Mommy I got you Flowers

I thought this was so cute of Luke the other day picking me Flowers. There was a patch of these behind our neighbors fence and Luke thought they were the prettiest flowers. So, he went over to pick me some. I had to get my camera and take a photo of my sweet boy being sweet to me! I don't think he realized they were weeds but I will take a sweet thought any day from my lil' boy!

A Few More of my Favorite Pics!

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!

Well, it's my Birthday again and we had so much fun last year going to Cheeseburger in Paradise that I decided to do it again this year. The food is soo Yummy and it's my birthday...I can eat a big ol' Cheeseburger if I want to! The kids love thier food as well and ate lots. When we came home they had cake waiting for me that they had made. They lit the candles, sang me Happy Birthday, and then Jeremy left for work. I was kinda sad he had to work on my birthday but he made it a nice day for me. I woke up to a pedi, then lunch, cake, and then meeting of friends for dinner. I had to get a babysitter for the boys but they always have fun with her. I took Brooke with me and she was a good lil' girl. Ofcourse it's fun to show her off. Well, thanks everyone for making my birthday special!

My Friends and My Birthday!!

My good friends met me out for dinner that night of my Birthday. Jeremy had to leave on a trip and my friends decided to have fun with me. I got a sitter for the boys and went to On The Border.It was nice to be able to spend time with them. Julia is my one friend from college who lives in Georgia now and came home for a visit. Lucky me it was around my birthday!

8 Yr Wedding Anniversary~ June 9, 2009

Happy 8 yr Wedding Anniversary to us on June 9th. I can not believe it has been 8 yrs already that we have been married. We were able to celebrate our day by going out to dinner with just Brooke. I was able to get our High School babysitter to come over to watch the boys (oh how they love her) and Jeremy & I went to an Italian Restaurant in Broadripple. We sat on their patio which was full of landscaping and enjoyed a peaceful dinner...well that is until Brooke woke up when our dinner arrived. ha! Oh well.... This year was Pottery for our gifts and we took the boys to a Pottery Store to make our memories. The boys had fun painting and we made a plate for our 8 yrs and Counting! Happy Annivesary Jeremy!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Luke Nolan!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUKE NOLAN, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! Luke turned the Big 3 on June 2nd. All he wanted was a Puppy Dog party, Doggie Cake, and presents. How sweet is that! I gave him exactly what he wanted and made the doggie cake myself. Thanks to Grandma Connie for sending the cake pan and it was so easy to make. Happy Birthday Luke!! We love you!

Luke's Birthday Fun, June 2nd

Luke's Birthday Fun! We spent the day celebrating Luke's big 3rd birthday! We started out going to the sprinkler park/pool for a couple hours (worn out kids), then home to open presents (fighting over the toys), singing Happy Birthday with cake/ice cream (sugar high), and then watching Hotel for Dogs (meltdowns), dinner, and then bed...ahhhh! What a day! I thought it would be ok for Luke to not get a nap today- for it's his birthday- but I learned my lesson..no matter what...kids still need their naps! We didn't have the big party this yr for we have Brooke but we sure did have fun as a family! We hope to see all our family soon as our lives calm down! Happy Birthday Luke and you are the big 3 now!!!

Summer Fun!

Here are a few pics from the pool. This was our first official day in the water and Daddy was home. Mommy has taken us on other days but we play in the baby pool until we can get our swim vests. Luke's birthday pics are next as soon as I get them downloaded. He turned 3 on June 2nd and we went to the sprinkler park/pool at the YMCA. We had a good time then had cake/ice cream. I will post those pics next! Happy Summer!!!
