A Very Happy Birthday to my darling husband Brad on Monday June 2. He will be 33! And also a very happy birthday to Brad's Grandma Sonja, on Tuesday June 3. I am posting these wishes now because we have a busy weekend ahead. We are having a garage sale here tomorrow, the kids are getting photos taken with my sister's kids for my mom and we are getting ready for having the Emme girls with us for the next two weeks!! We are gonna have a blast!

Congratulations Severin Family

I would like to take a moment to congratulate my cousin Heather and her husband Marc on the birth of their second son Zavier Taurino Severin! He sure is a cutie, like his big brother Zachary. I can't believe how much he has grown since I last saw him!! Keep the photos coming. We love you guys and hope that all is well! Zavier was born on April 10, 2008 at 8:18 a.m. He weighed 8 pounds, 14 ounces.

Happy 4th Anniversary to us!

Brad and I will be celebrating 4 years of marriage tomorrow (May 22). It has been an exciting 4 years, that's for sure. I've never had more fun in my life! I couldn't ask for a better partner. I feel like I am the luckiest woman in the world. I look forward to sharing many more years together. I love you honey!

Maller Family Garden

We planted our first garden this past weekend. We are hoping that some of the vegetables and fruits that we planted will actually grow. We also planted a bunch of flowers, seeds as well as plants. We thought that we should add some color to our yard. Sydney loved the idea of being able to dig in the dirt with mommy! It was a beautiful weekend here in Minnesota, and we were fortunate to spend most of it outside.

Happy Anniversary Jeff and Jeanne!

We would like to wish our good friends Jeff and Jeanne a very happy anniversary on Tuesday May 20! Here's to many more happy years for you two. We love you guys!! :)

Rogers' Cousins Sleepover!

This past Saturday (May 10) I got the chance to get together with some of my female cousins for a little reunion/slumber party. What a great time! We had lots of good food, good conversation and a lot of laughs! I brought movies with, but we had so much to catch up on we didn't have a chance to watch them! We have decided to make it a yearly thing. Sara, Shannon, Jenny, and Shantell, I just want you to know that night was one of the most fun I have had in a long time! I love you all and look forward to many more gatherings like this one!

Happy 33rd Birthday to Me!

I am a few days early, but I am very excited about my upcoming birthday on Saturday May 17. I get to have a date night with my husband, which I am SUPER excited about because we don't get to do that very often. We are going to go out to eat and probably to a movie. I've made reservations for us at Ciao Bella. The rest of the day I hope to get in as much relaxation as possible!!

Happy Birthday Wishes!

I would like to wish a very happy 10th birthday to my Godson, Phillip Truax on May 11. I hope that you have a wonderful day!! :)

I'd also to wish my cousin Trisha a happy birthday on May 13. I hope you have a great day as well.

Stacey's Surgery

I met with my general surgeon for a consult this morning and have scheduled my surgery for Tuesday June 24 at 8:00 am. I am having a total thyroidectomy done. The surgery will take approximately 3 hours, and I will have to remain in the hospital for one night for sure. I really like the surgeon, so I am hopeful that all will go well. Please keep me in your prayers as I wait for the surgery to happen and for me during the surgery as well.

Happy Birthday Greg!

I would like to wish a very happy birthday to my good friend Greg Cisewski, who I met back in the good old days at Stout! Hope it's a great one my friend and that we'll see you soon!

Spring has finally arrived! (Hopefully)

This past weekend sure was beautiful here in Minnesota. We got a lot of stuff done outside. Brad and our neighbor Pat spent the majority of the weekend building a playground area in each of our backyards for our children. These areas also included sandboxes, which we've yet to fill. They also planted two new trees in the Cronin's yard and one in ours. See our shutterfly gallery for photos of Sydney and her best friend Andrew helping their dads with the trees! When the playground area was finished, Brad tilled our area in which we have decided to plant a vegetable garden! We have already started (in containers to be transplanted) tomatoes and strawberries. What an exciting adventure.

On another note, I meet with the thyroid surgeon tomorrow morning to schedule my thyroid surgery, which will probably be in mid to late June, I will let you all know when we know! Don't forget to check out the photos from Christopher's first birthday in our shutterfly gallery as well!
