This is Matthew James, aka Chewy. He is turning 10 in a few weeks! He is my youngest! How is he almost 10?! He is smart, kind, and loves to fight with his brother, Elijah! He loves sweat pants, hates jeans, loves jokes about cows (for some reason)! Anyway...He has been saying for the last year that he, and his family someday, are going to live with Jeremy and I to help with all the farm chores. Cute! So cute and sweet! Than this happened... Last night we were all hanging out, watching tv. Than that cute little face said, "Can I live here after I am grown up?" I say "Sure Chew that's sweet". Than Chewy says "Cuz I can take care of you old folks!" looking at Jeremy and me!!!! What???? I am 36! I am not an "old folk" Chewy James!!! What 10 year old says "folk"??!! Too funny! :) He is one of a kind! :)

Date Night

  Jeremy and I have been married for 16 1/2 years. We rarely go on dates, because of the kids having things going on, we don't have the money... All the normal, everyday stuff that gets in the way. But when we do... they are EPIC!!!! Let me tell you about our exciting date night! Brace yourselves...

We were just going to go out for dinner. But we decided since we were all ready out, to do a few errands. (this is where it always goes off course) I needed to go to the fabric store, to get a gift for my cute little niece Ruby. She loves to craft when she is here! So I wanted to get her something crafty. Than we were off to Menards for a chainsaw blade, and oil. I also bought laundry detergent. After that Walmart! I know... its getting super romantic at this point! We bought new pillows for the whole family

 

 

 

 

and Wonder Woman pajamas for Anna.

 

Got gas for the mini van. Decided just to come home, because the hockey game was going to start. I made pizza sandwiches, and cheese dip to eat while we watched the game. Did dishes, laundry, cleaned the house a little.

 

 


Than this happened.

 

 

Not really a date night, but I spent it with all the people I love the most! We had fun, laughed, screamed at the TV while watching the game, I saw Anna become Wonder Woman! Pretty good! Its so nice to be married to your best friend, that even in the most normal everyday things of life, you can have fun! I am a pretty lucky girl!
