Needless to say, our lives are busy and it takes a trip to Hawaii to find the time to catch up! I'm going to do my best to go back and add some posts with pictures from this past year. It has been a life-changing year for us (for a few reasons), but we are doing well and enjoying every moment we have together as a family.<br /><br />Gage is growing up so fast and keeping us on our toes. He is such a fun-loving, caring, smart and charismatic little boy. I can't believe he will be three years old in August! He is looking forward to his third birthday because he thinks he will have so many more <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">privileges</span>, like chewing gum or having a Dr. Pepper. He asks, "When I'm three, I can have gum?" or "I can have Dr. Pepper when I'm three, right Mommy?" He finished his first year of "school" in May. It was a rocky start in August with a few weeks of tears as I dropped him off, but he finally adjusted and absolutely loved his bible school. I am amazed at how much he learned <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">throughout</span> the year and couldn't have asked for better teachers. I think they loved Gage just as much as he loved them! Gage is ready to go back to school, but I'm afraid he is going to be sad when he doesn't have Ms. Amy, Courtney, and Jessica for teachers! I am so thankful for Gage and have cherished all of the special memories and commentary that he brings! He makes my heart skip a beat with joy every day!<br /><br />Eric continues to be the best husband and Daddy in this world! I really am a lucky gal and thank the Lord for him every day. I enjoy watching him interact with Gage. They love each other so much and their mannerisms are so alike it is scary! This past year, Eric was promoted to Defensive Coordinator for the Frisco Liberty <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Redhawks</span>. They had a GREAT season and went three rounds deep into the playoffs. It was such an exciting season! Our parents even got involved this year to cheer the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Redhawks</span> on along with many more fans. Although football season for a Coaches family is very exhausting, we look forward to it each year! We are hoping that the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Redhawks</span> can excel even further this year...it's right around the corner! Eric has a couple more weeks off for the summer and then it's back to the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">field house</span>!<br /><br />I am keeping very busy with work and motherhood! I left my previous employer of 4 years in February as Senior Wellness Coordinator for a new opportunity as Account Director for <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Viverae</span>, Inc., a health management company based out of Dallas. It is the best career decision I have made and I know that I have found my career "home." It has been such a breath of fresh air and is so nice to work for a company that truly practices what they preach and VALUE their employees. We are a group of professionals that work very hard, but we also have a lot of fun! I love that it is required of us to work out in our fitness center three days a week and to participate in 2-minute fitness drills throughout the day. This is just one of the many things that we do to take care of each other and our health. The sacrifice of working from home with my last employer and now driving into Dallas (1 hour commute) with <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Viverae</span> has been WELL worth it. Eric and I are hoping that we can move to Dallas in the very near future so that I can be closer to work. We found a great neighborhood that will put us exactly halfway to each of our work locations. Now we have to mentally prepare to put our house on the market and we aren't quite ready for that yet!<br /><br />We try to spend as much time as we can with our family and friends and have had some really great times over this past year. Unfortunately, we have experienced some challenges with Eric's parents who are in the middle of a divorce right now. They have been married for 38 years. It has been a really hard time for all of us. Eric's mom is living with us now so that has ALSO been quite an adjustment! We are taking it day by day and know that God wouldn't put anything before us that we can't overcome. Keep Eric and his family in your prayers as they go through this trying time.<br /><br />I'll work on some previous posts in the next couple of weeks so check back on a complete update. For now, I will leave you with this spectacular view from our vacation beach house! Aloha!<br /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489775940467100610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKqOLzlY0xEcl6vBpiSZtjvRaFVa9I8iRim8HLpFc3siPehIp8RT-eNy5_ScOkd8rFZryaj2_RyiPMkS30UUGog0JmjHPbq_rOxTwyQeYeGT0l8C103utr2h9mfZ2NbBsgBm11XAmtDFBw/s320/IPhone+Pics+135.jpg" />johnnamarie96http://www.blogger.com/profile/02538417447787311127noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6437736290422261961.post-6759337608229782982009-08-16T23:51:00.008-05:002010-01-03T01:55:58.289-06:00Big Birthday Weekend!Gage turned 2 years old on August 14th. We threw a big Birthday bash on Saturday to celebrate with our friends and family! Birthdays are special to us and we enjoy putting together a day of extreme fun for Gage and his friends (and for the adults!) This year we had a bounce house and a pinata. I think the kiddo's had a blast!<br /><br />We are so thankful for this handsome little fellow that has brought so much joy to our life. It's hard to imagine life before his arrival on earth! Thank you to our friends and family for celebrating this day with us and for your unconditional love and support over the years! Enjoy the pictures of our fun-filled day!<br /><br />We had a football themed party and gave out eye black to each kiddo that wanted to wear it!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ_Gi0RxashalP7uT4xfwc24Vp8fLCRsv-Qi1Ug6Fp3z6zBSlQjAYyzF8UdKMhLGArmozBYV2bcrJ16DMR8hBpZljuptC5fh8NXTb2vSJYUAPpfdOrTMLgXIr3gT_b700ix2kt5WB031Wl/s1600-h/IMG_3352.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422414977271497074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ_Gi0RxashalP7uT4xfwc24Vp8fLCRsv-Qi1Ug6Fp3z6zBSlQjAYyzF8UdKMhLGArmozBYV2bcrJ16DMR8hBpZljuptC5fh8NXTb2vSJYUAPpfdOrTMLgXIr3gT_b700ix2kt5WB031Wl/s320/IMG_3352.JPG" border="0" /></a>Even Grandma enjoyed the bounce house! <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422404255107790546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnwGiXcJ6VM7_bVDee5m0LgqoizM-HWWw3XoRr7R63pEQkqL_xd85yzkald9-VivxdO4BS0T-0kOZlOuFP5FRAdbb6wqltFrZGEnduMBVWCDQ43CszBXzMTr1Dij7ydwznBFTv4VRKyxxd/s320/IMG_3357.JPG" border="0" />Gage's lil' "girlfriend" - Ava! <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422404245216951266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNwRHq6Pl2-Zj_PiHxJ2gG-fI05faqzLItSMhjG19-nQxzhI-oMfUdI_oey4ahMlLHAubAuBGXXQz5VxZ7tUy0GR9GZYW2x3NBr-g80a-WGOQSn1EeJiBnilMZ3mtOl44qbz2b0cW2eIKU/s320/IMG_3354.JPG" border="0" />Gage and Miss Cassidy!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXus8OkANH2SGhvBHxZjIct-rTDTqQIXFQcUxPWEiZmtGucJVrHgaw78kpf-nuEgBXIBrfaC0NJr45kthyphenhyphenwnoe1Jx_I2c2AoUYpk5LJt1m17o-7qKpeAgqAi90lSDn1tGN_dmj5ZjngynG/s1600-h/IMG_3349.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422404238335353874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXus8OkANH2SGhvBHxZjIct-rTDTqQIXFQcUxPWEiZmtGucJVrHgaw78kpf-nuEgBXIBrfaC0NJr45kthyphenhyphenwnoe1Jx_I2c2AoUYpk5LJt1m17o-7qKpeAgqAi90lSDn1tGN_dmj5ZjngynG/s320/IMG_3349.JPG" border="0" /></a> Lining up for the pinata! <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422405261018123010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitgPRA218j4LfyfvJRNNIF0LFq8RabPLCMoesB_0caHra5fIK5ZQuaHqdu12NeVAJfcqTS-avM12AEiBDn7MDcQsm9J7FdF-5tlY6M-zkfOsjGbYab94Un3x2NQVX-vexMhaoWqh6U78WB/s320/IMG_3359.JPG" border="0" />He's not quite sure about this, but he had some nice "whacks!" <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422405272419034130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4duVWhOjTg7GpiL8xk8MkqoLnRsOW1TujLE1bz6R9XCNjbEA2BmZHz6hehn4zbNKJhGoF-UcZZlKEBpad1hY75zhI5s0VU-AetebzPouTfkEb10LPXzgUzunJWWipWPL23TK3u6zO-2tJ/s320/IMG_3361.JPG" border="0" />Mai - taking her swing! <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422411300070923090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTcBKJUUboL0fV4XC6gTyifHl3CRFsae3-Iz6f4JqFup2g9WPFbGg4l4XZveRQC8H5VTAqLcHyCHF9d3WxBitPv4t7CM4j-on5A2FQFLa_a_AhWiBJUuEuD2I7fjfD6nKxnG7oJkhtnnkM/s320/IMG_3368.JPG" border="0" />Michael - what a cutie! <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422411297870077522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcAkW-v2AAzErVxfk9T_ZAYGc3Yfci8NtQ7zY4dPgnvBzlIbNUEVJp3oeBNtIfd9RVJiL-sD8wf-pI6C-7xTQq7MP46zvrTCrawdtYeMFffdS7DYST5-HrcpTcjfgb0DPYpfQvtQjk3eHy/s320/IMG_3367.JPG" border="0" />And they swarmed like bee's!

