Happy (late) Anniversary M&M!

Marc & I celebrated our 8th anniversary on May 3rd! (M&M stands for Marc & Michelle, for those who only know me as Chelle might be a little confused-ha ha!) We were in San Fran for a couple of days and had a blast just hanging out together! I love my Marc-ee more than I can ever imagine possible! 8 years have brought us so much JOY & happiness! Here's to an Eternity TOGETHER, Forever!




At The Swanson Memorial Golf Tournament at the Olympic Club in S.F. This is a golf tourney named after Marc's grandpa! Marc golfed and I hung out in the golf cart! I did put a few holes though!


Looking good Marc! Way to pose for the camera--jk! you had no idea I was taking a picture of you. You just look that good all the time!

This is me sunbathing! Ha ha! (I had to do it!)

Happy Birthday LUCAS!

We can't believe my baby our baby is 5 YEARS OLD today! Happy Birthday Lucas! We love you so much! You are so special! There is NEVER a dull moment when you are around! We love your laughter, your silly faces, your never ending questions, your singing, your creativity, your excitement for life, your energy, your hugs, your kisses,your smile, and your sweet testimony! Happy Happy Birthday Lucas!

It's a...

...GIRL!!!!

If you can't tell, we are holding up a little red dress, representing a "girl"! We are so thrilled! Our little Rylee has finally decided to join our family! (we've had her name picked out before Lucas was born.) The boys are happy, for the most part, as well! Logan has always thought we were having a girl, but Lucas, on the other hand, wanted 100 brothers and then we could have a sister for him! Ha ha! So he was a little upset when he found out he was getting a little sister! Funny boy! So, what do we do with a girl?!! We know boys! I have to take a "how to do hair" class or something! ha ha!

Bon Jovi

Marc & I are going to the Bon Jovi concert tonight!!! I can't wait to see Marc rock out! Thanks Ralph & Terry for the Christmas gift!

Hangin' with the cousins!

Need I say more?!!! ha ha! Earlier this month, we drove to Utah to go hang out with our fam, my brother & his family, for a fun weekend! The drive wasn't all that bad, but never fun either! It was great to see Kevin & Amanda & their beautiful girls! We had fun staying up late playing canasta & just talking! The boys had so much fun playing with their cousins, we don't get to see them as much as we use to. Boo hoo. So until the summer, we'll see you again MACKA Hutch clan!

Not Much

So it's been quite some time since I've done anything with our blog! But I promise that sometime this month I will put up a new post with our current and updated stories and pictures! There is already one thing that I have added that is quite exciting for us!!! Can you guess what that may be?!!!

Thanks Jilly for making taking family pics fun! It's usually just crazy trying to get the boys to smile! Thank you! and Great job too! We love the pics!

Jalapenos or Chilies?

So, I started preparing dinner at like 4:15pm this afternoon, trying to be a good wifey to have it done by the time my hubby got home, and the main dish was going to be "Super Easy Chicken Enchiladas"! These are so yummy & truly very easy to make! But in my haste to make this meal without dawdling I grabbed what looked like (see picture) the can of Diced Green Chilies and dumped the whole thing (which I'm suppose to) into the sour cream sauce. As I am assembling my chicken enchiladas, the last step before the oven, some of the sauce got onto my finger, so I did what every cook does; I licked it! And OOOOOHHHH my was that sauce SPICY!!!! I was like, "what the..." (and "heck" was really the word that popped into my mind for you bad word thinkers-ha ha!). So I added some more sour cream (but ran out) and some cream of chicken but still so SPICY. Then I thought that I should look at the can, and WAAAMO! JALAPENOS, not chilies! Ha ha! It was not funny at the time-but hilarous now. I had to call my hubby and send him to the store on his way home from work so he could pick up more sour cream so I could make a whole new batch of sauce. So, to make a long story short...(finish that quote and name that movie) dinner was totally not ready by the time Marc came home & I learned that it might help to look and read the labels when cooking!!! Has anyone else done something like this, or is it just me?!!! LOL!

HaPpY bIrThDaY lOgAn!

Happy Birthday my sweet Logan! Logan is enjoying his birthday donut nice and early this morning(daddy was so nice and got up early to go get it so that you would have it when you woke up)!


We can't believe that our baby is 3 years old...where does the time go? We love you Logan, so much! You bring SOOOO much JOY into all of our lives! We hope that year 3 is full of fun & magic!

Atlantis, Bahamas

We just got back from our family vacation to Atlantis resort in the Bahamas! It was AMAZING! We can not believe how beautiful it is there! We loved it! It is so green-so many trees, palm trees, & so much water--the pretty blue & turquoise water, not the nasty brown water we have here in Cali. Anyway, it was such a fun trip! We all had so much fun swimming everyday, hanging with the dolphins, checking out all the fish including, sharks, manta rays, and all kinds of amazing fish. I will write more about our adventure, I just wanted to get some pictures posted, I promised my family so they could see! We love the Bahamas & can't wait to go back, someday!

Folsom Zoo

I thought that I would be brave and take my boys to the zoo this morning all by myself! I don't why I haven't done it before--it was a nice morning out hardly anyone was there. They boys' favorite part was the train ride of course--which is not part of the zoo but next to it. Anyway, we had a good time! Our favorite animals were the wolves! We got to see them fighting/playing with each other! That was pretty cool!



This is us on the train--you can't really tell but that is what we are sitting on!



The ever famous Peacock!! They just roam where they please here at the Zoo!

July Update

Happy Birthday Chelle! It is tradition for me to light sparklers at 11:58pm (the time I was born) on my BDAY! This year we did it a little earlier because what can I say, I'm getting old, and 11:58pm is a little late for me! Ha hA!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Marc & I went golfing at Marc's Grandpa's memorial Golf tourney in San Fran! It was a beautiful day! Let's just say that we made it through all 18 holes alive-but not in a very good mood (at least for me. I hate not being good at a sport.) It was so much fun just to be together all day on a beautiful course--the Olympic Club!

Day at the RIVER! The boys sure do love just jumping in and playing in the water!

This is the cabin the the boys & I went to for a family reunion! It was amazing! We sure did miss Marc/daddy. He had to stay home & work-BOO. This was in Idaho on a private lake-so beautiful!

me & my boys enjoying the water!!

HaPpY bIrThDaY mArC!!!

It's a Reese's PB Cup cake!!

Birthday lunch at TGI Fridays! I love you Marc, Happy Birthday!

So July has been an extremely busy month for us, like is usually is for everyone. We've had birthdays, family reunions, work, putting our house up for sale, and just the normal mayhem. We hope you all had a great July as well!
