Happy Anniversary!

Something in your eyes, makes me wanna lose myself
Makes me wanna lose myself, in your arms
There's something in your voice, makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life

If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've been so alone
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done

Well, if you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
And if you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought that I'd love anyone so much

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way the back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

This was our last dance song at our wedding- obviously I choose it, not Brent :)

Brent, I can still listen to this song and remember that same giddy feelling I had that night that I was yours "Forever Always". I look back over these 5 years and realize what a wonderful choice I made that day- to go through life with you is a priveledge, a challenge, and a blessing. Now, five years later, I can speak to the fact that God designed our marriage for you an me... our goals for our future, our finances, our political views, our hopes for our children all line up and I just have to believe He had me wait for you- YOU! It is neat to see all of these things unfold over five years of marriage and I just have to think that the next five will knock our socks off. I love you Brent Brewer and I am proud to be your wife.

A Mid-Week Pick-Me-Up!

Uncle Chris and Aunt Christy came up for some mid-week fun with Luke! He had a ball at the playground:

And feeding the ducks:

They played so hard he even cuddled with Aunt Christy!

Gam-ma (Deb swears Luke said it at Easter with Dwight as her witness!) came up also to give us a night out while she watched Luke... we had dinner and played cards. I can't remember why the sunglasses were so funny, but we had a good laugh taking these pictures!

We bought Luke a whistle to leard how to blow... hopefully this will help with blowing his nose :) He loved it-- have we created a monster???

Family Pictures

29 and holding!

Fajitas with my buds! This was a combination Texas Independence party/ B-day get together...

Leah's sopapilla cheesecake... yum!

My girls at work got me a cookie cake!

Brent got me a cookie cake too!!! I think I will look back at 29 and see I gained 5# if we keep up this pace!

Going to Skoo

Luke's new routine in the morning is to give Allie a treat and say by-bye- He crouches down to eye level with her kennel and waves at her... I wonder what she thinks?!! Brent hands him his bag, Luke opens the door, and they walk out to the car... Luke blows me kisses as I back out of the garage. This is one of my favorite parts of our day! My baby is getting big!

Horsey Switcheroo- Complete!

Luke carried around 2 Horseys the day after he rejected New Horsey... two are better than one, right?!!! That was a mess! Then, I hid Old Horsey under a dish towel and Luke accepted New Horsey as his BFF! Mission complete!

Horsey Drama

Pops and Granna got Luke a new Horsey for Easter... sort of a replacement, sort of a back up that if we ever tragically lost original Horsey, life could go on.

Here are the Horseies:

Same thing right?

Apparently Luke's finer palate would disagree. We tried to pull a switcheroo last night after bath time and Luke looked at the tag and kind of tossed New Horsey to the side. We went on with bedtime sequence as usual acting inconspicuous. I put Luke in the crib and closed the door after our prayer, as always.

5 minutes pass and I hear my child screaming hysterically like there is a stranger in his bed or something... I went back in and he stood up and hugged me (VERY unlike Luke) and looked down at New Horsey on the furthest end of the crib in disgust. We went to the laundry room to get dirty, Old Horsey and he immediately rolled over and went to bed. My plan is to wash them both and have him sleep with both-- Old Horsey really needs to retire-- he smells like a farm, even when I wash him. I'll keep you posted :)

Happy Easter 2010!

We had a great weekend with Brent's parents and sister, Jamie. Here are the highlights!
Easter basket- Great Aunt Holly sent bunny ears... isn't he a cutie! No basket would be complete without some kind of bubbles in there!

Grandma and Granddaddy gave Luke an Easter basket with camo eggs, and super hero goodies. Grandma filled an egg with change for Luke's piggy bank... he loved shaking it:

And dumping the change, then re-filling the egg

Luke colored- this was Sat. night before church-- he got a heavy duty scrubbing after this mess!

The guys smoked a brisket:

Easter Sunday was a memorable one. The sermon was just wonderful- anyone who sat in that service are "without excuse" as to where they will spend eternity. It was a beautiful celebration for us as Christians to remember and reflect on the Resurrection of Jesus Christ- for without that, Jesus would have been a great teacher- but because he fulfilled Old Testament scripture down to the last detail in John 19, John 20 shows Christ's Lordship over his followers. Thank You Jesus for being tempted in every way that I am, but for being sinless so that You could save this undeserving sinner. Thank You for following through on Your promise and thank You for everlasting Life!

Here are a few of my favorite Easter pictures.

Luke not loving his tie at first.