It has been years since I have seen most of my family from Kansas and it was so great to see everyone. It's so much fun now that most of my cousins have their own children. We were so close growing up and it's just so crazy to me that we all have children now! It was fun to see our kiddo's interact with each other. It was a weekend filled with laughter, love, old stories, and some tasty Margarita's! My Aunt and Uncle know how to throw a party and we had a weekend full of fun events, including our own suite at the horse races. Thank you Aunt Audry and Uncle Bill for your hospitality. We had so much fun and love you so much!<br /><br /><div align="center">At the horse races!<br /></div><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367073617220311490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEek1TQCW74trFSKm6oBLeO101-roHOCLU8gSOTv2ydvLAVoRdgQ0IilqtlfaxxWjChyphenhyphenaiirQUkvnjN2DazjxJDx6WIAlYgsjhp5LHsZXElbowVSyCacV06oyA4tuK1kLIVniFC1jYpurE/s320/IMG_3099.JPG" border="0" /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367073610833203218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJwHb2_GGIhFlEx_h323s2AJ5tDE2Q6w-JIcefjlfAWeT0SXZZOU_mMjlfhgm6rTslqEvGPjbnD_2JU6sBMQMew2qSMhQWBnVP0FSb_oC0NyLIurv-9EJ_BqFaD0T6mTuDNjnVCW6tc14x/s320/IMG_3093.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387094673766958706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNTYXdFDDyk4yBuR3xkE14gt9hxzdQBI2yNbJ4T6wyIPptbgYUHsep-rtq0yRfQ4BLRHMiOFBOCJQqk_WYmaZnNCgKGGVGE_uEm1cBqRGdn-LrVupxUV3TcaujkhPC2eDXd_RVb45nfOBx/s320/IMG_3094.JPG" border="0" /></div><div align="center">Gage's Horse Race Dance!

