KAIDEN'S 10TH BIRTHDAY

Kaiden's 10th birthday party, DOUBLE DIGITS, WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!!

He looks a little stoned or something in this picture (I pulled him in from the water balloon fight to get a solo picture from him and he was mad at mom, LOL)

My backyard looks totally trashed in these pictures(well it is) but the kids had a water/water balloon fight, they had 'forts' set up, and they had a blast, but wow, my backyard, LOL!

EXPLORING THE GREAT OUTDOORS

In the early morning and late evening while our back yard is shaded, and it is a mere 90ish degrees:-) the cats and bunnies have been enjoying the backyard and freedom. Thom has decided the cats, since there is 3 of them, need to be indoor/outdoor cats. Makayla got two bunnies for her birthday, you will notice I skipped Kayla's BD party, cause that camera is still on the fritz, so I cannot those pictures yet:(

LAKE POWELL 2009

Thom and I went to Lake Powell with his team, last month. It was interesting. We left the kids with my VERY good friend, thanks again Misty!!! We were only gone for 4 days, but we had an ABSOLUTE BLAST!!!!! It was totally worth the trauma of leaving the kids:-) We had SOOOOO much fun!!! Words will never be able to describe it! It was like a second honeymoon. It is absolutely beautiful there. We went to the Wahweap part, not the Bullfrog.


This is the dam at Page, AZ.
This is the new bridge they installed to cross, since 9/11.
This was our boat, a 32(ish) foot, 3 pontoon.
This was the floating restaurant the guys took all us wives to for an 'honorary' dinner the first night we were there, horrible service but it was beautiful, and WONDERFUL times!
Thom and I showed up early and sat in the bar and lounge and waited for everyone else, these are pictures from the lounge. These pics are from Thom's phone if you can't tell, too many of me:-)

SURGERY 2009

So I have totally been neglecting you lately, sorry. Life has been crazy around here. Put on top of that my computer crashed, as well as both my cameras:-(


Pooh had his tonsils out and tubes put in a week and a half ago. He has been a real stinker since:-) And he is still not fully recovered. But the surgery went well!
Trying to get his jammies off and his gown on was interesting! I had to lay on the bed with him

This was after the sedative
Cute baby!!
Dad quit taking pictures!!! This was after his 'baby cocktail' really starting taking effect:-) he was so cute and drunk!
This was right after we got him back from the post-op recovery room to the regular recovery room where we could join him.
Eating his first meal, pudding:-) Only about 45 mintues or so after his surgery, he did real good! Look at his swet little hand all bandaged and IV'd:-(

Reading up on post-op at home care, you would think that after 5 kids, I would know how to do this, but this is my baby, and I was a spazz!
