The Blessing in my life..............

Why in life is it so much easier to focus on all the hard stuff? 
 I have so many blessings in my life
1.  My heavenly father that loves me no matter what.
2.  My wonderful husband that listens to me rant and rave about anything and everything and still loves me.
3.  Meghan who is working so hard to get through her last year of high school and beauty school at the same time.  I just love how determined she is and what a hard worker she has become.  She is awesome.
4.  Allie always willing to try something new and never is afraid.  Always willing to help someone in need.  And her love of books.  
5.  Logan he makes me laugh.  I love how he has a sweet personality and how reserved he can be. Always the one to stand in the back and watch until he feels safe. 
 
6.  Grace has the best smile and facial expresssions, shse loves books, music and she loves to dance.  She is very smart and such a happy baby.  
7.  My parents are the best.  They have always supported me in my life even at times maybe they didn't understand why I was doing what I was doing.  They are both such amazing people and they have so much to offer my children.  I love all they add to my children's life.  They are the best. 
8.  Troy (my brother) is such a cool guy and has amazing qualities.  Never afraid of the unknown.  He is a wonderful father.  He is there for me whenever I need him.
These are some of the blessings in my life and I do think of them everyday.  Thank you all for letting me learn and grow eachday with you.  I love you all from the bottom of my heart.

Post It Notes

Over the summer Meghan and her friends started messing with the some of the guys they hand out with.  They would mark on the cars with window markers and they put skittle candy and confetti all over the front yards.  What a mess that would be to clean up.  
So it looks like the guys finally got Meg back.  For some reason I looked out the window early one morning and this is what I saw.  Her car with post its all over.  I just laughed and then I went into her room and let her know what the guys did to her car and she went back to sleep until I went back a little while later because now the wind has picked up outside and was blowing them all over the neighborhood.  Her and her girlfriend got up half asleep with bags in hand trying to stay ahead of the wind cleaning this up.  
Good Times!!!!!

Beaver Creek Summer 2008

This summer we went to Beaver Creek, Co.  What a blast we had.  Beaver Creek is about 20 minutes past Vail, Co.  it is in a valley right next to the mountain.   This is some of the most beautiful country I have ever seen.  We stayed at the Hyatt Mountain Lodge what a great hotel.
We even got to bring Tim's neice Cassidy with us.  Allie and Cass spend a week together each summer so we timed it that she could come with us to Colorado and then we sent them both to California (Cassidy's home) for a week.  These kids have it hard.  We had a blast together.  Tim, Allie and Casssidy spent one day rafting a very cold river.  But they had a great time.  I have pictures I will put in as soon as I figure out where they are.  
Another day we all took a bike ride to another little town about 45 minutes away on a bike each way. The ride back was a little tougher.  Logan almost didn't make it but, he held on and made it. Tough guy.  Here are some pictures of what everyone did when we got to the park that we biked to.  Fun Times.  
While we were on vacation Gracie turned "One."  Here are some pictures of her just hanging out .  She is just the coolest baby. We are having a blast with her.  She is walking and talking. Really starting to understand most of what we tell and ask her.  And of course she is so dang cute.  She is sleeping on her own now.  Loves her daddy so much.  She just lights up when her daddy walks in the room.  Happy Birthday little girl.  Love you.  
I would go back to Beaver Creek anytime.  It was a awsome vacation and something Tim and I really needed.  Thanks to my dear husband for always going with the flow with this crazy group of ours.  Your the best.
