Picture Perfect

My favorite picture.... My brother is such an important person in my life and I was so thrilled when he said he was coming to meet his newest nephew. He was in the delivery room when Landon was born and I was so grateful he was there. It was such an amazing time to have my husband and family there with me- brings me to tears just remembering that moment. Kris arrived earlier this week and the boys and I headed over to mom's house. I was so happy she had her camera in her hand to capture this picture. It could not have been staged or re-created, it was such a sweet moment of me showing Kris his baby nephew. The smile on our faces is priceless- Adam's smile stretched further than his face. He seemed to know that this was "his" Uncle and they would be bonded for life. It was such a great week- took a lot of pictures with the family and of Kris and Landon playing hard and then Kris and Adam sleeping peacefully. Thank you Kris for being here and making another moment in the lives of our family so special. We love you and your nephews just adore you!

Fall Is On It's Way!

Landon, Adam, and I were driving home the other day and as we pulled into the driveway we saw a plant in the mix of the pine trees with red, orange and yellow leaves. Holy Cow! How is fall here already? The native Coloradans tell me that fall begins on Labor Day here. I'm still figuring out this weather. I'm still adjusting to seasons! But fall is my favorite- the colors are so beautiful. I love the feel of a sunny day with a crisp breeze that smells so good. I'm looking forward to going to the pumpkin patch with my boys and decorating the house and baking some yummy treats. Landon wants to be 'Thomas' for Halloween this year (surprise! surprise!) And Adam will be a monkey (if we can squeeze his big buns in Landon's first Halloween costume!) So- I look forward to more beautiful pictures of the ever changing foliage and the deer getting their winter coats. We need to start pulling out our winter-wear too!

Matthew's 35th Birthday Week

My husband has turned 35! It's a pretty big year. We have sure been through a lot these past 5 years together. I can't say enough about Matthew. He is an amazing man. He is beyond brilliant...he can fix anything (usually involves cardboard and duck tape- and it lasts forever:) )

He is a wonderful father~ his boys just adore him~so does mommy. He's a typical guy- worries about providing for the family and wants to make sure the kids have a college fund and we have our retirement taken care of. As for me~ I live in the now and it's great that he balances me out. He has accomplished a lot in the past 35 years. From his career at Disney to being a married man with 2 boys (so far!) and has been racing for the past few years in the SCCA~ I would say it's been a great ride and I'm looking forward to a long journey with him. I am so thankful for the life he has given me~ our boys~the beautiful state we live in~ our dream house~ our dreams...Happy Birthday Matthew! I love you today, tomorrow and always!
