Merry Christmas! 2009

Lucky us! We got to spend the week in San Diego. Christmas was very different this year. But I can say that all of us enjoy it! We hit Magic Mountain first. Took the boys on X2. Scared them to death. I think even scared my mom and dad. HAHA. Week in San Diego, stayed on the beach in a condo. Toured a aircraft carrier, ships, submarines, and museams. We even saw Avator on Christmas Day. Headed to Mission beach and Cornado Island. Jackson loved the ocean! Seriously couldn't get him out of it. Cooper liked the water, but then he got to cold. I just loved not being in the snow. We ended our trip at Knotts Berry Farm. Loved having the family all together.

Florida Again!!!!

I wish I could just stay here forever. I love being in Florida. The beach, the sun, just chill. Stayed right on the beach in Clearwater. Visited my old house, where I lived when I was in 2nd grade. Our backyard was the bay! We stayed two nights in Tampa, so we could teach classes. Saturday night we went to Halloscream at Busch Gardens. As you can see I was scared. HAHA. Well I love to be in Florida, wish it was a longer trip. Till next time Clearwater.

Happy 3rd Anniversary!!!!!

Ok, I am copying my sister. This is dedicated to my true love, Madison. I love you so much honey. We got married 3 years ago today. It was the best day of my life. Here are a couple of pictures of us on our wedding day. Aren't we cute!

Rainbow August 23

Remember how Sunday was all rainy. No fun for last day of summer, before school starts. It is beautiful though. Look at this rainbow we caught. The boys wanted to get to the end for all the gold, cause they "like gold". I love innocence.

What a first day of 4th Grade!!!! Yes, he is that old.

So this is how every year starts out. He dresses so cute and rides his bike to school. I wonder how old he will be when he says stop taking my pic mom. Haha. Never I hope. So after his first day of 4th grade, which he says is way more responsiblity. Its great to hear that. I am so proud of him. After a great day of school, Madison and I got off work early. Cooper was in town for a day. So we took the boys down to the new waterpark in Draper. Can you say "so much fun". Ya like 50 times. We had a blast. Cooper was daring. I was not. They have some enclosed tube slides. I so don't like those. I went on one, it took Madison 10 minutes to convince me to do it. If you have a chance, try this place out. You won't regret it. By the way, the water is heated. Booyah!!!

Crashing - FlowRider

So Madison saw the site and said why no crash photos? Here you go. The first one is Jackson and the second one is Madison. Biffing it good!!! No major injuries to report. (phone photos again, sorry)

FlowRider - 1st time

Its hard to see from the pictures, but Jackson and Madison tried FlowRider for the first time last night. I didn't have my camera, so these are taken with my phone. They both did pretty good. Looks like they will need some practice though. Jackson is determined to be pro. As he is with everything else he trys. Madison tried to get me up there, but my suit wasn't staying on when I went down the slide, can't imagine what would happen if(when) I biff it on this thing. Someday though, I will try it. Can't let my husband and son show me up.
