My Hubby the Birthday Boy! & Kennywood Photo Recap

July 10, 2010

So for those of you who didn’t know this already…
my husband is a youth minister…and 
This week they had Catholic Youth Day at Kennywood. Here’s some photos from our day. His brother puts on this event every year and It was the biggest crowd yet! It started with Mass and it is always so cool to see the kids living their faith. We spent most of the day walking around with our Pastor who is like family to us. He and Ben won sophia tons of stuffed animals. I finally had to stop them from playing anymore games!! hehe. Ben kept giving the teenage kids running the games a hard time saying if he didn’t win a toy they were going to make sophia cry..haha.  Oh and the hubby kept wanting me to go into a line for a ride and if someone said “you are pregnant you can’t ride…” be like ” i have a tumor! you’re sickkk!” haha..but.. i didn’t. I just ate yummy treats all day and sweated off all my water weight. I kept joking that at my doctor’s appointment the next day they were going to weigh me and be like what happened?!? haha.. (i actually was right on track..miracle!)


At first sophia wasn’t so thrilled with the kiddie rides……….
but she finally started to love it by the end!! what a cutie. 

Today is my husband’s birthday…. i’m thankful for the blessing he is and i’m so happy he is in my life. he is such an amazing husband and father. he keeps me laughing and supports me through the ups and downs of life! He hugs me when i’m super preggo emotional…cooks me yummy food when i can’t even handle the smell of the kitchen in general haha. He is my handyman and fix it guy. He is such a great daddy to sophia and has already fallen in love and started worrying about the wedding day of our 2nd daughter who isn’t even born yet haha. Every day i fall more and more in love with this guy… he is helping me get to heaven and when we pray together every night i feel 
so lucky to have such a holy man in my life. 


Happy Birthday ben! I love you. 
even more than the day that we said i do.


 I’m letting him sleep in today instead of waking up with sophia…of course she wakes up at 6 am instead of 8 or 9 like she hasss been waking up! haha. But today is ben’s day to be pampered…
although he’ll still have to do the heavy lifting. :)
Please keep the prayers coming..still trying to sell our house since our original buyers fell through 5 days before we were going to close! we were supposed to be moving into our new house on monday….very sad. but we are realizing that God must have a plan for us if nothing else to help us learn that everything doesn’t have to be perfectly planned and that he is in control not us!! excited to see how things end up and very anxious to get things going. I’ll be fine moving a house with a newborn..i just don’t want to do showings with a newborn! but counting our blessings.
