Bringing In 2017!

By
2016 was a GREAT year for our family.

We made a (much smaller than normal for us) move back to the town we originally wanted to come back to after our move from Dubai and it has really been wonderful for us.  It is nice to have a beautiful and private yard and a pool in the neighborhood, definitely a plus for summer.

If you know me any at all, you know I always have a plan, the kind of plans that make people think I am crazy.

I'm not crazy, I just dream big, I love adventure, and I enjoy having big things to work towards.  Of course 2017 will be no different, bigger, crazier dreams than any year so far.  Luckily for me John doesn't find any of mine (our) dreams and goals weird, crazy or out of our reach, he is always quick to jump on board without me even having to convince him.  We are such a good team.

Anyway, here are a few photos from New Years Eve.

We played family games and set up a photo booth and my friend Angela stopped by for a bit.  Honestly, I barely made it till mid night even after having a nap earlier that afternoon.

Wishing you all the best for 2017 and always.

Long Awaited

Ethan has had the typical "little brother" problems. A huge one being that he has been going to all Kaidens scouting activities for 2 years and couldn't participate. Being the observer of your bigger brother having fun... not so much fun. Then we had the move to Dubai, so what should've been his first year, wasn't. He was so excited and was all smiles at his very first scouting event where he could participate! I can't get over how cute and official he looked in his uniform. He took every belt loop he earned extremely seriously. It's also weird to see Kaiden in his webelo uniform, I always saw it as for the "bigger boys". I guess my little Kaiden is one of the big boys now.

This is the moment we have both been waiting for for years! It was perfection. Nothing short of magical.

Because Of You

By
Daddy, because of you I...well, exist.  Because of you I know I am special because you told me every day.Because of you I made it through some really hard times, you were and are still always there for me.  Because of you I always know I have a friend to listen that always has my back.  Thanks for letting me watch T.V. when I wasn't allowed to, bringing me home chocolates and pepsi (which was a BIG deal back then).  Thank you for everything you have done for me, and I hope you know how much I love you. Jesse, because of you I have the 2 most wonderful little boys in the world.  I know we may not always see eye to eye but when it comes to our boys we can always come together and do what is best for them and I appreciate that, and I am sure when they are old enough to understand what we do for them, so will they. John, because of you the boys have a good role model.  Because of you  I get to show them by example what a loving, caring relationshi...
