Happy Anniversary to us

I just wanted to tell my hubby Happy Anniversary today!
It seems so much has happened in these 6 years. We've had three kids, moved like 5 times, experienced so much together (good and bad). I love him more everyday and there is no one else I'd want to spend eternity with. I just wanted to share a couple pictures for those of you that've never seen a little Dilly or Jerr with hair!

Update....

So I fixed the quilt and it's finished! It's Skylers "Bug Jar" quilt... since he's most definately my bug boy. He scares me sometimes at the things he picks up. I'm afraid he's going to get stung or bitten (and he has a few times). I actually started this quilt for Dylan when he was a baby and then it got lost for some years. It actually was a good thing I guess because Dylan doesn't like bugs anyway!

Today we went to see Santa at the mall and to my suprise you don't get the pictures then... I have to go back Monday and pick it up (which is better than the one here... they were all smiling).


And... best news is Jerr gets back tonight. He's only been gone a week, but we can't stand it when he's gone. The house just doesn't feel right without him.

Girl... what am going to do with you?!

Okay... so it's probably clear to everyone by now that Savannah likes to get into things.. make messes... try my patience whenever possible. So the other night I was making pizza and I opened the mushrooms and the olives. While I was cutting the olives Dylan walks in the kitchen and says "missing anything mom?" while holding an empty mushroom can. I didn't even see her take them and she ate the whole thing! The next day I was on the computer (my only outlet to the outside world) and I heard silence (a bad thing) so I went to check it out and this is what I found...

...500 legos all over the floor.

So then tonight she strikes again. I was upstairs getting supper started and she had gone downstairs with the boys to play video games. I finally realized she probably wasn't playing games and had a bad feeling. I had been downstairs most all day working on a quilt I am making for Skyler for Christmas. It's almost done... I am just finishing quilting the borders and then have to bind it. So in all the horror this is what I found...


I'm trying to figure out just exactly how I"m going to fix this problem. I've asked some quilting friends and am anxiously awaiting their answers. I do love this little princess so much, but she is nothing like my boys! They would never have given me this much grey hair :) I only hope she grows out of some of this!

(Oh, I did catch her trying to cut her hair with some kiddie scissors. She had cut a little bit, but I stopped her before she whacked off the big hunk she ws holding!) And yes... she did use my big super sharp scissors on the quilt.

Miss you....

Jerr is really roughing it in Hawaii right now:) I know I give him a hard time about getting to go to all these places... places I'll probably never see....but, I appreciate the sacrifice he makes for our family and this country. I know it's not easy being away so much and I just wanted him to know we are very proud of him and miss him bunches!
