Not a day goes by that I don't thank the Lord for the most selfless and kind man that I am blessed to call my husband!

We love you SO much!

I love that you are a goofball, the Lord picked just the right man for me :)

Happy Birthday!

This past Saturday night we went to an alumni dinner for all the graduates from The Master's College in the Dallas/FortWorth area. The dinner was supposed to be a little more formal so, for the first time ever, we decided to hire a babysitter for the night so Carl and I could enjoy the evening together.

The dinner was held in downtown Dallas, in a tall skyscaper called the Reunion Tower. The dinner was catered by Wolfgang Puck and it was truly delicious! We really had a wonderful evening with friends, as well as hearing from the alumni director and the college's provost. We even got to see a short video giving highlights from the last year at the college. It was so fun to watch and took us back to our days at the college... such good times where we grew so much in our faith and developed lifelong friendships! We both agreed how God blessed us so much in allowing us to spend those years at Master's. Our lives are forever changed because of them!

Dallas skyline. I couldn't get a good picture with my camera, instead I got one off the internet so you can see how pretty the tower is at night!

Picture of us! The room actually revolves, but for some reason it wasn't that night.

I'm sure by now you have noticed that Aiden definitely has some crazy smiles. The funny thing is that whenever I try to take pictures of him and ask him to "smile" or say "cheese", he never gives his real smile, rather he gives me some kind of scrunching up of his face and showing me his teeth. I guess this is what he thinks makes a good smile. It makes me laugh everytime!

Here is a short video of what he usually does when he sees me getting ready to take a picture, followed by some silly pictures of our "smiley" Aiden.

mmm, I could eat him up!!

We stayed here for Labor weekend, even though we tossed around the idea of getting away for our anniversary. Maybe next year we can plan something special for our 5th anniversary.

We still enjoyed the long weekend and did some fun things!

On Saturday night we went to Saltgrass Steakhouse to celebrate our anniversary. They have very yummy food!

Very yummy indeed!

Aiden enjoyed some cranberry juice!

Apparently his dinosaur needed some too!

I thought they looked so cute together :)

We stopped by Home Depot and Aiden decided he wanted to keep his sunglasses on while he rode around in style!

On labor day we headed to our local waterpark.

This was the first time that we had been this year and it was so fun because Aiden was able to do so much more!

He especially loved spraying mommy who was just happy to sit on the side and let the boys play!

Last night we stopped in at CVS to get a couple things and we happened to walk past the summer clearance section. Everything was 90% and they still had tons of stuff. We all had a great time choosing some fun things that we can use for the rest of this summer and then save other things for next year.

If you have a CVS near you, and you are in need of a few new toys or even some gifts to give a way, I'm sure you could snag a few great deals.

We spent $10 on all of these toys and saved $100. Have I mentioned how much I love CVS :)

The town of Denton that is. A couple weekends ago we decided to have a fun night out as a family. We had a wonderful evening without spending much money and we just adore the small town that we live in!

First stop was Chuck E Cheese to use up some tokens we had left over!

A fun time was had by all...

... but I'm not sure who is the bigger kid :)

Then we headed over to the town square.

Aiden loves the old courthouse and wanted to go in.

Then we stopped in at the recycled bookstore to find a book Carl had been looking for. Aiden liked this big hand!

The last stop of the night was to get ice cream from Beth Marie's :)

This picture cracks me up... "please stop taking pictures so I can eat my ice cream" :)

Lastly a quick picture of my hubby and me :)
