She's Amazing!!!

This is a couple of days late but I I had to do it anyway, better late then never. Heather's 23rd birthday was Friday the 25th. I love Heather so much! She is one of my absolute best friends and I know I can come to her with anything. We have a blast together and it has been amazing to see her turn into such an awesome, strong women. Heather is one of the best Mom's I know and she is absolutely crazy about her son and husband.

Happy Birthday Snipster! I can't wait to see you next week, Red Robin here we come!

Golf, Shopping and Meydenbauer Park

Today was such a fun day! It started out with Terence getting up at 3:30am to go golfing with his Dad. He had a great game today and hit 100 (this was his first game where he played the game 100% by the rules, normally he cheats a little) not bad!

Since I knew he was going to be gone until 10 or 11 and also knew that he would be super tired when he got home I decided to go out for the morning. I ended up going shopping with my Mom, Heather, baby Brooks and my boys up in North Bend. All of the baby clothes stores were having amazing sales and I think between the three of us we probably bought out the entire place. I can safely say my kids are set for summer clothes! It was so fun to spend some time with my Mom and Heather. I was a little surreal today to be walking around Carters with my two boys and Heather with Brooks and realize that we are actually the grown ups now!

After shopping we headed back to my parents house where I met up with Terence. From there we headed over to our good friends Scott and Melissa's house. Scott had called earlier in the day and suggested that since it was such a nice day we take the boys to the beach to swim. I'm always game for an afternoon at the beach and was all over it. Turns out the beach Scott was talking about was Meydenbauer Beach. Some of my best memories of summers growing up involve swimming at that beach. Back 14 years or so ago we used to ride the bus from Redmond to Bellevue and then walk from the transit center to the beach. We would swim all day and then walk back to my Mom's office and she would take us home when she got off work.It was so fun to see my boys swimming at the same place! Connor is a water baby and absolutely loved it! I was amazed how brave he was, he walked right in and loved jumping over the waves. Corey was content to stand on the beach and throw mud. It brought back some great memories and I am sure we will take the kids there again soon.

Why the Long Face?

Tomorrow is Terence's 27th birthday! It's a little crazy to think that Terence was 17 years old when we started dating, needless to say we are getting old! For those of you who do not understand the title of this blog I will explain. When Terence and I started dating he was a little thinner then he is now. Terence is really tall and when he was really skinny it accentuated his face. My cousins noticed this and started calling him Terence "long face" Keenan and the name stuck. I would go into a long blog about how much I love Terence and how lucky I am to have him but...I just did that for our anniversary. So I will leave it at this, Happy Birthday Terence!!!! I love you so much!

Terence at about 6 months old, he had a long face then too!

In scouts, Terence made it to Life Scout before he quit (two badges short of his eagle)

Pitching in little league. Terence played for the Rockies, Pirates and Red Sox

Terence is my best friend!

He loves anything that has to do with the outdoors, including shooting his gun.

Terence is a caring father who loves our kids and would do anything for them.

Seafair Torchlight Run

You know you want to! It would be fun!

Happy Anniversary!

Today is Terence's and my five year wedding anniversary. I cannot believe that it has been five years already! Terence is such a wonderful person and I am so lucky to have him. He is an amazing father, amazing husband and seriously one of the funniest people I know. He is always supportive of me and what I want to do and if I have learned one thing in the past five years it's that no matter what life throws our way we can get through it together. Terence also honors his priesthood and is a wonderful example to our children. I am excited to see what the next five, ten and fifteen years have to bring. Happy Anniversary Terence! I love you!

Some fun pictures from the last five years...

Mother's Day

I know I am 1000 years behind on blogging but I have some time tonight so I figured I would do some catching up. Mother's Day this year was so much fun. Terence tried to let me sleep in but I could hear Corey at the bottom of the stairs saying Mama over and over again so I just got up and came down. Terence made Pancakes form me which were really good. Then we went to church and after church we went over to Jared and Emily's house for burritos and hanging out with the family. It was a great day!

Is Sultan Redneck???

So there has always been the question as to Sultan being a redneck town or not. That is still up for debate but maybe the following video will bring some clarity to this life-long question. This is also not a first time occurrence. These feathered friends of ours walked through our front yard the other day. So could Jeff Foxworthy now add to his routine; you might be a redneck if you have peacocks strolling through your yard.
