McCall Trip 2009

Some of my friends decided to go up and spend the weekend in McCall. Shauna has a time share we stayed at. We met Cindy Wolf there! Cindy Williams came up and saw us on Saturday night. It was so fun to see her again and just spend the weekend doing... NOTHING! We ate alot! We did some shopping in the little stores and walked by the lake. It is beautiful and I would love to go again in the summertime!

water front and enjoyed the DISNEY

feeling. There were several things to

see and do! It definately one of the

Happiest Places on Earth! =)

We got to tour around and enjoy all

kinds of snacks! We also go the

pleasure of seeing a bunch of characters!

Especially Winnie the Pooh!!

Mickey and Minnie were out and about!

SPRING BREAK 2009

Spring Break 2009! We played for the weekend in Salt Lake! We visited the Living Planet Aquarium and stayed at the Courtyard Marriott... it was awesome with it's 24 hour pool! We also went to the JAZZ vs. SUNS game! It was an awesome game...especially because the Jazz won! (Sorry Wyatt!!) =) We ate at Joe's Crab Shack!!
Jake and Brittney came and hung out with us and we played a game of trains! The new family addiction! Jake won! (What? Jake won?) We didn't go far, but we had a great time with each other! Just goes to show you can vacation in your (near) backyard and have a great time!!

Fun with the Family!!

We spent Valentines Weekend
in Salt Lake with Nikki's family,
Brittney and Jake,
and Mom and Ross!!
We just hung out at Nikki's house
and played games! It was a lot of fun!
What is more fun than
being with your family!!


We all learned to play
a really fun new
board game:

TICKET TO RIDE--

that brought out our

competitive spirit!

We were out for blood
by the time it
was over! Of course....
CHAD won! :( HAHA!!



There's nothing better than time with family!
Thanks Chad and Nikki
for sharing your home!
I'm sooo glad Pocatello
isn't toooo far from
Salt Lake!!
HAHAHA!!

Missing Wyatt!

Wyatt moved down to Montpelier with his Dad!
He is going to finish up his
senior year in Preston and be able
to graduate in mid April...
We are excited to have him be
able to get done early with school..
but not liking having him so far away from us!
The house is awfully quiet and the
grocery bill has gone down significantly!!
Come to think of it so has the water bill,
since he generally showers twice a day! :)
Rhett is enjoying being the only child!
His dream has finally come true!!
It will be interesting to see what Wyatt decides
to do when he is done with high school...
so many choices ahead...
Good luck Buddy Boy!
I Love You So Much!
and am proud of you and the
choices you are making to change
your life for the better! xoxo

Christmas 2008

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Election fever!!

This election has been exciting! I have had so much fun checking out the candidates and what they stand for, what their plans are and just what they will try to do to turn America around! I think they both have good qualities, and it will be so exciting the next couple of months! I have definately learned that I am an independent !!! :)

It has been fun to be a part of this historic election.....

Back to work !! :(

Well here we go again...started a new job on the 16th of June! Home Health again...It is with the local hospital Portneuf and a co-ownership with Amedisys Co. Will give it a try for a month or two and make sure Im not dealing with the same ol same ol I did at the one before!! :) So far the staff is awesome....and fun to be around! I hope all works well! But will keep you informed....

Ya just never know anymore..................... :}

4 years late.....Im LOST!

Well, since I have been layed up...I have been watching the series LOST on the computer!! It is soooo good! I can't believe I have been missing out on this great show! HAHA! :)
Only trouble is....Im staying up all night to watch it....so missing out on some precious sleep! Oh well....

My babies are growing up so fast! Time flies when you are having fun!! It's hard to let go...but I know it is necessary for them to grow--I just can't believe how fast the time goes. They are crying and needing a bottle and a diaper change and the next thing you know they are married, moving out, getting ready to graduate, and talking to girls on the phone!

I get kissed by the sun each morning, Put my feet on a hardwood floor, I get to hear my children laughing, Down the hall through the bedroom door. Sometimes I sit on my front porch swing, Just soaking up the day, I think to myself, I think to myself, This world is a beautiful place

I have been blessed, And I feel like I've found my way, I thank God for all I've been given, At the end of every day, I have been blessed, With so much more than I deserve, To be here with the ones that love me, To love them so much it hurts, I have been blessed!

When you're a mother--you can't afford to close your eyes--

If you do your children will grow up before you can open them!!

Love of family

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.
