I received the cutest silver bell with 2008 engraved on it from Jan over at The Prytz Family. It is so pretty, I love it! And the kids especially get a kick out of ringing the bell. LOL :) Thank you Jan for the beautiful ornament!!

I CAN'T WAIT!!!
Seriously, my sister-in-law bought me this book for my birthday and when I read that it was about vampires I was like, "Really? Are you kidding me"? But, she and many many others convinced me it was worth reading. I am now more then halfway through book 4. It has been SO good. I cannot wait until Friday. It's going to be crazy. I'm thinking maybe I should buy my tickets online. Hmmmmm......

12 Years and counting.....
Here is what the card read that B gave me:
"In your voice, I hear it.
In your smile, I see it.In your touch, I feel it...love."
One look at you is all it takes
for me to fall in love all over again.
One kiss from you is all it takes
to show me how perfect
we are for each other.
One touch from you is all it takes
to make me forget the rest of the world.
Troubles and cares seem to vanish
when we hold each other close.
You make me feel as if I've been given
one of the most precious gifts
life has to offer-
to love and be loved by you...
Being with you,
looking into your eyes,
holding your hand, touching your cheek
are all it takes to convince me,
now and forever,
that love was invented
just for us.
I love you Baby, thanks for being exactly who you are today and always!! XOXO

Mexico
We had the best and MOST relaxing vacation!! We spent 5 nights/6 days in Rocky Point. We stayed in our toyhauler at "The Reef" beachfront. It was awesome. The kids had THE best time. Normally, we don't have "relaxing" vacations, since it usually involves some sort of theme park and such, so this was great!
Can't wait to go again!!

Breast Cancer
10:22
He didn’t want to tell her good-bye
But even he knew the sky beckoned her to fly
Deep in his heart he tried to be strong
And at 10:21 he knew it wouldn’t be long
He looked at his mom asleep on the bed
He looked at the pillow that cradled her head
He looked real hard so he would always know
And at 10:22 he let her go
He looked at his boys at 10:21
He can barely remember being that young
They began to pray; it was all they could do
And their prayers were answered at 10:22
She’s known her forever and probably a day
She beat the same demon that causes her pain
She’ll miss her so much; it’s breaking her heart
And at 10:22 she was falling apart
I woke up exactly at 10:22
My head still pounding as I battled the flu
I stared at the clock until 10:23
And then I found my way back to sleep
They were holding their breath since before Christmas Day
They wondered if God would send a miracle their way
The clock kept on ticking; the moments were few
And they finally exhaled at 10:22
At 10:22 she found her wings
She rose from the bed and she started to sing
The sky was blue as far as she could see
And at 10:23 she was finally free

Go Sabertooths!!!
This past week, Colten has really improved and has impressed all the coaches. They put him on the gold team which are the starters! We are so proud!!! He really has come along way and that is such a big thing to be a starter with this being just his first year in tackle. :~)
It was a GREAT game.....alot of excitement. Unfortunately they ended up losing by one touchdown in the last second of the game. Final score (18-12). The boys all played their hearts out!

Camping Curse!!!
We topped off the day with some good old fashioned smore making!!! Always a favorite of the kiddos!!
Even with all the craziness, it was actually a really fun trip!! It's always good spending time with the family. We always do a yearly camping trip with the whole family later in September, but with football going on, we needed to make it earlier. Until next year........
