Well.... hello! It's been a while. :) a lot has happened since the last time I posted here.<br />
<br />
We had a little girl (who is now almost 6), we also had a little boy (almost 4) , we moved to a new (to us) house, we closed our workout business, I started a new adventure in health, wellness and helping people build their own businesses (going on 5 years), Lance also has a new job, he now works for Whitetail Properties selling land (going on a year), just to name a few things. ;)<br />
<br />
We have traveled a lot.<br />
Mexico multiples times, California, Costa Rica (twice), Florida (3 times), Dallas, Kansas city, Nashville, Vegas and more....some with kids some without. <br />
I plan on going back and posting about some of these places, trips, tips etc.<br />
<br />
So that means, I'm back. :)<br />
<br />

We flew into San Fran and then drove to Yosemite. (if we were to do it again we would stay the first night in SF and then drive the next day!) It's about 4 hours from SF to Yosemite, but we hit some awful traffic on the way out of town. We stayed at the Tenaya Lodge about 2 miles outside of the south gate into Yosemite. It was beautiful. The weather was perfect. The hotel was wonderful! Our room was great and comfortable. </div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-uR3vS-NWsMa7tRn51yz3n23jZA07fU7QhyyQSExJt_S-CLIbfeHM4Q5QWhSQbDRSZjoAvFSlQjuydg7w7URBNSQSbNB9UmNfjW3ApQw5xD_mNaUtBPEOTrI3MjVrPAKHmKuwT3sqMOY/s400/IMG_0994.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620297583690611826" />The food at the hotel was good and being so close to the park was just perfect. On Saturday we got up and went into the park. We first drove to Glacier Point where you can see the Nevada and Vernal Falls and the Yosemite Falls, along with the valley of Yosemite. It was breathtaking. The views were amazing and again the weather was perfect. We had the perfect day. Our phones had no service and it was just the two of us. It was a dream!! After Glacier Point we went and ate lunch at the Wawona Hotel in the park and walked around there and then went to see the Giant Sequoias in Mariposa Grove. <img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUTLNPlkJFTKy-0u1pjVZ7lqJnbcwsRDYDeM2GB2sGNUfklc2SEwLjxdJHLwsD8P_G03fvm51VuIljw9Ol_SyVdcCgLgJ8UTKACsZ3NSvOw6CNg0d2AZXmwO_9xSFoORBTHpHgQBCCOO0/s400/IMG_1032.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620297598478743074" />They are crazy huge!

After we went to Ghiradelli Square and then back to the hotel to rest before dinner. Tuesday we shopped and rested and then headed home on Wednesday. We had a blast SF is so pretty and again the weather was amazing.

It's hard to write a post on such an amazing city without lots of pictures and it's hard to put into words how much I love this City. Seriously, I love it. It is gorgeous. I love the cafes, the streets, walking everywhere, public transportation, the oldness, the new parts of the city, the buildings, the people I love it all. This is L and I's second time to come to Paris and for sure not our last. For my parents and my sis it was their 1st time to visit Paris and they LOVED it too!!! <div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXS23X36vqpcAP9WQV_qQVWRMjNLoGWY1m68OxCkJzOaNJfcj5dfttxNhUZjIFQgZ0sKLA-kmMn0nY40LpM9MYpftmi3T4usmB8FnagGXHrM-EBL9Hqa1mAFt3BiucRwbJgtrJUJtpO-o/s1600/IMG_0747.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 307px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXS23X36vqpcAP9WQV_qQVWRMjNLoGWY1m68OxCkJzOaNJfcj5dfttxNhUZjIFQgZ0sKLA-kmMn0nY40LpM9MYpftmi3T4usmB8FnagGXHrM-EBL9Hqa1mAFt3BiucRwbJgtrJUJtpO-o/s400/IMG_0747.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539762814340544098" /></a>L and I at Notre Dame. We went to Notre Dame and walked around the outside and then waited in a LONG line to go inside. Notre Dame is very pretty but not my favorite church. It is very dark inside. The stained glass is amazing. Very detailed and colorful.<br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4o6HBdhRekTK57TttjFA4Kglrh9KIYyw_nOgOv6oHu-mIbcPrEelZ7J4QYh7ZoFZ2HjLbHEDdFWVGCI3bVLjs3RVWP9wQd8ibnoUQTYNDN7tKhqIIhl4ExzTjpitp4Cq1NCyC8GpqYkg/s400/IMG_0488.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539762796705123410" />After we ate lunch at Les Duex Magot (where Hemingway visited while he lived in Paris) we walked around the area and discovered this AMAZING church. It is St Suplice. One of my favorite churches and I can't wait to go back once it is completely restored. We really just stumbled upon this church and I am so glad we did. The front of it is being resorted so there were scaffolding set up around half of the front, but still is was gorgeous. The waterfall in the front of the church was so pretty too!! <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQMRZU4EX1xAspMTSwC74txo5qcwT3otXXT5FoBCFQpP9aIS4GQtGLN45GOotfXAiPXniZGSwC42F_E51GlgG-02SyoETyPceCW-_Y-sqjIYnCjW4YJKcGLoG_ox89HJ_En72RQdzehbw/s1600/IMG_0733.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQMRZU4EX1xAspMTSwC74txo5qcwT3otXXT5FoBCFQpP9aIS4GQtGLN45GOotfXAiPXniZGSwC42F_E51GlgG-02SyoETyPceCW-_Y-sqjIYnCjW4YJKcGLoG_ox89HJ_En72RQdzehbw/s400/IMG_0733.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539762805985758322" /></a>This is inside St. Suplice.

