What a beautiful fall day! We had so much fun today with our little family, and are so thankful to be surrounded by such great neighbors, family(Justin and Michelle live 2 doors down)and friends. Enjoy the pictures. As you can see we had the Alice in Wonderland theme going on this year......4 Girls and a Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16587127985183400186noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553516323235683960.post-1984432478150143512009-10-14T09:04:00.000-07:002009-10-17T14:39:58.259-07:00Update (We ARE Alive)It has been forever I know, and I have no excuses. I am just not great at the blogging thing. I can't seem to keep up. The problem is I just end up getting so far behind, and then I get so overwhelmed and don't know where to start. I am just going to do the best I can to give you a glimpse of our lives the past few months. <br />Addy started first grade, and she is loving it! She has grown up so much! She has been helping out so much around the house, and the best part about it is she does it without being asked. It makes me so happy! The first couple of days she talked about how long it was, but it only took a few days for her to get used to it. By the way she looks when she gets home I think she plays really hard at recess. She is starting to read so well! I can't believe she is in first grade and is gone all day, but it is also good to see her growing and learning! She is still working really hard on the violin, and is doing really well with it. We are so proud of her! She also played soccer this year and she loved it. She decided she did not want to dance this year, but wanted to try soccer. So of course I was okay with that(less running around for me). Gracie also decided she did not want to dance, and she was so broken hearted that she was not old enough to play soccer. Next year she will be good and ready after watching sis. Her and Faith played on the side lines every game.<br />Gracie started preschool, and she is feeling pretty big. It was really hard for her when Addy started and she expected to be doing the same thing. So when she started preschool she was upset that she was not there all day, and she didn't get to do school lunch. She is learning how to write her name, the letters, and the numbers, and much more. It is so fun to see her eyes light up when something just clicks! She is planning on starting violin in a month or so. She has been asking for a long time, so I decided I would get her going too.<br />Faith is doing pretty good now. She has been really sick for the past couple of weeks, but she is finally smiling again. She has always been our child that is always getting the sicknesses going around, and I have decided I am going to have to get a little paranoid. This has by far been the sickest she has been, and as always went to her lungs. It is so hard as a parent to watch your kids suffer with sickness and not know what to do for them. When they are young and can't tell you, you worry a lot more. <br />She is always finding any pen, pencil, crayon (you name it), and then she colors on anything and everything. She is our little terror. Mark my words she will be the one to cut her hair along with everyone elses. I have been pretty lucky up until this point(knock on wood)! She wants to be just like her sisters, and follows their every move. I love to just watch her try to imitate them! She is starting to talk a lot more and that is always fun when they start to try to say things!<br />I have been busy playing mom, and running kids here there and everywhere. Once school starts things get a lot crazier. I just ran the St. George marathon, and I couldn't have asked to have done better. I felt really good, and had a great day! It was so much fun! I really liked that course, and plan on doing it again in the near future. Boston is next! My goal was to qualify, and I reached my goal. So I will work towards that after a little break(or a long one). For now I am going to do a little more strength training and only run a couple of days a week.<br />As for Ryan he is busy working and supporting everyone else. He is such a great dad and husband. He works so hard for our family, and he is so supportive of the things that I enjoy doing. He is also very busy in his church calling. I kind of like when fall comes around because he doesn't work in the yard as much which means I see a lot more of him.<br />We recently took the two older girls to Disneyland for their birthdays and left Faith home with Grandma and Grandpa. We had such a great time, and I think it was good for the older two to get some one on one time with mom and dad. We also did not do much this summer so it was fun to get away.<br />Then the day we came back we needed a vacation from our vacation so we took of to Lake Powell for the anual Butler family trip. It is always so fun to go down there. Lake Powell is my favorite because it truly is a break from everything (well most everything) It is always so relaxing and it is fun to spend a week with the family. We always have some good laughs and fun times. I also have to mention that I finally figured out the wakeboard thing for the first time since I have had kids.It was a lot of fun, but I forgot how many crashes it takes before you figure out something. Ryan also did awesome on the wakeboard!<br />So here are some pictures of the girls first day of school, soccer, the marathon, and our trips. Hopefully I can do a little better at keeping up on the blogging.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmHGo80xaMDUDKPBUp9fsc-8UT-iRltiOiBptLQiJkCZ8YgbrNwMu_sRr7a9jnErII9p99YXMMGZ0Em90oOh8FlCv0QIAI7pKz2vJjpbCHP5qWffPxZW1dtHkThR8qprQ3bjsxdtcOzUjE/s1600-h/Zoo.Soccer.Gpa+Rat+Bday.+Disneyland+2009+543.jpg"><img style="display:block;

She has been so excited ever since she found out it was loose. I thought for sure it was going to be a tramatic experience when it fell out. Well, it almost was. Gracie pulled something out of her mouth in one of their many fights, and Addy came running "my tooth, my tooth, Gracie hit my tooth" I told her to smile, and then it was gone. She then chewed out Gracie because it took us a while to find it, but now she keeps talking about how Gracie pulled her tooth out.<br /> It is always so exciting when they get their first tooth, and also exciting when they lose their first tooth. I can't believe how fast she is growing up! She has been such a big helper. It just makes me realize how much we need to cherish these moments. I took some pictures, but our camera hookup is not working. As soon as I get it working I will post some pictures along with other updates.4 Girls and a Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16587127985183400186noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553516323235683960.post-57050712740016582642009-06-21T19:58:00.000-07:002009-06-21T20:21:49.024-07:00Happy Fathers Day To All!I just want my wonderful husband to know how much I love him. He is such a wonderful daddy to the girls, and they just love him so much! He works so hard for our family, and I feel so blessed to have found someone so wonderful. This year the girls did some more meaningful gifts for him, and I think he really appreciated them. The girls and I had so much fun making them, and those are the kind of gifts that keep on giving year after year. Anyway Ry thanks for being the wonderful hubby you are, and for being such a great example to all of us. The girls are always going to be daddy's little girls, and I love to see the relationship you share with them. We love you! You are the best!<br /> I also want my wonderful dad to know how much I love him. He and I have always had a special bond, and I look up to him in so many ways. He has always treated my mom like a queen and shown us the way a marriage should be. I am thankful for the relationship we share. We always have a good time, and we are always enjoying a good laugh. He is always willing to make any sacrifice for me and our family. Thanks for being such a great grandpa. The girls love you so much, and always have fun with you. Thanks dad for the dad you are and for always being there for me.<br /> Thanks to Ryans dad for being such a great example, and for teaching him to be such a great husband and father. I have always known where he learned to be such a great man. Thanks for being the grandpa you are! Thanks again for all you do and for being a great example. <br /> And to all the other dads in our life. Thanks for all you do, and for your great example to us.4 Girls and a Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16587127985183400186noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553516323235683960.post-79400306256493676592009-05-10T10:26:00.000-07:002009-05-10T13:34:57.290-07:00Happy Mothers Day Mommy!Happy Mothers Day Mom!

