HAPPY FATHER'S DAY
Happy Father's Day to all the dads we know...but especially to these three great men in my life. First to my amazing husband whom I love and adore more than I could ever express. He is such a great dad to our kids and I tell him all the time he should have been the mother because he has more patients then I do. Our kids adore him and look up to him so much. I'm not sure who is more excited when daddy comes home...me or the kids!! Todd is patient, kind, and loving...I don't deserve him but I am grateful he loves me so much! Thanks Todd for who you are and making me a better person. I love you!!
To my own dad for loving me unconditionally even when he wanted to kill me or at least kick me out. He has devoted his life to the Lord's work and I respect and love him dearly. I am blessed to live so close to him and for the relationship we share.
And last but not least to Todd's dad for raising such an amazing son to be my husband. I am grateful for the values he and my mother-in-law taught their children and for all they continue to do for our family.

Happy Birthday Gunner!!
Happy Birthday Gunner...we love you so much!! It's crazy to think he is already ten!! I remember bringing him home from the Hospital on Father's Day weekend and it was just the four of us. When Gunner was a baby he had colic pretty bad until he was about nine months old and then after that he was the sweetest baby and child and still is today. He is very easy to have around and his personality is such that he attracks people to him. For the most part his a calming force among our kids- except for the fact that with age he is turning into some what of a tease- but the girls do love him and enjoy playing with him. It was so sweet the other night (after some very busy days) Nicole said "Gunner it feels like I haven't seen or talked to you forever...I'm so glad we have a few hours to spend time with each other until we go to bed" I thought my heart might melt. I'm so blessed and grateful they love each other so much! 
I love the sleepy eyes they all have!!
Gunner wanted to go Ice Skating for his birthday party so Thursday I took 10 boys out to the skating rink in Chandler for a party which turned out to be a great idea!! It was something different than swimming (which is what we usually do since he has a June b-day) and the boys had a blast!! There was one execption...one of his friends, Christian, had litterally been on the ice for 30 seconds when he fell and split his eye open!! I was video taping the boys entering the ice and all of a sudden I hear screaming. I look to see who it was...hoping and praying it wasn't one of mine...only to find my nephew Ben helping Christian to his feet. He was holding his head and when he took his had away we saw the blood. I tried to remain calm for his sake and took him to the first aid room where they cleaned it up and put a butterfly bandaid on it until he could go to the urgent care with his mom. It was a bummer but other than that it turned out to be great!
I ordered a Skateboard cake from Walmart (they didn't have a Hockey one) and it turned out pretty cool.

This is a picture of Christians eye...he had to get nine stitches!!

50th Wedding Anniversary
My mom and dad will celebrate 50 years of "marital bliss" this month so as siblings we decided to throw a party in their honor! My brother John and is wife Verna were so nice to let us use their "amazing" backyard to host the event!! We sent out close to 400 invitations and from the crowd we had- I think they all showed up! We had "yummy" food and the weather was gorgeous so people stayed and visited which is what we wanted. My mom and dad are two of the greatest people I know. They are full of love and compassion for others and it is evident by their actions. They are incredible examples to me and I hope to be half as great as they are!!
Mom and Dad...the greatest parents in the world!!