It's neat to see her because of how famous the painting is, but there are SO many people trying to get as close as they can (which isn't very close). The painting is behind glass and then there is a fence thing around it so you can't get very close and then you have to fight through the people to get up close.

We have been busy, busy around here! The hubs and I went to one of the World Series games in Dallas. We had an absolute blast. We are Yankees fans and went to the winning World Series game last year in NYC and said we'd go to a World Series every year so we did our 2nd annual MLB World Series trip and it was so fun. It was great time just us. We ate some great food, shopped and watched the game. It was perfect. <div><br /></div><div>We also went to the Luke Bryan/Jason Aldean concert, which was a blast. They put on a great concert. I also got to take my sis and 2 friends to the Justin Beiber concert. My lands! It was the loudest concert EVER! Crazy girls screaming the WHOLE time! But we had a fun. The girls loved it! And my sis caught one of the drumsticks at the end. She was pumped!</div><div><br /></div><div>Update on little Cohen (from the last post) He is doing AMAZING. He is walking on his own, talking and doing wonderful. He is still going to therapy, but is doing so good. Praise the Lord!</div><div><br /></div><div>Other than that nothing much has been going on. I haven't uploaded my camera in awhile so the next post should have some pictures AND i still haven't finished our Europe vacation my FAV city is left (PARIS) So that should be coming soon too! </div>M and Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16287315955460776253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810354301901685792.post-36420668498595347352010-10-12T08:59:00.000-07:002010-10-12T09:08:35.789-07:00Prayers for Cohen<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZvd9Xw0Ct51MnmCRPWzZ2DMG6IamwdPeb3VSw__nuM4RBzrp4Q58UU-NXKa0QDJnLHws8EAUgmzg0-QFR3zgZuU9__NerJC08FX629qT4X55U0d7mKIBd4vsH6EoxmQO5U6itGMYglok/s1600/Cohen.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527192118216597570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 100px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 156px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZvd9Xw0Ct51MnmCRPWzZ2DMG6IamwdPeb3VSw__nuM4RBzrp4Q58UU-NXKa0QDJnLHws8EAUgmzg0-QFR3zgZuU9__NerJC08FX629qT4X55U0d7mKIBd4vsH6EoxmQO5U6itGMYglok/s400/Cohen.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Hey guys. A friend of mine's son, Cohen, who is 2, was in an accident this past Saturday. I am going just copy from their blog so you can see what's going on. But please pray for him and their family. He needs healing, rest and comfort. </div><br /><div>This is from their blog <a href="http://www.cohenritter.blogspot.com/">http://www.cohenritter.blogspot.com/</a></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>On October 9, 2010 two year old Cohen Ritter was involved in an accident at his home in Yukon, Oklahoma. He suffered a head injury and multiple skull fractures and is currently in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.When he was taken to the hospital on Saturday by ambulance, doctors were unsure of his prognosis but are expecting him to fully recover. He has been temporarily placed on a ventilator to allow his body to rest and for the swelling in his brain to go down. Doctors have said he will have to have atleast one surgery on one of his skull fractures in order to repair some of the damage. A CT scan and an MRI were both completed today and they are saying he possibly has a blood clot in one of his jugular veins and they may have to give him some blood thinners to rid the clot. Doctors have requested that Cohen is not talked to or touched because they do not want to stimulate him but rather for him to rest. We are waiting now to let his body kick in and help him progress in his healing and recovery.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>On the blog there will be updates on his progression. Also their is a paypal link to help the family financially, while they are at the hospital and not being able to work. If you feel you can help financially I know the family will apperciate it more than you'll know. Thank you for your prayers and for passing this along to others so we can have many people praying for the Ritter family. </div>M and Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16287315955460776253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810354301901685792.post-90337086093013518262010-10-04T10:11:00.000-07:002010-10-04T10:22:16.084-07:00Random<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://www.carissagraham.com/search/label/miscellany%20monday"><img vspace="none" hspace="none" alt="Miscellany Monday @ lowercase letters" src="http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt255/ElvishAuthoress/MMbutton3.png" /></a><div>So I am linking up to Carissa's Miscellany Monday!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>1.

