shock of all shocks...a new post!

I'm back. I know there's no real good excuse for being 6 months absent from the blogging world...but my computer has been broken and I have been major busy. That's it. The blessed computer is up and running again and I have come to a realization that I am not ever going to not be major busy, so I must just deal and move on. I know I have a lot to catch up on, surely a few pictures to go along with the festivities, but most of the pictures will have to wait. Lots has happened in our busy lives since we left our hearts in San Francisco ;) Here's a few:

New nephew and trip to Utah

swimming lessons
Let's Play Music recital

Avery turned 2!

end of 1st grade for Payton

Visit from Aunt Kate & Arleigh Bug

time with extended family in Idaho

new puppy {Little Ann...and yes, hell may have frozen over}

2 trips to Disneyland

new church calling {we'll talk about that one later}

I turned the big 3-0!

baby shower for a dear friend

Sydney turned 5!

and that's what you missed on Glee :)

30th Birthday warm butter cake and dinner @ Mastro's. {maybe if I stop eating warm butter cake, my arms won't look so large?} yummo!

You'll have to turn your head on this one but thought I would share Miguel's creative side ;)

There is much more to be said but I have fallen asleep twice writing this post. ta-ta! xoxo
