Happy Birthday to me :-)

Yesterday was my Birthday. It's kind of fun having mine and Thad's birthday's a day apart. It guarantees that he'll never forget my birthday :-) I went to Crackers for lunch with my sister, mom and grandma's. I swear I could live off of their spinach and artichoke soup :-)
Thanks for taking me to lunch ladies!!!!

Happy Birthday Thad!!!!

Thad turned 31 today. It's not a whole lot of fun having your birthday on Sunday and to top it off Thad has pink eye :-( I made him his favorite "Zupa" soup from Olive Garden and a cake with yummy homemade chocolate frosting. Jacey ran around the house today singing Happy Birthday and was so excited to blow out "her" birthday candles :-)

Happy Anniversary Honey!!!

Today is mine and Thad's 4 year wedding anniversary. My how the time flies by. Oh what I would give to look like I did 4 years ago :-) And, Thad had hair back then (hee, hee). To commemorate our anniversary I thought I'd write a few of the things I love about my hubby :-)
1.) Thad is the hardest worker I know. When asked what age he'd like to retire he answers "Never, I'd be bored out of my mind".
2.) Although he drives me absolutely bonkers sometimes, no one can make me laugh as hard as Thad can. He HAS to always be the life of the party. He can never just be serious :-)
3.) Thad is the best Dad. Jacey absolutely adores him. If I leave to go anywhere she just waves and says "Bye Mommy", but when Daddy leaves it's tears and screams :-(
4.) Thad can get along with almost anyone. He is one of the most outgoing people I've ever met. I've lived in my house for over 7 years and still don't know most of my neighbors. Thad knows almost every person on our street (and the next) by name :-)
5.) Okay, this one is a love and a hate. Thad is the biggest tight wad you will EVER meet. Unless it's something he wants (motorcycle!!!). Most of the time I hate this BUT I also love it about him because it has enabled us to stay out of debt and to be financially secure. There's no better feeling than not having to worry especially in this crazy economy. Now, if he would just buy me a new house I'd be even happier :-) :-) :-)

I love you babe. Happy Anniversary!!!!!

Sleeping Beauty!!!

Keely and uncle David :-)

Keely Ann Mason

Yea!!! Our bundle of joy has finally arrived. I was induced on Wed. Aug. 13th (2 weeks early). Keely Ann Mason weighed in at 8lbs 5oz and is 21.50 inches long. She's going to be tall just like her big sister. Mommy and baby came home from the hospital Thursday night and are both doing well.


What a great set of lungs she has on her :-)

Sleeping beauty :-)

Jacey absolutely loves her little sister and loves to gives her lots of kisses.

Hmm, think she'll be a swimmer???

I know I have posted way too many pictures of Jacey swimming this summer but I just had to post this video. I am so dang proud of my little two year old that can swim so good. I have a feeling she's going to take after her father's side of the family and be quite the little athlete :-)

My little Dare Devil

I just love it when Thad teaches our daughter how to do the dumbest things. There is obviously a huge difference between what Mother's think are best and what Father's think. Although I am not very excited about my daughter loving to climb up and jump off a ladder, I do have to admit that she looks dang cute doing it :-)
