Mike is such a great Daddy to the girls! From dressing up for Halloween to reading books to playing silly games, they love it all! Here are quotes from the girls the morning of:

1- Daddy can fix anything.
2- Daddy makes me laugh.
3 – Daddy is a good reader.
4 – Daddy tickle.
5 – Daddy funny.

We went to church and then to Costco like our usual Sunday routine, but we did buy a new recliner for the living room. We moved the old one into our bedroom so that Mike could set up a spot to work from home that isn’t as noisy as the living room. Love you Mike!

After a day in Grapevine, Texas.

This summer my sister Tahni is starting a new life adventure by moving to Belgium to earn her Masters Degree. She did a “goodbye” tour of friends and family in different parts of the country before she left. She spent 5 days in our area and crammed as much as possible in. She stayed with us and saw friends and family. Most of the time with us was spent eating Mexican food, playing with the girls and talking. It was awesome!

Amazing castle that the big girls and Tahni built.

 Thanks for coming to stay with us Tahni. We miss you!!

Mike and I on our wedding day in 1995. Our friends decorated this cake from Sam’s Club for us. So sweet.

With the help of Aunt Tahni, the girls gave us this adorable card!! It’s the best! Nadia drew Mike, me and herself. Then Amelie and Dani did themselves.

We are planning on taking a trip later in the year to celebrate my 40th birthday and our 20th anniversary, but we did go out for dinner on the actual day. Our friends Arvel and Laura joined us for dinner at Bob’s and we had a wonderful time. Arvel was our best man, so it seemed appropriate to celebrate with them. In addition to the awesome and wonderful steak I had to have my favorite dessert from when I worked there – the peanut butter brownie sundae.

The first 20 years with Mike have been the best of my life and I love the life we have built!
