forever Fuller

Parker is an Angel!

2011-06-29T13:52:00.000-07:00

Baseball season was COLD year. Ok it is cold every year, but this one seemed worse!

Parker did great! He LOVES playing pitcher, even though he didn't get to do it that often.

Best part about it-Brooks got to be the assistant coach.

Parker has a real talent for playing catcher

He does really good at that position!

Alexia and Kyler got their first jobs this year in the snack bar. They loved working, or I

might say they loved getting paid to work!

Parker got to go to a Bee's game and stand on the feild with the players for a dream team event.

Disney Land

2011-03-14T16:52:00.000-07:00

Disney Land!!

We had such a fun vacation! Always goes too fast!!

Started on Tuesday night with a late drive to St George and a old little motel room.
Sleep, not happening.
Woke up and left by 4:00 am.

Arrived in California in great time,
until our GPS took us a little detour in the opposite direction of Disney!
Where were you Fosters?
From that point on it was all walking and riding our favorite rides.
Eating and loving the 80 degree weather!!

Our favorite place to be in Disney is Adventure Land.
We always seem to end up back there.
We start our day with the Indian Jones
ride and end our day there!
So much fun.

At the end of each day our feet and legs were so sore we could hardly move!
Hope that helped burn off all the fun frozen lemonades and junk food we ate!

Wednesday and Thursday were the best, short lines and not that crowded!

Friday morning got woken up with
a 4:00am text
warning us about the tsunami heading for
California because of the earthquake
in Japan. That was a pretty scary, tense morning
watching the news and wondering if
we would be OK.

Our friends the Selins made a last minute decision to go there too.
We caught up with them a couple times and had a lot of fun!

And most importantly:
Alexia's drill team took 1st place at the National drill competition that we really went down for!!!

2011-02-05T15:02:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday Alexia! Fun day of shopping and eating!

It has been a busy, busy 2 weeks. Started of with Brooks

cutting a hole out in our front room to take

down a wall. That was suppose to be

one day project.

Found electical wires-

2 day project.

Discovered it is

a weight bearing wall.

1 week project.

Alexia team competed at a Region

Compitition and took 2nd place. Very exciting.

Alexia turned 16, had two parties

even with the hole in the wall!

Then she competed at the state competition and they took 3rd place.

Fun fun January!

No, hole in the wall is not finished. 2+ week project.

COPPERHILLS AZURETTES ARE #1

2010-12-05T12:36:00.000-08:00

Alexia's first competion as an azurette was at Davis High School. The morning started off very early. They were the first to perform, and they did awesome! They have worked so hard for months perfecting all of their routines and getting into the best shape of their lives. It paid off-they took 1st place in every dance and got the overall sweepstakes trophy for highest scores. It was the funnest comp I have ever been to. We screamed our heads off to get the crowd excited for them and had fun as parents in the audience. Lexi did so good, even remembered all the changes her coach made just the week before. I couldn't stop smiling and feeling so proud of what a great dancer and person she has become. Way to go Lexi! I love you!!!

High School and Football

2010-08-28T17:00:00.000-07:00

This has been one fun week!
Lexi started High School, even though she feels like it started at the first of the summer because she has been going everyday since then.
She performed at her first football game and at the hello day assembly.
She had to get up for 6:00 am practice on the first day of school.
Kyler had his first football game today and started 8th grade.
He practices every night for 2 1/2 hours.
Life is busy
Life is great
I love having teenagers!
Mine are the best, funnest kids in the world!!!!

We love our Family!!

2010-07-31T12:05:00.000-07:00

We had so much fun the past couple weeks. All of Brooks family was in town. Here are some pictures of the good times. The kids had so much fun playing together! We love being with our family and we are so grateful for everyone of them in our lives!

Some of our beautiful girls

Showing a little family competition! Way to go Brooks!

Having Fun!!

Fish Funeral

2010-07-28T12:42:00.000-07:00

Sad day at our house. Well for about 1minute. Parkers fish he won 2 years ago at his grandma fullers ward party finally died. Parker immediately began building a coffin for little Jack the Fish and would not hear of flushing him away. He made the cutest little box that Jack fit perfectly into. He didn't even mind using his Lego's because he told me he is going to dig them back up to see the fishes skeleton. LOL . He asked this morning if he could go dig it up yet. So much for the little guy resting in peace! I told him he has to wait at least a year!

