So I have two minutes to write this since I'm using my Dad's office computer so I have to make this really quick, but I'm so sorry to ALL.... we are unfortunately computer-inabled right now at my parents because my parents have 150,000 blockers on their computer due to a teenage son, so I can't get any of your pages to come up, nor can I post mine because I can't see what I'm doing, I just get a lot of weird symbols, so to all of you who have posted a note I'm so sorry, hopefully we'll be renting a house here really soon and then we can get our computers out of storage and I can go to "Blog-Town." (Yes, that is official terminology) In the mean time, please know that this lack of blogging is not my usual loser, really bad at keeping in touch thing....I promise!!!!
I love you all!

Grandma's House....Need I say more?!?

Cruisin' n Lovin' Life!!

So me and Josias had sooooo much fun on our cruise! The first day we felt guilty for leaving our kids and missed them like crazy...but by day 2 we were loving life and enjoying time together so much! You can forget how much crazy fun you have together when life and family and school and work get in the way! We had a blast and it was fun to not have a care in the world! By the last day we missed our kids again like crazy and were ready to come home, if only we could somehow live in a parallel universe or something.....?....or something.....As you can see by the picture of Aiden, he didn't have much time to miss his mom and poppy when Grandma was around! Grandma's house is the funnest and this is a FACT! In case you don't already know, we are currently living with my mom and dad because we have moved to Prescott, AZ!!!! Crazy, huh? We never thought we would actually move back, but we feel this is where we should be and even though there were other offers for Josias outside of Prescott that looked better initially, the Lord showed us He had a different plan for us (as is usually the case) and we feel blessed to have His guiding hand in our lives! Seriously, what would we do without the gospel, I'm a wreck as it is with the moving and finding a place to live, etc.. etc... I can't even imagine what it would be like if I didn't know this was the right place for us! I think you would find me in Grandma's dress up clothes crying at the bottom of the driveway passing out go-gurts to passers by! Yep, I'm pretty sure that would be the case!!! Love you all!!!!!!

Quick Pics!!!

Okay, so sorry it's been forever...we've been on vacation and I haven't had a chance but our hotel has internet so I thought I would post some quick pictures from our family trip to San Diego, Sea World, etc... Now the kids are with my parents and me and Josias are about to go get on the ship for our CRUISE!!!! Oh serenity now!!!!! WE NEED THIS! We are soooo excited, but I already miss my sweet kids like crazy!!!! (I just have to remind myself of the days that I wish I was on an island somewhere without children....I finally will be!) Love you all!!!!

CONGRATS POPPY!!!!

Josias, We are sooo, soooo, soooo proud of you!!!! "Congratulations" doesn't even come close to what I want to say to you! I am so proud of you, you have worked so very, very hard for our family and we love and appreciate all of your hard work so very much! Can you believe we finally graduated people?!? I would have never thought that six and 1/2 years after I graduated my husband would be graduating!! (that's what you get for marrying a younger man!) Even though it took a while, it has definitely been worth it and we have been so blessed and so happy through all of this! I want my sweet husband to know how much I love him and how proud I am of him! You are a wonderful example to me and our children and I can't imagine a better or happier life! I LOVE YOU!!!!

Wanna be ballerina!!

I just wanted to share with y'all my new passion as of Tuesday! It's official....I'm a wanna be ballerina! You think I'm joking, but SERIOUSLY...I played this week with the orchestra for the Nutcracker and the dancers that came were AMAZING! Supposedly they are the best company in the West, and they were soooooo good! In fact, they were so good that I would peek up from the orchestra pit and try to watch them and because I had turned into a wanna be ballerina I would get lost in watching them and even missed my solo once (quite embarassing, but luckily it wasn't a night performance, we were playing for the schools)....ANYWHOO...I really really want to take ballet and I've come home every night from the performance trying to dance and spin in my living room and I really think I could do it with a lot and a lot and a lot of lessons! How many ballerinas do you know that begin their career at the ripe old age of 29?!? Any takers? Anyone want to rise to the top of the ballet world with me?! Come on, you know you want to!!!!

Christmas in Hawaii!

So we had soooo much fun this week at the ward christmas party! We had a hawaiin party with hawaiin haystacks, dancers, music and Santa and it was so nice to pretend that we were partying hawaiin style while it was snowing outside! I've been wanting to do a Christmas party like this for a couple years (you all know how I feel about the blasted cold), but unfortunately my committee wasn't on board last year...but I got lucky this year and everyone was excited about it! Even though we had a great time, I am soooo glad this it is over. I'm finally done with all the holiday activities for at least a couple of months....joy of joys!!!! Aiden and Olivia were so excited to get up and learn to hula. I'm not quite sure they learned how to hula exactly...but they did a GREAT job of standing on the stage!!! FUN TIMES!