Passion takes a backseat to production, wellness to working, and balance to busyness. The old adage that "life is not a dress rehearsal" is so true, and yet we act to the contrary by putting off what is truly important or indulging in things that are not.<br /><br /><div><div></div><div>I vow on my 30th Birthday (TODAY, April 28th!) to not focus so much on my age, but to meditate on my life at this exact moment.

It was so nice to have a 3-day weekend. It was much needed for me! Eric, unfortunately, had to work, so Gage and I spent Friday with some good friends from out of town. We met at good ole' Joe T. Garcia's in Fort Worth, then we headed to their Lake House in Granbury for some R&R, but stopped to enjoy the bluebonnet's first.<br /><div></div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328898239674858306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyLGX8b0YkxqAXgP9XnlA0vEhuIqEdLTJUdo4C3GqzGhmNyVlGb83R4nC5-OsUa2MI-fADljrdqE3oo06qbEpkHrGvefwAau2NQYO-4sXZEtXHztuaqKzkMUYn-18VVgiC5yTlE65XVNBt/s320/IMG_2953.JPG" border="0" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAqkItPBPn2JwLSxe7gl7p8V6w6GohziUhsCm6iIHuEDCJ5piTITDb78vtwr2a9NVDb9RFb8MdqzQ4Ac-3dXWfcxQLCJBokdoXQzEsx9Wh1COK9hPy-VtB1a5JX_7Olk9AukXZp-Qgb1De/s1600-h/IMG_2966.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328898255491720946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAqkItPBPn2JwLSxe7gl7p8V6w6GohziUhsCm6iIHuEDCJ5piTITDb78vtwr2a9NVDb9RFb8MdqzQ4Ac-3dXWfcxQLCJBokdoXQzEsx9Wh1COK9hPy-VtB1a5JX_7Olk9AukXZp-Qgb1De/s320/IMG_2966.JPG" border="0" /></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328898263971276050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBj-u1wr-YbHbx1wUoXr2Egy4pe8cSNo9CGfCAy07qgwXp_mlNh6BTB2c3whW2wGpfbNncRC1tYhDeHgc5a9HGKbpdd4MylYyC1IUkxMcJjoKvhNZhJeLXieNa6ukBhPS2rNmJ8qw_EdqM/s320/IMG_2970.JPG" border="0" />Saturday we joined the neighborhood for an Easter egg hunt and to meet the Easter bunny!

