Today is the 4th of July.  Last night we went and saw a big fireworks display and then this morning we went to the clubhouse and the kids decorated their bikes and scooters for a patriotic wheels parade.  Later in the day they had a pie and ice cream social where they also announced the winner of the patriotic t-shirt decorating, Abby won 1st place.  She was so excited and we are all so proud of her.  Later after dinner the kids played with sparklers and the ever faithful pop its.   They are now watching the fireworks on TV that are in New York.  We had a great and restful holiday.  HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY TO EVERYONE!!

Happy Anniversary

Today is our 9th Anniversary.  We have had a great marriage so far with many ups and downs and a lot of adventures.  We have enjoyed our life together so far with travels and family and just enjoying each other.  John and I have been through a lot in our 9 married years together so far and I am sure that there will be much more in the future.  We have two beautiful daughters and a great home and a happy life to show for it.  I am truly looking forward to many many more years to come.  I want to thank my husband and let both he and everyone else know how much I love him and our life together, more now and the day we were married.  Here's to another 9.

I LOVE YOU HON!

The Disney Cruise

The girls with Mickey before getting on the boat.
The girls at the drill for the life boats.
The Elephant.  The kids loved to see which new ones they would get each night.
The girls loved burying John in the sand.

This past weekend we went on a Disney Cruise.  It was sooooo much fun!!  If anyone asks I will always say you should go.  If you have ever seen the commercial for the Disney Cruise and the little girl is still talking about the cruise a year later I think that it is actually true.  We went with the four of us and we also took my middle niece, Abby with us.  They all had such a good time and were so appreciative of everything.  I am posting a few pics from our vacation.  I have posted all of them on my facebook page if you want to see them.
