I want a wife!

I have told this story to others, and they keep telling me I need to blog it. Evan has been so cute lately. He's been saying and doing so many new things. Brandon and I are fond of calling him nicknames and he always corrects us. "I'm not Honey, I'm Evan." Well, I guess about a month ago, we were sitting at the dinner table and Evan announces, "I want a wife!"
Us- "What?"
Evan- "I want a wife,"
Us- "Why do you want a wife, Honey?"
Evan- "I'm not Honey, I'm Evan"
Us- "Okay,...Evan, why do you want a wife?"
Evan- "Riley has one"
Us- "Riley has a wife?"
Evan- "Yep, see"
We look over to Riley and he is cutting open his roll with a butter "wife".
Gotta love that sweet little boy! -Pam-

Happy Birthday, Brandon!

Today was Brandon's birthday. I hope that he had a great day. I got up early to make him cinnamon rolls. He went into work a little late so he could stay and open presents this morning. We had some company this afternoon and they helped me decorate with balloons and streamers. Then I made Brandon steak and potatoes for dinner, upon his request. After dinner, we sang Happy Birthday and all had some cake and ice cream. And then he left for school. What a guy! I don't think he thought of skipping class for a second, where as I don't feel I even should have to get out of bed if it is my birthday. I know that every woman would probably say that they have the best husband, but I have to say that Brandon is the best man that I have ever known. I feel overwhelmed sometimes that Heavenly Father feels I am the soul mate of someone so wonderful as he is. He is so loving and generous and thoughtful. He is a truly great father. He works so hard to try to find a balance to life so that we can have a marriage and family life that is filled with joy and comfort. I am so thankful to have him in my life.
Brandon, I love you. And our children do, too. Happy Birthday, Honey! Love, Pam

Pretty in Pink

Our neighbor's have a beautiful tree in their front yard that is bright pink at times. I loved it during the snow fall and got several pretty pictures of it. I added one to the top of this blog. I am going to start another blog that is just mine. Friends have asked me about poetry that I have written and there are some pretty pictures that I have taken that I would love to show off, but don't really get a chance to. Someday, when I'm all grown up, I'd like to do something with some of talents that right now are just hobbies. Sometimes I get so lost in what I am supposed to be doing that I forget what I used to love to do. I guess I'm ready to get a little piece of that back before I forget about it altogether. Soon there will be a link on the side, for any one that is interested. -Pam-
