Bestfriends wedding!

So, my best friend, Brittany got married this past weekend!! The wedding was beautiful.. and all of us girls had a great weekend prepping for the wedding.. lots of pampering and laughter!! Such great memories were made!!

Looking forward to a lifelong journey of happiness with my friends!! I love weddings... And have decided Tj and me will definitely be celebrating with a ceremony.. he would rather wait 10 years... but I'm thinking my original date for the Ice Princess wedding in December of 2013 will be absolutely perfect!

Did I mention I got my husband to dance with me?? For those that know him, you know what a HUGE accomplishment this was... and I didn't even have to beg, bribe, or drag him kicking and screaming!!! And I absolutely loved it!! Only made me fall that much deeper in love with him.. everytime I think I can't love him any more.. he amazes me once again! :)

Field trip fun!!

So I went with Jazzie on her 4-H fieldtrip and survived!! 70 some-odd hormonal/pre pubescent 12 year olds in one spot can work a number on ya!! We practiced archery, hiking, and rock wall climbing in efforts to teach the kids the meanings of team work, patience, and listening skills... needless to say, some needed more help in those areas than others! Day two they got to canoe and fish.. And they were all truly a sight to see!!

Overall, I think that a great time was had by all!! Although, the adult Chaperones that got to get away to build the campfire will be having laughs for a long time to come!!

Looking forward to going in later years with the boys!!

But while I had a great time.. I missed the rest of my immensely!! And having to come to work tonight without getting time to spend with them... Well.. that just stinks!!

Making memories

It's been awhile since I've posted.. and I really don't have much of an excuse.. in fact.. I don't have an excuse at all. And this is a little past due.. but I'm guessing better late than never.

This year, I had to work the night of Easter.. We woke up to 5 excited babies since it was obvious by the baskets, that the Easter bunny had been to our house! Sebastian was especially excited to see 5 baskets laid out in a row in the living room!! He felt the need to go back and forth to them all... even after it had been designated as to who's was whose! It was too cute. Xander on the other hand felt it was necessary to dig to the very bottom of the basket to make sure there wasn't any goodies hidden!!

We then headed off to Sunday morning church, and enjoyed a great service!! We are really so happy to have gotten back into church! And our church has an amazing youth program, and the kids absolutely love it!!

When we got home, it was time to hunt Easter eggs.. We let Bastian and Xander have a head start.. and once Bastian figured out the name of the game.. he was on a roll!! He would find eggs that his daddy and I missed! Xander even got in on the action crawling to get his!!

Was a magnificent day.. And I'm so grateful for the memories we are building.. I was a little worried at the beginning of the year when I took a 30% pay cut when I would no longer be working weekends.. but I have absolutely loved being home with my family on the weekends!!
