Marja and Rich June 12, 2010 Congress Hall, Cape May, NJ

WOWZERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So much to say, how much time has pasted and I havent been on here! Geez, that facebook takes over. I don't even print out pictures anymore! It's not good. I need to stop that. To try to catch up, I don't even know where to begin. We went to disney and had the most magical time, we got to go and meet up with out cousins and just played and had so much fun, it could have been a little warmer, but still the best time ever!!! We lived it up!! In every picture my kids are smiling so big it's adorable. I love those pictures. I have to get those pictures together! I'm slacking, because that is now what I do. My sister.........ahhhh my lovely now married beautiful sister! The wedding! Oh the wedding, I cannot even begin to describe. From the Thursday when my cousins got here from Omaha it began. It was like something out of a movie, my stomach was all twisted and just full of excitement!! My grandmother was here, my aunt my little Alexis. The whole family was here. Marja and Richie were off doing last minute things and we all gathered here and had pizza and wine and talked laughed and just really enjoyed each other. The bride and groom joined us later, they both looked a little stressed, we of course couldnt be happier. The next morning it was like WOW, ok, time to GO! I thought I was set! I forgot the most essential things like a hair brush! Long story short we get there hang by the pool, next thing you know it's rehersal time!! Now, dinner, now, I have to put my sissy pants to bed. Now it was just my sister and me. I got to have a little time with her alone. And ya know what, I will cherish that time always. We have the best bond. We cuddled and fell asleep that night. The next morning she wanted to sleep in!!!!! I made her get up, she didn't like it, but COME ON!! IT"S TIME TO GET MARRIED GIRL! It was the picture perfect day! We got up had breakfast and the rest is history. She cried a little (or a lot) Before the wedding. And yea the wind took the veil off of her head (check out the pic). It was the most amazing day I have ever experienced! The video pics capture this day perfectly!! It was just amazing from start to finish. And so is Marja and Richie! xoxo I love my family, I love everyone who made this day possible.

Getting Ready For Disney & Shoveling Snow

We're getting ready to go to Disney, and we are MORE than excited!! We have 11 more days until we leave. Then kids have never been there. John and I decided a long time ago, we'd wait until they were old enough to understand where they were going and we are so excited to see what it is like!! Miss Mirenda even being 7 years old is so excited to see the princesses and the castle and just everything, it is beyond her comprehension. Gavin cannot wait he asks everyday, can we see Buzz? Can we see Mickey? It fills my heart with such joy to think of us going, I cannot even imagine their little faces and how their little bellies will be all excited when they see that castle!! Even more exciting *we are meeting Jay, Lynn, and Zander there!! I mean this really is the greatest place on earth!! And quite possibly the best time of our lives right now! I had the BEST travel agent, she made this trip so easy for us and got me so excited, I can't wait either, I feel like a little kid!


We have been snowed in for the last couple days, We've had 2 major storms in the last couple days the first one brought about 2 feet of snow, yea 2 feet then we got some more yesterday, the kids have been home for 2days!! and I've run out of things to do with these kiddies!! We are all also excited thinking of Marja and Richies wedding!! There is much to do, and think about! How beautiful Marja will look. How handsome Richie will be. How gorgeous the day will be. The shower, yea the shower, can't say much about that, because Marja may read this. But it's coming along so nicely!!! I can't wait for that either!!! The bridesmaids are awesome, she picked such a nice wedding party, I love these girls! My Connie has been helping me sooooooo much, it is amazing, really we should be wedding planners, someday Connie, someday!!

But for now, we will continue our countdown until we get to Disney, then we'll have a countdown secretly until the shower, then a BIG countdown until the wedding!!! There is so much to be thankful for. My heart is full!! Like always! Thank you God!

Marjie and Richie and some deep thoughts.....

If you don't know already that my sister and Richie are getting married, they are!! On September 18th Richie asked my sister for her hand in marriage and it was a beautiful day. Marja had no idea he was going to ask her.

My family is more than happy for so many reasons, Richie and Marja are such a wonderful couple. You see them together and majority of the time, they are laughing and smiling. I'm not just saying that, it's really true. They truly are a match made in heaven.

They will be married in June, and everything will be wonderful.

As far as my kiddies, they are just getting too big too quickly. I look at my Gavin, and I think, WHY did you have to get so big so quick? I actually asked John the other night if we could have another baby. I really am having that feeling like, my babies are getting so big, there is no more carring him around!! Gavin has grown so much in the last couple months, he is tall and just well, ya know, doing what they all do..... growing. I miss that baby stage. I miss it. I guess its ok when your first one goes to school, your ok with it. Then all of a sudden you realize, hmmmmm, this is it. Everyone says before you know it, they get so big and you'll miss them. And though it is nice for them to be at school, I love seeing them when they get home, I just love that!! Is that weird? I love it, I love going to get them and seeing their cute little faces, like I can't wait to see them everyday, even if Mirenda gives me a total attitude and Gavin throws himself on the ground for something, I'm still happy on the inside. Any day now he's going to want his room changed. But, I'm thankful that I can be home with them, this I am sooo thankful for. I am here for everything, I miss nothing! Thank you Jesus! Yea, I'm not quite sure where all of that came from, sorry to ramble.

Now I guess I just have to wait for Marja and Rich to have a baby.

I'm a total slacker

Maybe because it's summertime and I havent had a chance to catch up with anything, and I do mean anything. Like not even the laundry! It's been such a fun summer and so quick. Maybe because the kids are bigger, it's easier to do more things now. Like ok, now we can go to the beach without John, I don't need him to carry everything. They are big enough to carry their own stuff now. We try to keep busy everyday. And I do know summer is about over, due to the amount of fighting that's going on now. They were happy at first now, it's over! Its time to go to school, and fast!
