June 27, 1998...has it really been 10 years?

It is amazing how time flies....it just seems like yesterday we were planning our wedding.. then it was our wedding. It was so beautiful that day, I was scared it would rain but there was not a cloud in sight. It was pretty casual ,good food and people enjoying my parents beautiful yard.

We had a lot of fun, Friday was our 10 year anniversary and we spent the afternoon shopping, Jake was such a good sport I wanted a pedicure and he joined me! We went to dinner and then saw a movie. He always spoils me rotten and I was so excited he took all of our negative from our wedding pictures and is having them put on Cd. (These are scanned my me so they don't look so great.) We were always going to go back to Cancun for our 10 year but we are going to Disney World in the Fall with our kids. I think it will be fun to enjoy a vacation with the kids!

I would not change anything about the last 10 years and I can't wait for what the next 10 years will bring. I love to look back at where we started and where we are now. I thought I loved you a lot on the day we got married but each day I find something about you to love you even more. And my oh my d0 we make cute babies! I love you Jake I can't wait to see where we will be in 10 more years!

Strawberry Days!!!

Strawberry Days at the Montgomery's is treated as a national holiday! My mom can find anything with a strawberry on it, the kids love to see what she has found for this years party. It has been a long family tradition that we all watch the parade by her house and BBQ after, and of course a Strawberry days outfit!!

Rodeo fun!

Hey mom look I am at the carnie!

Huck Finn fun!

Kate waving to the princesses

We had a fun week and by Saturday night my kids were beat. My brothers kids spent a couple days with us and I think I wore them out too!! Max said he loved Mutton bustin, watching motor cross at the rodeo, the carnival and swimming at the pools with his cousins. Kate loved the pretty princesses in the parade she waved at everyone and the carnival she is my little dare devil and loved every ride she went on!

Just goofing off in photoshop and I thought this one turned out cute, just a little vintage look to it.

Cowboy Max

Friday night Max was one of the Mutton busters at the Strawberry Days Rodeo! His score was 80 and he was second place. They let him pick his sheep, he wanted a mean black one but the black one was not big enough for him( he thought). So he picked the big white shaggy one. He said it was spitting. Max was pretty stoked a real cowboy(one of the bare -back riders getting ready for the rodeo) gave him a pat on the back and said good lucky buddy as they were putting him on the sheep! I think I would have cried after that spill but no tears from Max! He says he wants to do it again next year, maybe third time will be the charm to win! Good Job buckaroo!

Happy Fathers Day!!

Katelyn and her Daadeee 2008

Happy Fathers Day Jake!! I am quite bias but he is the best dad I know!! He is a kid at heart, would give a complete stranger the shirt off his back and is such a hard worker. I love that he is always teaching them something, like how it works or where it comes from. I am so blessed he is such a great example to my children.

Max always says he is the luckiest that Jake is his dad. He always plays with him whether it is the Wii, army guys or Lego's and he has the coolest job he plays games all day:) Max has had a hard time that Jake has been so busy with school and work lately he will be glad when school is done this week. They are best buddies and Max is a mini me of Jake. Jake's pictures of when he was young look just like Max.

Kate feels the same way, if she could talk better she would tell you so. The back door opens at night and she yells daddy daddy daddy! He is always there to babysit her babies for her and treats her as his little princess. Both of them love to lay on Jake's back when he is down on the floor reading or doing homework. Max use to fall asleep there at nights. WE ARE SO LUCKY TO CALL HIM OUR DADDY! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!