2010-07-13T12:15:00.000-07:00

We love Hiking!!

2010-07-13T11:49:00.000-07:00

Fun stuff

2010-07-08T15:54:00.000-07:00

What I haven't blogged:

Parker playing Catcher for his baseball team, one time Pitcher. He hit every ball that was pitched to him for the hit-a-thon and really played well this year.

We held some yard sales to help pay for Lexi's drill and Kyler's football-enough said about that.

We have been enjoying summer, my kids got fried on our first all day swimming adventure. Can't get them excited about going again.

Lexi went to Drill Camp and learned some awesome dances and performed a dance they learned the week before that was voted the best dance by the other High Schools.

Parker went to scout day camp. I got to go with him and see how well behaved he is and what a sweet little boy he is, he kept coming over to check I was having fun and said he wished I could always come.

Kyler turned 14! He had a few friends over for a barbecue and water fight and then we went to see Toy Story 3. Loved it! Went right along with my little boy growing up.

THE BEST DAY!

2010-05-11T20:27:00.000-07:00

We had a fun Saturday as a family last weekend. Spent the morning helping Lexi raise money for drill team at a yard sale. Kyler and Brooks used their muscles loading the truck a couple of times (came home with stuff we didn't want too!) Went straight to Parkers baseball game that they won , he played catcher and third. Went to dinner at Sweet home Chicago and loved it. Our friend from Chicago told us about it, we are hooked! Then watched Iron man 2 thanks to Kyler turning over the garden for Brooks. Love days like this!! Love to be with my family! Love to work hard! Love seeing my kids help each other! love to be busy! LOVED having Brooks home on a Saturday for the first time 9 months! I LOVE THEM!

Did she get laughing gas?

2010-04-29T15:32:00.000-07:00

Sugery..tears? NOT A CHANCE!

2010-04-29T14:34:00.000-07:00

Yesterday Alexia went in to have her toe fixed. They put a screw threw it to hold it in place and prevent it from dislocating any more. The Doctor felt like since it had been out for so long that the tendons were all ripped and couldn't hold it in place. So this is a permanent way of making sure she can feel confident when she dances that it won't happen again.
So I was warned by many people who had kids that have had surgery just what to expect-emotional, crying all the time, depression, more crying..YOU WERE ALL WRONG! My cute daughter handles things just a bit different-she laughs and laughs.
As the nurse prepped her for surgery, Lex was really worried about getting an IV, she hates needles and had to have blood drawn the week before. She said it hurt but it was pretty quick. Next the anesthesiologist puts in the sleeping medicine and tells her it might make her giggly and it did! She starts to giggle and giggle and cover her mouth wondering why she feels like giggling. Then I lose it and start laughing my head off at her, she starts laughing harder and points at me which makes me lose it again. So as they are wheeling my beautiful daughter away, at what I thought would be a horrible point of the morning, she is laughing and pointing at me until she can't see me anymore. I can't stop laughing at the sight and return to the somber waiting room with poor people who are waiting for their operations and here comes this crazy mother laughing after her daughter is wheeled away. I had to go into the bathroom to compose myself, but not until after a couple more snorts came out. Then they came and got us to be with her when she woke up. It took about 40 minutes. She was sleeping pretty soundly, but the heart monitor was beeping with every heart beat and that started to annoy her so she kept looking back at it with a sour look on her face then she would go right back to sleep. She sleep pretty good, but as soon as it started wearing off she felt the pain. Probably the closes she got to breaking down and crying, but wait, her Doc gave her some pretty powerful pain meds and guess what happens..yes the laughing starts again! She just looks at me and starts cracking up and then cracks up that she is cracking up and then laughs at the way she is laughing. I have a headache from the laughing so I can't laugh any more, but not Lexi. Hopefully the closes we will ever get at seeing her drunk. Yes it does wear off after a while, but I am just so glad this hasn't been as traumatic as I thought it would be. It probably shows the kind of people we are as a family, me and Brooks try to laugh at most situations and make the best of it and I think it has passed on! Lets hope the rest of the recovery can be as funny!
Thank you everyone for your well wishes to her! She has been showered with flowers and friends and wonderful dinners and ice cream from grandpa and grandma! We are praying her toe can heal fast and she can finally get back to normal.

The toe diagnosis

2010-04-14T20:47:00.000-07:00

This is the x-ray of the toe. The one right of her pinkie toe.

