Baby #6 is on the way!

We have another baby on the way. It was a surprise but not unplanned. I'm still a bit in shock over it, so it hasn't registered in my brain yet that I'm actually having another baby. Hayden is only a year old and seems little to me still. I wasn't going to say anything so soon but since Bob is getting ready to go on another deployment I'm going to need all the support I can get from family and friends. We're excited and pray for a healthy baby.

Thanksgiving!

Hayden's obsession with the toilet paper

Hayden just can't help himself when it comes to the toilet paper in this house. He has to unroll it all. It's time to invest in toilet paper roll locks!

14th Anniversary

Yesterday Bob and I celebrated our 14th anniversary. We were both amazed that we have made it this far and we haven't killed each other yet. Seriously!!

My day started out with a fun treasure hunt to find a gift from him. After several clues and going from one end of the house to the other I found some candy and a stuffed bear.

Later that evening we took a stroll downtown and visited the antique store. I love looking at antiques and I've been wanting to go in the shop since we moved here two years ago!! Antiques and kids do not go together and since I always have the kids with me there was no way I was ever going to get to go in there. So...last night we went in and even though it's not Bob's thing he did it for me. That made it all the more special.

We then drove to La Conner, a little town neither of us had ever been to. We had dinner at a restaurant that had the most amazing clam chowder and seafood. We'll be going back there again. We also found out that La Conner has several antique shops! Whoohoo! All the more reason to go back again. Haha!

He also gave me a new watch as a gift since I never know what time it is and I never carry around my cell phone. I'm always asking "what time is it?" because I buy cheap walmart watches that stop working way too soon. When I opened it he said, " This not a walmart watch." We had a great night together. We don't go out very often so it was a real treat. It was the best night we've had together in a long time.
