Happy Birthaversary....

What do you say to someone who got married on their birthday.... you say....Happy Birthaversary!! My Dad made that up for us. Its catchy and fun to say!! So yes....today is Kirks birthday and our 12th anniversary! Wow...12 years! Thats something...at least to us. It has been a great 12 years! Ups and downs, but still great! Kirk is quite the man for putting up with me and all my weaknesses, and faults and well....me being me. I often say he had no idea what he was getting himself into asking me to marry him, but he says he loves it and is glad he did. Me too!! Marrying each other was a BIG leap of faith, and we sure have been blessed by doing so. Kirk has helped me become who I am today, I am will forever be grateful to him for that. And for helping me(in his very small role....haha) get the 4 wonderful children we have, who love him sooooo much!

I love you Babe!!!

Birthday Boy!! Doesnt look a day over 37...oh wait....he is 37! Heres to the best husband and best dad 4 girls and 1 boy could have asked for!!! We love you!!!!:) E wanted me to add she decorated the chalk board...

Wait till I tell the guys....they'll flip!!!

One of our bedtime rituals! You know....one of those 'something that will calm and settle the kids down and get them to go to sleep' rituals....NOT!!! The kids LOVE this, and Kirk gets to work on his upper body strength. Me....I just scream in my head the whole time cause they are jumping and flipping on the bed. Nobody likes a fun buster, so I just laugh and smile:) E was at a sleepover, so she missed out on the fun!!

Christmas Day!!!!

Just waking up Christmas morning. We always meet on our bed and say a family prayer together and talk again about why we celebrate Christmas. Then...we line up and head down. So exciting!!!!

Stockings first....
E LOVES to read!! She actually gets excited to get books!!
Since we hardly ever buy sugar cereal, we thought we would be funny and give them each their own box for one of their Christmas presents. They liked it!!! So did I.....yum., yum!!!
Nerd alert....You marry a man who likes comic books, and its bound to rub off on you. Sad to say...it has. But only these for me.....
