Escondido, Ca

Thanks to Pop and Granny, we spent another great week in Escondido at the Lawrence Welk resort. We hung out at the pool a lot and Payton was able to go on the waterslide this year, so that made him feel very grown up and happy. We went to California Adventure and Sydney Kate got to have lunch with the princesses at Ariel's Grotto. What a treat. Mike says I liked it more than the kids :) Thanks to Pop and Dama Dama for setting that up! We also got to spend time with Blake & Mikelle which is always fun. Thanks for the hospitality! The beach was fun as always. Now we are home and back in the saddle, so to speak. Sydney is working on using her new Dora Potty (she's 1/3 today, shucks) and Payton is helping me by doing his jobs. Hope all is well with you wherever you are. love xoxo.

Happy Birthday to my Mike...

Morton's for crab cakes, steak & chocolate godiva...it's becoming a tradition for Mike's birthday. This year was especially nice because we got to share it with our two wonderful friends Steve & Hailey who also have birthdays this week. It was a nice dinner together. Happy Birthday Honey!

Birthday gift

Ok, so I had to show the world Mike's most favorite birthday gift from his dear Granny. If you can't tell, it's a banana holder...a must have for everyone, I say! Simply Priceless!

Just want to say that I love this guy. XOXOXO Dad.

Idaho 2007

Our trip to Idaho was a lot of fun! We caravanned with Schilds which was a lot of fun :) We had birthday breakfast for my mom at Kate's house and then we headed to Idaho. It was a fun filled week: Caroline & Sean blessed their sweet baby June, Bear World, Fishing at the cabin, lots of hamburgers & hotdogs, roasting marshmallows, playing with cousins, aunts & uncles, fourth of July celebrations, getting to hang out with the Schilds, Man vs. Wild, fireworks, hot tubbing, eating out, sleeping in the trailer at the RV Park, and spending time with our family. We had a great trip and even though I think Pop & Dama Dama are in debt considering the amount of "stuff" our kids took from their store, the kids absolutely LOVED it. We enjoyed ourselves and are thankful for our lodging & food at Amy's (seriously, thank you!) It is nice to be out of the car and home at last, even though I'm barely sifting through the laundry! love you all, miss you already!
