What A Blast

Happy 4th of July!
Many of you may not know this about me, but the 4th of July ranks right up there with Christmas as far as one of my favorite holidays, and this year has just quadrupled that feeling.  Watching my babies as they saw fireworks for the very first time was magical!  
Connor kept squealing and his squeals then turned to a few "oh my goodnesses", then those turned to two beautifully huge brown eyes staring at what must have been one of the most amazing sights he has ever seen.  The whole way home he must have said, "those were some good fireworks" about a zillion times.  
Jordyn was unbelievable. She stood with her blue eyes fixed straight ahead and her little finger pointing to the fireworks.  She kept saying "wow" and "Dow" which means light in Arabic, All the while dancing to the music in the background.  
It really is incredible to be able to live these experiences for the first time again. I like them so much better this time around.  
And honey, happy 6 year anniversary of the day you asked me to marry you! (only one of the greatest days of my life) And happy 5 year anniversary of the day we moved into our home.  I love you!

Family Date Night

Last night we took the kids to their very first drive-in movie.  It had it's share of bumps in the beginning, but all in all it was so much fun. Once Jordyn passed out, she and Patrick sat outside and snuggled while Connor and I sat inside with all the blankets and pillows and watched the movie.  At one point, Connor looked at me and said:
C: Hey Mom, we're on a date.
M: Yes honey, we are on a family date
C:This is too cool
M: It is my little man.  Very Cool!
Ah.  I just love him so very much

Hancock Rocks

Patrick and I had a double date with our friends Claudia and Josh this evening.  We went to see the new Will Smith movie Hancock and I just loved it!  I don't know if Will Smith has ever made a movie or song or TV show that I didn't like.  Aside from that I for sure give this movie two big thumbs up!  But be warned, this is not a kid friendly movie.  Will Smith says a few colorful words in the flick, but nothing my Grandma couldn't handle!

Go Fish

Connor's daddy took him fishing for the first time this weekend, and it was more than adorable for me to sit and watch. Connor took to it so well, and was thrilled to even help Daddy put the worm on the hook although Mommy begged them to just use a fry.  He can cast it out so darn far and real it in so beautifully.  He's a natural.  His Daddy was very proud!

Week in Review




What a great week we had.  Grandma Kathie was in town from Florida, and we had so much fun playing and loving and laughing the whole time. It really isn't enough to say that these kids are completely in love with Grandma.  The only problem we had was that our time with her just wasn't long enough.  We all usually go through a little depression when she leaves.  Grandma, if you're reading this, We miss you...Come BACK!

I'll Be

Patrick and I spent Thursday evening at the Cleveland HOB to see the Edwin McCain concert.  For those of you do not know, he sang our wedding song, I'll Be.  It was such a wonderful, magical evening and yet again made me realize how very lucky I am to be married to such a great man.  Thank you honey!
