ok back it up

Mom and dad celebrated their 75th...I mean their 40th wedding anniversary. They had peace and quiet for about 11 months right after they were married, and haven't been alone since! We know they would be way too bored without us or one of the grandchildren around. ;D

See what I mean? :)
They did get away ALONE for a couple days

to see him.....er.....I mean THEM play

YA MOM!
You guys are AWESOME! You are VERY loved by all of your kids and grand kids, and we are SO LUCKY to have you guys!!

First Things First

Here is some footage of Gavyn on his new bike. So funny!

Just a little warning

.....unless you are my family you are probably going to find my posts boring. Chase and Melissa moved across the ocean so I'm going to try and keep them updated through our blog. We don't want them to miss anything ;) If you never visit it again my feelings won't be hurt.

Happy Birthday Ian!

So, I can brag on Ian a little bit today because it's his birthday!! (well technically tomorrow, the 14th) Ian is awesome! I'm so glad that he is mine! Sorry ladies, but I really got the best.
He has worked AND gone to school ever since we've been married. You are probably thinking, "shouldn't he be done with school by now, then?" Yes. He is. And he keeps going back. Don't be surprised if he makes you call him Dr. Stratton someday. hahaha.
Ian is my motivator. He makes life fun, exciting, and interesting! I am so lucky to be able to laugh and have so much fun with my husband. There seriously is no one I would rather spend eternity with!

You're the best babe! Happy Birthday!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I feel like I haven't stopped since Thanksgiving, which was great by the way. I honestly can't believe it's already December 9th! wow. I'll update this thing someday, but just wanted to say Merry Christmas!
In the meantime enjoy this vid....Love it!

E.T. Highway Marathon

So... This took place a couple of months ago and the only reason I haven't posted anything about it is because these two ladies didn't want anyone to see their picture.....WHATEVER! Sorry ladies! I think your awesome and beautiful! BUT I especially think that guy with you is smokin hot! THEY DID A 10K AT MIDNIGHT ON ET HIGHWAY! They did awesome! It was Ian's first one and he seriously did really good. I cheered them on from the truck...asleep. oops. You guys are my hero's :D

I love my husband and he loves me!
