SNOW DAY!

We had a major snow storm not too long ago, and we decided to go out with the camera this time, and take some fun photos of the girls sledding. It was Josie's first time really understanding the concept of what was happening and for her to feel completly freaked out while going down hill. She loved it, but once Danny pushed off from the top and started to go down, she'd cover her eyes, keep smiling, and wouldn't open her eyes till they had stopped. Of coarse after, she'd want to do it all over again. Then there is Kelli who runs up there by herself, and gets a running start and jumps on her sled and starts to speed down the hill. Its so funny to see the difference in each other these lil crazy girls of mine, but they are so much fun and at such a fun age!








We also built a HUGE snowman.. infact, there was one next to ours and ours looked like Godzilla. It was huge. The snow was PERFECT and it wasn't too chilly outside either so we were able to sled for a couple hours. Kelli helped roll some of the balls for the snowman.. and Josie followed and ate the snow up behind them.. It was fun to go and do something with Danny before he had to go back to work..

Christmas Dance Recital

Kelli started to take dance this year at good ole' Luv 2 Dance. My nieces have been taking here for like 13 years and i finally joined in.. Miss Shaundee is her teacher... (yes her Aunt Shaundee) and she looks forward to going to class every week. Her cousin Brooklyn is in her class, and cousins Abby and Halle. Its so fun to get together every week and get to talk to my cousins and catch up on things that are going on.. The girls did such a great job and they all looked SO CUTE in their lil' tutu's. Their song was to "Jingle Bells" and it was OH so cute!





As you can tell, she's a little diva in some of her posing pictures, but she LOVES TO DANCE and practices daily, and even taught her 2 year old sister the entire "Jingle Bell" dance. I can't wait for the many more recitals we'll be attending.

ps: it was pretty awesome to go to the Christmas Recital since all of my cousins were basically there.. cause my other niece Samantha danced right after, and my cousins lil' girl is in that class as well.. so we had lots and lots of support there.

6 years

Where the heck has the time gone?!?! I can't believe tomorrow on December 17 I will be celebrating my 6 year anniversay!!! I feel like I should be in my 30's.. not even at my mid twenties! Its gone by so fast. It hasn't been the easiest, but we've gotten through so many things that have brought us closer together.. not only as a couple but as friends. That will be the "sappy-ist" thing I'm going to say cause I hate it when people go on and on about how wonderful and blissful life is.. because we all know.. thats just not true! Life is hard.. marriage is hard... raising children is hard... finding a job is hard... but all those hard things, are the things that make you stronger as a person, couple, and family.


Although this man can drives me NUTS on a regular basis.. I gotta love him! (But dont fret, I'm perfect and nothing I EVER do bothers him, haha) He's so determined, hard working, funny, honest, 'take no crap from no one kind of guy' and although at times, some of those qualities drives me up the wall..... 2 seconds later they are on the long list of reasons why we get along so well.
I'm so proud of him and all that he's done in his life and is striving to do. We dont know whats next, but we are excited, hopeful, learning patience, and always striving to be better people to each other, our children, our family, and our friends.

not to forget of coarse... over the 6 years of marriage we've brought into this world 2 beautiful little girls who we love so much, and we keep us laughing, exhausted, running, dancing, driving all over, cooking, CLEANING, learning patience, not getting any sleep, cleaning, and at the end of every day.. SMILING.

So, here's to our family of 4.. who started out with a crazy 18 year old, and a cradle robbin' 22 year old who tied the knot 6 years ago... lets keep keepin' it real babe! xoxo
