Emily's May Horseshow

May 10, 2008

This is Emily's 4th year in 4-H and she is just getting better and better. Her confidence is very high and she has the patterns memorized. I am hoping by the end of this year I will be brave enough to let her try the events by herself at teh shows. She did a great job at the show and had a happy cheerful attitude the entire day. I am so proud of her!

Spencer's May Horseshow

May 10, 2008

This was our first horse show of the year. It went GREAT! We had a really fun time and were done by noon! That has never happenend. The highlight of the show for me was Spencer doing halter! He is only 4 years old and he remembered when to move right everytime! I am so proud!

A little airport fix

May 4, 2008
Kathi and Joshie came through town so I was able to go out to the airport and visit and play with Josh. It has been way too long! But since Kath does such a great job at her blog I feel like I am watching him grow up in person. It was so exciting to hear him jabber and tell us what was what! I brought some snacks and toys and Josh is so civilized that he made a plate out of the frisby. Very impressive!

Yachats, Oregon... A little slice of Heaven

April 24th thru April 27th 2008

This has got to be one of the most amazing trips that I have ever taken!!! I flew into Portland, Oregon, Kathi came and picked me up and then we were off to Yahats, Oregon for a scrapbooking Retreat! We stopped in Newport and had a delicious dinner. The two pictures of us on the Pier were right after dinner. We stayed in a three story beach house and were totally pampered by Maggie and Kyla the retreat hostesses. We Scrapbooked our heads off, laughed, ate, enjoyed the ocean and mostly enjoyed each others company! We already booked to come back in October because it was so much fun!!! This was the best way to rejuvinate myself to get back into life when I got home. My kids seemed bigger when I got back... is that possible in just 4 days hahaha. I am ready to go back tomorrow though. It really was an amazing trip!

Emily's EEG

April 8, 2008
It had been a year since Emily had her last EEG so it was time for a repeat. We kept her up until the very early AM so that she would fall asleep for the half hour that they record her brain waves. She did a great job and fell asleep almost on command. It was tough getting her to wake up. After we woke her up she had to blow on a pinwheel for three full minutes which would have been hard for me to do while half asleep. We ate lunch in the cafeteria afterwards. What a trooper!

Our Trip to San Diego and Disney

Two trips in one month! here are some pictures from our trip to Sea World and the Wild Animal Park in San Diego
We got to see the actual donkey who starred in the 2004 superbowl commercial. So Cute!

Spencer and Travis

Dead Sexy Walrus!!!

Emily feeding one of the cute birdies at the wild animal park, they drank nectar from a little cup. That was a lot of fun!

Disney With Best Friends

CrAzY hAt TiMe!!!

It was such a perfect vacation!!!! Spencer and Em had brother sister fights but it was so minimal because they had their best friends Kaylee and Danielle to play with. The weather was beautiful and we had a blast!!! The only thing that could have made it better would have been for Kenny to be there.
