Slacker!

I know, I know! I'm totally behind. However, I've got a great excuse......because. Ha! I'm downloading and organizing pictures and all that other stuff I promise. I know the anticipation is almost as big as the new Breaking Dawn book, but you'll just have to be patient. Oh and just one thing I'm dealing with today, Daisy, one of our golden retrievers, has GAS! Vomit anyone? :)

Jumping Lizard

OH MY GOODNESS!! I would totally PEE MY PANTS!!! Still hilarious though... Poor man!!

The Family that Rocks Together, Stays Together.....

I'm sure that little explanation is needed for the game "Rock Band", but I will do a little bit... There are vocals, drums, and two guitars... Notice, please, that Emily is the vocalist in both pictures... I dare you to try and take that mic out of her hands! They love to play this game with their dad. I am a modest audience member. Somebody must be there to applaud the performance! (I'm allowed to do vocals, but only on the rare occasion. They are VERY rare.)

First Time Fisher!

(I'm so far behind on the happenings in my family!!! AAAHH! Ok. I'm done now.) In May Jeff and Ethan went on their first Father/Son campout. They had a blast!!! Ethan loved every minute of his time alone with his dad. They did all the fun stuff, and best of all, Ethan caught his first fish! I love to go fishing and I'm so glad the kids are old enough to do it now. Fun, fun, fun! P.S. Isn't my boy beautiful!! Oooh, I could just eat him up.

Happy Father's Day!

I have to say, I'm probably one of the luckiest girls in the world. I've been blessed with such a wonderful husband (who happens to be SMOKIN' HOT) and he's also a fantastic father. The kids are always so excited to see him when he comes home. I must confess that he's the "fun" parent! :) I love to watch him play with Ethan and Emily. The laughter is truly contagious!

Skidoosh!

We took the kids to see Kungfu Panda. LOVED it. Our new favorite word is..... SKIDOOSH! We love to say it. Just makes you smile!

Pain, lots and lots of pain....

Most of you know, I don't do exercise. HATE it. However, my friend Jenny and I recently signed up for some classes at a local dance studio. My body protests, while funnily enough, my brain insists that I continue to attend the classes. I will admit that I feel fantastic as soon as I'm done. Several hours later, there is of course, PAIN, lots and lots of pain. (The brain is optimistic, but the body feels certain it will not be long before some sense is beaten into the brain.)

A Sentimental Moment

Okay, so this is VERY unusual for me, but I had a rare moment of teariness the other day. We were having a terrific rain storm in the valley Thursday. I had taken the kids to see Indiana Jones (very good by the way) and we were on our way home. It was about 8:30 p.m. and POURING rain. The kind of rain that feels like God is trying to drown the devil. I looked in my mirror to see if the kids were asleep, and of course they were. I was suddenly struck by how innocent and young and trusting my children are. Not a care in the world and completely confident that I would get them home safely in spite of the storm outside. I can remember feeling that way when I was a teenager traveling with one of my parents driving. I look around at our world and I can only hope that my children enjoy a greater length of peace and security. That kind of innocence is so fleeting and I never want my kids to grow out of it! I know it hasn't got great odds but I'll keep praying that they will enjoy it as long as I can provide it. So there it is. My sentimental moment for the year. :)

Emily and Grammy

Emily loves to help in the kitchen.  We made some yummy bread rolls.  They're made with mashed potatoes and before you bake them you soak them in butter. YUM-O!
