Gary's Surprise Party!

Mommy and Daddy at Daddy's surprise party! He was so surprised! Such a fun memorable night to remember! Makenzie saw the pic this AM and said "Mommy that is where you got my balloon! THANKS!"

Happy Father's Day!

We have had a really busy weekend but I just couldn't let today go by without wishing everyone a Happy Father's Day! Especially The Dads/Daddys in my life! I will 1st start with my Daddy-because well, he is my Dad! Dad- I love you so much and am inspired by you (just started my shadow boxing Mr. Blackbelt!) 2nd of course my hubby- G, our kids are so blessed...SO BLESSED by YOU!! And lastly my brothers-Dave and Doug- you both are such AMAZING Dads! Can't wait for us all to be together again! 2 weeks! Yippie! :)

I am surrounded by GREAT Dads!!

Hope everyone had a great Father's Day weekend!
Love,
Dani :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GARY! :)

Happy Birthday to the man who makes my world go round! Ok, so I won't get too gushy on my blog...I'll save that for his card! But we all know I'm a gusher and very cheesy especially when it comes to Gary!


Gary, you rock! That pretty much sums it up! You are such an amazing man and I am so blessed to be your wife! Thank you Lord! You are the best Daddy in the world and our kids are evidence of just how amazing you are! You always put others 1st, especially our family! And I am so grateful for that!

Like I always say and will continue to say until the English vocabulary expands...words do not express how much I love and appreciate you!

Love you Chumby!
Dani :)

some fun pics from Makenzie's Birthday weekend!

Last night Gary and I went out on a date! We had a great time! Thanks to our AMAZING babysitter Erica! Seriously, we love her! Mak has really taken to her and they have a blast together! We are so thankful! We were talking at dinner about how precious this stage is with the kids...I know the baby/toddler age is tough in it's own rights but we aren't dealing with crazy emotions or anything like that yet...our problems are really very simple. And for that we are grateful! We are trying to figure out when Maki should start kindergarten...Do you think 6 1/2 is a little old to start? Gary suggested 10! LOL! Would love input on this!! Email me!
Love, love, loving getting out on date nights! Erica, you are such a BLESSING! :)

**thanks for your prayers and encouragement! I am feeling much better! Vanessa, 6 times?! Wow you are a much stronger woman than I...I have hit my wall at 3! playing in a creek...she looks 10 years old to me here! STOP GROWING Maki!

some lovin' on the grass!

so precious!
