Happy Birthday Cooper

Happy Birthday to Cooper who is two years old today. We are so happy to be a part of your life. You have such a beautiful smile and eyes that light up a room. Have a great train party, we wish that we could be there. But take lots of pictures and send them to us. We hope that you like JAZZY.

Happy Birthday girlfriend. We were about 15 years old when this was taken. We could not take a serious picture. I was a clown. It is so funny to see these again and remember how young we once were. We two were always together getting into some kind of trouble. Always brought on by Debbie of course.

Taken around 2002 or 2003 in front of my parents home in Lompoc, California.

Happy Birthday Debbie...... Love ya

A Visit To San Diego

The trip to San Diego was to see Steve's mom, but also to see Kathy and Tino. He has been in for a fight with cancer. We pray that he has won and will have lots and lots of years to come. Kathy and I were teaching buddies for 13 years and when I left Susan took my spot. I miss them all, but am able to see them at least once a year.

The visit to see Tino, Kathy, John and Sue

A beautiful San Diego sunset. I do miss these sunsets, even though it was taken from the car.

Making the boys so jealous. This was a favorite place for all of us when we lived in San Diego. Just remember boys we are going to San Diego in July.

The wonderful Mango Margarita.

Living the Past

Isn't this something! Stuart took dad and I to AZ88's, the restaurant where he works at in Scottsdale. We had drinks and appetizers, I even had the drink I had when I met Steve 36 years ago. A Wallbanger, thanks goodness there weren't any white rocks around. hahaha. Stuart then took us on a tour of around AZ88's and we came across this Love statue. For the people who knew me in my junior and high school years. I had Love stuff plastered all over my bedroom. So this was very nostalgic for me, and could not resist this picture.

Our Christmas Adventure

Our Christmas Adventure this year is in Cedar City, Utah. Steve and I spent 2 weeks with Geoff and being day care while Geoff was still at school. The kids came in from Wichita to spend Christmas with us. It was a fun filled week of sledding, cookie making, gingerbread house making, coloring pictures and reading books. Stuart was with us for a few days where the kids had him deer haunting.

Geoff and his babies have just finished decorating the tree.

We then piled into the truck with Nana pinned between 2 car seats and off to South Jordan to see Scott, Kim, Kylie and Cooper. Peyton and Nana looked for the perfect sledding hills along the way.

Aren't we just the cutest ever.

Geoff and all the kids in Kylie's room After almost a week and a half we loaded into a rental van and headed off to Wichita to take the kids back to mom. We left Utah and headed south through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma and then Kansas in 2 days. We dropped the kids off and stayed the night in Salina, Kansas. We woke the next morning and drove through Colorado into Utah in 16 hours. By the time we got to Geoff's we were beat. What a beautiful trip that was, going through snow country.
