N9NE MONTHS

TYCE MAN!!!

Cuter every day.

You are now pulling up on things and standing up!

You discovered your tongue and are always sticking it out or playing with it

You are starting to eat everything that we do in little pieces

You think it's funny to grab try and rip Mommy's hair out

You are always giggling

Nothing gets you down!

AND LASTLY...

You got your first REAL haircut (clippers and all! We trimmed it before). You hated it. :)

Buddies.

Ivory has settled into our family so easily. We love her so much already. This is her favorite "hideout" (right at my feet under my desk in the kitchen) and Tyce likes to visit her there. :)

There's nothing as cute as how gentle a pooch is with a baby. AND, these two are just a few days apart in age. How cute is that?

They'll grow up together. :)

7 year itch? Pshhh...

Seven years later, this man is still the best choice I've ever made.

I love you, Babe.

In Heaven at 27!!

It sounds totally cliche, but it's SO TRUE.

I feel so blessed and love my life right now... today.

Jon had to be in Alaska over my birthday,

(don't worry, he already SUPER spoiled me with the pup!)

so I threw my OWN PARTY!!!!

GIRLS ALL NIGHTER.

That's right, we acted like 15 year olds.

The girls brought me gifts (naughty girls!), we had tons of junk food, kareoke'd (BOOM BOOM POW!!!), played games (Vulture, Stiff....), did mani's and pedi's and laughed the night away!

For not having a day with the hubby, I couldn't have asked for a more fun night!

**not pictured: Angie (D) Gatten, Amy Smith, Lorene Santoro, Jill Tucker, and Amy Holding (who was the only trooper who stayed through breakfast!)**

Happy St. Paddy's Day!!

My wonderful husband got me a new running partner for a couple-week-early birthday present.

Everyone probably figured I couldn't go pet free for too long (no offense to Michael, Cade's goldfish)... ;)

She is 8 months, beautiful and creamy white and comes fully trained! That's my kind of puppy! Supposedly there were 6 breeders lined up to get her, but she chose our family. ;)

Thanks babe!!!

TYCE ocho meses

This little amigo is the life of our party every day.

He is now clapping his hands... (and slapping people ;)

and is scooting, rocking, but not... quite... crawling...

He has had 2 haircuts, loves to brush his teeth, babble, eat and be around everyone and involved in everything.

Time is flying!!
