Stampin Up Convention 2009

I just got back from my business convention and had such a blast. Stampin Up is a great company to be a part of--mostly because some of my favorite people are there right along with me!! We were given many great ideas and got to create some fun projects, but most of all hanging out with your best friends for a week is the best!! luv you got ink girlz!!

Alex's 7th Birthday!!

Alex turned 7 today! I can hardly believe how grown up he is getting. For his day we made it a Day for Alex--doing all the things he wanted. We ate lunch at sonic-because you can get breakfast there all day and he loves breakfast. Then we went to see the new transformers movie--which he thought it was cool it came out on his birthday. Then we went bowling, then to dinner at our usual birthday spot-Red Robin- where they sang to him. Then we came home for brownie and ice cream- because he doesn't like cake, and opened presents. Then finished off his day with a family campout on the trampoline! BUSY BUSY day and fun to make him the "king" for the day--all of which AJ is gladly reminding us he can't wait until his big day too! We love you Alex and are so happy you are a part of our family!

Red Robin birthday sundae!

Go AJ!

He would strike the cutest pose when he bowled--check out the short video clip!

Special birthday pancake!!

We filled his room with balloons while he slept so he would have a special surprise when he woke up!

Disney Summer '09

So we went to Disneyland again (lol)--but this time my entire family was there--15 of us in total, if you count "squishy"--who slept thru most of her first visit to the magic kingdom! Enjoy these pics--alot of them, which is what happens when Jesus has the camera--also you can check out more on my facebook page. The only thing we did new this time was take the kids to the Blue Bayou restaurant--the one inside the Pirates of the Carribean ride! It was fun!

Happy Mother's Day 2009!

As has become a tradition, here is the latest Video for Meli. Happy Mother's Day, we love you lots!
