Alivia....

I started working on this slide show for Alivia for her 4th birthday 31 days ago!!! I finally had time to finish it! She is such a blessing to our family and keeps us entertained and laughing....

Disney Again????

Yes, I am a Disneyland FREAK!!!!
Taylor, Alivia, Conner, Alyson, Ethan, Abby, Me, Christian, Shelly, the Orme's Grandma, and our Uncle Bob.

We left "the dads" home to work and headed to Disneyland with our friends, The Orme's. It was a blast!!! We left on Tuesday and came home on Friday. We went to the park on Wednesday and Thursday. It was fun for the kids to have their friends there with them and all the kids were so well behaved. It was my birthday on Wednesday while we were at Disneyland so I made sure to get the birthday button from City Hall and wear it all day. The cast members are so good at making sure they say "Happy Birthday". We had a good time!

Aaron went fishing in Canada for 5 days before our trip to Disneyland. He caught a 36" Northern Pike.

The kids and I got home yesterday afternoon, we packed them up and Aaron took the kids to the fishing tournament at Eagle Valley. So, I've seen Aaron for about 2 hours in the last week and a half. I love having the kids out of school all summer. This is the first year we are not year around and I can tell it's going to go by so fast. We have lots planned!!!!

P.S. I Love You...

GREAT MOVIE!!! I watched it last night while Aaron packed his suitcase. He is leaving today for 5 days for Canada. Bombard Electric always sends the General Foreman on these cool trips. He's been to Oregon (twice), Cabo San Lucas, and this will be the 2nd time to Canada. I blame Bombard for Aaron's obsession with fishing!!! Aaron caught this Blue Marlin in Cabo.He even took the scouts ice fising this past winter.



CLUB READ - a great way to get kids to read over the summer. another great way to get kids to fight over who gets to read to Alivia so they can mark off another box on their chart. another way to go to the library and check out 35 books that will HOPEFULLY not get lost......

By the way, P.S. I Love You is a great movie!!! I think husbands would even sit through it without too much pleading and begging!!!!

Busy....

I have so many things to share but I haven't been able to download all my pictures yet. We went to San Diego a few weekends ago, Alivia turned 4 and we had her birthday party at Pump it Up (what a rip off that place is!!!), Alyson's team took
2nd place in the Championship soccer game, we had Abby's soccer party and Alyson's soccer party. This all in the last 2 weeks!

Plus, SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!!!

WOOO HOOO! This is the first year we've not been on year around so it will be interesting....

I plan on posting (with pictures) about all the activities we've been involved in the last few weeks!!!!

It's MOVING!!!!

YEAH!!!! My weight loss ticker is moving in the right direction. Weight Watchers is going well. It's a slow but effective way of eating healthy.

We'll just see how it goes this weekend. We will be going to San Diego for a wedding and to celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary on Saturday. Our kids are going to Alamo with Grandma so it will be a nice getaway.
I just can't beleive how his hair looked at our wedding! What was he thinking? My mom also forgot our rings at our house and we had to use Kevin Mohler's wedding ring and Shelly's engagment ring(her first engagment, that is). Then, Aaron put the ring on my right hand instead of my left but luckily things have worked out!!!

I can't believe we've been married 11 years. Time really does move so fast. We've experienced so much together and I couldn't ask for a more supportive, talented husband. He really is amazing and I am so lucky to be in such a great relationship!

There's no place like home....

From 1993 to 1996, I worked for a seminar company and would be in a different state almost every weekend. I would usually leave on Thursday night and return home on Monday morning. I got to stay in some pretty fancy hotels but I also stayed in some scary places too. Detroit, Michigan was one of the scariest places! We actually stayed in Downtown Troy. It was a great experience and I met some interesting people....

A few of these state I've actually traveled to without it relating to work.
