we are now vowing to not turn on our T.V. anymore she is sponge.