So I took Alexia to the doctor today because her toe is still swollen after 6 and 1/2 weeks. As the nurse takes our information, she makes the comment," Well we will take an x-ray, but there is nothing you can do for a broken toe, but ice it and let it heal." So of course I feel a little frustrated and thinking I am wasting money and that is what everyone has told me, but it is not working!! After waiting for the doctor for over 45 minutes he comes in with the x-rays and apologized for taking so long, but that he has been staring at the x-rays for a while trying to decide what to do. Not a great sign. The bone was not broken at all but dislocated and the jammed back over the other bone. He could not believe she actually could stand the pain to walk around on it this long, and was floored that she actually danced on it and tried out for drill with it. She is one tough girl! So he tried to relocated it by pulling at the toe until his hands were shaking and getting sweaty. Very painful for Lex, she did great though, not a tear just a mangled flip flop in her hands. But no luck the bone has been there too long so tomorrow we go to a podiatrists and he will try to pop it back. I don't know if I can stomach watching. I hate seeing my kids in pain, nothing is worse.

Going Back To Granger!

2010-04-05T11:48:00.000-07:00

I had so much fun last Monday visiting with some of my best friends from high school!! It was Grangers drill team year end show and some of us who use to be on drill team, long long ago, decided to have a reunion! It was a blast. I felt like it was just yesterday we were all there together. We probably drove everyone crazy around us because we could not stop talking and bringing up old memories of our years together. I loved listening to all of them remembering things I had forgotten and hearing them laugh just made me feel so young again. I kept Lex up way late and made her laugh seeing me act just like a teenager again! Fun times!

2010-03-31T10:27:00.000-07:00

Lookin Cute for tryouts!

This has been quite an exciting March, Alexia made Copperhills Drill team! I don't know who is more excited me or her! Probably her, but I know what is coming and I can't wait to see her perform and see her be part of a team that is so disciplined and dedicated. They only took 6 new members and a lot of girls tried out. She even did it all with a broken toe. She had a great testimony experience of Fathers blessing to add; She hadn't been able to dance at all on her foot for about 2 weeks, and we didn't know how she could possibly tryout. She asked for a fathers blessing the night before and told us that she just kept praying during the tryout that it wouldn't hurt her, and every time it was her turn she couldn't feel any pain as she leaped, turned and did all kinds of crazy things on it. Call it adrenaline, but I truly believe we have a loving Heavenly Father that knows all of our desires and wants us to be happy, and she was truly blessed! Some people might not think that trying out for drill team is that big a deal, but when you have taken dance since you were 3 years old and had that goal for many years, it is! The next day her whole foot was really swollen! She had to sit out her first competition with Hip dance on Saturday and we hope it will be better by her next one and before first 5:00am drill practice in three weeks. Did I say 5:00 AM? YES I did!

2010-03-20T16:48:00.000-07:00

Finally we have a new camera! Here are some pictures of my beautiful daughter, we had fun at grandmas house taking them!

Words of Wisdom by Parker

2010-01-20T19:40:00.000-08:00

Sunday:

Parker, "Mom, is uncle Reid on the High Council now?" (His uncle was set apart to be in our Bishopric). Me,"No he is just in the Bishopric now." Parker, "Too bad, I know what the High Councilors do." Me, "Oh, whats that?" Parker, "They are the only ones who can cancel church meetings that is why they are called the High Cancelers!"

He couldn't figure out why I was on the ground laughing so hard after that, I kind of hurt his feelings, but it is just so funny the thing kids think that make so much sense!

DECEMBER 2009

2009-12-10T08:39:00.000-08:00

Well I haven't written in a while, so here is a break down of life at the Fullers:

*Had Thanksgiving here, Turkey Frozen, timer didn't pop for 2 hours over when dinner should have been. Used a hair dryer of the stuffing because the bread didn't dry out like it was suppose to. Rolls raised and fell during all this. Marshmallows on yams dissolved. My mom was running out of oxygen. Surprise guest for dinner (no complaints there). Luckily everything tasted OK.

*Two weeks until Christmas, no time to shop. Lots of homework for all the kids.

*Cold, cold, cold. It is FREEZING outside!

