Our 4th of July!

We had a very busy but fun 4th! Ben had a ball game at 8. I am so proud of my little man. He had a blast playing ball this year. He was so excited about his trophy! He said, "Ben Won!". Then Alan took the kids home and let them nap while I went to the Tea Party to protest! I felt so patriotic! LOL Anyways, after the kids napped Alan took them to his aunts to go swimming while I napped! LOL!Then we went to my Nans' house for a cookout. Oh it was so good to splurge! I have been doing really good w/ my weight loss but I was ready to have a hamburger and some sweets! After that we parked at Ryans and hung out in the cafe at work until the fireworks began. Alan said to me that he was afraid Ben might freak out when the fireworks started because we were closer this year. Well, when they started Ben was just fine and he turned to his daddy and said "See, Ben no freak out daddy!" LOL He is such a mess!

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July!

Ten years ago today......

I met the man I would one day call my husband! I love you Alan! <3

A Day At The Park

Seperation Anxiety

Ivy has been having bad seperation anxiety. It's not with who you think it would be. Not Alan or me, but her brother! She is ok if I leave her at Grammys or wherever as long as Ben is there too, but if he isn't she is so fretful. Even at home she isn't her normal happy self if Ben isn't there. It is so sweet. She loves him so much and loves to be around him. They play together so well. I just hope it stays that way forever!

Javen's 3rd Birthday

A friend of mine, Constance, had a birthday party for her son Javen a couple of weeks ago. The kids had a blast and so did I. It was so good to see so many friends! Here are just a few pictures from that day. Happy 3rd Birthday Javen.
