Forty is a Big Number

So in reality 40 isn't that big of a number. But it is when you're talking about years of marriage! Today my parents celebrated that milestone, and I couldn't be happier for them.

Not only are they wonderful parents and grandparents, they are wonderful spouses to each other. They are such an example of what I hope Brent and I are growing toward.

They are best friends who still hold hands and enjoy each other's company. They support each other and {for the most part} know when to nag and when to let it be. In 1 word, they are a TEAM.

I've seen them argue, but I've also seen them make-up. I've seen my mom nag my dad 1 too many times, but I've also seen them dance in the kitchen because one of their favorite songs came on the radio. I've seen them go through loss, and I've seen them embrace yet another grandchild. I've seen their love for each other grow through it all.

I hope after 40 years Brent and I are as happy as they are!

Happy anniversary, you two crazy kids!

Bedtime Shenanigans

Sunday's bedtime all started with a simple air mattress... Well, actually it started Saturday night. {grin} Brent played in a golf tournament Saturday and started snoring about .2 seconds after getting into bed that night, so we agreed {ha...after I punched him} it would be best if he slept in the guest room. Drew found the air mattress he slept on Sunday after church and begged to take her nap in there. I told her if she got off the bed, she would go to her crib. I didn't hear a peep out of her and she was asleep in minutes.

Always with her hand in her hair

So Sunday night when both kids wanted to sleep on the air mattress, we thought why not? {They have tried probably 5 other times to sleep together and it never ends well - Trent gets tired of Drew talking and leaves the room to which Drew responds with the saddest sobbing you've ever heard. Rejection is hard.}

I should have known it wouldn't go well when this was how reading time ended.

Fast forward 2 hours...

It was probably 11:00 before we had both kids asleep {D in her crib and T on the air mattress}, and they are spending the day today with Babs and Pops, so I had to wake them both up at 7:20 to go over there.

Any regrets, Sister?

Can you find T?

I think we're all dragging a little today but they were too hilarious last night.
