Our trip

OK here is a recap of our trip. Sunday July 12th we left Vegas at about 12:30 am. Drove to my parents . stayed there until Thursday morning. Flew to Rochester, NY. went to Brian and Beth Aparo's house that night, did Pageant the next night, Robin's wedding was on sat. Sunday was Church and Church sites, Monday we flew back to CO. Tues we went and say my grandparents. Michelle came and played with us. We also saw Becca and her kids (and Sarah). then on Wed we drove home. It was nice to be home but we were not so happy with the heat!!!

This was the first photo of the trip. Way too cute and this is the reason why we choose to drive at night. It makes the trip so much easier.

While at my parents we went to the "north Pole" Perfect park for my kids. They loved it and I even got a little queasy on a ride.

I think Jed likes it what do you think?

They picked me so flowers

At the Hill Cumorah trying to pass the time until it started. they were in Heaven. Running around and around and around.

On the way home. Will was the only one who stayed up for the whole performance.




My kids did not want to leave Sis Clark's house. they loved riding the bikes outside. Oh to be able to do this during the summer.

Will wanted Chris to ride too. Here he is showing off his manly bike.

Getting ready for the wedding. The kids did great. They looked awesome, I am not biased.

This was the best family photo we got. Too bad because the kids looked soooo good.





At the reception

Scar and I

Shannon P and Myself

Me and Annmarie . . . yes siblings start singing the song.

And here is Robin. She looked amazing!!!

At the Sacred Grove

A few years ago, 4 to be exact we took a photo of Will climbing up "the hill" we got one of each one doing it again.

A nice man at the top took a photo for us.

Will after eating "a small" ice cream cone. All of you who know the size of the small will know what I'm talking about. it is about 8 inches off the cone.

The old house. Still looks the same, with a lot more tree growth.

Jed's new favorite food. OREOs

Nuff said

Playing in the tree's at G&G's

All in all we had a wonderful time. This was the first vacation I was not really ready to come home. But we are back to the reality of life.

Chris flew up to Seattle the Thursday we got back and ran another Ragnar race with Kris my sister. They both did great!!!

Our Anniversary!!!

Tomorrow (7th) is our 8th Anniversary!!! I cannot believe it has been 8 years!!!! Wow. What an amazing time it has been. Here are 8 of my favorite things about the last 8 years

1. Spending time with Chris. That is why we got married because we love to be together. I love to be with him more today than I did then.

2. Our great family!!! I love our kids and our family. I am so glad that I got/will continue to raise our family together.

3. Chris surprising me with a sewing machine for Christmas.

4. The day he got a "gun shot wound to the head" We found out we were pregnant with Will.

5. Each an every time we had a kid. It is amazing the amount of love he has for each of these kids the instant he see's them.

6. Watching him play with the kids. From the beginning we have had wrestling, dodge ball, tossing in the air, pillow fighting and having a great time

7. Walking around the track at the gym. For the last 2 years we end our workout by walking around the track talking, spending time together without kids. This is the best part of my workout.

8. Waking up every morning next to Chris. I love you more and more each day.

hopefully I can figure out our scanner so I can post so photos of this great day!!! 7/7/01

tomorrow night we are going to see Phantom of the Opera. I am so excited. Chris not so much but, this is how I know he loves me.
