Happy Birthday to Me!!!

Last weekend my husband took me on an adventure!

For me it was all inclusive:

~Dinner

~Champagne

~Candlelight
~Presents

~A Canoe Ride

~Horseback Riding

~Shopping

~Roses

~And my Forever Love!

Now...

that's a scary thought!

Warning: A little mushy!

I just want to dedicate a blog post to my husband.

I know that I don't say it often enough but I have a great husband and I am so glad he is mine.

I know that we sometimes fight and disagree but I know there is no place I'd rather be.

I know I did nothing to deserve him but I do know that we were meant to be together.

I love you Bill Looman

I pinch myself sometimes to make sure I'm not in a dream
That's how it seems
I close my eyes and breathe in the sweetest moments I've ever known
It feels like home
And here I am I want to be your everything
There you are
Turning winter into spring

And everyone that sees you
Always wants to know you
And everyone that knows you
Always has a smile
You're standing ovation after years of waiting
For a chance to finally shine
Everyone calls you amazing
Yeah
I just call you mine

I fall apart
Just a word from you just somehow
seems to fix
Whatever's wrong
Oh, you reach into the weakest moments
And remind me that I'm strong
You've got to know
I'd be a fool not to see you even worse
To forget that you're more than I deserve

Cause everyone that sees you
Always want's to know you
And everyone that knows you
Always has a smile
You're standing ovation after years of waiting
For a chance to finally shine
Everyone calls you amazing
Yeah
I just call you mine

Nothing makes sense when you're not here
As if my whole world disappears
Without you what's the point of it

Cause everyone that sees you
Always want's to know you
And everyone that knows you
Always has a smile
You're the dream that I've been chasin' after years of waiting
For a chance to finally shine
Everyone calls you amazing
I just call you mine
Everyone calls you amazing
I just call you mine

Fishin' with Uncle Jon

Yesterday, Jon wanted to take the kids to a fishing derby. The kids like to fish...me, not so much...but if it meant spending time with Uncle Jon, how can you say no?

It actually was pretty nice. The weather was perfect. The kids got a little lesson on fishing and their own fishing pole.

Jacob getting the worm so Uncle Jon could put it on the hook.

Not mom!

Joshua patiently waiting.
Tyler and Jacob also patiently waiting.
Joshua's patience paid off for Fish #1!
Isaiah...could he have a bite?
Come on mom leave me alone!

No bite yet, but I'll pose with my dad!

Now what? Oh, another picture!

Jacob caught his first catch...some seaweed!

Tyler needed more worms cause he just kept drowning them

Oh no! Joshua's second fish got away!

Phew! He got it back!

I am not sure if that is dirt or worm guts but he wears it well!

Jacob's second catch...darn it! More seaweed!

The Ohio State Fair

I think Isaiah has a "quiver in his liver"

I know I am a little behind but...it happens.

The kids really enjoyed the fair this year. I remember one year we bought wristbands for them and it was a total waste of money. They cried and refused to get on any ride! This year we bought tickets and when it was all said and done, buying wristbands would have been cheaper. They wanted to ride every ride they passed!

Happy 8th Bithday

Jacob!

Even though, he has been know to drive me crazy at times...I love this kid and wouldn't want him any other way!

And the names are...

Okay, so my kids picked names for all the kittens. I don't know where they came up with some of them.

"Buster", "Sylvester", and "Precious"

" Max" (I like to call him Pumpkin)

"James" (???)
"Buster" in the shoe bin
"Sylvester" and "Precious" or is it
"Precious" and "Sylvester"

He thinks he is spiderman.
