my love turns THIRTY TWO!!!

Dear Heath,
You have no idea how much you mean to me. You have become my world. You have my heart - all of it! I am so in love with you, for soooo many reasons! Here's my top 10:

10. you put your hand on my leg, in the car, while you're driving
09. you listen to music and sing along, while taking a shower

08. you always call me "gorgeous" when answering my calls or when you see me
07. you still open the car door for me and will lock the car door if I even attempt to open it myself
06. you allow me to be myself; blonde moments and all and you make it comfortable for me to laugh at myself
05. you are a good cook and follow recipes .... even when making Mac N Cheese
04. you will take the kids to run errands, without being asked, when you see I'm stressed or need a nap
03. you have THE most beautiful eyes and smile! They are so loving and genuine!
02. you are an amazingly patient Daddy to Logan, Addi and Kaiden.
01. you are my BEST friend!!! I don't have anyone else in the world who doesn't judge me and allows me to be 110% myself and loves me with all my faults, still thinking I'm the most amazing women ever - even when I don't deserve to the title!

I hope you have a very happy birthday!! I can't wait for a lifetime of more, to celebrate together!!

All my love,
J

THE most amazing man ... e-v-e-r!

This morning Heath read Addi's fave book, 'Freckleface Strawberry' to her class! He did SUCH an amazing job! I was sooo impressed and fell in love with him EVEN MORE (didn't think that was even possible).





Addi was BEYOND excited to have Heath reading to her class!!! She couldn't stop smiling!



After reading the book and answering some questions, Heath & Kaiden passed around badges to all the students. It was sooo cute to watch!

The last student to get "pinned" was sweet Addi!! She loves Heath soo much!

Babe - THANK YOU sooo much for what you did this morning for Ads! You have NO idea how much it means to me and Addi! You're such a great daddy to her. We are so lucky to have you and Kaiden in our lives!

valetine's day ... a lil late!

a sunday afternoon in tempe

This past Sunday, me and the kiddos went to Tempe to do our FAVE things: Mojo's on Mill and hike A Mountain at ASU! It was a VERY intertesting day! It was PetWalk day so there were THOUSANDS of people walking their dogs around Tempe Town Lake. We had to park a half mile away, just to get to Mill Ave. THEN, as we got closer to Mojo's, we saw some interesting characters ... it was comic club day and they were promoting their convention, in May.

They took a picture of Addi with this Star Wars guy and asked if they could put her picture in their magazine and on their website! She was sooo excited!!



While at Mojo's, Addi entered a contest to design the next Mojo wrap for their cups!

Then, our hike! These are all pictures taken with my phone ...

(I love this one)

Checkin' out the A

Logan made it to the middle of the A. He was so proud of himself. That concrete is slippery!

Made it to the top! It was soo windy!

Logan LOVES this old Mill. He insists that he is going to to re-open it when he gets older AND he said he would protest if the city ever considers tearing it down.

I love our Sunday afternoons together and taking our traditional Mojo's run and A Mountain Hike! Thanks for such a WONDERFUL afternoon, Logan & Addi!!

Love,

Mom

downtown photoshoot with my new lens

Heath bought me a new lens for Christmas so we (me, Heath, Logan, Addi and our neighbor Myles) went for a photoshoot in downtown Phoenix a few weeks ago.

Here are some of my faves!!
