Happy Anniversary - 9 years!

The Mr. and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary on 8/8. Time flies - it's hard to believe it's already been 9 years married and 13 together.

With 6 kids it's not always easy to get some time just the two of us. But we were lucky enough to get TWO date nights, yes TWO, in one week.

Here's our annual - married another year - photo. Snapped by the oldest gal.

Happy 9 years to us!

First Day of School {2013-2014 school year}

It's that time of the year again. The fun of summer has passed us by. Gone are the days of sleeping in. The late night swims. The hot afternoon trips to 7-11.

Now our home is filled with shiny shoes. New backpacks. School forms to fill out. Folders and pointy crayons.

This year is a big year. M is a FRESHMAN in high school, D is in the 3rd grade, A is in 1st and Miss H will be starting preschool. And because I like to make things complicated, all of them are at different schools. Yep, that's 4 schools.

It's going to be a busy year and we are ready! Here are the girls on the first day of school.

 Let's do this 2013-14!
