7 Years...

7 years ago today, I met Marcus for the very first time. I was a waitress at the Olive Garden at Fashion Place in Murray Utah. He came in with his friend. When I got off my shift, he was waiting outside! Stalker! Hahaa! Anyways, the rest is history. Here we are 7 years later. I can honestly say I'm married to my best friend. He makes me smile, he makes me laugh, he makes me feel safe. I can't wait for him to come home from work everyday. And not just because I need help with the boys! Okay, maybe just a little bit. He would do anything for me. Even drive 37 hours straight from Utah to Maine, even leave work to come clean up dog vomit of my pillow, and even get up out of a dead sleep to get me a glass of water. I love my sa-weetie!
I had a great day today!! My sister Kristin gave me an amazing pedicure! She even did it on her day off. She's the best! Then we all headed up to Poland with Dan and the girls and went out on the boat and enjoyed the beautiful view!

Ahhhhh, I'm loving this!

Don't they look great?

Froebe's Farewell Luau

Our great friends, Shane and Julie Froebe, are moving back to Utah. We had a farewell Luau (what can I say, I love Luau's!) for them. A bunch of people from the ward came to wish them well. Their 2 children, Kayla & Kaden are already in Utah waiting for them. We are going to miss them so much!

Spash Town

What a perfect day for Splash Town! Too bad Jordan and Tanner didn't think so. Both of the boys refused to go into the water. It was so hot. Marcus met us there after work and took Tanner down a water slide and he screamed the whole way down. Jordan complained the whole day saying he wanted to go home. At least Caleb, Alicia, Sam, and Shelby had fun!

The newest Simagna!

Marcus' oldest brother, Keith, and his wife Cherilyn just added another girl to their family! They are so lucky! They now have two absolutely beautiful girls! Brittney is almost 3. Carissa Kaitlyn Simagna was born July 10th at 12:09 pm. She weighs 7 lb 14 oz and 21 inches tall.
Sweet little Carissa

The Simagna Family

Congratulations to Keith, Cherilyn and Brittney! Hopefully we can come out to Missouri and visit soon!

Harry Potter

A few moms from my ward and I took our boys to the midnight showing of Harry Potter last night, errr, early this morning. I've read the first 3 books and tried to read the 4th and 5th but couldn't get into them. I was a little lost during the movie at times but still enjoyed it. The movie didn't start until around 12:30 so we didn't get home until almost 3:00a.m. Needless to say, I'm exhausted this morning! I can't wait until Caleb wakes up so I can have him watch the boys and go back to bed *yawn*.

Thomas, Jake, Caleb and Andrew didn't want to sit with the moms of course.

Suzie, Heather, Valerie, and Me

Oh, and I was wrong....Moaning Myrtle and Bellatrix Lestrange are not the same actress. :-)

Will this really work?