On Sunday, we went to Momo and Popo's house to eat some yummy enchiladas! Gage was so excited to see his cousin Max. He absolutely LOVES Max who is 6 years old. He copies EVERYTHING that Max does. He is Max's little shadow. It is so cute! I had fun playing with the boys and being silly. I am the SILLY Aunt!

I wanted to do something extra special for him since I do think that he is EXTRA SPECIAL and hey, you only turn 30 once, right?! I miraculously pulled off a surprise party for him on his actual Birthday and it was so much fun! I rented the "Chicken Coup" at the new Babe's in Frisco and gathered 48 of our closest friends and family for some dinner, drinks, and cake. Eric was shocked that he didn't have a clue! Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate! We love you all so much! Happy 30th Eric - your officially an "old man" now, married to a "young" woman.

We recently had "Family Day" at the Liberty Baseball Field. It's a chance for the baseball players and their families to get to know more about their Coaches and to meet the Coaches families. One of the player's mom's is a photographer and asked if she could take Gage on the field to take some pictures. Of course, I was thrilled! Take a look at my "little slugger!" He's so darn cute! And so is his Dad, of course! :)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlNDCSjrk6dc3njJndfBlZobMU4fKUJ3nWsvKPej7HiUNl-sYLFOCGEAhpwzOJJz5rshL7eO90BLF-w7XH_ONiNs4lz_6eEy9bjKyN1L-sBwnVEhFDXxMAbdmMWe9T8ldEyxQVwwG6JLf0/s1600-h/Gage14.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328781924360218722" style="DISPLAY: block;

My sister and I wanted to get some good pictures of the kiddo's together to give our parents a nice portrait for Christmas. The photo shoot was very humorous! It was almost impossible to get both Gage and Joely to smile and look at the camera at the same time! But, we were very pleased with the photos! Cynthia ( <a href="http://www.yourcandidmemories.blogspot.com/">www.yourcandidmemories.blogspot.com</a> ) came to our home and set up right in our living room. She brought some fun props for the kids to play with. She is absolutely amazing and so fun and patient with children. We are looking forward to another photography session in the Spring!

