The Best Halloween Party Ever!
Last Night was the BOMB! all the hard work finally payed off. Ranae, Kayla and I have been planning this party for weeks, it is so nice to have it over so we can get back to being moms. It is amazing how much work goes into planning something like this. So Travis and I went as Juno and Paulie Bleaker from the movie Juno it was hilarious we even won the best couple award we got a Barbecue Grill! but I have to say the Finch's should have taken it, I am still laughing about their costumes, (White Trash couple) they couldn't have done it better Brad even shaved the top of his head bald. You should have seen him at church today it was so funny!

One Of The Funnest Weeks Of Our Lives
Travis And I just got back from one of the best weeks ever! We had the most incredible week as you can see. It was a week well needed and much deserved, well I think so anyway.
We took a eastern carribean cruise with some of our best friends in the world, the Finch's (Brad and Ranae) There is not a better couple to be stuck with for a week. We did enough laughing that week to last a lifetime. I had a huge ajustment coming home to reality, there is nothing better than being waited on hand and foot for a whole week someone to cook and clean and even entertain you.
Some of the highlights were witnessing Brad in his speedo on Trunk Bay, Having Brad win the $1,000 dollar bingo, eating, eating, and eating again. Sleeping for however long we wanted. Having Ranae and I show up one day in the same swimming suit with no idea we even had the same suit. Trying to enjoy a peaceful lunch on a private beach with an Iguanna crawing on and around us. The list goes on and on but for now our memories with have to last until the next adventure with the Finch's.
Thanks Brad and Ranae for the best week ever!!!

Liam's 1st birthday
Most parents are sad the day their last baby turns 1, But Travis and I both celebrated along with Liam. Liam's first year was not the funnest or easiest. He has been our hardest and sickest baby. I feel like our lives have been on hold ever since he was born. Things have gotten a little better ever since he had his adenoids
taken out and tubes put in his ears. Hopefully this will be a better year. He is not walking yet which is OK with me except for how dirty he always gets especially outside, I was trying to do a little yard work yesterday, I turned around to see Liam sitting in a pile of mud. No one needs to wonder now why my life is so crazy.

A Mother of Boys
I don't like dirt and constant loud noise,
So how could I become a Mother of all boys?
Our laundry is colorful, blue green and red,
But this time I was hoping for pink or purple instead.
I always imangined I'd have one or two girls,
in her special "spin dress" dark hair full of curls.
I bought little outfits, hairclips and bows,
Fabric for quilts that for her I would sew.
Then the day came, and we saw on the screen,
There would be no pink, just more red, blue and green.
"How could this be?" I thought in my mind,
That is definatly not what I thought they would find.
I cried many tears, and for days it was rough,
I packed away dreams with the pink girly stuff.
Then one day I realized the fun and the joys,
That would come to a Mother of 4 handsome boys.
I was already blessed as a mother with three,
How much more fun would one more boy be?
We won't break the bank buying everything new,
I've saved the boys clothes and all their church shoes.
I'll still be the Queen of the castle here,
And the first girl they loved till their teenage years.
The three I have are the best I could wish for,
And I know that will be with sweet boy number four.
I can now look back, and often I think,
"Why was I so set on purple and pink?
I would not trade money for the constant loud noise,
That comes with the blessing of being a mother of boys!
