It's a Birthday Miracle!!

Happy 39th Birthday!!

It's been a long time coming...but we came up with 300 reasons why Mike needed a new iphone!!

Luck of the...Italian?

Well we must not have the "luck of the Irish"!  This week alone, between Owen and myself we have managed to go to the dentist 4 times this week and it's only Thursday!!!

...I went because I bit into one of these

 ...while eating what I thought was one of these...

 Owen went because he got one of these...

 He left the dentist like this:

 I, on the other hand, left with two of each of these:

A Little Piece of Heaven on Earth

A few weeks ago Mike and I went on a hike . Ian wanted in on the action so our "quiet time" together became a mom, dad, and Ian outing.

As our hour hike passed on, I began to realize that I {LOVED} our non-quiet time. It became quite clear that I had my own little piece of heaven right here on earth as we talked the time away.

Grandparents Day

The boys celebrated Grandparents day today... What lucky boys they are as both sets of Grandparents were able to come... They are sure loved!!

Lucky #13

A bit delayed...but here are the pictures of Crate popping the balloons to get the clue of what his birthday present was...(the letters spelled out Indiana).

AOL

It's been a crazy few weeks...and a lot has happened. 

 Ian received his Arrow of Light last month and we are very proud of his accomplishment.  He worked very hard over the summer to get all of his requirements completed.

He is excited to move on to 11 year old scouts...mainly for the camping and the pocket knives!

Good job Ian!!  We love you!!
