6th Birthday!

 John's birthdays are always a bit emotional for me.

However, today on my big guys 6th birthday we are going to celebrate......celebrate ALL of his  accomplishments, the NUMEROUS obstacles he's overcome and the MANY lives he's touched and changed for the better.  I love you Johnboy more than you'll ever know.  You've made me a better person.....a better Mommy and I'll be forever grateful that God choose me!!!

Today we are also celebrating my parents 43rd wedding anniversary and my Dads very last day of work before retirement!!!

November 30, 2011 is definitely a PERFECT day!!!

Thanksgiving 2011

There are soooooooooo many things that I am thankful for this year......of course the health and happiness of my children, hubby and family are top on my list!  BUT I am extremely thankful this Thanksgiving that after 15 years away my big brother, sister n-law and sweet niece are finally back home!!!!!

I LOVE this time of year!!!

First Class!

Today my baby girl started dance.  She is the cutest little ballerina I've ever seen.

I think we've found her calling!!!!

6th Birthday Party

We celebrated John's 6th birthday this weekend and boy was it fun!  All of his cousins, friends and almost his entire class came (they are such a sweet group of kids.)  We played in the park, had a kickball game (it was the funniest thing I've ever seen,) ate hotdogs for dinner and baseball cupcakes for dessert.  The day couldn't have gone any better.

Thank you to everyone who made this day so special.  He had the BEST time and is still smiling about it!!!
