Today is our 15 year Anniversary. I feel like the Shania Twain song....Looks like we made it...look how far we've come my baby! I can't believe it's been 15 years. I feel like I have blinked and my life is a whirlwind. The last five years are the ones that have really zoomed by! Life with my honey seems to get better each day!
(Stole from Katie's blog on her anniversary.)
15 things I love about my hubby!
1. He loves me...and some times that has to be really hard. I am a bit bossy! (Adrian no comments please )
2. He loves his family.
3. He's passoniate about whatever he is doing. He does it with all his heart.. now this could be four wheeling-remote control cars, ufc,FHE, working out, scouting, Whatever he is doing he does it with all he has!
4. He is Blake and Andrew's scout leader and takes them camping to do the BOY stuff!
5. He lets the girls fix him up. He loves it when they get all dressed up with make up and dolls and dance around the house.
6. He doesn't quit something when he starts..once he makes up his mind he really tries hard.
7. He is a HARD worker. He works two jobs. I love a hard worker.
8. He is not concerned with my clothes or hair...just whatever I like he's fine with!
9. He is fun to hang out with.
10. He's happy to eat where ever I choose!
11. He watches sappy love story movies with me...although I know he would rather have an action packed.
12. Some times he gives me yellow roses for the kids birthdays because he says It's because of me that they are here.
13. He would love to have 8 more kids.
14. He's always protective over me and the children. He cares where we are and what we are doing.
15. He likes to hear me sing Karoke!!! He loves it when my Dad sings with the guitar.... And lately he's been singing Karoke too! WOW big step for ole Stevie boy.
I love you Steve!

Five Years! On this anniversary we were still in college with two little boys. We lived in a small 800 Sq. Foot house that was so cold and old (but I really liked it-Steve hated it) It cost $250 a month!!! Both of our cars broke down. We had to borrow nana and Papa's car to get to work and school!

Congratulations! Thanks for sharing all those pictures! After seeing them and knowing you guys, two quotes come to mind: "All because two people fell in love." and "Grow old with me...the best is yet to be!" I love that last picture especially. Happy Anniversary!!!

Cynthia,
I think we shared those overalls until we had molly and Caroline...OH Gosh. I know and I thought they were so so cute and comfortable. Oh my gosh. They made me look huge. Well I was huge!
That was so much fun! I loooooooved all the pictures--the good, the bad, AND the ugly! :)
LOL, what great pics! Happy Anniversary. Spencer was looking at the blog with me. He said you were either pregnant or had a baby. Basically. LOL, You had 4 kids pretty quick. Then he read Cynthia's comments and he said, She has a lot of kids and you were sharing those clothes? He is so weird! I can't believe how young guys looked! Many happy years to come! We miss you all.
How fun to look back! I love it!!! Happy Anniversary, you all have a beautiful family!!!

Happy Anniversary! I loved all of the pictures! Hope you had a good one! See you soon.
Oh, my goodness we LOVED looking at these pictures!! The next time we all get together bring EVERY single pic of your family there is - Dustin and I just stared and stared and stared. Firstly, you guys, seriously, are 12. Especially those early years. We kept saying how YOUNG...and look how OLD I am to have the young'ns as close together as you did back then!
Secondly, uh....Leah Beth = Finley.
Thirdly, why is my precious Caroline blue? You never did answer that in the comments above.
Fourthly - Happy Anniversary to you and Steve. You guys are just so danged fabulous and you so enjoy life and each other and your wonderful children, we hope to be like you someday.
Except that we are OLD and you are TWELVE and we can't learn new tricks now anyhow.
Katie, You always crack me up. Def. fin and LB look so much the same. I love it!
I don't know about me looking 12 any more. I think I am catching up on the age thing. 34!!! I think I like my 30's better than my 20's though!
As for Caroline being blue. She had the cord wrapped around her little neck a couple of times. Nothing too tramamtic but she was so blue for a couple of days.
This is such a cute post! Love it!! I found you through Chrys..Great recipes have a wonderful week!
Oh Gretchen! THose are the most adorable pictures! I can't imagine--15 years. We think we are amazing at 6! You guys were so darn cute and you are even cuter now. You both age SO WELL!
