Such a FUN day

-
One of my dear families that I worked with in Vegas came down to Phoenix this Tuesday for business. Ryan and I got to watch the girls and had their older son for help as well for the day and we had a blast. It was so much fun taking out all my toys that I have from work and playing with them.

I had such a fun time trying to plan activities to do with the girls through out the day. They love to swim so we went to our pool and splashed and raced and I was blown away how well they could swim. Probablly because I dont know how to swim and they do better ALOT better than me!


We then came home and made cookies. I had them help with the ingredients and stirring. the first batch turned out great and were all eaten as quickly as I pulled them out of the oven. The second batch didnt turn out so wonderful. Somehow the oven had been turned off and I put the cookies in there with out knowing. I then noticed and turned it back on but left the cookies in there while it heated back up. Needless to say when I smelt something almost done I went to the kitchen to find some disformed crunchy cookies. It took forever to scrap them off the sheet. But to my surprise didnt taste to bad. The girls posed for me in front of the cookies while taking a bite!




We then ordered pizza and played games. They were using Ryan as a patient in the doctors office and were poking, pulling and tugging on him with all sorts of random "tools". He is such a trooper and was loving every second of it. He had them on his back and they loved playing horsey.



We had such a fun time with them. I miss being so close to them and seeing them all the time. I am so glad that they good come and visit us. We love you!!!

Looks like you and the girls had tons of fun! You and Ryan will be such good parents someday! And I have definitely made the exact same mistake with the cookies that you did- and I'm pretty sure that I'm the only one that still ate them!

BIG CHANGE

So I was asked a couple of weeks ago to teach a class for Enrichment on: HOW to CREATE a SAFE BLOG I had been fighting the feeling of putting my blog private for sometime now. I am a little lazy and haven't wanted to take the extra time to get everyones email and then go through the process of changing things over but the time has come TO MAKE A CHANGE! I do use my blog to share my life and all aspects of it. I have been really personal in the past year and I know that a lot of people that I really didnt/shouldnt have read the things that I have been going through have read it. I am coming to terms that it is NOT SAFE and this CHANGE is VERY necessary.  So to all of you that I see come on my blog ( via- my traffic feed and even though it doesn't say sometimes your name, I put two and two together) :) that I would call BLOG STALKER since you do not give a sweet comment but look and leave- HERE is your CHANCE to give me your email address so t...

Last week I was home doing some work before I had to leave for a Home Visit. I was siting on my couch when I hear someone on my back porch moving our chairs around. I thought it was Ryan since sometimes he comes in from the back when he puts his tools and ladders away. Except after this man gets the chair he places it in the corner by our french doors and sits down! My heart starts to beat and I go to the front to see if Ryan's truck is outside. His truck is NOT outside!!!! I then go to the window where the previous renters had broke and pear out and see a man sitting in my chair with tattoos all up his arm, wearing a wife beater and dickie shorts. He is crouched really close to the wall on the chair. My hearts begins to beat so fast! THERE IS A MAN ON MY BACK PORCH AND I AM HOME ALONE! My first reaction was to call the police. I called 911 and the lady was so sweet she told me to stay calm and that police were on their way. She asked me what he looks like and I told her. She the...

Walking What???

The past few weeks I have had a lot going on in my life. From the worries of new job resposibilities, loss of another baby, and lots and lots of travel I think my body just gave up from the emotional, physical and mental stress. Before we left for Chicago I was dealing with a sore throat and headache that seemed to stick around for a week or so. Then by last weekend when we were headed to California it went into my lungs. Those of you who have lived with me, espesially in college, know what comes with this outcome..........yes a wonderful sounding almost music like barking cough!!! My Senior Year I got Bronchitis really bad and ever since then I enjoy the wonderful outcome of what should be just a simple cold that you get over easily but not for me. Well this bark grew to a fever, sinus infection and having no energy. With taking pretty much all week off of work and trying to sleep and get rid of it and seeing no end in sight, I surrendered and went to the doctors last night! I hate ha...
