The truth reveled at last!

I thought this to be rather fitting. After all the government thinks we should be footing the bill for ALL of their expenses. Some school project do turn out to be fun, even in the worst classes.

In Response to Lisa

Ok Lisa, I will do the photo tag game with you. Here is the 4th photo from my 4th file in my photo files. This happens to be from Christmas 2005. Every Christmas, we take pictures of us with the gifts we received, kinda like a photo journal of Christmas. Christmas is by far Randy's favorite holiday and we do anything we can to remember the joys of Christmas.

If you want to play the game, here are the instructions: Go to your pictures, open the fourth folder & post the fourth picture. Simple. "Easy peasy rice and cheesy," The Bowler Hat Guy from Meet the Robinsons.

Butterfly Weekend at the Desert Museum

A few weeks ago we went to the Desert Museum to enjoy Butterfly week. It was so beautiful. Everywhere we walked, we were surrounded by butterflies. It made me feel kinda like a princess in a Disney movie where she is out and about singing and birds fly around her, but I wasn't singing and it was butterflies. I didn't get any good pictures of the butterflies flying, but I did get some of us and flowers.

Emily showed me this a while ago and it is amaZazing! You will never see a tread mill the same again.

Casa Grande

not CAS-A GRAN or CASA GRAN-DE, Casa Grande. It means Big House. I always erroneously thought Casa Grande was just a blip on the map on the way from Tucson to Phoenix. Well Emily came down to Mesa to welcome her friend/missionary, Chase, home. So we decided we need some sister time and we met in Casa Grande. It's about the half way point (Austin learned all about halfway, just see Josh and Amber's blog for an explanation. I still can't believe he is such a little grown up already. By the time we get to Idaho, he will be able to babysit for our future children.) between Mesa and Phoenix. We definately had fun, well at least I did. I love spending time with my sister. She is so much fun. Especial to shop with. She has great taste (most of the time :) ) and can always find something cute. Well, upon arriving in C. G. we discovered it really is a big house. Lots of places to shop and lots of odd places (Pick a Pet, for example, is a tiny pet shop with tons of animals, many of which were very odd). Anyways, I am done rambling. Until later, CAIO.

See I told you

Remember when I said I would eventually blog about our jetskiing trip in Utah. Well here it is.



drying off after a romp in the lake
Max getting ready to take a dip
Dad catching some ZZZs,
Me, Mom, and Emily (I should've worn my sunglasses, but Russell stole them to jetski with)
Randy, Me, and Chonkiri (suprizing, yes I know)

I didn't get any of Russ because he stayed out on the lake most of the time. We all had too much fun and got burnt to a crisp. I hurt for days afterwards. It was a blast though.

Dog in a box

Well, they turned us down at USPS, I guess we aren't allow to ship our dog to Austraila to visit his ansectors. Hmm, it was worth the try. We did give him air holes.

(Totally joking. Don't report us to PETA, he actually had fun. Okay, so I bribed him with a cookie, but he went in and when we took him out he wanted to get back in for another cookie)

NAU

Randy started school last month. He is attending NAU here in town. He gets to be in the classroom with the students 4 days a week and then spends the afternoon/evening in class. He is learning and usually really enjoys working with the high school special education class. I am amazed at what a wonderful person he is and how much he cares for these very special children.

More proof our dog is crazy

We had decided to take a nap/watch a movie, so we pulled the futon out and turned it into a bed. Well, the dog was in the house. We fall asleep, when we wake, we couldn't find the dog. Here is where we finally found him.

Yep, under the futon.

It was pretty funny to watch him get out from under there, he must be half cat to squeeze through such tight places.

One day short of a month, OUCH

I can't believe I haven't posted in sooooo long. Sorry. Hmmm lets see what is happening. I finally ordered copies of all the pictures I wanted to make my collage. I have had this really cool frame for going on 5 months and it has just sat, waiting for pictures. Well last night I got it all put together and it looks so cute. I would copy it and put it on here, but it is too big and by the time I would get it to fit, the pictures would be tiny. So, if you want to see it, you will just have to come over. It is on the wall as you walk through the front door. It is full of pictures of Randy and I in the last 4 years. I really love that guy. I am so blessed to have a husband that loves me and makes me truly happy. Marriage is a lot of work, but it is completely worth it.

Since I can't put all the pictures up, I will put up my favorite.