Besides the fact that it makes for a really long day it was a lot of fun to go watch them. They both did so good!! Ryan came to the realization today that this is just one of many long dance events that he will be attending over the next 10 to 20 years.....with 3 girls in the house and possibly more in the future. He loves his girls and loved watching them perform. Sorry we didn't have the best of seats during Gracie's performance so the video isn't that great. Grace is in the back center court. <iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyoTPAjAtsNsAQYyTUacZxZkzJqxeYkhB4n05-0kvkJEcT1tEMnI7SVMqYmxLroWCfoa69UHcpFBN9sLRNBpQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>4 Girls and a Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16587127985183400186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553516323235683960.post-16447141992276057522009-04-29T19:32:00.000-07:002009-04-29T20:26:22.803-07:00Our Dancing QueenFaith has always been our little dancing queen. For as long as I can remember Faith has danced to the beat of any music. Ever since the girls got the stage she has watched her older sisters and she will get on the stage every chance she gets. She absolutely loves the stage, and just lights up when she is on it. I have been trying to get her on video for a long time. This still wasn't her best performance, but I have to say it is pretty cute.<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyHfrmpER0XYNFo3R2ymXR8Q_WDIfz0jmPRf7Arh4unRtlD5gc4_fdIJ52cjDEPQWiIwz1QERklkQ0teEnfJg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>4 Girls and a Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16587127985183400186noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553516323235683960.post-59716921282795433392009-04-29T18:20:00.000-07:002009-04-29T18:36:00.560-07:00Last stop...

Although very beautiful it was the most undeveloped island we stopped on. What a simple way of life and the people are so happy!! We could learn a lot from this. Ryan said it reminded him a lot of the Philippines. Hurricane Ike hit there about 6 months before, and you could still see the devastating affects of that. The cruise lines have dropped a lot of money on the port, there is a nice beach and pool area with a flowrider and then a lot shops and don't forget.... Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville! We took a taxi downtown looking for some shopping and when we got "downtown" we realized downtown was about 5 multi colored shops with cool native products. We looked around and then spent the rest of the day at the beach.

You could definitely tell this island was territory of the Good olde U.S. of A. We were able to get Subway.. my favorite!! While on St. Thomas we booked an excursion and went on the BOSS underwater scooters. It was awesome! They were little scooters that you rode on about 10-15 feet under the surface that had big bubbles(that make your head look tiny..enjoy the pics lol) that your head went up in and you just breathed normally. They took us out to an island off of St. Thomas to a place called Turtle Cove. The name Turtle Cove comes from all the Sea Turtles(obviously). According to our guide there was a certain type of grass that grew in that cove that the turtles eat. The under water scooters made it possible to get up close and personal to sea life. After our scooter tour Ryan was able to snorkel in the cove for about and hour. He saw some huge sea turtles, stingrays, and even a barracuda. The Turtles were not at all afraid of humans. A few of them surfaced right by Ryan while he was out snorkeling. Definitely one of our favorite stops!4 Girls and a Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16587127985183400186noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553516323235683960.post-82829771729472407762009-04-22T18:04:00.000-07:002009-04-22T18:27:08.625-07:00Formal Dinner Night #2<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-oyPhu6t2zlDVLQlmdd0F4gB6_jiHKnhYEosTzcOdjOrPCurdOFKf0YvXNDqThOy_U1kg5rpHdYw_a9kiqqNCjQV258R1a7hH6WKhn95yy0Lq4PVqO5ZJfDBk_iui3HmGgSH_Y4WEUGaN/s1600-h/Cruise+2009+145.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-oyPhu6t2zlDVLQlmdd0F4gB6_jiHKnhYEosTzcOdjOrPCurdOFKf0YvXNDqThOy_U1kg5rpHdYw_a9kiqqNCjQV258R1a7hH6WKhn95yy0Lq4PVqO5ZJfDBk_iui3HmGgSH_Y4WEUGaN/s320/Cruise+2009+145.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327691235779224962" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOY6IhVhD6bwEMtI2ZJJrOTL7mgabOja8_TmLPl3VR_v0kwrSteRkoGlm8hxee5v-KbqMaOoEgpfGMsc5NbMzO4vVJYQ0Yoemtfl5gQwBOhxuWC54E-rDFtNfADzeZ8xMr-0FNzcciqIst/s1600-h/Cruise+2009+139.