I also included some pics of Michael and Kara with some crazy hair...enjoyso I'm not big on taking pics of myself....I feel kinda foolish doing it....

I had fun spiking Michael's hair up....it was too darn cute!

35 years and still going strong....

This past Sunday my sister and I threw my parents a wonderful 35th wedding anniversary party including a suprise vow renewal ceremony! We had a lot of wonderful help from family members with food, drinks, decorations, and my parents' flowers.Donavan made this wonderful announcement that went out with the invitations.
My parent's original wedding photoVera at Raleys did a fabulous job on the cake. It was very very yummy!!

Michael was being very vocal during the ceremony...and I think this was right before Kara shouted that she was potty!!

9 months old and 7 teeth

So Michael is now 9 months old and doing great. He now weighs 19 lbs and is measuring at 29.5 in long...he is definately going to be tall like his daddy. He also has 7 teeth!! I say this boy is ready for some steak and potatoes.

Michael sporting a blood blister and bruised eye..thanks to his sister. She hit him with his very own giraffe rattle on the way home from the snow.

Look at all those teeth!!

Kara decided that she also had to wear a bib like Michael. She even put it on all by herself!

Snow...Finally!!

Well we finally made it to the snow this past Monday! Kara had a blast riding on the disc and throwing snow balls at mommy and daddy. Michael even took a turn on the disc with me. He laughed the whole time.We ended up backwards!

So I got a special little gift last night too! My best friend Donavan attached a note to a pair of baby keys announcing to me that she is having a BABY!!
I was very shocked as you can see in the picture.
I am so happy for her and Aarin and I can't wait to me the newest little addition due to make an appearance at the end of September!!

There were way too many good pics to choose some and I couldn't resist posting them....
