In love, you hold high standards... for yourself, for your relationship, and for your significant other.While it's easy for you to impress others, it's hard for you to find someone who impresses you.

At work, you are organized and good at delegating. You understand how to achieve goals.You would make a great CEO, entrepreneur, or consultant.

Happy Anniversary Steve!



Steve, I can't believe this day was 9 years ago. It was such a special and perfect day, even down to the rain (I had always wanted it to rain on my wedding day [I know weird.] I love you so much and feel like I won the wife lottery because you are the best thing that has ever happened to me.
In honor of our 9th anniversary, I wanted you to know the top 9 reasons I love you:

9. You are a hotie.
8. You spoil me.
7. You help me to see the error of my ways through humor.
6. You are willing to serve me however I need it.
5. You have given me 3 wonderful children.
4. You are a good example of what it means to follow the Lord.
3. You bring so much fun to my life.
2. You love being a dad and are a good example to our boys of what a man truly is.
1. Because you love me unconditionally.



YOU ARE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE! How did I get so lucky? I am so excited for my anniversary surprise to you on the 26th. Happy waiting!

love,
Tierc

Tyler Turns Seven

Maybe Tyler will be able to settle down now. He had a great 7th birthday yesterday! Thanks to everyone for the phone calls and presents! Tyler is so happy with all of them.

More Scrap Examples

Hope you don't mind me sharing my recent scrapbook pages.





Title: I was wondering if you know? Know how to STOP TIME that is. You are all growing way too fast!
Note: I created this collage in Picassa and then had Costco print it. (It looks better in person. I am not sure why it looks grainy in the picture.)

I actually haven't finished designing the actual text box. I am trying to come up with something stellar. But it's mostly finshed so I wanted to post it anyway.




I created this page, as my display, for my Young Women's in Excellence project. This was a cross between 2 different kits I had seen recently at 2 different scrapbook stores. I love the way it turned out.




My two school boys.





This is my page for our mini family vacation to SLC last December (2006).

Here's What We Do All Day

First a bit of creative play:
A whole new way to think of caterpillar machines.

Laney likes to play with wheels too:


Then Mom insists on some quiet time:


Laney has no problems communicating her needs:

Left: Mom, please change my messy diaper. (Note: she is prepared with both the wipes and diaper.
Right: Mom, please feed me. I am famished, because it's been 20 minutes since the last time I knocked on the pantry door.

At last, it's snack time. Again, some quiet.



We wash our hands and play the Wii.


We also tried to capture this darling rendition of "Popcorn Popping" by Laney and Ty. (Please turn down your volume so you don't have to suffer through my singing =>)
=



Not pictured is the fighting that makes my...


hair stand up, and...


want to OD on chocolate!!



...and the boys spend time in their rooms. Aahhhh, the quiet.

No Pets Allowed...ok, Only WebKinz Pets Allowed

"It's true", I say with indignation (hands on hips). I'm doing it to help Tyler.

We have a new "pet" at our house. Through a series of not so unfortunate events, Tyler has ended up with this adorable pug, who he named Sparky. He belongs to our family and to the much larger WebKinz community.

So, if you've never heard of Webkinz, you need to check it out. But, it's basically a community (shops, money, games, food, and so forth ) where your adopted pet lives. Just like real life, once you earn money, you can take care of your pet. So, being the dutiful mom that I am, I just wanted to make sure that Tyler had enough money to make playing on the website fun for him. Is there really any doubt? Anway...I BECAME ADDICTED to one of the games. I played it so much last night (in the guise of earning Tyler money) that my hand came away in the shape of a claw.


I was wondering if anyone knows of a support group for this?