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOY6IhVhD6bwEMtI2ZJJrOTL7mgabOja8_TmLPl3VR_v0kwrSteRkoGlm8hxee5v-KbqMaOoEgpfGMsc5NbMzO4vVJYQ0Yoemtfl5gQwBOhxuWC54E-rDFtNfADzeZ8xMr-0FNzcciqIst/s320/Cruise+2009+139.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327691225504259186" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJU4kThuyd5H2JODpa3cHMRIVyOSC3PBawb70PhyfvWntwxSkW5a6tpoSiA2rXRRb8ZbHhGU1ZYD4LJI49MXclyb-Z-x-IQI3Z28ZO7QYjuicyKSTYam-cAtuwlf2w2Ki_h3vnHNZmEhMW/s1600-h/Cruise+2009+140.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJU4kThuyd5H2JODpa3cHMRIVyOSC3PBawb70PhyfvWntwxSkW5a6tpoSiA2rXRRb8ZbHhGU1ZYD4LJI49MXclyb-Z-x-IQI3Z28ZO7QYjuicyKSTYam-cAtuwlf2w2Ki_h3vnHNZmEhMW/s320/Cruise+2009+140.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327691223729529042" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR0w5D65nlbFt4egeHDS0Z-WOjgcfZNqPlbZnp3Ln4xrkzYBFvoZrtbjcYLhtUfCmZF2LEajXPkWAv4zRez3dWhoH2ybXJpsdJalxX8w8eRXIzC4hXNEmDu79JKdNz6BkhVZhe4ps6nowm/s1600-h/Cruise+2009+143.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR0w5D65nlbFt4egeHDS0Z-WOjgcfZNqPlbZnp3Ln4xrkzYBFvoZrtbjcYLhtUfCmZF2LEajXPkWAv4zRez3dWhoH2ybXJpsdJalxX8w8eRXIzC4hXNEmDu79JKdNz6BkhVZhe4ps6nowm/s320/Cruise+2009+143.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327691221464556882" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlVbquoKRenro4ifLz5cReMuXfCmds7NHzS9jPztM9uKbKn_2-fHIA3oycf00gTAESPHGbiC1x96n8TWaor3cNW4SZxyTRa7kxB-tYCzaCVk2suFsQiU56gbuxQf3wnFlG8zQfPUyaTnVb/s1600-h/Cruise+2009+187.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlVbquoKRenro4ifLz5cReMuXfCmds7NHzS9jPztM9uKbKn_2-fHIA3oycf00gTAESPHGbiC1x96n8TWaor3cNW4SZxyTRa7kxB-tYCzaCVk2suFsQiU56gbuxQf3wnFlG8zQfPUyaTnVb/s320/Cruise+2009+187.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327691214503162082" /></a><br />As mentioned on an earlier post there were 2 formal dinner nights on the cruise. Here are some pictures from that night. Dinner was always fun! Ryan especially enjoyed it... not only because of all the great food, but many of the workers on the ship were from the Philippines, and our waitress (Jovy) each night at dinner was from the Philippines and even more exciting then that, she was from an area that Ryan served in on his mission. He really enjoyed the opportunity to speak the language again. It was funny to watch their eyes light up as he would begin to speak as Cebuano is not a very common language... especially not from a big American guy. (Cruise Tip from Jenny and Ryan.... If you go on a cruise be sure to book one with "anytime dinning" that way you can eat your schedule, not theirs.) It made it much more convenient.4 Girls and a Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16587127985183400186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553516323235683960.post-9736484251552110842009-04-19T08:25:00.000-07:002009-04-19T13:47:35.595-07:00St. Maarten/St. Martin<A href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfvHoYkKx7IxEigCgTbOXdKBDax01THzpHW0Sbdn4DFfjGDQVQh15OElJP1D4wgF_w6T86IA5H58mudOq0vWxELnw7jXgm-TmMkiXkb8iksfm80uvP0iWJt2TzXJz9QwbSXEG0fafUSf2M/s1600-h/Cruise+2009+110.jpg"><IMG id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326428831412402642 style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfvHoYkKx7IxEigCgTbOXdKBDax01THzpHW0Sbdn4DFfjGDQVQh15OElJP1D4wgF_w6T86IA5H58mudOq0vWxELnw7jXgm-TmMkiXkb8iksfm80uvP0iWJt2TzXJz9QwbSXEG0fafUSf2M/s320/Cruise+2009+110.jpg" border=0></A> <A href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNC7ljSxAerzvloCSkgCe9DfybZzYNN6Jy4eOIh1HJ46nsMplhImHrBwaU-nlie0P2weteDv2-NGUIcQNGEIZpyT0-Q2Hwrm60nh0ioNcJaWgw5r1RGPkrLuaC3MdA9YSAlW7ZzA4bJvGw/s1600-h/Cruise+2009+080.jpg"><IMG id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326428828266457346 style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNC7ljSxAerzvloCSkgCe9DfybZzYNN6Jy4eOIh1HJ46nsMplhImHrBwaU-nlie0P2weteDv2-NGUIcQNGEIZpyT0-Q2Hwrm60nh0ioNcJaWgw5r1RGPkrLuaC3MdA9YSAlW7ZzA4bJvGw/s320/Cruise+2009+080.jpg" border=0></A> <A href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk3lH_KmsJuUXlciul1NJ-xznZNsKwfQQSHvKsNSJORRvrt-3gwea_48z7jP1LTQkV-2Jf68Uuw18egq0FeQ4Tst5Vm-bFls0DG9WnifRYLOpXQezi9qCu8hiiQV2NOu1ro5eCoEzLvXnQ/s1600-h/Cruise+2009+120.jpg"><IMG id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326428823569142754 style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk3lH_KmsJuUXlciul1NJ-xznZNsKwfQQSHvKsNSJORRvrt-3gwea_48z7jP1LTQkV-2Jf68Uuw18egq0FeQ4Tst5Vm-bFls0DG9WnifRYLOpXQezi9qCu8hiiQV2NOu1ro5eCoEzLvXnQ/s320/Cruise+2009+120.jpg" border=0></A> <A