*I have been working every night at The Forgotten Carols. My kids have proved to be the best kids any mom could ask for! They have helped Parker with his homework every night. Alexia has made many dinners and even homemade bread stick that were to die for! Brooks has done all the laundry and has driven the kids to scouts, ym, dance and taken them for a few doughnuts(which I thought was nice until I figured out they weren' t the food kind of doughnuts-yes there is a lot of ice on the streets!) So my family can function with out me, but I can't wait until I can be done with this job and back to being home at night.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Troy and Katie's Wedding

2009-10-31T10:50:00.000-07:00

First a disclaimer: All these pictures were taken and stolen from my wonderful sis-in-law Ruthy who I know won't mind that I stole the from her blog. I know she won't mind because hers is so dang cute I can't compete. (My camera is totally broken at the moment)
Thursday Brooks baby brother got married! It was just a perfect day, besides the cold! It started for me at 7:00 am doing the brides hair and yummy Dunford doughnuts Ruthy brought over. Then we left for the Temple where Lexi and Kyler watched all the cousins in the waiting room. We filled their pockets with candy to help.

Then I was able to help Katie(along with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law) in the beautiful Brides room to get ready after the ceremony. Pictures were FREEZING, but still fun!

Here are some pictures from the reception of the cutest kids ever!!

And a pretty cute family too!

These are some pics from the luncheon at Gardner Village. The food was great!

It was a wonderful day! Congratulations Troy and Katie!

(Now time to diet! I counted that night that I probably ate at least 6000 calories+:

Doughnuts in the morning, chocolate lava cake at the luncheon and some of Lexi' s carrot cake, fudge from the candy store in Gardner Village, an eclair at the reception plus a bite of my kids brownie and ice cream and to top it off-wedding cake!)

Our weekend at Janise's cabin

2009-10-09T08:31:00.000-07:00

Whe got to spend conference weedend with a great friend of the family Janise, and the Fuller family. It was so much fun bonding with wild life IN and out of the cabin!

The kids wanted to spend every minute outside, even though it was a bit chilly. Parker is consantly making things out of everything he finds and getting dirty.

The kids loved feeding the chipmunks. Grandma would say throw the food, I taught them to hold it in their hand.

During conference we had a good time doing each others hair, we had to look good for all the moose and deer we saw!

We went on two hikes a day to burn off all the great food we ate. Then we would head back and make more food. It was the life!

Having fun with the girls! Thank you family for such a good time!

Parkers Baptism

2009-09-05T12:28:00.000-07:00

Thank you to all our wonderful friends and family

who came to support Parker, even when I am horrible about making invites,(so sorry Reid).

Here are some pictures of all who came.

It has been a great day for Parker! He got to be the first one in our ward to get baptized at our brand new stake center, and the very first one to get baptized in the font. Pretty cool. I was at little nervous he wouldn't be able to touch the bottom but he did (barely).

We are so proud of you Parker! Thank you for being such a great son!!

Our Friends are leaving us.

2009-08-18T16:36:00.000-07:00

We got together with our oldest and dearest friends the other night because they are moving to Japan!

We had so much fun, like always and our kids did too.

We picked up pizza for the kids and then we went out to dinner. I love having kids old enough to leave! We could have stayed all night talking and laughing, we are truly going to miss you guys!!

Wendi is just as goofy as me, thats why we get along so well!

Brooks always enjoys Brandon.

Breanna will always be Alexia's bff!!

Thanks so much for a wonderful time! What are we going to do with out you? We hope this is a great experience for you all and can't wait to see pictures and hear all about it!

Parkers Birthday

2009-08-18T16:16:00.000-07:00

Parker turned 8 on Aug 10th! He had a fun party with all his friends. We borrowed Ruthys slide and had pizza and cake and played a water balloon game. It was a great day for Parker. That night we met the Roberts at Classic skating and went water sliding and played in the jungle house. Then when we got home, Dad played a trick on Parker by wrapping up some old socks and a couple little candy bars because Parker just knew he was getting a telescope, which he did, but not until dad had his fun.

I asked Parker what do you want for your birthday breakfast? Waffles, pancakes, french toast? No a Tomato and pickle sandwich! Go figure.

Family pictures

2009-07-22T18:24:00.000-07:00

I have the best family in the world! And cute too!!

Bowling!

2009-07-22T18:14:00.000-07:00

Last week we went bowling and swimming with Dad. Finally it has started to feel like summer.

It was fun, even though I have never scored over a 80 in my life. Parker did great, I should use the bumpers too!

GIRLS CAMP

2009-07-14T07:46:00.000-07:00

It was awsome! I never could have imagined how much fun I would have, or how much I would enjoy the girls in our stake! The only thing that went wrong was we were missing Kim!

