For my husband...because I forgot to buy a card...

We’ve had five years together as husband and wife and those years have been filled with happiness, growing pains, unexpected joys, heartaches, and abrupt changes. We’ve shared moments with family and friends and built memories that will last a lifetime and even some that we would rather forget. We’ve changed careers—a couple of times! We’ve gotten more than our fair share of new cars—11! We’ve lost loved ones and gained a couple, too. We’ve watched our three beautiful, amazing children who continuously bring us happiness grow and change. And what I have learned, above all else, is that no matter what life holds in store, love and family is what gets you through. Here's to as many years together as life is willing to give us....

Love you always,

Jodi

Merry Christmas

Christmas, Part II

Radley and Sabrina enjoyed Christmas yet again this week! Papa AP and Grandmom Marge sent them both presents in the mail...and I won't lie, the HUGE box that the presents came in was just as exciting to the kids as the presents inside!!

Radley got a Big Crane construction set with construction vehicles and a hard hat. The crane is motorized and can rotate around and has a hook that can be lowered to pick things up. Radley's favorite thing to pick up? Cars. Anyone surprised??

Sabrina got a Rocking Horse that sings and makes galloping and whinnying sounds! The mouth moves as it sings.

And both enjoy fighting each other to play with whichever the other one happens to be playing with at the time!

Thank you Papa AP and Grandmom Marge!

We love our presents and we love you!

Radley and Sabrina

Christmas Came Early

Nana and Papa Z are here and brought Christmas a little early! Radley and Sabrina had a great time opening presents last night. Since it had only been a couple days since she unwrapped presents, Sabrina already knew what to do! There were a couple of fights--between Radley and Sabrina, of course!--but for the most part, it was a fun evening!

A vacuum cleaner! Mommy just wished it really worked :(

Madacasgar RULES!

A big truck with blocks--AWESOME!!!The tunnel is attached to the tent and the kids LOVE it!Sweet Pea got a doll named Sweet Pea :)

TRAINS!!!!!!!!! We love trains!The pink chair is from Nana, Papa, and Aunt SherSher for Sabrina's birthday. Super cute!

THANK YOU, NANA AND PAPA!!!!

We love you :)

(and not just because you bought us awesome presents!)

Sincerely, Radley and Sabrina

The pictures finally loaded! Don't forget to check out the videos!!!

Happy Birthday, Sabrina!

Sabrina Ryan is one year old today!!! She had a great birthday party with just Mommy, Daddy, Aunt SherSher and Radley (sort of...he was really sick!).

She LOVED the presents she got!

And she had soooo much fun eating her birthday cake.

I have never seen Sabrina as excited as she was when she got on her new tricycle. She had a huge grin on her face and was ready to go!Of course, there are way too many pictures to post on the blog--and thanks to Aunt SherSher, I am actually in some!--so I am posting them in our web album for all to see. There are also a couple of videos in there that you can't miss, including Sabrina's TV debut.

I will post the link as soon as the pictures are finished uploading...they are taking forever and I need to go to bed!!

It's that time of year...

Both of the kiddos have been sick this week! Sabrina is just getting over it and Radley now has it :( Hopefully they can both be better by the time Nana and Papa Z come to visit...

Need I say more? I thought not....

Happy Thanksgiving

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We spent it with Sherri and her boyfriend Pat (I won't mention the broken chair, Pat) and our good friend Lance and his daughters, Josie and Bobby.

Cousin Maggie and her daughters, Lannie and Mara, also stopped by. We loved having them visit, even if it was only for a little while! Her girls are always so sweet and well behaved--a sharp contrast to the well-meaning, but nonetheless crazy (and pantless), Radley.

It was a nice relaxed day with good food and good company. Just the way I like it....

Here is a picture of Radley, the Ladies' Man, with Josie and Bobby!

Daddy and a very, very tired Sabrina.

I'm having my first birthday party!!!

Do you want some birthday cake???

If you do, you should come to my house Sunday, November 30th, at 6pm and you can have some! Oh, and mommy said you can have dinner, too.

But don't bring any presents cause mommy said I am already spoiled!

She's a maniac!

This little girl is the craziest baby I have ever met. Absolutely fearless! Her new thing is "riding" Radley's tricycle....so she just might be getting her own tricycle for her birthday....SHHHHHHH, don't tell her!
