Long time coming.....

It has been so long I would be surprised if anyone looks at this thing anymore. I have had a very busy last few years as we all have. Moving from Tx to Ok then from Ok to Phx. Husband retired, we had a baby, moved, bought a house, and sold a house, had several surgeries etc.... I promise to try to keep you updated with the craziness of our life.. I will just start with the most recent and then work from there. This past weekend was Easter and we were able to go to the temple for the Easter Pageant, and can I say so beautiful. Our Savior lives and how wonderful it is to know that we will see him again. >

Legoland 2011

After the Graduation/Party was over it was time for vacation with the family... My mom was very generous and gave us one of her time-shares, so off to California we went for some family fun... We decided that our children are a perfect age to go to Legoland... All three of them were able to ride EVERY ride in the theme park..





We had to get a picture with Spongebob... The second day we went to The Sea Life exhibit, and it was so Awesome!! They really made this part of the park an underwater site to see...

Austin and Katelynn look so cool in this tunnel of fish...
My Bloggie takes really good pictures.. This one is my favorite with the colors so vibrant...

Look very closely and you can see the eggs(The white stuff) this Octopus has laid.. Did you know that when the eggs hatch the Momma Octopus dies...She protects her eggs till they are born, and then they are off on their own...
The kids thought that was so sad...
We had so much fun, and the kids were so happy. Before we left to come home we went to the beach for a little bit of wave action.

Graduation!!!

We are so proud of James and all his accomplishments... The last few years he has been constantly striving to complete his Bachelor of science in Management. In July we were able to go home to Phx. and watch him walk on stage and recieve his diploma!!! What a wonderful day filled with family and friends that came to cheer him on and give their support.. I am grateful to my family for helping me with the party and the success of the surprise!! We love you James and we look forward to what retirement will lead us...

Moving!!!

Yes it is finally here... Moving to Oklahoma is coming together all at the last minute. I am hoping to get my life back in a few weeks, and update... So for now I hope you all are doing good and you except this quick update...

Birthdays...

As I sit here contemplating a post I can't help but think of the many post that have not made it... I know it is May(the end of May, but still May)and we have had two Birthdays so far this year. Austin turned 7 in February and Savannah 5 in April... We were able to celebrate with two Awesome Parties.. First Austin had to have a Mario Party which made me think outside the box for... His Mario cake turned out fantastic, and the party was great! Daddy was able to be here for the boy party which I was thrilled about considering he has way more boy power than me... Hee Hee!!!
Grammy took us all out for Austin's Birthday!
Savannah begged and begged for a sleep over which turned out to be a blast.. A few of her friends did not stay, but Gabriella and Savannah loved pitching a tent and sleeping in sleeping bags... Playing dress, painting fingers and toes,dressing up and putting on her Make-up.. Grammy was here to help mommy not go crazy which I did not.. I can do girl parties pretty good.. :o) The theme for this party was Stars... So we treating them like stars... I have to say her cake was phenomenal.. I think it might be one of my best.. I am so excited to one day take a decorating class and actually know what I am doing... My kiddo's are growing WAY too fast for my liking, so I am definitely trying to take in everyday with them... School is almost over and I can't wait for the next chapter.....
Nannah's Birthday outfit she had to have... It's so super cute how could I say NO...

Just plain silly!!!

I feel as if I am so behind on posting, and just keeping up with life in gerneral lately.... We have had a pretty fun couple of months...Birthday's... Parties... Movies... Here are some fun picture's of the kiddo's in action...

Katelynn's scare!

A few months ago I get a call from the school telling me that Katelynn passed out at school during p.e.... I also found out that it was a day or two before they called me... The school nurse had been absent and the sub didn't think to call me that my daughter passed out... What??? Talking with the nurse we decided to take her into the ER and get her tested... After getting an IV and an EKO gram, they could not find anything to warrant her passing out. They think it was just a dip in her sugar, so we are at a loss and just watching her more...She was not a happy camper...
