Out with the old and in with the new

It has been a long hard decision, but we finally broke down and bought a minivan. I have loved my CRV so much and it had been such a great car to us that I just didn't want to give it up. So bye my wonderful CRV, I hope we can find you a new home that will be good to you!

I am loving my new van, We got an '02 Honda Odyssey. It has everything we wanted, the kids LOVE it! The DVD player is a huge hit, they think it is the coolest thing ever LOL!

8 years

We celebrated our 8 year anniversary! I cannot believe that it has been 8 years now. We have definitely had our ups and downs with life but we have always been happy together. I feel blessed to have married Dan. I truly feel he is my soul mate. To celebrate we went on a motorcycle trip down to the Grand Canyon with our good friends Jeff and Autumn Hatch. They were a blast, Jeff serenaded us almost every morning in his "special voice" it was hilarious!

Wow has time flown!!!

So I have been a huge slacker and just super busy and have not updated forever! So much has happened I am struggling to even know where to begin. I will start off with Shane graduating from Kindergarten. If I can figure out how to post a video I will of his dance festival. It was so cute and absolutely melted my heart!!! They grade him on a scale from 1 (being the lowest) to 4, he ot 4 3's and the rest 4's! I was so proud of him! He worked so hard and even got better grades than I did in Kindergarten LOL! He loves being off for the summer and we are keeping super busy!

Shane is such a n awesome big brother one night he really wanted to read Blake his stories and feed him his bottle it was so sweet so I had to post the pics, I love them so much!

Our next adventure was to Disneyland, this was probably the best vacation we have ever taken. The kids were amazing and had so much fun. Blake was so awesome and went on all the rides with us with out even a peep. He is such a great little guy! Shane's favorite part was the Star Wars Jedi training and he got to fight Darth Vador, I got this one on video too, I should have taken some pics in there! Out of all the rides they loved the stinkin' merry-go-round I was so annoyed! They make me so sick and we could those ANYWHERE! We were at Disneyland and they kept begging to go on it, we let them go on it twice than drew the line! It was such a fun experience!

We loved going to the beach and hanging out. Shane was so brave and really got into the water a ton. It was really a blast. Brock was pretty afraid of the water so he would build sand castles way too close to the water than get so angry when the waves would come in and wash it away. I have a cute picture of him trying to stand between the castle and the water trying to save the castle, it was pretty cute! Dan got out there and helped them find sand crabs, Brock loved them but SHane acted like he was being so tortured every time said to come over because he had found another one! It was pretty funny! We stayed with some good friends and loved every minute of it. THey are such awesome people! We have awesome friends!!!
