I am married to the most wonderful man who has made all of my dreams come true. We had an adorable baby boy who has become our whole lives in May of 2008. Shortly after we bought our first house. Summer of 2009 we decided to add another addition to our family, our white lab puppy Aggie. Fall semester 2009 I started going back to school to finish my bachelors degree in Accounting. My husband is currently in the Army and I work for an oil company. We love spending time as a family and enjoy every second we are together. Some things I love are laughing, dancing, cuddling by the fire, cold weather, roasting marshmellows, cooking, baking, family, friends, holidays, eating, shopping, parades, Disney World, beaches, football games, baseball games, hockey games, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, Houston Astros, snow, Manhattan, snowboarding, rollercoasters, four wheelers, motorcycles, flying, airports, swimming, cherry limeades, root beer floats, tomatoes, mozzarella caprese, cookie dough ice cream, and the best for last, my savior, Jesus Christ. I am truly blessed and could not have asked for more.

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back EVERYTHING is different.
Four things you can't recover:
The stone........after the throw.
The word.........after it's said.
The occasion........after it's missed.
The time.........after it's gone.
WOMEN'S REVENGE
'Cash, check or charge?' I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase.
As she fumbled for her wallet , I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse.
'So, do you always carry your TV remote?' I asked.
'No,' she replied, 'but my husband refused to come shopping with me,
and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally..'
UNDERSTANDING WOMEN
(A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE)
I know I'm not going to understand women..
I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax,
pour it onto your most intimate part, rip the hair out by the root,
and still be afraid of a spider.
CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS
A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up & down the aisles.
The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him.
He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife.
She directs him down the correct aisle.
A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter.
She says, confused, 'Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife?
He answers, 'You see, it's like this, yesterday, I sent my wife to the store
to get me a carton of cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of tobacco
and some rolling papers; cause it's sooo-ooo--oo- ooo much cheaper.
So, I figure if I have to roll my own .......... so does she.
(I figure this guy is the one on the milk carton)
WIFE VS. HUSBAND
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and
neither of them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs,
the husband asked sarcastically, 'Relatives of yours?'
'Yep,' the wife replied, 'in-laws.'
WORDS
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day....
30,000 to a man's 15,000.
The wife replied, 'The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...
The husband then turned to his wife and said, 'What?'
CREATION
A man said to his wife one day, 'I don't know how you can be
so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.
'The wife responded, 'Allow me to explain.
God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;
God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!
The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home
and were giving each other the silent treatment.
Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him
at 5:0 0 AM for an early morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,'Please wake me at 5:00 AM.' He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him,when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.
The paper said, 'It is 5:00 AM. Wake up.'
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, When 24 hours in a day is not enough; remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee. A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and start to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded With an unanimous "yes." Then the professor produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. "The golf balls are the important things - God, family, children, health, friends, and favorite passions. Things that would still make your life full, if everything else was lost. "The pebbles are the things that matter like your job, house, and car. The sand is everything else, the small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. "The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you." "So, pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the dripping tap." "Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

4th Of July!!!
We had a fantastic Fourth except for one thing...Dalton chipped his front tooth:( Our good friends the Trevinos came over. Jace and Dalton just played and played and played and then they played some more :):) they went in the pool and did fireworks (which our neighbors were scaring them so we didn't get to finish ours but they still had fun doing our little ones)and played inside and watched go diego go and ate hotdogs together. It is so cute everytime I see them together it makes me so happy inside. Destiny said that Jace kept calling Dalton's name that night and the next two days:( They miss each other after they spend the day together and that is just precious:) I can just tell already that they are going to be little dare devils together. Jace opens the door handle and then dalton flings the door back and out they go. It is so nice that we have great friends like The Trevino Family because the whole family gets along and it's wonderful because we all always have a great time when we're together. They're those kind of friends that you're like wait a minute are you my sister/brother or just my friend:) They think like we do, have common interest and goals and are in like the exact same stage of life that we are. We're so lucky to have them!!! Lets see Dalton's favorite fireworks were the ones that you pull the string and it pops out and then the sparklers but he was chasing chantz to try to get them out of his hand because he wanted to hold them but we wouldn't let him. He liked the tanks and the fountains. He did not like firecrackers at all. In fact we had to go stay the night at my mom's house July 4th night because three people on our block had bought like those 250 firecracker packs were lighting them all at once and they were scaring Dalton. I made an american flag cake out of cool whip blueberries and strawberries and it was really yummy. It was just a wonderful weekend with the holiday and having the extra time off with each other:):)
haha yes I love our boys soo much. I love the smile Dalton gets when he sees Jace. They are hilarious to watch together! Now you HAVE to have a girl so they can be bfs too lol