If you are flying out of London and can fly from London City do it! It is a wonderful small airport, that isn't very busy. It's a super quaint not busy airport, which is nice especially in London. Anyways, we flew to Edinburgh and stayed 2 nights there. (I wish we could've stayed longer!) We stayed at the Apex Waterloo Hotel. Which was a nice hotel right in the middle of town. We could pretty much walk everywhere. We did the hop on hop off bus tour, which i HIGHLY recommend in any town you are in. It gives you an overview of the city and then you can get off and see what you want. It was great. The first day we just rode it and only got off at the Edinburgh Castle and the Scotch Whiskey experience and then our second day we went to Holyrood Palace. The "new" main street in Edinburgh has some great shopping and the "old" main street (to the castle) has some good touristy shopping, if you are looking for typical Scottish things. The second day we were there that afternoon we went to St Andrews. It is about an hour and half away, but gorgeous to see. The golf course is so pretty and it's right on the ocean. The town of St. Andrews is also so pretty. I wish we could have stayed the night there and I know if we get back to Scotland we will. It was a very cute smaller town with lots to do. Seeing the countryside was wonderful. Everything was so green and pretty.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsQJnKDMpQkdjEB9XAIGuWBwNn7n67T4_QIFIhPiq_lmT9nQ2CBUDxfudO7-scJFTvcl7AjT4WATcq5k_yDUeqI8hLuIBs7r86O0VRZlFmWb_ygLorj-Etpk5HZJ353G-BjuHD3zhYEHI/s1600/IMGP3128.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsQJnKDMpQkdjEB9XAIGuWBwNn7n67T4_QIFIhPiq_lmT9nQ2CBUDxfudO7-scJFTvcl7AjT4WATcq5k_yDUeqI8hLuIBs7r86O0VRZlFmWb_ygLorj-Etpk5HZJ353G-BjuHD3zhYEHI/s400/IMGP3128.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520460267086129506" /></a>The view from the Castle<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYlQ70IdhGvT9SMfE5vn_boK8OHb_57iL6DCu1EGE2GYc3HBcHzCL68Nx3UkBXsoiqbyCfUeT0rMFf6F1q2f8tj0XDP2mm-NSxB2Emo1WC2pP62eCg_ncZkWxm7zGH7qxvRKjWILjErWM/s1600/IMGP3136.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 396px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYlQ70IdhGvT9SMfE5vn_boK8OHb_57iL6DCu1EGE2GYc3HBcHzCL68Nx3UkBXsoiqbyCfUeT0rMFf6F1q2f8tj0XDP2mm-NSxB2Emo1WC2pP62eCg_ncZkWxm7zGH7qxvRKjWILjErWM/s400/IMGP3136.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520460265696838258" /></a>Listening to our audio guides at Holyrood Palace.

The hubs had planned a party for me at our house! We swam and Big Truck Tacos came out and catered. The big truck served 5 or 6 different tacos, chips, salsa, queso and gauc. It was DELICIOUS!!! We also had yummy yummy cake and cookies. They were wonderful! There was a UFC fight on that we got on the TV outside and then we swam and swam until like 2:30am. We had a BLAST. The group of people that came was just amazing. Some old friends, new friend, lots of family and it was just perfect. We all sat and talked and swam and just had an absolute blast. I love ALL birthdays but this one was just AMAZING!! The hubs and my parents did an awesome job! I also got some fun fun things for my b-day. The hubs got me tickets to the Lady Antebellum/Tim McGraw concert! So excited to go!!!!! I got some fun fun gift cards, hair things, picture frames, candles, a local beer, my parents got me a new small camera (I have a huge Canon Rebel, so I have this to carry in my purse!) It was such a great summer night. It was kind of cloudy, but perfect so that it wasn't too hot! It was amazing. Seriously, having so many friends and family that truly love me and my family and love being with us is such a great thing. We are so blessed. There were tons of memories made and laughs that it was such a fun night! Love my hubs for doing this for me! It was an awesome party!!!!!<br /><br />Pics to come sometime soon! =)M and Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16287315955460776253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810354301901685792.post-44174869293728809522010-06-02T19:40:00.000-07:002010-06-02T19:51:59.694-07:00Quick Trip<div>Over Memorial weekend my mom, gran and a friend of my mom's went to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Branson</span> to go shopping at the outlet malls and to see some friends.