Lexi loved her leaders and all the great crafts.

I just loved being there with my daughter, even though I didn't spend much time with her, being in the stake, I was there a day earlier and at the main stake camp site,usually cooking or cleaning up. But we saw each other from a distance and felt good knowing we were both there. I even got to bring her home, which was cool and help me a lot.

The food was yummy and all the activities went great, I am so happy and so sad it is over!

Sister in town

2009-07-14T07:30:00.000-07:00

My sister was in town for the 4th, we had alot of fun hanging out for a couple days, besides the fact that my basement was torn up and I had camping food everywhere, they helped by taking a couch back with them.

We had a great time going to the Temple open house, and to Leatherbys.

The kids played a lot of card games. Thanks for coming guys! We miss you already!

4th of July fun and flooding

2009-07-06T07:29:00.001-07:00

This is how Thursday started, we had a birthday party for our cousin. The kids were all having fun and my house was all cleaned and ready for my sister and her family to come in to town and stay with us. Then....it started to rain, I was a little worried about Rajah being outside, but never could have imagined what was waiting for me at home! We drove home to change and get ready for family pictures and Lexi went down stairs. The back half of our basement was soaked! At first I thought a little rain had seaked through the window, but after a couple hours later and 10 buckets of water dumped out, I realized just how bad the storm was.

This is just a little taste of what a mess my basement is in right now! And 10 people are here.

Thank you cory and Reid, we could have never done it with your help!

At this point I was thinking- Um this is were all the kids go to get away from us, What NOW?

Well- pictures were cancelled and Grandma & Grandpa brought out pizza for everyone.

Grandma

2009-06-26T20:34:00.001-07:00

We have been really busy moving my grandma from her apartment to a nursing home. She is so sad because she has been able to live on her own for so long. I hope she will like being with people and having help all the time though. We are praying she gets a roommate she likes.

We had to clean out her whole apartment that she has lived in the past 10 years. It was quite the job and only me and my Dad to do it. Me and Lexi went over yesterday and started packing away her china hutch and cleaning out her cedar chest. We were there all day and my Dad thought it would take us all of July to get rid of everything, but me and Brooks spent all day there today and the apartment is empty except for her chair. Can I even begin to tell you how tired we are!! My house is a wreck and my sister comes next week and girls camp is the next week, and I still have to do all the food shopping for camp AAHHHH!! By the way Marci, I have save the "Bust of Ruth" statue for you!

I am grateful that my Grandma is still alive, it would have been a lot tougher to do if I had to deal with emotions too. I am going to miss doing my Grandma's shopping and cleaning every other week, it just won't be the same going to visit in a not so private room. My Grandma is a very strong independent women and I am so grateful for all she has taught and given me. I wish getting older wasn't so hard! Life should get easier as we age not harder.

Temple Celebration and new hair for Lexi

2009-06-03T20:14:00.000-07:00

Getting ready for the celebration

don't know why this down loaded twice?

Last Saturday Lexi and Kyler got to perform for the Prophet in a Temple celebration. It was amazing! I wish I could have taken pictures. They had so much fun and said they are sad it is over. Their testimonies grew so much of eternal families and temple work. Thank you to all that made it possible. Here are some pictures of before and of us walking around before it started.

Here are also pictures of Lexi's new hair. A big change because she hasn't had bangs for a long time and we had to fix a hair color gone wrong. She looks gorgeous! Nothing like me, we are total oposites in hair, and eye color. It was fun.

DARE Lagoon Day

2009-05-28T15:47:00.002-07:00

Last Friday kyler got to go to Lagoon for graduating in the DARE program at school. So me and my friends who kids were going too, decided we had just better take them to make sure they were safe, that is the only reason, (not that we really wanted to go and have fun ourselves). It was a blast, and the kids had fun too, I think.

2009-05-28T15:31:00.000-07:00

Parker got to eat lunch with me and the principal yesterday. He loved it, even though he thought he got to take his lunch to his office for a one on one lunch. No so. He had to share his glory with a bunch of other kids. He also go to play pitcher that night for one inning of his game! He did so good. I think he threw two strikes. Not bad for his very first time. I'll have to remember my camera next time.

