Happy Anniversary Steve-o!  :) 

Thanks for the most perfect, crazy, delightful, tricky, wonderful, amazing 11 years!!!
I love you more than ever!!!

shared deliciousness

Introducing E to corn that is actually still on the cob...he usually prefers it sliced off!

But when you can munch in tandem with dad...it's way more fun!

Handy Hubby

Both Steve and I have a dream of being master woodworkers. We both love the tools and figuring out what exactly to do with them! Plus, if you can actually build something useful - a total bonus, right?!?!

Steve is being a little more pro-active about this dream right now than I am...and here's the proof! I found some plans for this little ottoman/bench/storage chest thingy that promised to stretch our woodworking abilities and provide us with a little piece of furniture that would actually be useful - as long as all the legs measure the same length! :) Steve is diving right in (despite the 500 degree temperatures in our garage after work) and it is finally taking shape!!!

So here's my handy boyfriend last night...and a token picture of me with my staple gun. This picture is only included because it was the only one that showed more of the progress we made! I haven't helped at all on this project (thus the reason the legs WILL all be the same length!), but he was nice enough to let me attempt to be helpful last night during the assembly process!

Thanks Steve...I love working on projects together! Want to do a built-in entertainment center next??? :)

Happy Birthday Steve-o!

Today is the big 3-0 for Steve! Wahoo! Now hopefully, Garrett will quit declaring, "Really Mom? You're older than Dad?!?!?! You don't look bigger than him!" I guess age is a hard concept...funny since Garrett eats, drinks and breathes his birthday. He plans his next birthday party almost daily...and yes - we have to wait all the way until January for his big event!

So here are a few celebratory pictures...in honor of the current birthday boy!

And yes...the shirt says 'hug me'...how cute is that???

Hmmm...glad to see the mischievous little grin has been there since the beginning!

Happy Birthday Steve! We love you so much!!!
