June 24 Carson and I celebrated 10 years of being married! I can't believe that it has been that long but in that time we have become a family. I am so happy that I got to marry my best friend. He is one of the funniest people I know and always has me laughing. He is also the best daddy and always willing to help whether it be bath time or homework time I can count on him. I love how he loves me... I can tell by the way he looks at me and talks to me that he is still in love with me after all these years and it's the best feeling in the world. I love you Carson and am so excited to spend many more years with you.
this picture is about 3 years old but it's one of the only good ones I could find of us together. Maybe that should be our goal for the next 10 years.... get more pictures together!

Ellie's 5!
My little Ellie belly turned 5 on June 21st. She is such a sweet, funny, smart, and loving little girl. Ellie had a birthday party at our house this year and invited a couple of friends and cousins. The party was as follows.......
My pretty 5 year old waiting for the party to start!
She had a pony pinata. (of course she chose the biggest one possible!)
Instead of treat bags, everyone got to paint a pot and then we planted flowers for them to take home. The kids loved it!

Swimming Lessons 2010
Swimming lessons went fabulous this year! Both Cole and Ellie did fantastic and there was never one tear shed or one whine about going! They both did really good jobs too!
Cute Ellie girl learned a lot! she finally got brave this year and decided to put her face in the water! Once she did it that's all she wanted to do the whole time a swimming lessons and in the bathtub at home!
At the beginning it was just her face.

Last Day of School 09/10
1st Grade Program
Cole was so excited for his 1st grade program and had practiced so long and hard for it. His class had to wear green and he was even being picky about what green he wore and I had to buy him a new shirt for the event! The day of I got there extra early so that we could sit in the very front row to take good pictures. The kids all starting coming in, and soon we saw Cole's class.....everyone was there and sitting but I couldn't find Cole! Of course I couldn't find Cole he was hiding behind the risers that all the kids were sitting on! Mrs Anderson his teacher finally found him and he started crying and would not sit with the rest of the kids. Eventually about half way through the program one of the teachers bribed him with 3 toys to sit up on the risers with the rest of the kids. He finally got up there, he never sang, but at least I got a couple of pics. The next day the 1st graders did their program for the rest of the school and that morning Cole woke up and said, "I'm going to sing today!" And guess what? He did it! That kid sang when Carson and I weren't their to watch him! Oh Cole what will I ever do with you!?!

Mini Steps 'Spring 2010'
Ellie was able to do dance again this last spring and of course she loved it! She did so good this time and we were amazed at how much better she got from last time which was only a few months before. She is such a cute girl and we had so much fun watching her dance! Good Job my pretty Ballerina!

Getting Grass! Yay!
The end of April this year we finally got some grass! The kids were sooooo excited and couldn't hardly wait to be able to play on it. Carson and Sam did all the dirty and hard work putting in a new sprinkling system in our lovely lava rock filled back yard! I really wanted to do a ground level trampoline but soon realized that would never ever happen! Carson's dad and brothers and their families came over and helped us lay the sod and then just like that we had a backyard and front yard with grass! Yay!
The yard still needs a ton of work done but I feel it is a never ending project!
The ground was so filled with rock that we had to
rent a trencher to even dig a few inches for the pipe.

Easter 2010
As usual we spent Easter in Fredonia with family. The kids love having their cousins to play with and experience holidays with, so we usual go and let them have Easter together. The kids got to decorate eggs together the night before and then Easter morning they all found their baskets and the eggs that the Easter Bunny had hid. They were very excited and it was so fun to watch Ayzie this year. She knew she was supposed to be finding Easter eggs and she was on the hunt! It was a good Easter.