Wow! It doesn't seem that long ago that we were standing on the altar sharing our vows in front of our family and friends. January 3, 2004 will always go down as the best (and most fun) day of my life. It was the start of a new beginning with my very best friend. We continue to be the best of friends and always remember to put each other first. The past 5 years have brought us so much joy and adventure. Thank you honey for being my "rock" and for your unconditional love!</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJCK4568sKO4LYlMamdmsOSavI4KKgKMClFPJhoXgFNcRDHKcmppLEq_SlD8LipsNvgQ5EDcKSeUPlD3cAXQXtLgZzOTksRBxU_iwsBY0O6l74DGnl6z2mMps4toLnwTDhZ3MRi9FyeFy1/s1600-h/johnna+22.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300490668598289218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 210px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJCK4568sKO4LYlMamdmsOSavI4KKgKMClFPJhoXgFNcRDHKcmppLEq_SlD8LipsNvgQ5EDcKSeUPlD3cAXQXtLgZzOTksRBxU_iwsBY0O6l74DGnl6z2mMps4toLnwTDhZ3MRi9FyeFy1/s320/johnna+22.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicY-3P8aTNNEJ2WCULgdP3FVwFWMdErbaymVveUc46tETJ1KQI8QUQ9uHtkGSknu6DL1xiYBU0yxwVZhIgGLfYTqAJGY8og9RyIntH42VIoTghboSI8RvtmYSgCCgNhMsEgrKnfLSORpmA/s1600-h/johnna+20.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300490669320651874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicY-3P8aTNNEJ2WCULgdP3FVwFWMdErbaymVveUc46tETJ1KQI8QUQ9uHtkGSknu6DL1xiYBU0yxwVZhIgGLfYTqAJGY8og9RyIntH42VIoTghboSI8RvtmYSgCCgNhMsEgrKnfLSORpmA/s320/johnna+20.jpg" border="0" /></a>johnnamarie96http://www.blogger.com/profile/02538417447787311127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6437736290422261961.post-57667200949579077622009-01-03T16:39:00.015-06:002009-01-25T01:19:42.332-06:00December at a glance!<span style="font-size:85%;"></span>December came and went in the blink of an eye! I'm not sure if it was a blur for me because of my intense work load and long days in the office or if it was because we were booked with events every weekend. Probably both. I'm glad I survived it and I'm glad it's over!<br /><br />I use to LOVE the holidays, but as I get older they seem to become more stressful and hectic. The only thing I look forward to is spending time with my family, time off from work, and great holiday food. If it were up to me, I'd do away with the gift giving and be just as happy celebrating with family and friends with good food and conversation. I'll never forget what the Season is all about - the birth of our Savior - and for that I am thankful for the Season - but I think our commercialized world has taken the meaning of the holidays to a whole new level and I just don't like it!<br /><br />Each year we throw a "Tacky X-Mas Party" to celebrate the Season with our good friends and to raise money to help a family in need each Christmas. We held the 3rd Annual Tacky X-Mas Party and had a blast as usual. I was very proud of my tacky vest and skirt this year - compliments of the Goodwill. Thanks to all of our good friends for a fun time! I DO look forward to this party every year! This year, Clint and Trey won the "tackiest attire" contest with their matching Elf outfits. Absolutely hilarious!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295100132539221970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlhxTOHdOV4FiGmqaFmz0LTmnri7K_GQ8hRS4y9-MfPVgJRuTltM4lS_s8cJv_zQOH2Vhel-PhD0YvCXRYQykY52C-OYiBWzSeDVP0QdgLNQuByjtngLLJXQadCAPLD-IFOlYcODSRkTmu/s320/IMG_2845.JPG" border="0" /> Me, Julie, and Cassidy - my two closest friends.

It's a nice time to hear about our company's success and to mingle with coworkers that you don't see very often. These are the fabulous and intelligent ladies that I work with. I couldn't ask for a better team! <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295109676996653890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKwpqByhyhQL57LwV_YRo6n3gYCJmDT8GKtjo7vBdsIp_7jWJZp3VJM9UxiA74XD8nQlC5AlUUUNizp-w67ozZu18PnQ4g46v8fmzljUmbSA-i5-EVv7CoLi7HJZuNb2AhYHWw5gt2Wfkx/s320/Kansas+Family+Visit.jpg" border="0" />My cousins from Kansas came down to visit for a long weekend. We had a fun time with the kids. Colin is 2 months younger than Gage and they really enjoyed playing with each other. They also made a trip to the mall to see Santa. As you can see below - it didn't go so well for Gage. The "freak out" picture is priceless and I can't wait to show that one off when he is older! We had fun spiking up the boys' hair during tub time.

We planned the "look alike outfits" for Gage and his friend Myles, but it was impossible to get a picture of both of them looking at the camera. This is the best shot that I got.

He was so much fun and I just loved his reaction to his gifts.

In this picture I am snuggling with this sweet little girl at my parents house. Joely is probably around 3 months old in this picture. There is nothing better than holding a baby close and taking in the smell of such a sweet thing. I just love her! And I'm glad I could share a picture with you! </p><p>I tag: </p><p>1.
