Hard decisions...

Some choices are hard, and some are not so difficult. Here is one of many for Simon.
French fry or Cheerio? Cheerio or French fry?

Enough said....

Although watching him was almost as much fun as taking the pictures. Enjoy this short video of him eating this delicious golden fried potato, sent straight from heaven to be devoured for the first time! (Notice him touching and caressing it... he really was begging for more. :D)

Happy Anniversary!

This was our 7th Anniversary! First off, let me tell you that as I have been reflecting and looking at the last 7 years (10 years together), I have come to better understand that I am JUST beginning to learn what "love" is. I love Emile more each year! We have grown together, we have made a family, a life, and there are endless possibilities for our future. I'm just so glad that this journey is ours together.

And... I LOVE that for our Anniversary we did THIS.....

The Willamette Jet boats! They were SO fun!

I know Trenton doesn't look thrilled, but it's because we just got soaked.

And... a little too much fun for one little boy to handle.


Then, we had a REAL date! My absolute favorite. What a great dinner, a special night away, with my favorite person.

I made truffles

I did it. Although, they didn't quite turn out like I wanted.

I was making these little truffles to drop off at friends houses, but only a few turned out even half decent. So instead, I have been slowly eating them. I think slowly eating doesn't seem like.. really eating. See, if I sat down in one sitting and devoured (let's say) 5 of these truffles, I'd feel yucky. But since I eat one... wait awhile, then eat another, and then later... think about just one more. Then I forget that I'm eating them and continue going back until they are all gone.

I will send this formal apology for being modest about the poor chocolate dipping job, and promise that if I EVER make truffles again, I will share with others and not eat them all myself.
