Bucking Bulls

What can I say Sam is OBSESSED with being a cowboy! He wears his boots and hat and gloves every day. Never misses an opportunity to go to the feed store, or to the Hannah's ranch. He is always helping Sean take care of our ponies and the chickens. Saturday there was bull riding in town...so you can guess where Dad and Sam were. Right in the middle of things! Sam got to pet a bull in the chute and was told he could get on it if he wanted!!! Lucky the answer was no! They spent the afternoon having a blast helping and watching. He can't wait for the next time! I might have to go to keep them away from the chutes!
P.S. If you mute the music when you play the video below, you can hear Sam and Sean (they are on the fence right next to the chutes! Oh the kid was okay no broken bones)

quiet dinner

Sean and I have been trying to find time to spend together. Sometimes date night isn't a possibility because of minor setbacks, no sitter, no money, no time etc. You know the drill. We are trying to change that. So we put the kids to bed and had ourselves a romantic evening for two in our living room. We did fondue, which was wonderful and watched a movie. It was great! Was very nice to feel like a couple again and not just parents! Definately have to make this a habit!

7th Anniversary!

It's hard to believe it's been 7 years! It has been the hardest, most enjoyable, heartbreaking, joyful and truly the most blessed time of my life. I never knew my heart could hold this much love. Sean and I truly are best friends. It's not always easy...I don't think it's supposed to be, but I wouldn't trade a minute of our life. We struggle and grow more every day. I truly never thought I deserved anyone like him. He is so patient with me and those of you who know me know how much patience I require. We are blessed with beautiful, amazing children who keep us on our toes. I can't begin to list the blessings in my life. Today after a wonderful anniversary, he is top on my list! Eternity won't be long enough....
