Hello Ya'll!

Just givin a lil update! Things are going good. We have been spending a lot of time at "the bay" and we love it out there. Cordel and Shane go fishing almost every weekend. We just celebrated Father's Day with a big BBQ and all of Shane's family. It was a fun day. I just finished up my Scrapbook Club, and I am happy to have a bit of a break until we start up again in September. We were finally able to go steelhead fishing this year with our good friends The Austins. Although the weather was CRAPPY and I was SICK, we had a good time anyway. Sydnie turned one in March and shortly thereafter came down with a staff infection!! Poor Girl! She is ok now, walkin', talkin', and sassin her Mama! Cordel is still going to pre-school which he LOVES! He also totally loves his sis, which I think is SO cute. We all had a nice visit with Tyllan (my nephew from Florida). We miss him very much! I am trying to get my scrapbooks caught up-- I've been neglecting them for a while because I found a new little addiction. The Twilight Series by Stephanie Meyer. You may have heard of them? I totally love these books, so much so that I bought them all in hardcover and have #4 on pre-order! I can't wait to get it! As always, I know I need to update more, but as always I probably won't! LOL! I will give it my best shot tho! Take care!

Still Alive!!

(Christmas Morning 2007)

Okay, I know I've been missing in action for quite a while, but gosh, I just can't seem to stay on top of things! It's not so much that my life is crazy or too busy, but more that my days fly by in a blink! So a nut shell update--- We spent most of the summer at Seagull Bay in our 5th wheel playing and relaxin in the sun. Cordel started preschool in September. My scrappin club started meeting again in September too. Sydnie has gone from "somewhat difficult baby" to "easiest baby in the world"--I swear sometimes she's so good I forget about her! My best friend had a baby in September (her third), and completely re-affirmed my decision to stop at 2!! I don't know how anyone can do more than that, but hats off to those of you who do! Thanksgiving came and went. Twice. (we celebrate 2 times in my family because my cousin Sean manages a Tommy Hilfiger Store in CO and has no vacation between Thanksgiving and New Years, so he comes early to see us here in Idaho) And Christmas was a whirlwind of parties, parades, fireworks, presents, and food, food, food!! Whew! New Years Eve was just another night for us! In bed at 10 if you can believe that!! HAHA! Lookin forward to another great year and still wishing life had a "pause" button! Or at least a "slow down" option! Thanks for readin!

Fun in the Sun

We (mom, me, Cordel, Tyllan, Jacob, C.J., and Hannah) went to Lava Hot Springs a couple weekends ago and had a blast! Cordel went crazy once he got used to the water, jumpin off the side into our arms and going down the slide. The 2 oldest boys had a blast jumpin off the diving board. I got this great shot of Jacob jumpin off the side and making a big splash! Although we had to cut our trip a little short because Cordel fell off the slide (6 feet on his head onto the concrete-yes he's fine), we had a really good time.

The Happy Couple
