The Sweetness of Sweet Water Tavern

We love this place! Cali's 33rd Birthday Dinner. And that little basket you see on the table is full of pure heaven (aussie rolls)!

33... Yikes

Okay, so today is my 33rd B-day. Not a great thing, this getting old stuff. But, of course, as I get older I realize how blessed I am and have been through my life. Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the stuff that isn't going right in life and forget about the blessings. Sometimes I get caught up in the fits and fights of my kids and forget about what amazing gifts they are and how cute and sweet they are. Anyway, I am going to take this opportunity, at the risk of being EXTREMELY CHEESY to say some of the things I'm thankful for...

-I'm thankful that I have the gospel in my life.

-I'm thankful I grew up with parents who are faithful and supportive, and brothers and sisters (and sister and brother-in-laws) who are great examples.

-I'm thankful I grew up in a small town, where my friends were great and still hold a special place in my life.

-I'm thankful for the friends who I have met through college and keep in touch with still.

-I'm thankful for the friends who I now have here in McLean.

-I'm thankful for the amazing family I married into.

-I'm soooo thankful for my kids. I can't imagine doing anything but spending my days with them. They are so funny, spunky, sweet, cute, talented, creative, smart, and they give the best hugs!!!

-Finally, and most of all, I am thankful for my husband. He is always thinking of ways to make me happy. I love his sense of humor and how he gets down and wrestles with the kids. I'm thankful for the person he is and the example he is to me. I don't know what I would do without him. Love you Bubbie...

The Beach Part II

Just in case you missed our first trip to the beach "Blog". Here is the second trip we took. All the cousins came this time! It was awesome!!!!

Can I Have That Ball Sir?

My Dad, Cannon, Brandon (his cousin) and I all went to the Washington Nationals game last Saturday night. It was the first time Cannon and I had been to the new ball park. I must say it looks pretty sweet. We had front row seats out in left field (Props to my brother Jimmy for hooking us up with the tickets). We were sitting right next the the visiting team's bull pen. All the kids in our section asked for baseballs from the pitchers and they managed to hook everyone up (Props to the bull pen catchers for making the kids day). It was the perfect baseball night and we had fun eating all the junk food we could find. The Nats lost though.

It has been a while since our last post. So here are some pictures I like.
