First of many...

The kids planned their first trip to the outdoor pool on what turned out to be a very windy and cold day. So John and I took Ashley, Cameron, Bridget and CJ and headed to the indoor pool for some mock summertime pool action.
Their favorite game is King of the Turtle!

Ashley the TURTLE KING!

Girls Night Out!

Sandi, Abi, Me and Lindsay
Unfortunately Marcia was missing but with good reason...she had just given birth to her 3rd little boy Tyler the day before. Congrats to Marcia and family!!!
I think Abi said it best...it's so great that no matter how much time has passed between our visits we always pick up like it was just yesterday. I LOVE these girls with all my heart and feel so very blessed to have such amazing women as my life long friends. Not to mention, they are all still as incredibly beautiful as ever!
Sandi holding Lindsay's adorable 6 week old daughter Sophie.
Me and Abi with her totally rockin toned arms...so impressed!!!
Such a wonderful night full of laughter, wisdom and lots of talk of raising our families...between all of us there are 10 children!

I apologize in advance because we just can't stop saying how unbelievably proud we are of Zachary.
This kid is an excellent student (all A's and an Academic Achievement Recipient), a loyal friend, a responsible big brother and just an all around wonderful young man.

We're looking forward to the next exciting chapter of your life...

A Super Sappy Shout-Out!

For thirteen wonderful years I have been lucky enough to be married to a man of honor, integrity and solid dedication to his family. He is a guy who gets better looking each year, the most amazing father, the hands-down funniest person I know, my very best friend and the partner I want by my side for the rest of my life.
John, I love you more than you will ever know.
Happy Anniversary!
Plus he knows me so well...a perfect bouquet of all my favorites: Shasta Daisies, Yellow Roses, great big Gerber Daisies, Eucalyptus (I love that smell), White Lilies that opened yesterday and those little red things that look like cranberries but I don't their name.