href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMeh8fpPIxyps-qCESHZTYxNtwEX8nwFt7E5HHECj1CY6z8itvFTyXofYYJUHS2rGOTyKxw0pIp8GQNjRdHI1XJJIG21VLmB_Z1-eT8_XpP4hQvkZH4jkgjI6JZEPTj3pA81pP11JStVhi/s1600-h/Cruise+2009+088.jpg"><IMG id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326428820114878418 style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMeh8fpPIxyps-qCESHZTYxNtwEX8nwFt7E5HHECj1CY6z8itvFTyXofYYJUHS2rGOTyKxw0pIp8GQNjRdHI1XJJIG21VLmB_Z1-eT8_XpP4hQvkZH4jkgjI6JZEPTj3pA81pP11JStVhi/s320/Cruise+2009+088.jpg" border=0></A> <A href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxB-SMDJKfz26q6ol_eqb8vuoxJt1lShUnZAtPje4W1j8P1NOLM-_FbX7GfQxF4AfFf8c94dldsfObB1rhX_JPLXTs9ftLxYDf_-2fadw7SdzzyncgXGMQ4VjUvVvHCzbzTQkkrSuRkcvn/s1600-h/Cruise+2009+112.jpg"><IMG id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326428814979985410 style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxB-SMDJKfz26q6ol_eqb8vuoxJt1lShUnZAtPje4W1j8P1NOLM-_FbX7GfQxF4AfFf8c94dldsfObB1rhX_JPLXTs9ftLxYDf_-2fadw7SdzzyncgXGMQ4VjUvVvHCzbzTQkkrSuRkcvn/s320/Cruise+2009+112.jpg" border=0></A> This was the second Island we stopped at on our Cruise. St. Martin is the smallest Island in the world to be controlled by two powers. Half of the Island is owned by the Dutch and the other half is owned by the French. It was cool to be able to see the 2 different cultures on one Island. When we got to the island we decided to rent a Jeep so we could travel around the island at our own pace. Ryan loved driving the Jeep... I think he misses his Jeep. We drove around to the French side of the island and spent most of the day at Orient Beach. It was BEAUTIFUL! We love white sandy beaches and the water was so clear and blue. We had to be careful what parts of the beach we frequented as you know the French.... clothing optional beaches are common. This island was one of our favorite stops as we were able to para sail. It was awesome to be floating that high over the ocean and take it all in. The water was so clear that from up there we were able to a sea turtle swimming below us. Para sailing is a definite must do if you ever get the chance. Later that day we did some shopping downtown before boarding the ship. What a day!<br /><OBJECT class=BLOG_video_class id=BLOG_video-79257308ab4a2f98 height=266 width=320 contentId="79257308ab4a2f98"></OBJECT>4 Girls and a Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16587127985183400186noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553516323235683960.post-66668212719117495382009-04-17T17:42:00.000-07:002009-04-17T18:03:31.047-07:00"Will Walk for CHOCOLATE"Faith finally started walking on her own tonight.

It was actually really fun to get all dressed up for dinner and eat fancy food. Amanda and I were turning heads everywhere we went on the ship. At first we thought it was because we looked so good (lol) and then we realized that it was because our dresses were so modest. :) I actually wore shade t-shirts under my dresses because they were sleeveless. "Were not in Utah anymore Toto" I guess you probably don't see shirts under Spaghetti straps/sleeveless dresses very often elsewhere? Later that night on the ship they had another Dance party. Ryan was asked to be in a Hula Hoop contest....He thought that since he could do it on the Wii at home with 5 hoops that he could "represent" on the ship....not so much.

It is an island owned by Princess so we had the island all to ourselves (and the other 3492 passengers on the ship) It was a really chill day. They had a bunch of beach activities and a big BBQ. We spent most of the day lounging in the sun listening to the live music played by a few of the locals. Craig and Ryan did some snorkeling while Amanda and I worked on our tans. They were serving drinks in coconut shells carved like monkey heads. I just had to have one!

We woke up and had a great breakfast with the girls. Dad got to hang out with us all morning because his Sunday meetings were cancelled today. We had a great day at Church. There were some great talks given today about the Atonement and the Resurrection. What a blessing each is in our lives. Tonight we had a BBQ with Justin and Michelle's family and Clay, after which we took a nice walk over to the park and enjoyed the beautiful weather.....I hear it is supposed to snow this week. Yikes! Here are some pictures of the girls in their Easter Dresses. As you can see they are pretty camera shy...? :) We hope you had a great Easter Sunday!4 Girls and a Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16587127985183400186noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553516323235683960.post-14493296644427125912009-04-11T18:26:00.000-07:002009-04-11T19:12:04.546-07:00The Love Boat 2009!