Palm Springs!

Well, we are home from palm springs now, and it's back to reality! I left with the kiddos and headed down to Palm Springs on Tuesday! It was a beautiful resort, and it was wonderful to spend time with family! We hung out at the pool most of the afternoon, and then......Jr. suprised us and came down there to hang out for the evening! That was sooo exciting( we don't like to be away from one another)! We got to spend some time with family that we dont see very often, and the kids got to play with their cousin Sarah! Later that evening, Christina and her friend Mindy came too....so much fun! The next day, it was off to the pool again! There was an amazing waterslide that the kids really enjoyed ( we even got Grandpa and Grandma to go on it as well)! It was pretty HOTTTT!!! out there, but the pools kept us nice and cool! After a day of swimming, we headed back to the condo, and had a delicious spaghetti dinner! I did'nt want to leave, but it was soon time to go! I was so blessed to be able to get away , and be with family! Thanks to Grandpa Paul and Grandma Mary for inviting us, and my parents to come down there, and to our parents, Dad and Cindy....who always make it so special! We love you guys! Here are some of the pics from our trip!

Sports Day Saturday!!!!

Well, today was another busy Saturday! We had basketball games and pictures as well! Jr. was at the gym from about 12:45 until 5:00pm......LONG DAY!!!! All went well though, we won both games! The best part is EMILY SCORED A BASKET!!!!! I stinkin missed it because I was at work, but I got to hear all about it (over and over)! We are sooooo proud! She mostly enjoys playing defense, and does it well! Not too sure what the score was on her game ....but we won!
Then it was time for Richie's game. I managed to leave work a little early and catch most of his game. He is such an outstanding player all around! The final score of their game was 39-23, and Richard scored 9 points! Their defense was allll over him!
Overall, it was a great day! Although I have a tired hubby, and three tired kiddos! Ryan was exhausted from being their cheerleader! ( and mostly running around with all of his friends down there)
Cant wait for another exciting weekend of sports! Games next week are at 2pm and 5pm next Saturday, just in case anyone wants to come! Well, I better get ready for bed too, church tomorrow morning!

Day with the kiddos....Tyler came to visit!

Well, yesterday was alot of fun! Tyler came over to play for the day! The boys have grown up together, and it was so surreal to see how big they are now! The boys hung out and played video games ( of course one of their favorite things to do!) Then we headed out to the pool.....that was great! Im really trying to work on my tan! After the pool, we came back and I BBQ'd hot dogs....and I didnt even burn the place down!!!! Before we knew it , it was time to take Ryan to his Tae Kwon Do class, and then time to take Tyler home! Overall, the day couldn't have gone any better! The kids were wonderful, and all got along so well! Here are some of the pictures!

Giving this a whirl!

Well, Iv'e seen other people's blog's and fell in love with how creative they are! So here it goes, Im giving it a whirl! I don't really understand everything yet, but with the help of my hubby...(who is now asleep on the couch) ..we figured this much out! I guess all the cutsy stuff will come in time! I just know that I adore my family, and want to share all that we have been up to! We sure are one busy family!
