Well, have to go start my day, can't hide in the closet forever!!;)

I am definatly going back!!

London was amazing!! I felt like a kid when you go to Disney Land and there is sooo much going on and soo much to see and the excitment!! Totally me!! There was so much to see around every corner! I could stay there for a month just getting lost in all the little back roads and finding little towns to visit!! I feel like a history buff now!! There is sooo much of it there!! I did totally miss my family though!! It was very nice to go and get away for a week, and can't wait to go back and visit my second family over there!! Hi Osmond Family!!! Love you all and thanks for welcoming me into your family!! Your amazing!!

I AM HERE!!!!

2007-10-25T15:18:00.000-07:00

They are terriffic!! They have 3 girls, 14, 12 and 8 and they are dolls!! Tomorrow they will take me around or somebody will, & i wll get to see the sights! And get to check out where the wedding will be!! It is possitivly charming here!! Our day was long to say the least, a lot of car trouble which was quite funny!! We had dinner in an old church and the chefs cooked up where the podium and organ sat! It was gorgous!! What was terrible was i thought we were going to KFC so i didn;t take my camera and we show up to this wonderful place!! Candice ( a gal from Marysville) had a camera so i confiscated it and took some shots!! I have to go to bed now i am a tired gilr!! Hugs and kisses to you all! Can;t wait to show some pics!

A European Adventure!!!

2007-10-09T07:09:00.000-07:00

I haven't blogged about this yet since i wasn't sure it was really going to happen! But I will be heading to England on Oct. 24th!! I will be doing a wedding for a friend there and get to stay for a whole week!! I don't think i've ever been this excited, well when i got married, and having my four children.. OK so i have been more excited, BUT i have never had the opportunity to travel and by MYSELF!! So exciting, i will miss my crew tons!! I have a new wide angle lens coming so that i can get some great scenery shots, so that is very exciting too!! I had a dream last night i didn't have all my equipment and i was going to have to buy it all there, expensive!! So glad that was a dream!! God has so blessed my new business and i am just soo thankful, and to also get the chance to travel, God, Your amazing!!!

The Bryan Vacation..

2007-09-29T08:11:00.000-07:00

We traveled down to the Grand Canyon! If any of you have been there you know that this picture comes no where close to the real thing!! It's magnificent there!

Blaine made me VERY nervous next to the edge (to say the least) the cliff is right there and not much to hold you back!! And if you know how the little guy is, you would totally agree!!

I just took this one while we were waiting for our truck to get fixed, we needed a new muffler..

Well what can i say The Road Kill Cafe, this was Pauls choice..

We had a colonial apple farm tour, it was great..

The last few days we stayed with Pauls sis, my home away from home!! I had some other pics but my computer is being difficult!!

Blaine's Injury!!

2007-09-18T14:40:00.000-07:00

Well this is Blaines first trip to the Emergency!! Suprisingly the first, for him!! He fell off a chair and cut a deep gash, i am shocked that he didn't get stitches, i thought only small cuts got the super glue?? But he is glued up and good to go!! So scarey when your little one is gushing blood and you can't rationally think!! Great for me that Paul was there, or else i would have been in big trouble, i had all the kids last night (8 of them total) Whew, thank you honey.

A quick jont away...

2007-09-15T22:39:00.000-07:00

This was an old gold mining station... very cool to see this kind of stuff, especially with the kids..

I love the forced head turn!! So funny!!

Bri was trying to get her tooth out, which from the first photo you can see she accomplished that!!

Blaine never stops crackin me up!!

My little monkey baby!!!

I am so in love with my family!!! I love them soooo much!!

This was a great train museum in Portola.

Blaine's Birthday!!

2007-08-31T19:16:00.000-07:00

Well Blaine, the animal lover that he is wanted a sheep cake, so there you go!! He got a bike, always a great thing!! And all his friends, he had a great time! 3 years old, too fast he has grown!!

Good Bye House..

2007-08-31T19:04:00.000-07:00

Well sad but exciting to have sold our house!! I had to take a picture of our cement in back, we all put our hands in it, and Brookie lent her foot (only a few weeks old) its hard to see it but you get the idea! Paul is having one last sweep, with everyone watching! Brookie snuggling grandma a little sad herself! So many great memories in that house, now we are excited to see what God will have for us down the road. Its a nice change to not have to worry about the house and what we need to fix!!

Here's is the overview of Summer!!

2007-08-23T09:32:00.000-07:00

What a crazy summer!! Geez, it came and went before i could enjoy it!! Between going to Aunt Shaw's house and Paul being gone to India for 2 weeks, to Bri's dance recital, youth camptrip, Senior trip, Bay going to Hawaii, Bri going to Nanna's for a week, and Shaw's for a week, Brookie's Birthday, oh and the kids musical at church!! Oh and getting moved out of our house!! Today is the day we hand over the keys! Kinda sad but i know there are better things ahead! Boy i am looking forward to the slow life!! Is there such thing anymore?? hmmm i hope.. Hope everyone had a marvelous summer!

Pastor Paul...

2007-08-02T23:36:00.000-07:00

Paul performed his 2nd wedding the other evening and did a fabulous job!! It was a buddy from Woodland and it was great to see our old friends and them to see Paul where he's at now. My husband is amazing and i wanted to let him know how special he is to me!! Thank you love, for everything you do for me!!!;) I love you!!

The many faces of Blaine..

2007-07-25T22:32:00.000-07:00

This guy cracks me up ALL the time!! I just had to share these pictures that just kill me everytime i see them..!!:) He's his fathers child!!

A brief getaway...

2007-07-17T23:59:00.000-07:00

I ran away to my moms house last friday! Its amazing how we can get so busy with cell phones, computers, kids, house work and all the other stuff! And to spend time away and quiet, its so nice! Taking time to see and hear all the things i miss, because i am constantly running!! I needed to just poop out for a day! My mom is amazing and always takes great care of us!! Moms are truly a blessing!!

Happy Birthday Brooke!!

2007-07-08T23:15:00.001-07:00

Well, it has been a busy time! We just got back from camping last week, and then had a wedding to photograph on sat, and Brooke's Birthday today (we were gone on her B-Day 7-3)! My brother brought his new puppy today, Floyd the dog, he is a cutie! I can't believe Brooke is already 1, she is still just a little thing!! And she is my baby so i guess it's just me not wanting her to grow up!:(

Fun in Southern Cal.

2007-06-18T23:06:00.000-07:00

We are having a nice and relaxing time here at my sisters!! Travis had his 9th Birthday and then Bri fell in the pool and hit her head and got a nice goose egg. Now she has a slight black eye and the top of her nose is a little puffy! We will be here till Friday then Paul will come home on Saturday!
