The Love of my Life

It isn't too often that I get to sit down and write and when I do...it is about the kids. Today I wanted to ensure that I write a little something about my wonderful husband Bill. We are celebrating three years today of being married. I think for just three years, we have accomplished so much as a couple, parents and just ourselves. I have gone through so many different transitions these three years from getting married, having kids, starting new jobs, starting school and even wanting more kids. Bill has been there through all of it, even when it was really rough for me and I made it hard on him. I have been struggling with school and figuring out how to be a stay at home mom and Bill has helped me to keep my sanity. He is the kind of husband that I had always dreamed about, he will rub my feet, cook dinner without complaining, change a dirty diaper and even get up in the middle of the night to help with Matthew. As parents, we are kind of put on the back burner with attention because we want to be so involved and show our kids all the affection we can. I do want you to know Bill, that I love you so much and you are everything that I ever wanted in a husband, dad of my kids and as my best friend. I know we may go through rough times or be very tired from little kids wanting to be up in the middle of the night, but I know it is all worth it. I couldn't think of anyone else to spend the rest of my life with then with you and these three boys. You are definitely the love of my life.

Easter

We had a great Easter together and ate way too much food. We thought that finger foods would be nice to munch on all day, it was way too much food that we just gorged ourselves with. Anyways, the kids woke up and found the eggs and baskets and had a blast. We had Bill's parents and Kristen, Nathan and Julia over too. We had so much fun just jabbering and watching the kids play. They all got to do an egg hunt, which Ben and Julia caught on really quick. We flew some kites, Kristen saved the day by catching the runaway one. We also blew some bubbles until I got light headed. Matthew just wanted to eat the eggs, Ben wanted all the eggs and Justice didn't want to share his eggs. They all had a good time and so did we. Here are some pictures to prove it!! I sure did miss my family back home and wish we all could be together.

Benjamin and Julia looking cute after hunting for eggs, Ben was already getting into his candy.

Justice loved the bubbles he got and Matthews, who says big kids can't have fun?

Ben wanted to keep dipping the eggs in the different colors. You should have seen the color of his hands...they worked better than the spoon he thought.

I think he just wanted Daddy out of his basket...he just wanted to eat the grass.

Benjamin's soccer metal

Benjamin finished his soccer practice and I couldn't be more proud of him. He did so good and listened so well. We all had fun going and watching all the kids play. I don't know if Ben enjoyed soccer more or seeing his friend Julia. Whenever we go anywhere it is always "Julia," it is so cute. Anyways, on the last day the coach tried to get them to practice getting the ball from each other, it was just so funny and cute. Ben got bumped out of the way by a girl too, it was just so funny. He just laid there until the coach picked him up, he didn't know what to do. The coach gave them all medals with soccer balls on them, he was so excited and showed it off to everyone. I am just so proud of him and I am kind of sad to be done...but we will be now watching Justice play tennis.
