Here are some pictures I took on Moriah's limo ride. I just had to bring chocolate covered strawberries, sparkling Apple cider and really loud music! And of course screaming teenage girls:) Per Moriah's request we had the driver take us to Marysville to hit Carl's Jr, and then drove around to a couple of beaches and a lighthouse. Then we drove to Millcreek to have dinner. All and all lots of fun. Some major benefits when you have a ridiculously generous Titi. These girls are so lucky!

I love our girls!

After dinner we all went to see Justin play.

He played the piano for a couple of his friends for Terrace Idol(his schools version of American Idol) It was a lot of fun and it warmed my heart to hear the crowd cheer for "Justin!". During the intermission he and a couple of his friends were the entertainment.

My son is the handsome one with the cool guitar:)
Right now Justin and Jared are in Idaho at the Lionel Hampton Jazz festival. He left Thursday morning with his Dynamics group(Choir) and already they won the first round and now are able to sing in the main arena. He was very excited and I am anxiously awaiting to hear how they did. The only problem is that they have to do a lot of walking and his legs are tiring on him, it seems very quickly. This brings me sadness that I can't even express. Anyways...when Jared and the rest of Dynamics come home J will meet up with his Jazz band and start a new competition with them. Busy Boy which makes me so very happy. Marisa is skiing today with Titi Debbie and its just Me, Marce and Mattias at home, and what are we going to do? Go to work:( I brought home a ton of work to do and was not able to log on to our system so my darling husband and son said they would go to the office with me, how did I get so lucky? Hopefully for my next entry my blog will have a new look. I showed Marce what I wanted and he is working on changing things up for me. Maybe even tonight, we will see. Oh and yesterday I had the pleasure of having lunch with my Sis and Donavin! I just love that little boy, he had us and all the people around us laughing and laughing! Jeez I just have so much to say but I have to get on to work so I'll be back later skater.....

23 days till spring!

We are ready for some warmer weather. My whole family is. Last night Mattias said "winter is over!" We told him no that we had a couple more weeks he again said "NO winter is over!" so I said my goodness Mattias why are you being like that and he said "Winter is over because I am READY for it to be over!" I can't argue with that.

We bought our tickets to Puerto Rico last night! Talk about warmer weather, it is exactly what we all need. 9 days of sunshine, warm water and white sand! So with the panic thought of bathing suites the workouts have begun....5 weeks till we leave. Let's see what kind of progress I can make:) I did some scrapping...however I don't have a big enough scanner to post it on my blog and I don't have enough patience to take a picture of it and crop and blah blah. Next time.

As I was saying.......

before life interrupted me....What a week....RECAP...Aaron's trip to Seattle, lots of fun and tons of catching up, Nanci's Birthday...we went to see Levi's band on Saturday night and then had a family Kick ball game on Sunday....My team won! So much fun! All week I had visitors from our corporate office work, work, work :( Debbie got Moriah a big O Limo for her sweet 16 and we had lots of fun. Oh then Justin had a little accident with the car...Don't worry he is fine, just a little upset with himself. Then my husband swept me away for the best Valentine's Day weekend of my life! Monday was back to work and a dentist appointment. THAT was NOT fun! Here are some pics from the last week or so.........bye

Things I'm Lovin'

I'm going away with my Beloved next weekend and I am so excited! Some alone time...wink, wink:) So with Valentine's Day coming up I was thinking about other things I'm Lovin, aside from the obvious: Marce, my kids, my family, etc. Here are some things that just make me smile.

-A clean Kitchen
-The morning sky the last couple of days
-Justin so involved and busy in his senior year of high school
-Paramore's Riot CD.(keeps me feeling young)
-Knowing I'm going to be with Marce tomorrow!
-Having Aaron come for a visit! It's been 6 years!
-How Sam and Moriah have just blended with our family so well. So comfortable
-The fact that Marce's Valentine's Day gift is bought, wrapped and hidden ssshhh!
-My sisters.
-My daughters wonderfully dry, sarcastic sense of humor
-My space, my area to create or just be.

I planned to spend the evening in my craft room scrapping all night and all I came up with is this cute picture of Dash. I will try again on Thursday(my short work day). Here's hoping. For now my bed is looking really cozy....goodnight. I'm waiting Marce.....hurry home!

High Maintenance

I can't believe how much crap I "need". Meanwhile my sister is beautiful with straight up Olay. I wonder when I'm 70 if all this will make a difference.
I am also very frustrated with my lack of photoshop skills and now I'm kicking myself for not taking that photoshop class Nanci wanted to take. But I was too cheap to take cuz it was $200.00. Clearly I needed that money for all this crap!
I miss my husband......and now I have to go ask my 14 year daughter for help on photoshop cuz she is an artist and I'm a wanna be......
Happy Monday:)

"This is my Mountain!"

For Mattias' birthday gift Titi Debbie took him skiing. What a perfect day to ski....Super Bowl Sunday.....they had the mountain to themselves. Then they met up with us at Nanci's house to watch the game. It was a pretty exciting game!
Marce is getting ready to travel for work again:( He will be gone all week.....sad. So I'm going to go now and get comfy cozy with him while he is still here.....bye.
