A wonderful surprise

On the evening of our actual anniversary(we did our lil vacation a couple of days before), my mom and the girls planned something really special for us. It was a big "secret" and the girls couldn't wait to surprise us. My Mom decorated a beautiful cake, the girls made cards and there were even wedding mints and music playing from our reception years ago. It was so thoughtful and sweet. I'll never forget it! Thanks Mom for helping the girls to plan this. It meant a lot to us!

The beautiful cake

The table-our wedding colors were light green and silver which my mom tied in to the decor of the night.

We busted out some of our old stuff(I thought I'd be super cool and even wore my veil-lol.) Here we are drinking kool-aid from our wedding glasses. The kids got a kick out of this! And we did too.

Time to cut the cake!! I have to say we look a lot different cutting the cake ten years later. I wasn't knocked up back then. Sorry, but I couldn't resist typing that. lol

Even 10 years later I couldn't smash it in his face. I'm sweet like that:)

And he was sweet back.

The party planning committee-my 4 favorite ladies on this Earth!

The girls wanted to try on my tiara and be princesses. Presenting... Princess Aubrey.

Princess Ella

And little Princess Cali

After eating delicious cake and punch, we played our wedding video and danced the night away as a fam to all the fun songs from our reception. It was such a fun night reminiscing on our wedding day and remembering the fun we had. Thanks again Mom for coming up with this idea and everything you did for us. It was a memorable night!

She is also very creative and can be found crafting at the table on many afternoons. She is in the 7th grade and is a very hard worker. She is one of the most "on task" kids I've ever seen and never has to be reminded to do her homework. She is also an amazing reader. She is in her second year of piano and is doing great! She also loves ice skating and is taking figure skating lessons. Its definitely a natural talent.She recently did a competition and won first place. She also loves basketball and is a great speller like her big sis. UIL Champ baby!

Cali

Cali is our 9 year old silly girl who keeps us laughing. And also keeps us on our toes:) She is a feisty little second grader with a mind and will of her own. She also has quite the sense of humor and makes us laugh at the funny things she says every day. She loves to be outdoors, read books, and make cards and pictures for her family and friends. She is very giving and loving. She is also cuddly and asks for "snuggle time" daily:) She started tennis this past Spring and is loving it! I think we have finally found this girls "thing." Shes got one mean backhand! :) Her favorite thing in the world, however, is CANDY, oh, and ponies and fish.

Ammon

Ammon is our handsome smart sweet 6 year old little boy that we can't imagine life without. He is so very loved by us all. Now that he is five, he is really starting to show us just how darn smart he is. He is learning how to read at an incredible pace. He can count to 9000 already(he tells us this, but we make him stop at 100:)! He started preschool this year and just LOVES going! He wishes everyday was preschool. He has a heart of gold and is so loving. He is a Mama's boy that I can always count on to give me hugs when I need it most. His favorite thing to do is draw/write, read, play with action figures(star wars and avengers being his favorites), do puzzles, and play the wii/tablet when we let him:) He loves Skylanders!

Wesley

Wesley is our adorable energetic four year old son. He has the cutest dimple on his right cheek and the biggest smile. He is a ray of sunshine and makes us laugh at all of his funny antics. He is quite busy these days getting into everything he shouldn't be..sharpies included. Sometimes I'm just not sure I can keep up with him! He loves to climb on everything. And fall off of everything;) He is often seen with a bruise on his head! His favorite thing right now is cars. You can find him most days pushing a truck or car around the house as fast as his little legs will take him. He also adores being outside. We love this little guy so much!

Luke

Luke is our precious two year old little one who has blessed our lives immensely. He is always there to give a hug and a wet kiss. He is super cuddly. If you are sad, he will put his little arm around you and give you a sweet pat. He is silly and always makes us smile. He is learning little words like "mo" for more or "nana" for nightnight. He can say ball and uh-oh. Its so cute to hear him learn to talk! He has been an easy little guy too..never been a carseat hater and always takes good naps. And luckily is now sleeping through the night! We love our Lukey!
