New Boat Adventure

Well we finally got a boat that fits all of us! Of course the very next day we went to the lake & as luck would have it, it was 98 degrees that day! Yeah!

I am amazed that hubby is cleaning off the boat when we got out of the water....I am just trying to figure out how to make this work for me at home!

The kids are so happy and excited. They just sat in the boat while daddy replaced some hoses, etc. I'm so glad it's still easy to please these kids. They sat in it sunglasses and all!

Now we're just waiting for the next burst of heat here so we can head back to the lake.

Family is a Wonderful Thing

The 4 siblings

Well, the bad news is that my grandfather passed away. He is finally where he wants to be...with my grandmother. It was a beautiful ceremony and the best part of the 2 days was seeing cousins and extended family that I have not seen in almost 20 years. WOW, I have missed seeing everyone. I think we are probably all gonna try to keep in touch better since none of us are getting any younger either. It has become clear to me in the past year to keep your loved ones and family close to you.

I have already started to scrap some of the pictures we took this week and I have decided to make a couple of family albums too.

Hoppy Easter

Today we dyed our eggs then took them to grandma's to hide. Last nice we did our Easter Eve celebration with the in-laws. the kids had a blast all weekend. The easter bunny brought both of them Nintendo DS games....the identical one. What a smart bunny!! There was no fighting today, only harmony.

Last weekend we went to Nojoqui Falls for a hike up to the falls. We took Flat Ashleigh as her class project. She lives in anpther state & we took her paperdoll with us to show where her doll traveled geographically. It was alot of fun. Afterwards we cruised Solvang and ate in Santa Ynez.

I have been back in school for a couple of weeks, but I am still scrappin to keep my sanity. Here are some of my favs recently:
