Happy 6th Wedding Anniversary!

Ryan and I celebrated our 6th Wedding Anniversary. Wow 6 years I am so truly luck to have found such an amazing Man. We arranged an over night sitter for the kids so we could enjoy a weekend getaway. It was SO nice!! We stayed at the Wild Horse Pass Resort & Casino. Such a BEAUTIFUL Hotel!!! Spent most of the day playing slots and playing a very fun game called Three Card Poker! Loved it!! John Shula owns a restaurant in the hotel. Very fancy Steak Restaurant with some Awesome Miami Dolphin memorabilia. Their steak menu was on an official NFL Dolphin Football. So cool!  We had such a great time. I would LOVE to go back!!!

2 Years Ago!

The kids and I loaded up in the car along with Holly and my Mom and Dad following down to Anthem Arizona. It was finally moving day! What a drive that was with a 8 month old and a 3 year old. The kids did awesome!!!

Family Update!!!

Wow! It has been a while since I have blogged! I am going to start it up again and will try my best to update at least once a week.

Ryan- Got a promotion at work and is now a Project Manager. He started a few weeks ago down in Nogales, AZ. He has rented a house with 2 other co-works on the project. He gets to come home on the weekends. He went to Colorado in October for a hunting trip. He shot a big 5x5 Elk.

Jack- Started Kindergarten in August and loves it very much. He is a Yellow Cheetah Belt in Karate now and just had his Graduation today! =) He is currently taking a Golf Class once a week at school. This upcoming Monday will be his last class until after the Holiday's. He is doing very well and has improved so much since the first class.

Gillian-Is currently taking a Petite Ballet class and loves it! She loves to perform dance and sing!

Kristin-Let's see besides being a taxi for my kids and all their activities. Who would have thought it would be so busy for them at 2yrs and 5 yrs! I watch up to 5 kids during the week. (Not including my own) and my photography business is starting to take off and I have been pretty busy with that.

 

We are all doing great and hope you all are too!

 

I will try and add pictures very soon!

Grandma and Grandpa AKA G.G. and Papa Visit

February 9-12, 2009

We had the pleasure of having Grandma and Grandpa Schroeder come and stay with us for a few days. The kids were so excited to see them. About 5 minutes after arriving the kids had them reading to them. We did a lot of bird watching, went for a few short walks and then took a drive up to Sedona and up to Flagstaff. That was such a beautiful drive, there was about 6 inches of snow on the ground in Flag so pretty. Gillian got to play in the snow for the very 1st time.

While Jack was at school we went for a drive around Anthem and then we stopped at our favorite hiking area to bird watch. It was very cold and windy so the bird stayed hidden and we left early.
