Happy Anniversary Baby.......

18 years and still going strong................

we have tried out every bit of our vows and survived.......

for better

for worse

for richer

for poorer

in sickness

and in health.....

it's all good, baby......it's all good

love ya, mwah

like father

sneaking in a nap with dad.......

my little guy finally giving in to sleep after trying to stay up all night trying so hard to squeeze every bit of time off during summer break he can.

my big guy, a much deserved nap after putting in many 12 shifts in an un-air conditioned building during the hot summer.

the girl

she started it!

the boys

they ended it

happy happy birthday my sweet girl

July 10 1990..........she is now
17 years old. it seems like yesterday, and yes, everyone says it, but it is so very true.

i can still feel her tiny, well, if you call 9 pounds 10 ounces tiny, anyway.....i can still feel her little body in my arms.

i can still smell that baby smell......

i can remember every birthday cake i ever made for her.

now that she is growing up she makes her own.......



stephs birthday cake recipe:


layers of ice cream sandwiches
whip cream
chocolate sauce
m and m's


every year i wonder where all the years have gone................how did she grow up so fast...............why did she have to grow up so fast. i love watching her change and become her own person, oh but i miss being able to scoop her up and kiss her little baby cheeks and hold her and keep her safe in my arms.

beautiful sky
