An Unexpected Vacation!

Kaylee, Crew and I drove up to St. George two Fridays ago to see Grandma Syphus turn 50. We surprised her because she didn't know that we were going to be there. Unfortunately Chris couldn't make it due to work, but we all missed him. All the grandkids were there and they are all soo darn adorable! After spending a few days in St. George we decided it would be fun to travel north to Wellsville to visit Great Grandma Stuart.
Here we are on the road trip, just stopped for a bite to eat! Kaylee and Crew are awesome travelers. Everyone thinks I'm so brave for traveling that far alone, but it was cake! They're awesome kids!

You can tell everyone wanted a little peice of that stud muffin! Kaylee also had a great time. We went to several parks, the zoo, and she loved swinging on the old swing in Great Great Grandpa's backyard (the one I used to swing on when I was a kid)!




Towards the end of our trip to Wellsville we went to the Zoo! It wasn't a big zoo, but it was just big enough for Kaylee and Crew! We had a blast looking at all the interesting birds and animals.



Then of course there are always the family pictures. We had four out of the five generations there for the picture... just missing my mom!




All in all, this was a great trip and I can't wait to do it again soon!

Vampires and Romance

Ok, Becca conviced me to read this book, and I was sceptical at first. Mostly because I never really have the patience to read books anymore... But this was the best book! Now I am deep into the second book "New Moon" and I love it too! I feel so involved with the characters. Anyone who is reading this blog.. I highly recommend going out and getting this book! Then the second and from what Becca says, the third as well!

Back to School Swap

Well, I signed up to do this swap (you are randomly paired up with someone you don't know and are supposed to send them three things that you love) and the theme is "back to school." Meaning, that I am to send my partner (Casey) three things I can't live without while I do my "crafts." Sounds easy... but there are so many things that I can't live without! And I can't send my whole office... so I am stuck with sending a few of my favorites. I can't give it away yet, but once I know she has gotten my package then I'll post some pictures of the cool stuff I sent.

Also, my computer is not letting me upload my pictures from my last vacation so I will try again tomorrow and let everyone know how that went.

Home Workouts...

So I thought that since I was at home now I would finally be able to take advantage of all those workout videos I bought. You know the ones...pilates, yoga, step... Well, it is way harder than I thought! I guess I'll just have to wait till the kids go to sleep!
