Happy 10th Birthday Tyler






Why is it that our kids grow so fast. It seems only yesterday that I was paging Joe (we didn't have cell phones, only pagers) as he went to work on the Excalibur remodel.
But I love celebrating my kids birthdays. Tyler is such a wonderful young man. He has big ambitions to be a star/pro athlete. He wants to go to college so that he can take care of his aging parents. (haha)
Tyler is a hard worker, a straight A student, and a talented soccer player (wanting to try football next)
He has a growing testimony of the gospel, and I love to sit next to him at church and listen to him sing the hymns.
Tyler we love you bunches! Happy Birthday Ty-Guy!

Husband Tag


My sister tagged me forever ago, and I am finally getting around to doing it. I loved this tag, because it isn't all about me or what I like, but more importantly it is about what I LOVE! My hubby! So here goes:

1. How long did you date? Not long, we were engaged 10 days after our first official date! But we were engaged for a full year!

2. How long have you been married? 14 1/2 years

3. What does he do to surprise you? He does sooo much. He really is a true romantic. But flowers are his favorite (mine too) I get them at school, at home......

4. What is his best feature? His eyes (he has the longest eyelashes ever) I am so envious.

5. What is his best quality? He is caring, and always wants to see me happy

6. Does he have a nickname for you? Yep, some he has acquired from my childhood, but most of the time its honey-bunny, or shay-shay.

7. What is his favorite color? He's not real particular, blue-purple-red

8. What is his favorite animal? Probably our dog Marshmallow

9. What is his favorite food? Mexican-the hotter the better

10. What is his favorite sport? He's not really into sports, but an occasional football game makes him happy

11. When and where did you first kiss? In the bowling alley parking lot (on our first date)

12. What is your favorite thing to do as a couple? Just be together-we're completely content to just walk around target, go to dinner, nothing fancy

13. How many children do you have? 3

14. Does he have a hidden talent? I don't know if it is hidden, but he is so knowledgeable when it comes to the scriptures.

15. How old is he? 41`

16. Who said I love you first? NOt sure on that one

17. What is his favorite music? Just about anything, depends on the mood- country, rock, oldies...

18. Do you think he will read this? Nope, I don't think he looks at the blog unless I tell him to.


I am married to my best friend and I am so thankful for him. He truly is my "EC" I love him!
People I'm tagging: Shari, Jeny, Julie, Amy..and anyone else that wants to join in.
