So Ryan and I have been married for 5 years now! It was actually on the 29th and thanks to Jayson and Natalie for watching our kids so we could go out to dinner all by ourselves! Weird! We went to Chili's where we got engaged,I know weird but at least we can always go there!
I wanted to point out something for each year we are married and since we have moved 7 times I can't include that yet!

5 - We own 5 couches, for some reason we have collected 3 (one is a futon) and bought two!
4 - We now own 4 vehicles, 1967 Impala, 2000 Mazda Protege, 1998 Toyota Tacoma, and our new 2008 Toyota Sienna
3 - Three kids! Cooper is almost 4, Chloe almost 2, and Reese 3 months this last Thanksgiving!
2 - We own 2 properties, our duplex in Coeur d'Alene and our house in Hayden!
1 - For our anniversary we bought a Samsung 50" flat screen plasma tv! Ryan has been looking at them for months and we got a pretty good deal...We got it at Sears and luckily we bought the minivan to haul it home cause it is pretty huge! It is finally mounted on our wall THANKS to Jason our friend down the street and to Elaine his wife for letting him come down and help my husband...

Sorry I have not updated sooner I thought I was addicted to blogging but somehow I have been overwhelmed with other things lately! Cooper and Chloe got flu shots last week and Cooper spent the whole next day vomiting all over the couches and then Chloe has had a barky cough and stuff nose for almost 2 weeks now and Reese's thrush will not go away so we are finally on the good stuff, Diflucan, and boiling everything! She is also vomiting because she is congested thanks to Chloe from kissing on her so she gags on her sinuses draining...There is so much going around that it makes it hard to stay healthy and home so we don't pick up more!

Thanksgiving was great! We had my parents, sister and her family and of course my brother who still lives with us, but not for long! After we ate and hung out they had to hit the road and we headed to Pinehurst to see Ryan's grandpa who was in town! He is so stinkin cute! He just turned 87 and is so feisty! We also got a picture of him and all the great grandchildren born so far,10 of them - ages almost 11 to 3 months - let's just say it was entertaining!

We are very thankful this holiday season and love the holidays...We have made it a goal to help others even though this email might sound selfish with the things we have bought but we are doing a Secret Santa for a family and have increased our fast offerings by double for the church so we can help others...We know we have been very blessed and want to pay it forward!
