Happy Birthday to my Brother!

Congrats on the big 29!

Bike riding...My boy is growing up

Tyler loves to watch Zach ride! He couldn't stop laughing.

After 15 minutes of practice in Kenny's parents backyard and much determination he thinks he is a pro.

Tyler was determined to ride as well as his brother!

Got cottage cheese?

Tyler loves his dairy products!

Brothers!

The last few days these little rascals have really been independent. I am so not used to that! Zach started riding his bike without training wheels and had it down with 15 minutes of practice, now he rides circles around me and Tyler has always been the type to do his own thing. We love them both greatly!

Valentine's Day

I had to work on Valentine's day this year. It was my last day of Clinicals at the VA. When I got home This was waiting for me.

Then we went to the park and played for a while. Tyler was sick again so Kenny took him with him to the store and Zach met up with a friend that was there from church. We stayed til the sun almost went down and then we came home. When we got home we put the kids to bed. We then had a homemade costa vida dinner with Pico De Gallo complete with candle light....then Kenny had to go work at Regency. It was a fun night and hey there is one good thing for Kenny working at a Wedding reception place on Valentine's night. I'm not a huge fresh flowers fan but these were absolutely gorgeous!

4-4-4 Picture...Tagged by Laura

This picture was Taken in April of 2004. My mother in law really wanted professional pictures taken of us for display in our house. It was a while after we were married and I am actually 4 months pregnant with our first son. I was just glad to still get my wedding dress on. Man, we look young.

From Dad!

She did not duck the artificial bread. I was the third party present. The barrage of comments back and forth was incredible. Then I heard a thump when she hit the floor. Then silence. The whole time I KEPT EATING MY MEAL LIKE A SCARED CONVICT. The things I have learned....Never get involved in a land war in Asia, never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line, and never step between two women having a heated discussion. The first two I learned from watching Princess Bride.
Oh yes...I forgot. The coins...there were two people involved...her and her brother. Several hundred of dollars of silver dollars.Even with the things Alana has mentioned...She is probably the most special daughter Anita and I could ever have dreamed of.The things she did not write about-
1. She is the most faithful person besides Anita I have ever seen. She stuck with us through some really rough times.
2. People seem to enjoy being mean to her. They love telling her what to do and try to belittle her. She is a lot more patient than her old man (me).
3. She is one of the smartest people I have ever met.
4. She is one of the most headstrong people I know...and she can accomplish anything.
5. She is one of the most beautiful people in my life. I thank God I have them in my life.
6. She married the perfect mate. Kenny is the greatest guy...and he is VERY patient sometimes! They love each other and their children so much.
7. She loves people. When she says she is your friend..believe it. It is not a tag she gives everyone.
8. She is SO grounded for the shaving cream incident!Happy Birthday my baby, my friend.Love-Dad
