I'm back!

Instead of listing lots of lame excuses as to why I haven't done this for so long, I will just say this...I'm back.

Mark and I celebrated my birthday by going on a cruise...heavenly. We left from San Diego, visited Catalina Island and Ensenada, Mexico. It was a fantastic way to close down the summer. We took hundreds of pictures but I won't bore you with them all-here are a few of our favorites.



School is off to a good start and the kids and I seem to be enjoying it so far. I'm just ready for my first paycheck...I've got to have plane (or playing) money again so I can go and visit my mom! I didn't realize this until the first day of school, but when you become a Freshman in High School, you are no longer interested in having your picture taken. Mason is no exception to this, he is apparently too cool to have his picture taken on the first day now....

Mark and I celebrated our 19th anniversary on Sept. 14th. We thought it would be fun to go and visit Spencer and Brittney in Grand Junction. We enjoyed a high school football game from the sidelines (while Spen worked) and a visit to KJCT to see Spen in action as he gave his sports report. We watched the BYU/Tulane game, did a bit of shopping and of course ate more good food than we needed to! It was a great visit...wish we could have stayed longer.


On the funny side of our trip, neither Spencer nor Mark knew what the other person was wearing until they both came out of the bedrooms. On both Saturday and Sunday, they had chosen to wear shirts that were very similar. We got a good laugh over that!

When Mark and I arrived home from Colorado, we were so surprised to find our room decorated in hearts , homemade salsa and a really yummy zuchinni cake. When you have Michelle for a babysitter...the possibilities of what will get done are amazing!

And last but not least, we helped Lindsey celebrate her birthday by having lunch at Rumbi's. The family parties are getting smaller, but certainly not losing their importance. Happy Birthday Lindsey!