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjixHH6rqXNL9mQMSrc0MOW2X6qUTtzirSREiZ6_VANlR8TWYNh4op0awz9GhkCo6aqud9G5fJUWgHeGoN-IuiRIfsIOTL818YMoTiQCTKJlBOYJD-sU7f6bZyGBYBeGpVY9TKPgJ4i4SMK/s1600-h/Cruise+2009+011.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjixHH6rqXNL9mQMSrc0MOW2X6qUTtzirSREiZ6_VANlR8TWYNh4op0awz9GhkCo6aqud9G5fJUWgHeGoN-IuiRIfsIOTL818YMoTiQCTKJlBOYJD-sU7f6bZyGBYBeGpVY9TKPgJ4i4SMK/s320/Cruise+2009+011.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323621797512498018" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3yXRxWIO38oDqNgz3RLznPzrAk-g61YCiLqFlg0Rvpr8m2MPiT2Q-Nf2fv5n5lD3OxHCskXmVOKmyfw0O0z0u9xBqjay0kCuqL6V-km_qUfDjn_ouxiguCCw0KRb3AYCc-y4DEw6splz7/s1600-h/Cruise+2009+004.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3yXRxWIO38oDqNgz3RLznPzrAk-g61YCiLqFlg0Rvpr8m2MPiT2Q-Nf2fv5n5lD3OxHCskXmVOKmyfw0O0z0u9xBqjay0kCuqL6V-km_qUfDjn_ouxiguCCw0KRb3AYCc-y4DEw6splz7/s320/Cruise+2009+004.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323621792932271986" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb-M1eZ1wvZz8Q0Pn-G3m_YtWV4UXsziNG4hBAVXSDUb2X8TUUBNVPh-k_nkoyAK_3u-AQqj185dux-KxDkaK217Q4-dm9rUjkM4clYKDhA7ZEULqBUi0Xv7T_N-GiqPL7O43bOxP-PNmO/s1600-h/Cruise+2009+010.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb-M1eZ1wvZz8Q0Pn-G3m_YtWV4UXsziNG4hBAVXSDUb2X8TUUBNVPh-k_nkoyAK_3u-AQqj185dux-KxDkaK217Q4-dm9rUjkM4clYKDhA7ZEULqBUi0Xv7T_N-GiqPL7O43bOxP-PNmO/s320/Cruise+2009+010.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323621788117216850" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjJwN1FHP-evWp1CIMrv1fq4NQVMamlEAFxZ3PQpvNyGJ_lKRF9nmEHO318cbpC-bEWTGRqP9k4qgk5dQYfQXGIibRPjFNYnUcPRYaSy45H-DZ6fdEV3EquBw4QePRERbcqazQLWWpzp4c/s1600-h/Cruise+2009+127.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjJwN1FHP-evWp1CIMrv1fq4NQVMamlEAFxZ3PQpvNyGJ_lKRF9nmEHO318cbpC-bEWTGRqP9k4qgk5dQYfQXGIibRPjFNYnUcPRYaSy45H-DZ6fdEV3EquBw4QePRERbcqazQLWWpzp4c/s320/Cruise+2009+127.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323621781019750274" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdOzigkJVLlPEgggy6Ambzw8n7U4P7z3ZVaZRcKHnTrL-EIt3KSaKHG90nEXtsxQIIp32A4uqvj-Mzet-RxTncRYtg5QB34pU1Cj62WRP9r3CW0UgRttofrPoZ2QtFlxCBgrIC1GyuxWch/s1600-h/Cruise+2009+166.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdOzigkJVLlPEgggy6Ambzw8n7U4P7z3ZVaZRcKHnTrL-EIt3KSaKHG90nEXtsxQIIp32A4uqvj-Mzet-RxTncRYtg5QB34pU1Cj62WRP9r3CW0UgRttofrPoZ2QtFlxCBgrIC1GyuxWch/s320/Cruise+2009+166.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323621775630889426" /></a><br />On March 29th it was our 7th wedding anniversary! To celebrate we went on a cruise with our great friends the Philipps. We went on the Crown Princess and sailed the eastern Caribbean. We left from Fort Lauderdale Florida on Sunday and spent the first day on the ship heading to the Bahamas. We loved the ship! Cruise liners are massive. It it just amazed us that it could even float. There was tons of fun things to do always and not to mention FOOD.... FOOD..... and more FOOD!!!(Right up Ryan's alley) While on the ship they have all types of dance lessons, live music, magic shows, illusionists, comedians, movies, musicals, etc. In the middle on the top Deck of the ship they had a huge Movie screen(movies under the stars) that they showed movies and concerts on. We watched some good movies and the Tina Turner Concert.... man can she shake it for her age!!! We spent a lot of our time during the day on the ship soaking up the sun and sipping on Pina Coladas and Strawberry Daiquiris. Then at night went to a nice sit down dinner (did I mention there was a lot of food?) and then did some dancing. There was a club called Skywalkers on the top deck and we pretty much ended every night up there dancing until 1 in the morning or so. Good times were had by all. Thanks to our Parents for making it possible for us to do this as they took great care of our girls while we were away. It was so nice to get away and celebrate our marriage that started 7 short years ago. It was awesome for us to be on a 10 day date and give each other our undivided attention 24/7 as it is easy to forget what it was like before kids. Stay tuned we plan to blog more on each one of our Island stops real soon.

She is a teacup Maltese. She is 10 weeks old and weighing in at a whopping 2 pounds. Both her Mom and Dad are only 4 pounds so we don't expect her to get too much bigger. The girls absolutely love her, but why wouldn't you? Faith just sits there and grunts at her and trys to rub her face on hers. Tish(our pug) is making it known who is boss, but for the most part has been really patient.

