Happy Easter 2010

Shane and I were in Portland this weekend for Easter. It was nice to be able to enjoy the day with family, Easter treats and wonderful talks from General Conference. What a special day to have both Eater and Conference on the same day. The kids were fun and also it was Jack's first Easter so he had fun as well playing with the kids and eating his Easter treats.

Happy Birthday

Oh, birthdays are not the same as they used to be when I was a kid. Most memorible birthday when I was a kid was my 6th birthday. I invited 5 friends and we celebrated at the Organ Grinder in Portland. http://www.pstos.org/instruments/or/portland/organ-grinder.htm Time sure flies, but even though I am getting older I still try to celebrate some how. This year Shane fixed his famous meet loaf and brought home a Dairy Queen ice cream cake. Yummy! It was a good day, but also a sad day. This years birthday I will always remember because it was the day I heard my favorite teen idol crush passed away from a drug overdose. You will always be in my heart Corey Haim. He is remembered for movies like Silver Bullet, Lucus and License To Drive. And I cannot forget the ever so famous magizine Teen Beat! Happy Birthday to Me and Happy Celebration of Life Corey Haim.

Happy Holidays 2009

Shane and I had a wonderful Christmas just the two of us here in Grants Pass. Shane had to work in the afternoon on Christmas and I was all by my lonesome doing nothing. The day after Christmas we drove to Portland to be with my family and that night we made it into town just in time to meet my siblings at Red Robbin and gather with old friends. We went to my cousins baby blessing on Sunday and then a family dinner at my brothers home that evening. It was fun seeing the kids and seeing how much they have grown. My sister Nichol and I hit the sales on Monday and then Shane and I drove back home Tuesday afternoon. It's always so sad when the holidays are over, but then I think about next year and it gives me something to look forward to. My house was torn apart last Saturday putting away Christmas, well actually it's still torn apart. Little by little and back to reality.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I love the holidays!!

I love the holidays. This my most favorite time of year. Christmas music, candy, goodies, family gatherings, gift giving and most of all the true meaning of christmas, the birth of our savior. When I was a kid I would make one of those green and red paper chains and hang it from the ceiling of my room and count down to christmas day. I remember times of laying in bed on Christmas eve waiting to see if I can hear the sound of Santas reindeer. I always had this feeling that I couldn't wait and wanted it to be Christmas morning so bad. I'm very naustalgic and love thinking back to when I was a kid at Christmas. Don't tell anyone, but I still believe in Santa. I'm all about Christmas triditions and even though I am sad Shane and I won't be with family on Christmas this year I am excited to start triditions of our own. We will drive to Portland the day after christmas to be with my family. I'm excited to see the kids and the excitment on their faces.
