Christmas lights on my house!!!

When Aaron and I were first married, he put lights on our first house. They were icicle lights and in the process of hanging them he almost electrocuted himself(mostly because he used a staple gun)
Needless to say I haven't had lights on my house for Christmas since that year. But I convinced him to put them up this year.
He had some help from Marlow, Colton, and Marnie's oldest son Tru. So they went up fairly quickly. Marnie and i made meatballs for dinner and chatted while the boys worked outside. There was only one strand that didn't get checked while they were putting them up and it took like 5 minutes to switch out, but it was worth it! They are BEAUTIFUL and every night as I turn them on I am reminded that my husband does have a kind and generous bone in his body. 
I love, love, love the lights.

PARTY! PARTY! PARTY! PARTY! Because there were so many people in town for Kyah's Baptism. We decided that Our church house was the solution to this problem. Luckily Aaron thought ahead and had the Gym and Kitchen booked Like 3 weeks in advance. ( thanks Honey ) All of our family that came for the event were ther and so were some of our closest friends. The only one I didn't get a picture of were Katie and Joel because they had to leave early. One of the best things about our families is that the In-Laws get along great! In fact they were chatting it up the entire time they were together. Aaron was so worried that we wouldn't have enough food to feed everyone, He practically obsessed over it , but when it was all said and done. there was SOOO much left over food that we were begging people to take some home with them! This was a wonderful reason for a family gathering and I am so glad that i have a bright special Young girl that has chosen to take the first step ...

Charles birthday

Charles turned seven on April 11th. I am truly blessed with such a wonderful boy. In keeping with a new tradition I would like to list 7 things that I love about my son. 1. He is always trying new things, when it comes to adventure he is all boy. He will try just about anything once( as long as its not food, that is where he draws the line of being adventurous ;O ) 2. When ever Aaron is outside working n his boat or in the garage , Charles rushes out to go be like DAD. I love it! he loves to spend time with Aaron no matter what the activity or chore may be. Its great bonding time for Aaron and him. 3.Charles loves to read. I think it is an ingrained gene. Both Aaron and I are avid readers and so it was bond to come out in our children. 4.Charles is better at most video games than I am... What a thing to have to admit about your 7 year old son huh?! When he comes home from school he does his homework right away and then the minute that he is done he give me the "puppy dog eyes...

GOTTA LOVE IMPROMTU DANCES The other night we had Melissa and Kyle over for dinner. We were just hanging out in the kitchen when Aaron and Kyle got the idea that they should dance around and be gangsters. It was hilarious to watch... I thought everyone needed to share in the joy of my honey, and Kyle too. I would have sent it into America's funniest home video, If I could have cusght Aaron running into the wall that is...
