15 Years!


Today is mine and Dennis's 15 year anniversary! Time flies when your having fun! I think we make a perfect pair, and I can't think of anyone else that I would want to share eternity with!

On To Kindergarten!



I can't believe she will be going to kindergarten next year!

Adam



He's growing and growing. He'll be 5 months at the end of this month!

Grandma Gardner's funeral






Grandma's funeral was nice and I'm glad we went. We drove up on Friday and drove home on Monday. It was a quick trip, but was nice seeing cousins and other relatives that I hadn't seen in awhile and of course my parents and brothers and sister. I enjoyed the talks and tributes to grandma, they brought about a lot of memories, and some laughs. We were able to get a big group picture and also a picture of my family. Since we were all there, it was nice to take advantage of the oppurtunity!

some thoughts

I have some pictures that I need to post, we are heading up to Utah tomorrow though so I'll have to do a better update later. The school year is winding down. Allison has one more week of preschool and the boys have two more weeks. I'll be glad to not have to do all the driving and yet I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them all summer! We are planning a road trip back east and are thinking that we will be gone for most of July.

I need to get the kids registered for school next year! I'm not sure where to put Daniel. I went through this last year too. He'll be in 8th grade, wow he's getting old!

My grandma Gardner passed away this week. She was my mom's mom. My dad's mom passed away a little over a year ago. We are heading up to Utah for the funeral. It will be a fast trip.

I've always been scared of death. To be honest I am afraid to die, although I know that everyone has to go sometime. I guess maybe it's just the fear of the unknown? When I go, I want it to be peaceful, without pain.

Going Crazy................

Have you ever lost something and have no idea what happened to it? Have you ever wondered "whatever happened to that"? Allison had a dress that was a really cute Christmas dress, she wore it several times at the beginning of last fall. I think it was in late November early December of last year that I realized I hadn't seen the dress lately. I've looked everywhere for it, and we've even moved in the meantime and I've been through things and I've never found it. I've wracked my brains thinking about what could have happened to it. I remember her wearing it, I remember seeing it hanging in her closet, I've been trying to remember if it was taken with us on a trip. Been trying to think where we could have left it! I've even wondered if I could have dropped it somewhere outside ( we were living in the apartment at the time) or did someone sneak in and steal it? Maybe one of the maintenance men came in and took it? So...

All points bulletin :

Have You Seen This Dress? Black Velvet on Top with a shimmering green ( kind of metalic like) material for the skirt and sash?

I remember looking at pictures of the boys awhile back and realizing that I hadn't seen the shirt that Cade was wearing in the picture lately? Where are these things going? Where do all the socks go?

On the flip side, I've ended up with clothes that I know don't belong to us. Right now I actually have in my possesion a boys long sleeved white dress shirt from Children Place size 10/12, and a t-shirt that says "Oakley" on it. I have now idea where these came from, but if they are yours I have them. I know that we've also ended up with socks that I know we didn't buy, sometimes it's just one and not a pair. So if you are wondering " Where do all the socks go......." I just might have them at my house!

Happy Easter!




We just happened upon free Easter bunny pictures at Bass Pro Shop on Saturday! I thought they turned out really cute! Of course the boys were "too old" for that kind of thing!
