October Fun

Labor Day Fun Part One!!! Yuba State Park

The Kids had fun paning for Gold. I think Riley just had fun playing in the water. Morgan found all types of treasures.

We had a fun day at Yuba State park. Perfect weather, a great place to play in the river. A great picnic and great company.

The Bond of Two Cousins

A picture is enough to show how much they love each other.

I cannot say enough about how much I love these two individuals. It is so much fun to watch them together. Morgan adores Shaylie her only cousin. She would do anything for her and tells me all the time that she wishes she could live by Shaylie. Even though there is a 5 year age difference, Shaylie is so willing to play with Morgan. It is some times sad that they have to grow up so fast.
Morgan calls dollar bills tickets. So today she asked me if we where going fast and a cop pulled us over and gave us a ticket, can we go spend it? If only it worked that way. I guess that is something Shaylie or "ISH ISH"( a nick name Morgan came up with because she couldn't say Shaylie) will have to teach her, the differece between money and a ticket. I love my ISH ISH, and JO JO (A Nickname Riley came up with for Morgan because he couldn't say Morgan). I love nicknames ecspecially "JO JO" and "ISH ISH".

Family Reunion

So this weekend we had a mini Family Reunion and a baby shower for my sister-n-law. We had a great time and had two guys that where good sports and took part in the baby shower. It was great getting together and sharing fun and memories.

Its all about the hands on the hips.


We had a great time putting a balloon under our shirts as we tried to tie our shoes with out the balloon popping.

How many clothespins can you get with one hand in 30 seconds. Go Riley!!!!

The best for last, Look at these two cute fellows. Aren't they good sports racing each other to see who could finish the bottle first.

Moving foward and learning from my mistakes.

Well a lot has happened during this last year. We moved from Logan Utah, to Susanville ca where I lived with the inlaws for 6 months. After 6 months in susanville we moved to Vallejo Ca. During that time I was stressed and overwhelmed and I turned to food a lot. It crazy to think that I ran a half marathon almost a year ago, and did a triathlon 1 1/2 years ago. Well I can beat myself up for letting myself go, or I can move forward today, and learn from my mistakes. One day at a time and hopefully I can find myself again. Please feel free to join me on my journey. It is always great to have a support team. The Journey has begun. Thanks for the 5 friends who responded to my request. You guys are great.

This is a test only a test!!!!!

I am such a blog staker and spend more time reading other blogs than writing my own. So I started thinking. Does anyone read my blog. Or have a lost all my blog buddies. Please let me know if you read my blog even if it is goofy sometimes. So for those who read my blog and never comment, make an effort and comment and let me know. That includes you mom. I would really like to know.

Looking forward, thankful for the past.

Well I had a special request from my good friend Linda to update my blog. This is where I will be living for the next year. After living with my in-laws for the last 6 months. The time has come for us to move on. My hard working husband started a buisness in napa ca with his brother. I am sure he is excited to move and not have to commute the 5 hour drive. I have to admit that I am nervous, excited and a little everything above to start this new adventure. I am thankful for my 4 year old and that the impossible 3 is behind us. We had fun celebrating her birthday with a scooby doo party. Her amazing dad even made her a bone cake. She loved all her presents and I am sure that she would want me to give a special thanks to all those people who made her birthday.

I am grateful for family and being able to see my family for Christmas. I am also grateful for having the opportunity to get to know Jeremiah's parent. I am gratefull for wonderfull sisters.

And a wonderful neice that my kids adore!

I am grateful that my daughter has more of a fashion sense than her mother does.

And for great parents.

A wonderful brother and sister-n-law who will live closer to me.

It is comforting to have family near.
I am grateful for my own family, that makes life worth living. Looking forward to the new year.
