12 on the 12th

Happy Anniversary to us!  I knew I was marrying my best friend, but I had no idea it would be so fulfilling! The hard work we continue to put into making our marriage successful is so worth the outcome!  Thank you for being such a loving, faithful husband.  I will continue to strive to be the kind of wife you deserve.

Here's to many more years together!

Sweet Love

We attended a wedding on Saturday that was quite beautiful. The bride was gorgeous and very much in love with her handsome groom. I always love going to weddings - being reminded of the wonderful vows that Duncan and I took 11 years ago and rededicating ourselves to live our lives in tandem with each other.
The wedding was at the Historic Church in Port Gamble, WA. When we first moved to Kitsap County and were sight-seeing, I took one look at the church and wished we could have been married in it. Such a quaint place - so full of history.

I didn't snap any pictures of the wedding party, but took some great photos of fun stuff at the reception.

Wedding Princesses

Me and my girls

The kids went to a wedding with us on Saturday. The girls were looking forward to seeing Lacey all dressed up as a princess and Graeme was bummed that he had to sit through something so 'boring' - but he obviously survived. It was a beautiful day for an outdoor wedding. We did get some sun though, so thankfully we all have a base tan and didn't burn!

FUNNY TID-BIT - On the way to the wedding, the kids were commenting that they were hot in the car and Duncan said "So is your mommy!" To which I jokingly replied "SMOKING HOT!" Paige {aka Parrot} said "I'm 'mokin hot too. Blaire, you wanna be 'mokin hot with mommy and me?"

I brought a friend with me to help watch the kiddos since Duncan was doing the wedding. Not like our kids needed that much watching, but I had to take Paige to the potty a few times and I didn't want to have to worry about the other two running around. Jessica is such a good friend and so wonderful with the kids that it was a blast having her with us.

We went for a vigorous walk in the morning before the wedding, so we snapped pictures of us all 'sweaty' and then later when we had cleaned up and were all 'pretty'.