Vegas

2009-05-15T11:09:00.000-07:00

Well life is sure flying by and ever changing! Thank you for all your concern over my crash. I am fine, besides a little head trauma. But most of you will probably say my head was never right to start with anyways. ha ha..But on to more fun and important things--VEGAS! We had a blast. We didn't think we should go after all that happened the week before, but made a last minute decision that we needed now more than ever to get away and relax. That and great great friends that talked us into it and let us stay in their gorgeous time-share. Thanks Kim & Dan for being so gracious and sharing precious space with us! And thank you Sarah and Chris for talking us into going up one day early and sharing your awesome cabana with us. We are truly blessed with great people in our lives.
We got there last Thursday at 11:OO am and met up with Sarah,Missy & Chris and Jen & Jeremy at the Excalibur Hotel. They had rented a cabana equipped with big screen TV, couch, fridge, tables, ceiling fan, and towels and pool rafts. It was the life. Besides all the drinking and gambling going on all around us, it was great. Parker loved the rock slide, and we had a fun game of keep away with a torpedo toy they had. That night we hung out in the Hotel and at Pizza and the tiniest little chicken wings we have ever seen. The next morning we cleaned up and headed over with Kim & Dan at their time share, and again hopped right in the pool. The kids all had a blast swimming and eating snacks. Saturday( the real reason for going) Alexia had a competition and did great! Two 1st places and one 3rd. In between dances we played baseball with the boys to keep them entertained, in 100* weather I might add. We loved it. Then we hit Chilies for dinner at 8:00 pm, we were all starving. Brooks, Dan and Jason then hit the strip until about midnight that night, me and Kim said we would wonder what they were going to do, but being that all three are x-bishopric members and in the same ward, we had no need to worry! The next day was Sunday and Mother's day, so the guys made us all a yummy breakfast and it was time to come home. The kids are all sunburned and so tired this week and we keep saying I wish we were back in Vegas!

Sunshine all gone

Yes it is gone, and I am not talking about the weather. Tuesday night I totalled our Toyota Sienna. Our fun crazy life of running from place to place has come to a screeching halt because I have no vehicle to take us any where. Good bye Sienna we will miss you Terribly.

Sunshine!

Yeah! I love warm weather. I am so tired of freezing baseball games! Parker made me go lay on our broken trampoline at 10:00 am and we stayed out there for hours. I even did some yard work. Kyler mowed the lawn and now Parker is at the park with his friends. I LOVE SPRING! We only have two practices tonight and artichokes for dinner, what more could I ask for?

Work, Dance, Baseball, Sleep

This is our life right now.

Kyler's team has won their first 2 games, but better than that he is just happy to be off track.
Parker is his team catcher and doing great! He is the tiniest on his team but the only one that doesn't flinch when the ball comes straight at him. It really makes the game so much more fun to watch. His first game he would just retract the ball at his own speed, but he finally is catching on that he can get them out at home.
Alexia has had two competitions so far and one more this week and then her last one is in Vegas. We can't wait! I am trying to be better at taking pictures but some haven't turned out.
Loving-17 again had a fun girls day out with my friends, now I have to take Alexia. We just felt we had to see it first to make sure it was appropriate (that and we don't mind at all watching cutie Zach 2 times!)

HUNTING FOR EGGS

2009-04-10T12:17:00.001-07:00

One of the first years without cousins and grandma and grandpa. We had to do it early so Dad could join in the fun. Grandma&Grandpa are in Florida. I told them it was a free for all, who ever found the most got to keep the most, but of course we evened it out in the end. I told the kids to make it last until our Vegas trip in 3 weeks, I can dream can't I?

SPRING BREAK

2009-04-09T11:49:00.000-07:00

(This is at Kyler's D.A.R.E graduation)

(here is the bed that Brooks built)

Spring break is the best. It is a break from all the crazies at school an work. This spring has got to be the most craziest yet. We have temple practices, baseball practices, baseball games, dance practices, and dance preformances. We are so lucky to have this layed back time. Tonight all we have to do is to get a Redbox movie and order pizza.

My Mom's birthday

2009-03-30T17:31:00.000-07:00

We had my parents over yesterday after church, for my Mom's Birthday. We ate my family favorite-corned beef and cabbage. Then had some very yummy cupcakes. My parents liked what I did with their 100 year old rocking chair and high back chair, but laughed that they were black, like everything else in my house.
Later we had a very competitive game of aggravation that Alexia won, but I should have! We get pretty violent when we play.

OK Here I go. After everyone has blogged forever I decided to start.
