Joe, Justin and myself just returned from a week in Hawaii. We had a wonderful time! It always goes by too quickly. We spent time with Joe's family and we hated to say goodbye. It was 80 degrees on our last day there. We didn't want to come back to the cold. I keep telling Joe that I could really make Hawaii home if my family could all come with us. The cost of living is very high. We will just have to visit. I will post more pictures later.

Happy Anniversary!

I don't know where the time has gone. It has been 12 years and 4 boys later. We have had our ups and downs, but I would not change a thing. I am very blessed! I do wish I could look that young and thin again!

The boys were excited to see more snow fall and I can't wait for spring! Joe and I are taking a trip to Hawaii in a few weeks. We are going over for our neices 1st birthday. We are leaving the older boys home and taking the baby with us. Joe's parents will be there. They are living in the Phillipines and we really want them to see the baby. I can't wait for the warm sun! I hate this cold weather.

Brenden went out to see how deep the snow was and ended up on his rear end in the COLD snow!

Justin is getting big way too fast! He is sitting all by himself, rolling over, and he loves his new high chair. We tried sweet potatoes today and he wasn't too sure he like them. I guess we will try again tomorrow. He has been such a wonderful addition to our family. He is good natured and the boys adore him. I am very thankful for our blessings!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! It came and went so quickly. We spent Christmas Eve at my parents home. Every year we all get matching pj's. Here we all are! This was the first year we did not spend the night at my parent's. We decided with four kids it would be much easier to stay at our own home. My parent's came out very early to watch the boys open their gifts and then later that afternoon we all went back to grandma and grandpa's for more gifts and a prime rib dinner. It was a very nice day!

Santa found our house! The boys were spoiled this year. They wanted a Play Station 3 and Santa delivered.

Justin even enjoyed the excitement!

Christmas is in full swing at our house. We had a fun company party on Saturday. The boys asked santa for a Play Station 3. Just what they need.

Christmas Eve 2007



I have been thinking a lot about my Grandma Muir this week. She passed away the beginning of August. She loved Christmas and loved to decorate. I inherited a lot of decorations that belonged to her. The boys and I have enjoyed decorating our home with many of her treasured decorations. It will be very different this year without her.

I am posting some pictures from our vacation to Washington this summer. The boys had so much fun with their cousins. One of the highlights was our visit to the Space Needle. Kolby could hardly contain himself. We made a lot of memories on this trip.
