Our New Van!

Here is our new (to us, anyways!) van. We love it! Its great for the kids to have more room and it should be wonderful for the trips we have planned in the future. It is a Chrysler Town And Country.

Hannah Turns 7

Hannah turned 7 on February 7th. I can't beleive how fast the time is flying by. Its bittersweet to me with her being my last......here is the birthday princess

And here she is with her gifts and the craziest face, I don't know why she conjured it up but thats just Hannah for you......

My Valentine

Here is my little valentine. I love this outfit on her.

Sushi

I have been trying new things lately. I decided when I was in San Diego that I would try something I never thought I would EVER try.....sushi. Here is the piece I decided on......hmmmm better douse it in soy sauce first, since I like soy sauce...lol

Here goes nothing.....down the hatch......can you tell I am totally loving this whole experience???? I wasn't going to share this pic but come on......how can you not share a pic like this??? LOL

Not as bad as I thought but definately not my first pick off a menu!

My Nephew, The Marine!

Here is my nephew, Doug, who just graduated from the Marine Corps Bootcamp in San Diego. I don't get to see him much so it was great to fly up for the graduation. I am very proud of him. He has had a few bumps in the road but pulled up his bootstraps and got it together and now he is one of the few, the proud, the MARINES! OOOHRAH!

Hannah's Cast

Here is my excited girlie getting casted. I have never seen a child so excited to get a cast on! It was crazy! She was cracking the nurse up the whole time. The nurse asked me, is she like this all the time??!?? Yep!

On a side note, she is so very NOT excited to get the cast off since she heard the sound of the saw when another girl was getting her cast removed while Hannah was getting hers on. Me thinks her daddy will have to take her to the dr. THEN!

Happy New Year

Well, its a new year. 2010. Wow! Hopefully, this new year will be better than the last. I lost 2 very important people in my life. My dad and my grandma. So this year starts out like the last one ended.....very sad. But there is also hope. There is always hope. I have started recognizing the blessings in my life.
So, my friends and family, Happy New Year to you all! I wish you all the best and happiness you could possibly handle. I love you all!
And with this new year of hope, here's hoping I will be a better blogger this new year.....hey, there's always hope, right??
