We've been caught!

The explanation for this PDA,

well we did just get our braces off...

Also we're celebrating our anniversary.

Six years of marriage.

It certainly has not been perfect... and I'm not going to expound on any marital advice (for that I will leave up to my parents who have been married for 42 years).

With that being said, it certainly has not been too imperfect either.

I married someone I believe in and who believes in me.

There is no greater gift than to love and be loved by the person you adore the most.

We got our braces off. Sooooooooo,

we put on our new smiles for a little photo shoot

The picture is a little blurry, but I guess that is what

you get when your photographer is a 4 year old.

So after a little training sesson, we tried one more time.

Boo

This year Blake came up with the idea for our costumes.

Too bad it involved me being big and yellow.

That's OK, I was up for it.

Mike was our "builder".

He spent many a man hours calculating, cutting and gluing.

Nice job Mike, they turned out great!

Happy Halloween!

Today I enjoyed

Children.

They reinvent the world for us!

A dream car, do you have one?

I don't really.

I don't care what I drive too much.

Just as long as it has at least 4 doors and fits my little family.

Mike has a dream car.

It doesn't have 4 doors and it barely fits our little family.

Recently he was able to purchase his dream car.

For really cheap.

Lucky him right?

Maybe a little unlucky me?

May I present Mikes dream car.

She's a beaut! Right?

To fully enjoy the dream car,

Mike invited some friends and took us camping.

We found the perfect spot

and became one with nature.

A Kidnapped GrandPapi

We stole Mike's dad for a week. Mostly for his company, but also to help Mike finish remodeling inside the VW Bus. We are pretty happy with the outcome. We couldn't of done it with out him.

We went to NYC for a day, spending most of our time in Central Park. Which is by far my favorite part of the big apple!

Breaking for some lunch.

I thought Blake looked so cute hanging

on for dear life. He learned the hard

way what happens when you aren't stable

on the subway.

The food is now kept in the refrigerator

Today I am happy.

I am happy because I can now eat these things

without cutting, pealing or avoiding them all together.

I am currently practicing my new smile for an after picture...

Oh to be a kid again

No responsibilities, no worries, no appointments, no tie downs, and minimal clothing.

You want to be a kid again?

I have found the place just for you - the fountain of youth.

AKA OBX

With the sunsets

and salt water

There is only time to waste doing whatever you want!

The Outer Banks of North Carolina where the bathroom is anywhere you want it to be

Where if you play your cards just right, you can be waited on hand and foot.

And eat until your tummy is just too full

We found if you walk far enough down the shore line

you can find a sweet spot for shell collecting.

Hanging with friends

and enjoying the heat.


This vacation will be hard to beat!

Oh to be a kid again.

Some things just never change.
