A BIG THANKS!!!!!!!!!

I am the bigger goofball when it comes to our children, I am always the one who never wants to leave them with a sitter. I enjoy our children. So needless to say I am super picky about who they spend ANY amount of time with and if we can trust people to make good decisions when you are away. It is much harder when you are not on home turf, but we have adjusted and learned lessons like everyone else. So needless to say our list is small and I am a neurotic. So when Mike and I were planning to go away we asked months in advance to see if our "family" was available, of course the Cavs and the Sals and indeed they could help. Sals had arrangements at the last minute but the Cav girls were ready to take on the challenge. A challenge it was, Phe tried to get sick the day before we left, I got nervous. But Mike help me quickly get the point that we chose Taunie for a reason, if anyone could handle illness and Payton she could. And needless to say our kids had a blast, they went everywhere, like the mall, pool, Dairy Queen. All the places mom is to tired to go right now. And for three days they were angels. Taunie and Cait were sure life savers they even stated she can't wait to get back in the weeks when the newest Hart arrives. I am sure things will be heck of crazy then. But, I know I have someone who truly understands our girls personalities as much as we do. And in life that is a wonderful thing to have because it truly takes a village and I love my Florida village.

Thanks Taunie and Cait, and the rest of you, you know who you are!

Captiva Island

The best feeling in the world is being able to go on vacation and that is how we spent our 10th anniversary. We went to the Island of Captiva for three days. Words can't express just how beautiful this island paradise truly is, but pictures can:

The Sunset, simply beautiful!


Mike on the golf course, no he did not play it was our time.


Dolphins love to play!


......and play!

10 YEARS!

Ten years is a long time, just ask anyone, try being married to that same person all that time and still manage to say each morning you love them more now then you did the day you married him and I truly do. I am so blessed to have someone to love and who loves me. I happy that I am guided each day by the love of Christ who helps me understand why the unit of Husband and Wife are SO important to His eternal plan. So needless to say when I woke up this morning I thank God for sending me an angel. One who understands me, most days, the father of my soon to be four children and the man I will spend all of eternity with. For this I am truly thankful. Ten years, we are just getting started, I cannot wait to see what the next ten years bring. For I truly love my husband beyond measure! Michael, I am your wife now and FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honey, I bought a car!

With the new addition due in two months, we needed a larger car; after long thought and consideration we decided to buy a new to us car, (we don't buy brand new it is not worth the money). So for about a two months I have been researching and looking at different vehicles. It came down to the Dodge Caravan or the Toyota Sienna. Both had everything we wanted it just really came down to price and color. Well I found a Chrysler Town and Country, (it is the same as the Dodge), at a dealership near Michael's work. He wanted me to go look at it, I wanted him to go look at it. I told him I am not in the mood to drag the children to the car dealership so you go.

It took Michael four weeks to get there, (he is a busy guy). Anyway on Thursday of last week he said he was going to go an look at the van after work. I thought it was a great idea maybe by the weekend we could have a vehicle that would fit all of us.

To make a long story short three hours later I get a call, I bought a car! "Great" I thought. "What kind of car I asked?" "Just what you wanted", he said, I thought "great, something to get me from here to there and I'm happy". Well Michael bought the best car ever! I got a Toyota Sienna, with evrything a soon to be mom of four could possibly want. It is white, automatic everything, you name it does it, except drive itself. So what can I say I have the greatest husband EVER! Not just because he buys me things, but he is ALWAYS thinking about his family. Who would not want a husband that does that!
