Girls...

I picked up Alex today from pre-school and the first thing he said was, "Faith likes me!" Ok, I said and I'm thinking "Oh No" she likes him. What does that mean in 3 year old language? We'll apparently that means that he likes her too since he made a Christmas tree for her and she made one for him. My son, the player, my goodness. Amy I will not let him stray for long!

My Mentor

My mentor and now friend Jackie just let me know that her mother passed away on Thanksgiving. I recieved the message and then thought about how highly she must think of me to include her in her thoughts at this time. Jackie is one of the greatest women I have ever met and her husband who was my college professor is one in the same. I learned so many things from both of them and could only hope to one day have someone think of me as I do them. Jackie was so understanding, patient, and caring with her patients and taught me so many things. I could never repay her for the values she instilled in me. I am happy that her mother is now at peace after her battle and that Jackie can feel at peace herself for the things she did for her mother in her last years. If you pray please take a moment out of your time for them.

Jackie loves elephants!

What are you thankful for?

This is what Alex says our family is thankful for:

Alex is thankful for choo-choo trains
Aidan is thankful for Alex and his jumper (jumperoo)
Caesar is thankful for doggy treats
Mommy is thankful for her family- I helped
and the best
Daddy is thankful for chocolate

Kids are so perceptive!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

What a wonderful world.

Thank you to everyone that gave us anniversary wishes this weekend. We had a wonderful time getting away and spending time together. It's funny, I thought alot about marriage and we talked about what our lives together mean to each other and how we can't wait for another five years with one another and what life will bring us. Aaron is a wonderful man that I know would never do anything to hurt me. Sure marriage brings ups and downs but one thing I am sure of is that our marriage won't end until as our vows said 'death do us part', which hopefully is in another 60 years!!! Thanks again to everyone for your wishes.

True Love

Happy Anniversary- tomorrow...

Happy Anniversary to my love. I can not believe we've been together for nine years much less married for five. It has been a wild ride moving here with nothing to fall back on but us and actually making it. You have made all of my dreams come true from getting married, to getting a house, then our dog Caesar, and the most perfect two boys in the world. You even went over and beyond allowing me to do what I love which is staying home with the boys- even with a Masters degree- I know. I love you with all of my heart and am so lucky to have found the man of my dreams. Thank you and Happy Anniversary.

PS- I can't wait to go to our special place!

Stuck in my teens with Reality TV!

I don't know how many of you know this but I am a reality show junkie. It has been so wonderful having Tivo now because I can tape them instead of looking through E, MTV, and VHI for one of the 10 times they will show the episode again during the week. Anyway, this season I have loved the lines from The Hills. I had the line "Truth and Time Tell All" on one of my blogs but changed it because it sounded kinda worrisome. This week the line was 'Forgive and Forget' but the catch is she wants to do both forgive and forget the person who has betrayed her. I have always been a kind person. I can't remember anyone in my life that has made me mad enough to want to forget them, now I can. It's an odd feeling and even though you wish someone out of your life you don't wish them harm or bad. Anyway, pray (not literally) for Aaron since I continuously make him watch these silly shows. I used to say it was because my job was so stressful and REAL that I watched them for amusement and a little dose of something not so thought provoking. I don't have that excuse now I just really like watching real people do silly things!

3 year old language

We'll it's been a sick house at the Julians. Alex started it with the croup, then Aidan, now Aaron and I are sick. This virus has been lasting about a week and then your back to normal. Sorry to all of the friends we gave it too. Anyway, I know that I'm sick when I'm I have little to no patience with Alex. Luckily he says the silliest things that make me laugh so I can't be mad at him for too long.

Here's some of Alex's language this week:
Mom, that is the biggest pirate ship I never saw!
Mom, Spiderman is the best movie I never saw!
*** My favorite- Mom, my eyes are bawking and chickening. What's wrong with them?***

Where do they come up with these things?

And when do boys get over Superhero's? Thank goodness they aren't to expensive. We now have the Power Rangers, Batman, Spiderman, Dr. Octopus, The Green Goblin, Rhino, Superman, and the list goes on and on. Thank goodness that he knows he can only get toys when he sells his own- or Mommy sells them...

We'll anyway that's my update for the week. I hope everyone is well and enjoying the fall weather.

Take care!

Were going to Vegas baby!

I am so excited! My post is a little premature but I am so excited I had to share. Aaron and I finally chose a place to go on vacation for our anniversary/Christmas gift to each other. I haven't been many places on my own just your typical Panama City for spring break and I have been to Jamaica and Myrtle Beach with Aaron. Anyway, it's not like we are huge gamblers because I don't think we have been to the boat since before I was pregnant with Alex but it's a vacation where you can hang out and well 'what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas right'!

Have a good week!

Happy Halloween

We had a wonderful Halloween. We started the day off with Alex's school party. It included a parade, 3 games, and 2 crafts. Aidan enjoyed the party sleeping and I did the craft table. Never thought I would be crafty but you end up taking on new roles all the time as a mother. We had fun with Grandma visiting for trick-or-treating and going around the neighborhood. What a joy having kids is. Thanks again to Aaron who makes it all possible.
