I have to share another Jimmyism!
He has a friend here for a sleep over tonight. They were sitting at the table eating their dessert and I was down stairs playing with the dog. This was the conversation........
Jimmy: Have you seen any good movies this summer?
Kyle: Yes I saw Pirates 3.
Jimmy: Yeah, me too! Have you heard of any other good ones coming out?
Kyle: No but my mom wants to see a move called Hairspray. Do you know what that is?
Jimmy: It sound like a move where all of the people have good hair.
Kyle: Yeah, I think so and they sing about a fat girl and her mom that's really a guy. That's what it looked like when my mom watched the guy on E!
Jimmy: Really? Thanks for telling me, I'll never see that one.
Kyle: Yeah, wanna go play football again.
Jimmy: yup!
You don't know how hard it was not to laugh at those two. They think that because they are in a different room I can't hear them. I love it!!

I can't think of a proper title, so this is what you get!
We don't have too many new things going on here. It still feels like baseball is our whole lives. I am out there 4 nights a week. Then our weekends are filled up with being chauffeur for the boys or having our house full of kids. I don't really mind. I know that this too shall pass. Then I will be complaining that no one needs me and where has the time gone. I am truly trying to enjoy every minute of this with the boys. It sure does wear me out though.
So, we had a very nice Father's Day. We went to Phil's parents house and swam all day with the family. Then we had a pot luck cookout. The boys had a blast with their cousins and it was nice for us to catch up with his sister Peg and brothers Steve and Matt. Mike and his family along with Kate and her family could not make it and were missed. We don't get to see each other as often anymore so it was a nice relaxing day. In fact we were there so late that we ended up just crashing there for the night. Good thing they have plenty of room for the four of us and Belle! I hope that all of you other father's out there had a nice day too.

10 YEARS!!!
Yesterday Phil and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. Celebrate is an awfully big word to put on what we did actually. Life does go on. He had to work, the boys had baseball, ect., ect. I actually got to see him for the first time at 8:45 last night. Oh, and he had to work again today so we were in bed asleep by 10:00. Are we party animals or what? We are going to spend all day Saturday with just the four of us though and then we are going out alone Saturday night. So that will be our real celebration
WARNING: HERE COMES THE SAPPY PART!
I am so glad to have spent the last 10 years married to Phil. I truly love him with every part of my being and not everyone can say that. He has been a wonderful husband to me and an awesome father to Joe and Jimmy. That's not to say that it has been all wine and roses. We have had our tough times, our hills and valleys, and we will have more to come I am sure. But I am proud to say that we have worked through all the tough times together with love and confidence that both of us are here for the long haul.
So in honor of our 10 years here are 10 things I still love about Phil.
10. He can still make me laugh or smile. Even when I am really pissed off at him he has the abiltity to make me smile or giggle.
9. He is so giving. He rarely thinks of himself first it is always about the boys and me.
8. His beautiful blue eyes. I have always been able to get lost in them and I still can. I truly can look at his eyes and know what he is thinking and feeling. I see his soul!
7. His passion for things in life. Whatever hobby he picks up in life he is able to apply true passion to it. He has pulled the car over in the middle of a wooded area just to listen to the cicadas. That's his passion for nature. I love it!
6. He is so talented. He amazes me everytime he shoots a picture. He sees things that I just don't see. I can be right beside him on a bridge and he finds the beauty is something I just didn't see. My walls are full of beautiful pictures due to his photogenic eye!
5. His family values. I love the fact that family has always come first for him. Even when I met him and he was only 17 years old. Family was and still is his priority.
4. He works so damn hard. Phil works awful 12 hour shifts sometimes 4-5 days in a row. He does this all so that the boys and I can live the life we are living.
3. His sense of humor. Anyone that knows Phil knows that he is a prankster. I love it! It keeps me on my toes!
2. He is an awesome father. I wish that my father could have been 1/2 the father that Phil is. He knows when to be funny with them, when to be serious with them, and how to raise them to be proper gentlemen. I get all tingly just watching him play catch with the boys or having a serious father son converstation with Joey. Now, that's sexy!
1. He is my best friend. Since day one he has been my go to guy. He is the one person in the world that I am completly comfortable with. I can be made up or looking pretty sad and he would never show a difference in his love for me. He tells me that I am sexy either way. I can be having a really bad PMS week and he still tells me he loves me. I can be truly 100% myself with him and I love him for that!
So here is to 10 more wonderful years with a wonderful man!
P.S. Sorry for the sap, but you were warned!!

What a couple of weeks!
Hello all! I have not posted in a couple of weeks because it has been truly crazy around here! I have been on an emotional rollercoaster, but things are good now.
Phil had a surprise party for me, to celebrate my 30th birthday, on June 2nd! Boy did he get me good! I had suspicions a couple of times but they were always explained away really well. My very good friend Lynne took me out to lunch at Panara and then we went to the driving range to hit some balls. None of this seemed strange to me because we always do things for each other on our birthdays. On the way home she called her daughter to tell her that we were about 10 min away, which again did not seem strange to be checking in on the kids. As we turned onto our street I was chatting away and did not look down at my house until we got closer. When I looked up I saw my driveway full of people! I said some very naughty four letter words and hid my face with my purse! My sister finally had to come down to the car and drag me out. Once I got out I saw so many people that I just love. He had my family here, my friends, the teachers that I work with, and neighbors! We ended up parting into the wee hours of the next morning, it's a good thing that the neighbors were here with us or I think the police would have been called for the noise. I could not have had a better birthday! I will always remember my 30th, thanks to Phil. He is such an amazing husband! Thanks, honey!
So there I was on an ultimate high when I crashed, hard! The last day of school was June 5th and boy did it hit me. I was so sad walking out of the building on Tuesday that I could not even speak. I ended up crying all of the way home, thank goodness the boys took the bus home that day. It was so hard leaving a job that I love, with people that I love! I have never had to do something like this. I really want to be a teacher and I really want to have my own classroom and I know that the only way to get those things is to leave my job and go to school. I have been talking about this for such a long time that I did not think I had a problem with it. I guess I was in serious denial! I was almost tempted to turn around, run back in to the office, and say nevermind hire me back!! I of course did not do that. I am pushing myself to move on to bigger and better things even though it is hard. I spent most of Wednesday being sad until a friend of mine from school called me and asked me to go biking every Friday. Now I know that I will move on and keep these wonderful people with me. It won't be the same but it is something.
So, my emotional rollercoaster has rolled into the gate until another day. I just got back from our first bike ride and had an awesome time. We rode bikes for 3 hours and ended up in Boone county. (Which is the county to the East of us) I plan on just enjoying summer and taking each day as it comes.
Happy summer to all of you.
P.S. I have a 6th grader and a 4th grader now! Ahhhhh, Lord help me!!!!!
