Eight and counting!

Can you believe that Lance and I have been married for eight years now? Some times it feels like we just met each other yesterday and other times it feels like we have been married for forever. To think that I was terrified to go out with Lance on our first date, call it intuition but I knew I would be a gonner; to now I hate being away from him and I want to spend every minute we can together. Go figure. I am so lucky and blessed to have such an amazing man who loves me no matter what and puts up with all of my craziness. I put up with him too, mind you, but I couldn't ask for a better man for me. To celebrate our anniversary we spent the whole day in IF going to the zoo, checking out the museum (it was the King Tut exhibit, very cool), doing a little shopping and ending the day jumping in rain puddles. It was great being together doing things that we like, teaching the girls about the ancient Egyptians and just plain having fun. I love you honey. I love the life we have made together and I love our family. Thank you for picking me.

Some pics of our 4th of July

Myka, Ari and Me at the parade. Gotta love my girls!

 Lance driving the boat on the river! Can you tell he loves it? I mean look at that grin. Love you babe!

 Myka and Adri were cheering their daddy on as he surfed behind the boat. They love it when Lance wakeboards too, doing flips and jumping the wake. They can't wait until they are bigger so they can try it.

 After a long day playing on and in the river I caught a killdeer baby chick for the girls to hold. You can't tell in this pic. but they were so excited to hold a baby bird. It was fun not every kid can say that they get to see bird nests with eggs in them and then get to hold a baby bird. Pretty cool.