Last year was not a hit for Gracie. The green eggs and pancakes just threw her over the edge! This year they enjoyed it! I guess Addy is getting too big for the dress up?? We could not talk her in to it, but the other two really enjoyed it. Gracie kept saying all day when are we going to the St. Patricks, and I am not really sure what she meant, but we had a fun day. We all dressed up in our green, and I am so bummed because I got a picture of the morning dress up and breakfast, but forgot to get it of all of us in our green. Here are the pictures of the girls dressing up.4 Girls and a Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16587127985183400186noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553516323235683960.post-16271976641110070842009-03-18T15:51:00.000-07:002009-03-18T16:06:33.986-07:00No Cavities ( THANK HEAVENS)The girls had their usual six month check up the other day, and we all know what a traumatizing experience that is for Addy. Gracie does okay, but Addy no. We figured out the hard way after the first visit that we can't mention anything about going until we are on our way there. The poor girl just gets so nervous. She has not had a cavity yet, but we pray every time that she will not have one, because if the checkups are this bad I can't imagine feeling a cavity or something. I took the camera to get some pictures of the experience, but my hands get pretty full with Addy freaking out, Gracie wanting me by her, and Faith needing to be held. I did manage to get a few at a good time, and of course after the visit is over and the dentist has mentioned no cavities a smile.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgruRMYqG06y9MCYux-hNmrTtFnYoHbE10TWuLK06zmpf3-e82s9QWu821ucF4UvyrHTlHzYemEARjgE9dc2jt6lNxGeFFb5RXgdhf-wkaPrfVywxkH3bskThvuRa6uOeZIFz9uhD0IR4Dy/s1600-h/dentiststpatricksday+020.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgruRMYqG06y9MCYux-hNmrTtFnYoHbE10TWuLK06zmpf3-e82s9QWu821ucF4UvyrHTlHzYemEARjgE9dc2jt6lNxGeFFb5RXgdhf-wkaPrfVywxkH3bskThvuRa6uOeZIFz9uhD0IR4Dy/s320/dentiststpatricksday+020.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314667626053672370" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfAfiSuPs0upsA8L-bxp4YIu6ROYXY3ym5h_W-QGoLGtfPUVaPXERUAIOVSO0fZz4CtvGqzJ9WySUKJVN9ijOU3MMd5COhQxYLl-XSRZHVclkFHnLrqBEJ-J3n8ydUMbJasLe-uu7Zu__h/s1600-h/dentiststpatricksday+016.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfAfiSuPs0upsA8L-bxp4YIu6ROYXY3ym5h_W-QGoLGtfPUVaPXERUAIOVSO0fZz4CtvGqzJ9WySUKJVN9ijOU3MMd5COhQxYLl-XSRZHVclkFHnLrqBEJ-J3n8ydUMbJasLe-uu7Zu__h/s320/dentiststpatricksday+016.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314667583201819266" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEBiQAexYh886goZMkQGiWNI6JSAAi8ihzspZeoziLmFwUgJBsGJ0LoRXRe1pok3Athzl41WlLR4RUJTMhYY2co7Lh-ZDlj7dS3Qa5ChSWkKxsEdfote1nXo6v9-Oude19LSFbP5W5wWi0/s1600-h/dentiststpatricksday+012.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEBiQAexYh886goZMkQGiWNI6JSAAi8ihzspZeoziLmFwUgJBsGJ0LoRXRe1pok3Athzl41WlLR4RUJTMhYY2co7Lh-ZDlj7dS3Qa5ChSWkKxsEdfote1nXo6v9-Oude19LSFbP5W5wWi0/s320/dentiststpatricksday+012.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314667580114988050" /></a>4 Girls and a Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16587127985183400186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553516323235683960.post-26294212658603309842009-03-18T15:36:00.000-07:002009-03-18T17:40:37.094-07:00I love to see the Temple.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbTJxCUT9v-FgcQGf5N2xXtnUwq5BhXZmxTX9BY99YQDKdY6NUcClDRzoawFj2HXaw8mmH6oZFF35zafh3vk6m32x8IwFfer1wvtyeeBVaMyjF9E49OiyH9o2aiFoWTqCgwv_xEX4N3tsN/s1600-h/dentiststpatricksday+027.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbTJxCUT9v-FgcQGf5N2xXtnUwq5BhXZmxTX9BY99YQDKdY6NUcClDRzoawFj2HXaw8mmH6oZFF35zafh3vk6m32x8IwFfer1wvtyeeBVaMyjF9E49OiyH9o2aiFoWTqCgwv_xEX4N3tsN/s320/dentiststpatricksday+027.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314691952295065618" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJMkKdrS5q-2zeAtKSsuavSrNXh1acwMJ2a27JyH9dCSK5cwosQDDvWslCyIedndZVU16IholPm0vnTVecmKmNsbbSwYXJN35SUr6kG5x3Za9_D_W9e0ARVeAcYcFaco2S4apdnN8r4Ai8/s1600-h/dentiststpatricksday+026.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJMkKdrS5q-2zeAtKSsuavSrNXh1acwMJ2a27JyH9dCSK5cwosQDDvWslCyIedndZVU16IholPm0vnTVecmKmNsbbSwYXJN35SUr6kG5x3Za9_D_W9e0ARVeAcYcFaco2S4apdnN8r4Ai8/s320/dentiststpatricksday+026.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314691949600953634" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYdhhfDwm19ByfoiOl9zzUvcSTqIRPWdHGDhPt4opezhPAi9Uch9DK2EsclmU8S5pOhZx36tyH5t_iWfvUsrVQ__ZgA801HfVeLfMIVjMTzUx5MucbirK-8LSWHkfbQMrD5VH1msVNPhbT/s1600-h/dentiststpatricksday+027.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYdhhfDwm19ByfoiOl9zzUvcSTqIRPWdHGDhPt4opezhPAi9Uch9DK2EsclmU8S5pOhZx36tyH5t_iWfvUsrVQ__ZgA801HfVeLfMIVjMTzUx5MucbirK-8LSWHkfbQMrD5VH1msVNPhbT/s320/dentiststpatricksday+027.