Look who's turning 30!

Yikes...30? Happy Birthday love.

You are an amazing husband, very sexy{grrrr}, funny, patient and of course the best Dad in the world. I am so grateful for you and all that you do for our little family. Each day I fall more in love with you. We are so sad you are not home to celebrate...

don't worry we will when you return!

As for Lucy, she adores you. {You can tell by the look she is giving you in the picture.} Her life would not be complete without you.

Happy Birthday & we LOVE you!

On this Veteran's Day...

I hold a veteran very close to my heart...My DAD. Upon returning home from their honeymoon, was a letter that would change his life forever. My Dad was drafted to Vietnam. There he left my Mom, his newly wed wife, home while he served our country. He stayed strong and positive as he served and returned home without many of his fellow soldiers. My Dad is a Hero.

We love you Dad.

Emily invited us over for lunch and a costume parade. Of course she had a little something up her Witch's sleeve....

and the kids loved it. Just look at their eyes!

Lucy runs in Grandma & Grandpa's garage door, into the kitchen and hops up on the stool Grandma put out for her. There is a quick pause only to be broken by..."Grandma, you made a mess!" But that did stop her form climbing up on the counter and sitting in the middle of the floured surface.
I can usually find these two snuggled up on the couch with some sort of TREAT in their hands. Lucy {hearts} her Grandpa.

Grandma Hansen invited us to her Ward's Trunk or Treat. Lucy was all ready {a little sweaty} for the big debut of trick or treating. She was shy, really timid but made out in the candy department. When we dropped Grandma back at home, Lucy dumped her bag out and organized her candy. Where does she get it from?


To-Do #1...work on colors with Lucy!

Look at that cute little STINKER.

And slowly the night comes to an end! Holidays are always crazy. We are now putting a new tradition into effect as of 10/31/2008...ALL Grandparents are to come to our house if they want to see us on the Holidays! Hope to see you there.
