Good, Clean Fun!!

All the family met at Roosevelt lake this weekend & it was a BLAST!! Lots of sun, swimming, & food is my kind of recipe for fun! Jason brought his boat, Brandon brought his toy hauler w/ his artic cat, & Gerald brought his jet skis & toy hauler for everyone to use and enjoy! Hopefully this will become a new family tradition :)!

Love Thursday... My Little Bugs!

Friends from the start!


"Sydney Bug": 1 year


"Lily Bug": 5 months

These two girls are the LIGHT of my life!! I look at these pictures & I just want to eat them! I love them both so dang much & have so much fun watching their personalities develop! Sydney is my sister, Gwen's baby & Lily is my niece Alishia's baby (making her, that's right... my GREAT niece)! Both of them are great mom's & are SO fun to be around- making their babies twice as irresistible!!

Love Thursday... Mom's :)

I've been thinking a lot about mothers recently & I wanted to spotlight mine today (BOTH of them)! I have the privilage of calling 2 of the most amazing women I know "Mom". They remind me so much of each other it's unreal! They both speak Portugese, for 1! More importantly they are so loving (unconditionaly), accepting & kind to everyone, and just genuinley GREAT women!!! I just wanted them to know how thankful I am for their examples and love they show me constantly- they support me in areas that NO ONE can fill & I'll love them eternaly for that!

10, 9, 8, 7.....

Well, The countdown has begun- Anthon will be leaving to go to California for the summer in less than a month :(! The alarm company is sending him out there as their lead technician; he's been training new guys for the past few months and has gotten very confident in his role. I'm proud of him :)... but I'm going to miss him A LOT!!! I'm taking my Microbiology this summer so I can apply for the nursing program in the fall. Hopefully I'll have enough to keep me busy so I won't dwell on him being gone! The time will go by quickly I'm sure, it's just hard to think about how it will be here without him.

We've Got Hops!

(I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE FOR ANTHON BEING IN HIS G'S, ME NOT WEARING ANY MAKE UP, & THE EXPRESSION ON MY FACE!)

Ok, so Anthon randomly wanted me to take a picture of him jumping so he could see how high he could get. Then I wanted to see how high I could jump & that's how this whole thing started. Some of them turned out pretty cool, so I figured I'd share them with you all... plus Anthon's pretty proud of himself :). I know, we are NERDS but we have a LOT of fun!!!

¡DDR!

My brother, Peter, bought the video game Dance, Dance Revolution, & it is addicting!! I didn't really get into it at first (actually, I thought it was pretty gay), but now I love it- same with Anthon! Peter's the best at it, but Anthon & I are pretty much tied for 2nd. We should have a game night with anybody who wants to try it out ( you feel a little retarded at first, but it's a lot of fun!). We have done the game night with some of our friends & it was a lot of fun, so now we should plan it with family!!

Love Thursday

He is HOT!!

He's a goofball!

He thinks he's tough ;)!

Ok, so Thursday is almost over, but I still wanted to post my 1st ever "Love Thursday" themed blog... Anthon Ray!! He is such a goober, but ya gotta love him! He reminds me to laugh at life (even at the hard stuff) & not take myself too seriously! Yes, I do LOVE him more than ANYTHING (& I listed some fun reasons under his pictures for those of you who wonder "WHY?!")!!!

«Swimming Lessons» … ¥Á¥!

( Hmmm... I wonder

if I will like this??)

( I guess I can give it a try!)

(Yep, I LOVE TO SWIM!)



Sydney had her 1st swimming lesson of the summer on Friday & she did awesome!! By the end of the lesson (like 30 minutes) she could grab the wall, climb out of the pool, sit on her butt then scoot back into the water, do under water "swims" back & forth between Grandma & me, and back float -WITHOUT 1 tear (that's a big deal for me... usually babies cry on the 1st day)!! Yeah, what a fish (and boy does she love to kick, kick, kick)!!! It'll be fun to teach her this summer because she had SO much fun just being in the water!!