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314691939960296402" /></a><br />We took the girls to the Draper Temple open house last week. It was such a neat feeling to have our whole family in the temple together! What a blessing that Families can be together Forever! The girls thought it was pretty neat, and had plenty of questions. They both mentioned the celestial room and the brides rooms were their favorites. Afterwards we went to eat and get desert. I love my little family so much and always love those fun memorable family times.4 Girls and a Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16587127985183400186noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553516323235683960.post-67673833256877419772009-03-10T09:59:00.000-07:002009-03-10T19:12:24.246-07:00Girls WeekendI have had the opportunity twice in the last month and a half to go down to St. George to run races, and have a girls weekend. We had such a great time! It was really nice to get away, and get a break! I think that is only the second or third time I have ever been a way over night with out any of my kids. I love them to death, but we all now how much an occasional break is needed. Anyway the one this last weekend was a like a small Wasatch Back. Instead of 178 miles from Logan to Park City, it was only 50 miles. There were 5 of us, and we each ran two legs ranging from 4-6 miles. We ended up taking third, and doing a lot better then we thought we would. It was there first year doing this race, so they definitely need to make some improvements like better signs showing directions (I ended up taking a little detour on one of my runs, and getting a little lost), but all in all it was fun and I would consider doing it again! Here are a few pictures of the trip.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFr9ImRCQa6H9rorE6NkPOA5wUuKxxOl7YSfg4LSSqWHqqB16irR8YIa3XNsRpv9W4VABfEAtRC2s4D-o4m6JdDwdsNFIqWffURS_5IrtN-R54kKfgs708R65s36YF9OnDKfe8_Lu_RA_f/s1600-h/girls+weekend+018.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFr9ImRCQa6H9rorE6NkPOA5wUuKxxOl7YSfg4LSSqWHqqB16irR8YIa3XNsRpv9W4VABfEAtRC2s4D-o4m6JdDwdsNFIqWffURS_5IrtN-R54kKfgs708R65s36YF9OnDKfe8_Lu_RA_f/s320/girls+weekend+018.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311613241915798258" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlSJptfcq1xAuhLmsT1_tPzCgogJyFL4KnoBNtYwXP_vRwPGfzD0uciPhJCQHzXfL5NGq31iGRdB08icMqP7d8qc5HupYeVGrkimK3d3TepN5w0pO_hTT1Oyh1zVxOFT1X76MSTZeOwD2o/s1600-h/girls+weekend+016.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlSJptfcq1xAuhLmsT1_tPzCgogJyFL4KnoBNtYwXP_vRwPGfzD0uciPhJCQHzXfL5NGq31iGRdB08icMqP7d8qc5HupYeVGrkimK3d3TepN5w0pO_hTT1Oyh1zVxOFT1X76MSTZeOwD2o/s320/girls+weekend+016.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311613231973860642" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi49ewXz63M8A0GAGNwsBChVA_hJGm7G-JTKNKJtKsB-WBA1mlS5KpzENHPEDVaoHJZ3iq1jLA0MtFdmg-IezKJlWdUJ6kFOdP5-PCaCRbTpEW2-KaII-T9b-o_6nK-JHPFJ_RuKq262ma3/s1600-h/girls+weekend+015.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi49ewXz63M8A0GAGNwsBChVA_hJGm7G-JTKNKJtKsB-WBA1mlS5KpzENHPEDVaoHJZ3iq1jLA0MtFdmg-IezKJlWdUJ6kFOdP5-PCaCRbTpEW2-KaII-T9b-o_6nK-JHPFJ_RuKq262ma3/s320/girls+weekend+015.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311613228826950514" /></a>4 Girls and a Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16587127985183400186noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553516323235683960.post-17143795792501350562009-03-02T20:44:00.001-08:002009-03-03T08:15:38.883-08:00Precious MomentsToday was one of those days! Along with every little thing going wrong that could have the girls had been fighting constantly, and Faith had been crying the majority of the day due to double ear infections. Well anyway I had had it, and was telling the girls it was time for bed. They proceeded to throw fits and say "we have a surprise, we have a surprise" I decided to just see what exactly they had, and lets just say I melted! <br /> They had set up a dinner for two right in front of the stage. We were getting dinner for two and a show. The plates were made out of type paper. They had pretend food set out, the table was the dress up box, and they had rounded up some flowers for the center. What a date! Sometimes kids just know what we need don't they? I am thankful for my girls and for the opportunity I have to be a mom. Here are some pictures of the dinner and some videos of the show (and I love their music selection, if only it could stay this way through the teenage years).<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi83_XA2rGuQkH-rKshbFWMhFDxE7V7zR45jsdLMYpGgA9e8Rz24v87dH3Lje978dqyYzHW-FKmLfZbHVwmw6hqG4R4vk0028M40wM4d_1AqKZRiRCQzbo8kx3pkqXJ7nmHHzRzj2jK70mJ/s1600-h/dinner+for+two+003.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi83_XA2rGuQkH-rKshbFWMhFDxE7V7zR45jsdLMYpGgA9e8Rz24v87dH3Lje978dqyYzHW-FKmLfZbHVwmw6hqG4R4vk0028M40wM4d_1AqKZRiRCQzbo8kx3pkqXJ7nmHHzRzj2jK70mJ/s320/dinner+for+two+003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308819956065373858" border="0"></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5TbTw2RqomWUY3WebX__yKlhZuR4_rYOQevfd3mhruOmwDKaeAwY-32Lxhtv8rh6UUkY2ZxmX0g_US9sqcrlhl8cy_gdyy84jTZABK1ejTwJbb7K_S-YFN0E9DapacYZC1XfgLspN6T2F/s1600-h/dinner+for+two+006.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5TbTw2RqomWUY3WebX__yKlhZuR4_rYOQevfd3mhruOmwDKaeAwY-32Lxhtv8rh6UUkY2ZxmX0g_US9sqcrlhl8cy_gdyy84jTZABK1ejTwJbb7K_S-YFN0E9DapacYZC1XfgLspN6T2F/s320/dinner+for+two+006.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308819953958697634" border="0"></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHy8JY9jGCB_aBgIfu2SYFsfAKiUU172yLxVwEOpWuz3qu2YbfIivwULsG2V77O_YVaENc8dwjKOP1F54svn_NIH6pFIzCP4VXl1dSjpxaKxoWewGfYawSn7Lriy7_aGjsfJodNDOGf3U-/s1600-h/dinner+for+two+002.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHy8JY9jGCB_aBgIfu2SYFsfAKiUU172yLxVwEOpWuz3qu2YbfIivwULsG2V77O_YVaENc8dwjKOP1F54svn_NIH6pFIzCP4VXl1dSjpxaKxoWewGfYawSn7Lriy7_aGjsfJodNDOGf3U-/s320/dinner+for+two+002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308819949966206082" border="0"></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxH16YPP5YOs4Q-A5Y2tLro_casZPKTHdK0dIFPUkX_FY1Lbv-46LPNqE2vupFkSdLGLasI9iyNdIUwvvi7P7eyRB2de6isQN1nHRlTxCUhRgft7Hnojm9PF28IYCeNNg3FPQC6KoC9bLQ/s1600-h/dinner+for+two+001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxH16YPP5YOs4Q-A5Y2tLro_casZPKTHdK0dIFPUkX_FY1Lbv-46LPNqE2vupFkSdLGLasI9iyNdIUwvvi7P7eyRB2de6isQN1nHRlTxCUhRgft7Hnojm9PF28IYCeNNg3FPQC6KoC9bLQ/s320/dinner+for+two+001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308819943735707442" border="0"></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzh5lHjEYiGXkQiVLTyuMFfAT8oQKzoPeBbuEN8l0Lh_HeF9YrOl8JXMrIcslqjWPeODV5pGnvgjerQfdjUAw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwZY3KvEaYcpOaUBNhFwpkYIcwjJGWMIdfZHCiZ-mEZeManCDL_GqgEuB-UdZuiEj5t4AwD5Y4CxvaZviRgIg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>4 Girls and a Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16587127985183400186noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553516323235683960.post-7203258954603307932009-02-21T17:36:00.000-08:002009-02-21T17:45:55.793-08:00Day With The GirlsToday I took the girls to the spa to get their toes done. It was their Christmas present to me. We had a lot of fun! It was nice to spend some quality time with them, and I think they really enjoyed it! I was bummed that I forgot my cameras because I could have gotten some funny pictures. Gracie was really relaxed and enjoying herself. At one point she turned to me and said "isn't this the greatest mom?" She was making me laugh the whole time. Then there was Addy who was eating it up. That is just right up her alley. She was just smiling from ear to ear the whole time, but didn't say much. It is so fun to be able to do things like this with my girls. Hopefully we will do it again soon, and i can get some pictures.4 Girls and a Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16587127985183400186noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553516323235683960.post-55847593987360618502009-02-21T17:13:00.000-08:002009-02-21T17:49:04.305-08:00Big Day For Addy<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcKAKRzkIiiLVJM5bRxW_LsUX_h6dVadTu_5CpGWs8ssVrjHihC6Outl02dC8LvjRd-2NqVgAbcuP5kY3TQrN7JbSf9lKfqjW205s4N-UDXvIIllRJJfyIO8XXbCGFq71FwlOL1wJYvcGk/s1600-h/Addy+violin+graduation+014.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcKAKRzkIiiLVJM5bRxW_LsUX_h6dVadTu_5CpGWs8ssVrjHihC6Outl02dC8LvjRd-2NqVgAbcuP5kY3TQrN7JbSf9lKfqjW205s4N-UDXvIIllRJJfyIO8XXbCGFq71FwlOL1wJYvcGk/s320/Addy+violin+graduation+014.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305432801255758978" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBtVx3yvkDCXGmsvHON4fsBOwRGzC1RjUdSng2CwJSQNiKI8aMYttb7FWwtMAOznyFntPJdLpX2nRfNbllrngN4qTea8XEkXj1ph_lOFUfBgNCt26vkq9cROvYFc9Z9pa0_DUnuUS45vMR/s1600-h/Addy+violin+graduation+011.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBtVx3yvkDCXGmsvHON4fsBOwRGzC1RjUdSng2CwJSQNiKI8aMYttb7FWwtMAOznyFntPJdLpX2nRfNbllrngN4qTea8XEkXj1ph_lOFUfBgNCt26vkq9cROvYFc9Z9pa0_DUnuUS45vMR/s320/Addy+violin+graduation+011.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305428901899557426" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCk-IT06evtxJpGhxAr5aqb6kp-dtHeC473SCffXEXbkyt-2-6u_ijIIFiMXU0uTkdLF7dWzzZOM23FtVbdfgH8YPx6xG_K1ucZThXq8J5un0aITCyJ4w4Co45Qru_S66-YmDrRNJ0u_P_/s1600-h/Addy+violin+graduation+017.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCk-IT06evtxJpGhxAr5aqb6kp-dtHeC473SCffXEXbkyt-2-6u_ijIIFiMXU0uTkdLF7dWzzZOM23FtVbdfgH8YPx6xG_K1ucZThXq8J5un0aITCyJ4w4Co45Qru_S66-YmDrRNJ0u_P_/s320/Addy+violin+graduation+017.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305428903443523282" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx4VabsaSLNVAU4ctWhyg5J4aYSkmCda2aAuRbixrfXnDQsp5QDwl1gWCQTgjF9gbU8unATr2ysg9p6doTyaRswMBmNT8JgmRe_1j6GFkkXQzznbUOagVyFiBlkFTeiG53E9R-BX4h7UbD/s1600-h/Addy+violin+graduation+020.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx4VabsaSLNVAU4ctWhyg5J4aYSkmCda2aAuRbixrfXnDQsp5QDwl1gWCQTgjF9gbU8unATr2ysg9p6doTyaRswMBmNT8JgmRe_1j6GFkkXQzznbUOagVyFiBlkFTeiG53E9R-BX4h7UbD/s320/Addy+violin+graduation+020.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305428901115311490" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPq5vp4AS9wCkxknj2y7G4WGUPKfvSMLUq9m20hfYo5NXWV4Q0aAQ6fIS5kSjKbpo3jpmZgk6abiK173p-MU9nuQ7ntYKmnL1_S513iYKe6sfnQiAIImzl4PWYgEeQNgrTJEh77xWxfX5G/s1600-h/Addy+violin+graduation+018.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPq5vp4AS9wCkxknj2y7G4WGUPKfvSMLUq9m20hfYo5NXWV4Q0aAQ6fIS5kSjKbpo3jpmZgk6abiK173p-MU9nuQ7ntYKmnL1_S513iYKe6sfnQiAIImzl4PWYgEeQNgrTJEh77xWxfX5G/s320/Addy+violin+graduation+018.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305428895074160050" /></a><br /> Today was a big day for Addy. She graduated from the first stage of her violin book. She did so good! There was a lot of people there, and it was her first time up on stage in a big auditorium. I think she got some of her moms nerves, but I think if she does it enough she will get over it. We are so proud of her! She has worked so hard the past six months, and she has accomplished a lot. We love you Addy! Keep up the good work.4 Girls and a Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16587127985183400186noreply@blogger.com2
