seven years!

today is billy and my seven yr wedding anniversary (i need to get some old wedding picts out!). i love him. our life has changed so much in the last seven years, when we got married billy was still in college, we lived in an apartment, and since then alot has happened including cars, houses, graduations and two beautiful babies. i won't get to sappy, but i will simply put i am the luckiest girl in the world. tonight we went to try the new yogurt place in town red mango (like chick filet.. overated), but still it was time with my honey! after that we went to midtown crossing and walked around and sat in the park area and talked and laughed, it was great. after that we went to loft 610, a cool restaurant/bar and had a drink and appetizer. i want to go back there and eat and hang out sometime. then we went to the cinedine theater and saw a movie and ate dinner. that was a fun experience, not special food, just like most bar food, but now we can say we've done it. it was great to just spend time with billy alone and be silly with eachother. i love when we get to laugh together. maybe the best part of the day though was after we got home and the girls were both in the front room with billy and all i heard was him being silly and the sound of jamie and sami giggling uncontrollably. my life is so wonderful, i love you billy.

welp, we did it!

our first family vacation is under our belts. i have to say it was good, it went well, we had fun, and i have great memories. both girls did great in the car, sami slept most of the time and jamie made it about halfway without whining, then we took a break and played in the mall and ate at chick filet (which is overated), after that we played a movie for her to watch and we were there before we knew it! the cabin was nice, we were able to do whatever and it was awesome to be together. jamie didn't do so good not sleeping in her bed, every night she cried/screamed herself to sleep (even though we tried to comfort her), once she fell asleep she slept all night, but first thing in the morning she cried to get out. so that was no fun, but let's not dwell right? haha. here is a video of her and billy in the pool. she loved swimming, absolutely loved it. we would all swim, then sami and i would head back for sam's nap and they would stay and keep swimming. when they finally came back the would both just rest on the couch for a long time and watch a movie and eat tons of food to restore their energy. i love my family. more to come later...

skippers

jamie is my quirky girl. i love her. she is so sweet and silly. i've said lately that before i was a mom, when i pictured my first baby, i more so invisioned sami.. calmer, easy going, mellow, etc. but i got jamie first! she is such a challenge sometimes, she is so emotional and tender hearted (as is momma), and loud, but i love her more than words. i'm glad God gave her to me, and gave sami to me. my girls are my world, my days are defined by them, my life is incomplete without them. i feel so blessed to be living the life i have. billy is such a wonderful husband and daddy. here is a video of my silly jamie and her daddy doing "skippers" in the basement. jamie came up with this, she runs, then does a little side kick thing and i was laughing so hard the first time she did it. then billy came home and i see that he too is quite skilled at the skippers.
