Laughlin 2008

Below: The boys on their trip. Justin, Dan, and Jason. Huh? Where is the 4th?

Above: JD didn't get to go to Laughlin, he and Jen had a baby instead. I think that is a good reason to have not gone.



Yes, dear ... Yes, dear. I love you too.
Jason's bike broke down on a few occasions, this would be one of them.

Dan and Jason's bikes before the big ride...

Noah Davis is here!!

Noah Davis Forbush was born yesterday. One month early, but he is absolutely perfect. 10 fingers and 10 toes. Mom, Dad and big brother AJ could not be more proud!! Welcome to the world little guy.
The Proud Mom and Dad
Look, mom! I can open my eyes!!
The Proud Big Brother
Ashley and the little Angel!

I couldn't be more excited and happy for the happy new parents! Congratulations!!

If they could be any cuter...

I took these photos a little earlier in the month and just loved how cute they turned out. I cannot believe how fast these two little beauties are growing. It's crazy that they are 6 and 3 now. I remember the days that they were both "borned", as Ashley calls it. hehe

I look at them and wonder how could I make such cute kids. Hmmm... I just don't know. I know one thing though, I love them both to pieces and know how truly blessed Dan and I are to have these babies.

I love my girls and cannot imagine a day in my life with out them. As crazy as the day gets, I know I have my wonderful little family to come home to. And that, is heaven on earth. Motherhood is truly a gift and a blessing.

Jen, if you happen to read this, you are about to embark on the greatest gift on the earth, motherhood. You and JD are going to have the sweetest little baby. I am so excited for the both of you. I can't imagine a more wonderful mom - to - be. Love you!

Three little grills ~

My neice, Jade has spent the weekend with us. I snapped some cute pictures of these energetic little girls, being cute little girls. They have played Barbie, dress - up, house, played outside on the swingset. We have also gone shopping, went for ice - cream and watched lots of movies.

It is always fun to have three little girls runninng around the house. It makes me reminisce of the days we were kids running around and playing.

I sure wish I know where they got all of their energy.

I also added some photos to the page I had of Jade's little sister, Kambrin Jo. Once she is a few years older and her daddy will let her out of his sight, it will four little grills. I cannot wait!!

I've Been Tagged (and twice)

I have officially been tagged, and twice by Kari and Kacy. So, here goes:

TaG YoUr It

What was I doing 5 years ago?

Ashley would have been 1 at this time. I was working in Roy at this time and probably taking Ashley to a doctor's appointment, she was chronically sick the winter and early spring of her first year.

Momma's Babies...

I took these photos of the grills the other night and I think I already scrapped some pages with these photos, but Geez, I can't seem to get enough of these two monsters. :)

Tonight I got home late from digi - scrap class with Jen. The grills were so happy to see me. There is nothing greater in this world to me, than my family.

An Afternoon of Sunshine, Coronas, Guacamole and Fun

Sunday, was a beautiful afternoon.

The kids played in the back yard while Mom enjoyed a few Coronas. The girls and I munched on chips and some homemade guacamole.

What a beautiful spring afternoon.

Jason & Dan - Local Ride

Last weekend, Dan and Jason & his girlfriend went on a ride supporting our local Police Department and Fire Department.

Here is one of the pictures taken.

Dan felt it important to support them. Megan had her first febrile seizure when she was just about 18 months old. The PD were the first responders and took extra special care of her.

Especially cute ...

Here is my latest page. I took these pictures 0f the girls right after their nightly bath. They were playing on the couch together and being especially cute... As only my kids can be...

~ Movie Night ~

A couple of nights ago, the girls wanted to watch movies.

Megan loves to help me make popcorn. She will get hers and Ashley's bowls out of the cupboard and will get the "big" bowl for mom and dad out.

One of their favorite things to do is to haul out their blankets, pillows and hunker down in front of the TV to watch the movie, with popcorn in tow of course. :)

Megan Jo's Bird Feeder

So I am a little behind on posting... I have been slacking off... Megan made a little bird feeder at daycare last week and was so proud of it. It was a horribly yucky and freezing cold afternoon when we got home that afternoon, but I just had to hang it up in the tree for her.

Once it was hung up, she dragged the stool to the back door window and was watching for the birds to start eating the seeds. She kept saying, "mommy, when are the birds going to eat my seeds?" I caught a few photos of her staring out the window and one of her bird feeder.

She was so proud of her little creation. It brought tears to my eyes too see how cute and precious this was. If my mom were still here, this would have been one of the moments I would have called and shared with her.

God Bless Our Children

Lovin' It...

I scrapped this page last night and I loved how it turned out. It's one that I can say that I really reallly love the look of. The class is well worth the time and little bit of investment.

Daddy is my footstool

Last night, we were hanging out at home and watching (or attempting) to watch Shrek the Third. I rented this from a local movie joint, who will remain nameless, and the stinkin' DVD skipped throughout the whole show. Needless to say, I am taking this back for a refund today.

I was working on some digi -scrapping and noticed th cute scene above playing out. Megan, sitting in her chair, eating popcorn, and with her feet up, on daddy's shoulders. I laughed my a** off and had to take this photo.

Megan with her feet up on her footstool. Her dad. :)

How cute. . .

The class is paying off...

Here is another page from tonite's class. It is similar to another one I did earlier, but I really like the colors and patterns. Needless to say, we are learning more. I need to get better at snapping photos and scrapping them right after. Babysteps though...
