Playground Fun

oh how elizabeth loves warm weather and being outside, and it doesn't hurt that we have a playground in our backyard. she would live on that playground if we let her. she likes when we let her play keep away from her dog sugar, because sugar will chase her around the whole time in hopes of getting a hold of that tennis ball.

Darling Gals

Rice Monster

elizabeth loves eating rice with milk...daddy was being a rice monster and trying to eat her rice. elizabeth thought it was pretty funny.

We loved with a love that was more than love. ~Edgar Allan Poe

love - a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and the lips to pucker.
that is exactly how i feel around ryan :)
he is the most wonderful man to me, i couldn't have been blessed with a better husband. i love him dearly! just like elizabeth barrett browning said 'i will love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach', i will do just that. happy valentines babe!
there is of course another love of our life! elizabeth is our greatest joy and happiness. she is so dang cute! valentines morning she helped her daddy make flower and heart pancakes, and when she came and woke me up she said 'guess what mommy?', i answered what? and she with no doubt in her little voice, she said. 'daddy loves us!'

here is some pictures from valentines sunday dinner.
Happy Valentine's Day to you all!!

Jonathan & Faith's 15th Birthday

i can't believe the twins are 15 years old!! i still remember the very first time i saw them, and that just seems like yesterday. they were both just learning how to walk and i followed them around everywhere because i was worried they would get hurt if they fell down.
i just can't believe how much time has passed...and i still follow them around because i still worry about them falling sometimes :)
i'm just glad they know how much i love them, and that i will always be here for them!
happy birthday jonny boy, you are my special angel, no matter how old you get :)
happy birthday faithers, you are so much like me, and no matter how much the family teases us that might be a bad thing, they are wrong. lol. they call it stubborn, but i call it strength.
love you guys!!
