Celebrating 12 Years

Sunday, June 14, 2009 we celebrated 12 year of wedded bliss. 12 years, 3 kids and too many memories to count! I am truely blessed. We took the kids to Celebration Park and had a wonderful picnic and walk. The kids had a great time exploring and chasing lizards, we had a wonderful time walking, holding hands and enjoying our gifts. Later that night we went to dinner by ourselves. It was a beautiful day. I look forward to another wonderful 12 years. I love you guys!

Family Birthday Party

We went to a BBQ for my Nieces and Nephew, Jessica, Hana and Jared's Birthday.

Sandi's 29+++ Birthday

Our impromptu party for Sandi, within' a minutes times, JJ dropped a bag of Ice, Alli dumped the cupcakes and Steph tried to cut the end of her toe off with tongs, it was a wierd time in the kitchen. But a fun Birthday! Happy Birthday Grandma Sandi!

Cheylah's Piano Recital

Cheylah had her third Piano Recital, she is getting really good, she had quite an audience. The little kids liked the Chocolate covered Strawberries the best! Good Job Cheylah!

My Pretty Flower

We snapped some photo's of Cheylah and my roses at the front of our house. They are all Beautiful, but not as Beautiful as the little girl smelling them!

County Demo's

Right after school got out, Kate stayed the night, instead of veggin' the next day mom put them to work on their 4-H Demonstrations. The two competed June 5 at County and did a fantastic job! Way to go girls. We are still waiting for the results, so check back to see how these two did.

My Secret Talent

For some reason, I've always loved to decorate cakes and bake. I got this wonderful book this year at the school book fair, called Hello Cupcake, and have had a lot of fun with some of the designs. The biggest challenge seems to be finding some of the odd decorations that the cupcakes require. Who would know the Panda has a Cocoa Puff frosted uner his noes, or the nails of the croc needed to be banana runts? The Horse cupcakes called for White Circus Peanuts?? White...they make them in orange, but some specialty store online sells white ones...needless to say orange didn't look that bad. Some creations are my own. Looking forward to making many many more birthday cupcakes, or just for fun!

Fishing at CJ Strike

May 31st we took a day trip to CJ Strike, near Grand View, with our friends the Wilsons. We had a picnic and fished from the dam and caught about 40 crappie. My dad would have been proud.

Cheylah's First Horse Show

Cheylah showed in her first Horse Show, Saturday June 6, she did fantastic. Got Second place in showmanship! Way to go Cheylah and Cover Girl.
