High School Musical

On June 27th, Victoria and I had a Mommy Daughter date. I surprised her and took her to see High School Musical at ASU Gammage. It was a perfect night. We went to dinner before and then to the show. She loved it and I loved spending the time with her. This pictures is from our dinner at Chili's. Here is Victoria posing with her newest member of her stuffed animal collection "Wildcat" on the left. She got it that night at the show. That is the stage behind her before the show started. Also if you can't notice she is wearing her Star Dazzle Award necklace which for all of you not familiar with HSM yet it was an award that was quite coveted in HSM2. What can I say...I'm a HSM geek too.

The kids did this most of the day. It was so hysterical.

This was the only day that there were waves.

We were on the Sea of Cortez which generally has very calm water...but not this day.

Mother's Day 2008

We had a nice quiet day on Mother's Day. We went to a new Japanese restaurant called Sakura. They cook the food right in front of you there and the kids loved it.

Back to School...It's never too late!!!

My newest venture is that I started school this week. I am attending Pima Medical Institute and I am taking a class to be a Certified Nursing Assistant. I am hoping to get a job in a hospital that will help pay for nursing school. There is such a shortage out here that most hospitals will do it for you if you commit some time to them. This is me in my first set of scrubs. I was so excited and nervous about this I felt like I was starting kindergarten!!!!

Grandma's Visit

Victoria kept grandma busy as you can see in this video. Grandma still has it!!!!

Roadrunner Hockey Game

We went to the Roadrunner game and it's hard to tell but, the kids made the camera. Victoria was dancing and actually new the camera was on her and kept dancing. She was very proud of herself. Michael and his best friend Bryson are on the other picture in the right corner of the screen. Michael is wearing his red hockey jersey it's a little hard to see. The kids have so much fun going to these games.

Aunt Lynne's Visit

Aunt Lynne came to visit us this month which we were so excited for. She took the trip all by herself which was very hard for her but I hope we made it worth her while. Although the snow storm in beautiful Sedona wasn't on the agenda, I really enjoyed it since I haven't seen snow like that in almost 3 years.

The kids loved having her around. She loves to read to them and play with them and she is truly a kid at heart. We miss having her here but I'm sure Uncle Jim, Emily, Katherine and Joseph are so happy she's home. Next visit...Grand Canyon!!!!

Easter 2008

We had a quiet Easter this year. We stayed home and had some friends over for dinner. The kids looked for Eggs and they got some movies from the Easter Bunny.
