As time passes on...

So since 2008, our family has had a lot of CHANGES! :) We welcomed a beautiful baby boy, Liam, on July 20, 2009. To say we were and still are overjoyed is an understatement. He's a pure joy!! He's the spitting-image of his father haha :) He will be 2 in 3 months and 1 day... it's bitter-sweet. I'm so happy to watch him grow and I'm sad to see him grow up :(



Christian is a Junior in High School now... just turned 17 years old in March. STILL has his braces on but is anticipating having them off before his Senior Pictures. He's such a great big brother to Liam... they are buddies! He's starting to get offers from colleges (eeek!!)! Where did my "little punkin head" go? :( He's grown into such a handsome, courteous young man. We couldn't be happier to have such a great young man in our lives!

Ryan just celebrated his 30th Birthday on 4.16.11 (7 days before his ACTUAL birthday on 4.23.11). He had a great time... can't believe he's FINALLY 30 haha :D

Me, well.... since February 2009, I've been a stay-at-home Mom and LOVE IT!! I love being able to be home with Liam and to be here when Ryan & Christian get home! It's such a rewarding job!! Thankless sometimes, but rewarding none the less :) I love my family so much!!

2011 holds some great times ahead...... San Francisco in May, Iowa in August... and a little surprise that we shall talk about later! :-x

So until then... talk to you soon! xoxo

Tying the Knot after 8 yrs.............. Priceless

So ya, July 1, 2008 at 8:00 pm, in Las Vegas, NV under the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign... we got "hitched". We made it official after 8 1/2 years. He's my best friend... He's the love of my life... He's going to be the father of my future children... He's my Ryan... He's my life... He's my Husband.

Big Brother 10

Ok I'm an addict... I admit it! That's normally the first step, isn't it? I mean, I can't really say I'm addicted to too many things... but Big Brother is definitely one of my addictions!

I've been as bad as to have:

1. The live feeds

2. Showtime After Dark

3. Refresh (F5) this blogspot (http://bbdish.blogspot.com/) over and over - all day long..

Seriously, is there some sort of drug to help me? hahahaha! Help! Or do I really want it? LOL nope... love the show and check out the blogspot above... Carolyn is the moderator of the blog and she's FANTASTIC at it! Give her props all!

Ttyl!

Christian and his Braces...

So on March 17, Christian got Braces- clear ones and they are quite cute on him! He's growing into such a handsome young man... such beautiful eyes and tan skin. I keep telling him that when this is all said and done (mind you it's going to be about 2 1/2 yrs) that he will have a great smile with straight teeth, really white teeth (I promised him Zoom when their off) and a nice buff body (b/c he can't eat hardly anything) and he's going to be a ladies man!

He keeps trying to see the positives, but he gets discouraged once in a while. He's insecure about going into 9th grade w/ Braces... he'll get over it. In fact, he said some of his friends saw 'em and liked 'em... so he shouldn't worry.

Take a look- see for yourself... he's cute, ya? :)
