EVERYTHING GREEN!

SO I FOUND THIS AWESOME WIG AT WALMART ON CLEARANCE FOR $3! I DECIDED THAT IT WOULD HELP ME FEEL A LITTLE MORE IN THE IRISH SPIRIT OF THINGS. WHAT DO YOU THINK, SHOULD I GO GREEN? HEY KARA AND CLAIRSSA I THINK THIS MIGHT BE DANCING MATERIAL!!

THE DAY STARTED OUT WITH A HEALTHY GREEN BREAKFAST-IN WHICH JARON AT FIRST DIDN'T WANT TO TRY BUT AFTER SOME COAXING HE FOUND OUT THAT EVERYTHING TASTED THE SAME, JUST LOOKS A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

THEN WE MADE SOME PLACE MATS IN HONOR OF THE HOLIDAY ( I MIGHT BE MOSTLEY AMERICAN INDIAN BUT I DO HAVE IRISH FROM MY MOTHER'S SIDE) FOR LUNCH IT WAS MAC AND CHEESE-IRISH STYLE.
FINALLY WE HAD A LOVELY GREEN DINNER WITH SHAMROCK COOKIES FOR DESERT.

BY THE TIME THE DAY ENDED I PRETTY MUCH USED UP AN ENTIRE BOTTLE OF GREEN DYE. WE ALL HAD FUN AND HOPE THAT EVERYONE HAD A HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

WITH WALT DISNEY WORLD COMES A PLETHRA OF PICTURES!!

Mark and I have a time share right down the street from walt disney world. we have owned this time share for almost 9 yrs now and have only used it once so we decided to finally take the kids

and enjoy a little vacation! Mark's parent's were planning to go this year as well so it worked out that they were able to join us! We definatley could not have done as much as we did if they had not come along! the kids had a blast, and we enjoyed watching their faces with each new adventure. Jaron's favorite ride was the star wars ride in which he still talks about and brinley's was the dumbo ride though she wanted just about every princess thing she saw in everystore. Mark and I were also able to go out one night and become little kids ourselves enjoying all the bigger rides. we finally decided at the end of our trip that we really needed to use our time share more often and hopefully will be able to at least make it out to florida every other year! Of course my favorite part of the whole trip was the beach! How i miss seeing the beach, often i become what i call " mountain sick " so our little beach trip was much needed. Our last day there was a nice balmy 85 degrees and when we arrived home that night we were welcomed to a frigid 38 degrees. All i can keep repeating to myself everyday now is " summer is just around the corner, summer is just around the corner!"

FIRST DAY: MAGIC KINGDOM
YES, WE DID THE TEA CUPS: ONE OF THEIR FAVORITES! THEY BEGGED TO KEEP GOING ON IT AND I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD STOMACH IT OF COURSE! THEY WERE SOO EXCITED TO MEET QUINCEY AND JUNE BUT THEY WOULDN'T GO UP WITHOUT ME. JARON LOVED " ITS A SMALL WORLD"2ND DAY: ANIMAL KINGDOM 3RD DAY: EPCOT

5TH DAY: HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS6TH DAY: A LITTLE R&R AT THE POOL - THEN BACK TO MAGIC KINGDOM7TH DAY: DAYTONA BEACH

TOP 10 REASONS I LOVE MY HUSBAND!

NO.10 :

HE IS MORE CLEAN AND ORGANIZED THAN I AM AND I WILL FIND HIM MOST OFTEN VACCUMING, DOING LAUNDRY, OR CLEANING DISHES ON MORININGS WHEN I AM SLEEPING IN.

NO. 9:

TELLS ME I AM BEAUTIFUL EVEN WHEN I HAVE BED HAIR, NO MAKE UP AND WEARING CLOTHES THAT ARE MORE THAN FRUMPY LOOKING

NO. 8:

WILL WATCH CHICKS FLICKS OR GIRL SHOWS WITH ME SUCH AS "THE BACHLEOR" WHICH I THINK MAKES UP FOR NOT LIKING TO READ BOOKS WITH ME BECAUSE I KNOW READING PUTS HIM TO SLEEP.

NO.7 :

WHEN CHILDREN ARE SICK, HE WILL TAKE OVER SO I CAN GET SOME REST

NO.6:

BUILDS THINGS FOR ME WHEN I ASK AND IS ALWAYS WILLING TO DO MY HONEY DO LIST ASAP AND NOT YEARS LATER.

NO. 5:

NEVER WANTS TO MISS ANYTHING IN HIS CHILDREN'S LIFE. OFTEN HAVING TO TAKE OF WORK EARLY SO HE CAN BE AT EVERY PRACTICE AND GAME. WHICH USUALLY RESULTS IN THEN GOING BACK TO WORK TO MAKE UP TIME THAT NIGHT AND RETURNING HOME LATE THAT EVENING.

NO.4:

DOESN'T SPEND MONEY LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW ( EVEN THOUGH I KNOW THERE ARE PLENTY OF THINGS HE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE) BUT IS ALWAYS PUTTING HIS FAMILY FIRST AND SAVES FOR THE FUTURE. I MORE THAN MAKE UP FOR THE SPENDING MONEY THING.

NO.3 :

DOESN'T CARE THAT IT TAKES ME A LONG TIME TO GET INTO A COMFORTABLE POSITION TO SLEEP AT NIGHT ( EVEN THOUGH SOME NIGHTS I KNOW IT KEEPS HIM AWAKE)

NO.2:

HIS CHILDREN ARE HIS LIFE AND ALWAYS SPENDS TIME WITH THEM TOGETHER AND INDIVIDUALLY- SOMETIMES IT'S JUST READING BOOKS OR PLAYING GAMES. EVEN WHEN HE COMES HOME EXHAUSTED FROM WORK HE IS USUALLY WRESTLING AND LAUGHING WITH THEM WITHIM MINUTES. THE JOY AND HAPPINESS I SEE IN HIS EYES WHEN HE LOOKS AT HIS CHILDREN IS UNDESCRIBABLE. THAT IS WHY I WANT TO HAVE A BIG FAMILY BECAUSE I KNOW THAT OUR CHILDREN IS WHAT MAKES HIM THE MOST HAPPY (WELL BESIDES ME OF COURSE) AND I LOVE TO WATCH HIS FACE LIGHT UP WHEN HE SEES THEM EVERY MORNING.

NO.1

HE NEVER LEAVES THE HOUSE WITHOUT KISSING ME AND TELLING ME THAT HE LOVES ME EVERYDAY!

TEN YEARS HAVE GONE BY FAST AND I AM THANKFUL TO HAVE MY HUSBAND THERE TO BE MY CONSTENT AND UNWAVERING COMPANION THRU ALL OUR UPS AND DOWNS AND I AM EXCITED FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS! LOVE YOU BABE AND HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY!
