A lot to catch up on!

Ok...So things have been a little crazy. I know that I just posted on the 9th, but I really didn't do any updates and I feel bad for that. I have been putting it off until I could add pics, which are on my phone. I am having a little of technical difficulties with that at this time and will have to work on that, so look for those to come. So, let's see. Where to begin. I will start with a little about last month acutally.

25 Sep-Happy Birthday Mom! We celebrated at Olive Garden with my Aunt Patti, Heather and Robert. We had a really nice time and I hope my mom enjoyed her day. Now just a little about my mom. My mom is so amazing. To know my mom, is really to love her. She has a positive influence on everyone she meets. She has been through so much in her life, but through the struggles in her life she has truely become the strongest person I know. Everyday I realize how very important she is to me. She loves her grandkids more than anything in the world and they love her just the same. I don't tell her nearly enough how much she means to me. Thanks Mom, for being the person you. I love you!

My mom's birthday a few years ago. We surprised her with a makeover and pictures!

9 Oct-Happy Birthday Dad! We didn't celebrate my Dad's birthday(I can't really remember why) He is kinda a grump. He just says "it's just another day!" I don't agree, but really there is no arguing with him. I felt bad all we got him was a pair of jeans, but he was grateful for them. Now a little about my Dad. He is a very strong man. He has always done what he feels to be the right. In his words, "I do what I have to do!" He has a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone, which sometimes ends up hurting him. He loves his grandkids and they love him. We are glad he is here with us and hope that he is happy to be here.

10 Oct-Happy Birthday Aunt Patti. No celebrating. Just a phone call. I am so glad that we are so close though. My Aunt Patti is so creative. She can look at something and say, I can do that and then do it! She has always been there for me. I sometimes think of her as a second mom, and my kids love her more than just an Aunt. Michael even calls her Nana sometimes...usually when we are around the cousins. She is a super fun person! Love you Aunt Patti.


OTHER NEWS-
-Robert was off today. We just spent the day hanging out. We were going to take the kids Go Carting, but the boys were not tall enough. Across the street from the Go Cart place was a huge firestation. One look and Michael was in Heaven. We decided to go over and check it out. We found that it was closed, but Michael went up to the bay window and looked in. He waved at the fire-fighters and they came out. We told them that Michael just loves Fire-fighters and is going to be one, so they invited us in. We were able to go in and the kids got to go up and check out the trucks. The station was like 5 times the size of Yelm where we celebrated Michael's 5th Birthday. It was lots of fun and all the kids had fun...even Elisa! (pics soon)

11 Oct- HAPPY 11th ANNIVERSARY!
Robert and I had a great day. The boys had basketball in the morning and early afternoon so we took care of that. Robby won 2nd place in the Hot Shot competition for Basketball. Michael was a little upset because he didn't win, but he was excited for Robby. Ater, we took them over to hang out with grandma. Elisa stayed home and enjoyed the TV to herself!(yikes) Robert and I went to a movie, and the Melting Pot. I have wanted to go there for so long. It was so much FUN! I want to go back. Yes, it is a little pricey, but I think it is so worth it. Robert and I had such a wonderful time enjoying each others company, and surprisingly we had things to talk about. We walked around downtown by the Tacoma Glass Mueseum before dinner. The weather could have not been more perfect. It was cool but not cold and it wasn't raining. It was really neat to see the outside glass work. I would like to go see inside. (pics soon)
So, why I love Robert so much. Robert is so unique~ He loves what he does and gives 110% to everything all the time~ He is a soldier whole hearted and will defend what he does with everthing he has.~He loves sports of all kinds and has his favorite teams~Which he loves to watch when he can~ He is competitive in everything he does and HATES to lose anything~ He hates to be wrong~ He loves his children more than life~ He is his childrens' Hero and mine too~ He is patient with my many mood swings~ He helps me when I need it and knows when not to try and help~ He is my Eternal Companion~ No words could ever really express how grateful I am to him or how much I love him~ Happy Anniversary Robert...thanks for 11 wonderful years and I look forward to many more!
Well, if any of you have lasted this long...I think that is enough for now. I will try and get pics up soon. I know my mom is wanting them. Hope I didn't bore you all too much. More soon!
