30 yrs young & 6 yrs of marriage!

In a little over a week I have turned 30 and Steven and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary!

Keeping it short and sweet, 30 is turning out to be wonderful. I have 2 amazing, healthy children and a devoted, adorable husband of 6 years. Life is good.

Upon looking for pictures to insert into this blog I started to realize how quickly 6 years goes by... Steven and I have been through a lot since we found each other. In the beginning, it was the road less traveled by and it has made all the difference (thank you Robert Frost, it sounds cheesy but it is so true).

Happy Anniversary to us, Steven. I can not imagine being with anyone else. You are truly an astounding father and friend. Much love and support to you, always.

Honeymoon: Jackson Hole, WY

Madeline Claire: May 22, 2007

Anna Katherine: November 12, 2008 I realize now that we need to take more pictures with the 4 of us! This was Easter 2009

Enjoying the weather...

A few weekends ago we had some record lows and plenty of sunshine here in Lake Charles. We totally took advantage of it and spent most of the time outside.

Playin' in the dirt in the backyard...
Our two sweet girls!
Mommy and daddy are so brave for having this as the girls "playground". I am not sure how that little fruit tree is still alive!

Lock Park...
Anna Kate loves to swing. At one point all 4 of us were swinging at once. You forget how much fun swinging is. I request more swinging for adults! The world would be much happier :-)

Madeline was not sure what to think of this fire truck. She is such a girl. We saw a little boy just run up to it and started playing with no doubts.

The Lake...
We went and fed the ducks (and lots pigeons!) I thought this was a sweet moment with Madeline and her daddy.

Anna Kate is in awe of all the ducks and pigeons, but most importantly how to get anything around into her mouth...hummm, the grass, the rocks or even the sand down by that oh so clean water would be such a treat!
Sam Houston State Park...
We saw deer, rabbits, birds and lots of moss.

Anna Kate laughing and dripping a little something from her nose at the same time. I am glad we have a picture of this face because she does it all the time, and as I have mentioned before, parents forget little faces and sounds children make as they grow.

A great shot of Louisiana...so pretty! Of course pictures don't do total justice but you can get the idea!

Hanging out!

Here is Anna Katherine sleeping... I try to fix her leg every time. I don't want her to get stuck or hurt but, she sticks her little leg right back out again.

I wanted to blog about this precious little moment in life because I know this is one of those little things you forget over the years *sigh*

I don't know if you can see the rolls on her ankle- I will admit this now, I just want to nibble on it. Love it!