We had some friends over last weekend for their boys 11<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span> b-day. They wanted to go fishing for their birthday.

Let me tell you it was great! I always enjoy laying out with friends. Talking, reading, and enjoying the beautiful weather. We picked up sandwiches for lunch and ate by the pool.

Hopefully I can kick these 20lbs! But L has been walking with me which is nice b/c I like being with him. So we have been taking the dogs with us. The other morning I took Bo (the boxer) on a walk through the neighborhood and he saw a squirrel and just about freaked out. He almost pulled me over trying to chase it! This dog CRACKS me up. Whenever deer are outside of our fence you can ask him Bo where are the deer and he RUNS to the fence and barks at them. So I don't know why is surprised me when he ran at the squirrel, but I'm pretty sure he scared me more than the squirrel!! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So we had a nice relaxing day.

I am totally a summer girl and I am so excited it is upon us! This past weekend was the first weekend we had people over to swim and cook out! It was so much fun. The weather is finally starting to warm up enough to lay out.

First the dogs found a snake on the back porch at 5:20am as I was about to leave for work. Once the hubs let them out again it was gone. I HATE snakes! Seriously I could never see another one in my life and be just fine! Later that afternoon I saw a snake in the pond. As long as it's not in my yard, house or back porch I will be ok! =) Then we have these cute deer! There were twins born last year and they are both bucks. They have cute little antlers and have been hanging around our back yard the past couple of nights. They walk almost up to the fence. It is so fun! The dogs freak out! It's hilarious! Also today my mom and I were coming back from yoga and there was a mom and baby deer in our field. The baby was PRECIOUS!!! I mean so little and it's legs were wobbly. It was just adorable! I told the hubs I wanted one!! haha. The snakes can stay away for now I'll take the deer! =)<br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Speaking of yoga. I have been doing Bikram yoga for about 2 months now and I absolutely love it!! It's yoga in an 105 degree room, let me tell ya you sweat like you've never sweated before, but it is AMAZING. It is such a workout. The hubs has started going with my mom and I too. He loves it just as much as I do! It seriously works you out hardcore! If you have hot yoga or Bikram yoga anywhere close to you, you must try it! FYI bring a large towel, water and a hand towel to wipe your sweat! I think next week mom and I are going to try and do it everyday and do two classes in one day! So i'll let you know how it goes. Hopefully I don't pass out!!</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Alright I'm headed to fold pool towels and get ready for the pretty sunshine!</div></div>M and Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16287315955460776253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810354301901685792.post-7719159846315075722010-05-10T16:03:00.000-07:002010-05-10T16:11:59.713-07:00Goodness Gracious!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLjANqLTv-yDszBY_5-BgV-obQ1yblMFkD9QKvaNrHYukOa9ah8-uhf0oq5yLtahXHoxyucDsGmn9k-r5eQMSWPAWUUa8iz8EgSF2YinmYrDWzz6eikofAtDPMiY8aJsKCWq-qUS5vL3g/s1600/tornado.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLjANqLTv-yDszBY_5-BgV-obQ1yblMFkD9QKvaNrHYukOa9ah8-uhf0oq5yLtahXHoxyucDsGmn9k-r5eQMSWPAWUUa8iz8EgSF2YinmYrDWzz6eikofAtDPMiY8aJsKCWq-qUS5vL3g/s320/tornado.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469782888806985154" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>For about a week now the weathermen on ALL of our local channels have been saying there would be bad weather today. Of course when they predict it that early I always think, "Oh whatever, it's not going to be bad" Well they were right. We have had multiple tornadoes touch the ground in the metro area. We even had one on the ground about 5 miles from us. I hate tornadoes. About 3 years ago I was on my way home from college and I was in a tornado in my car. My car went up on two wheels and a tree limb hit the side of my car and my windshield cracked. Seriously one of the scariest things in my life. I called my sweet hubby when I saw the tornado and he talked me through it all but once it passed me my phone had no service and I couldn't talked to me. He left work and headed to where I was. We met on the road. It was so scary. So since then I have been pretty terrified of tornadoes. So today I called our family made sure they were all at home and got my things ready to get in the cellar. My mom called and said it was on the ground 5 miles from us and the dogs and I headed to the cellar. L of course stood outside watching for it. He did come in the cellar when the rained stopped and it got quiet. He thought it was close to us. Fortunately it went back up in the sky and we were protected. But in the metro area there has been some big tornadoes touch the ground with injuries and homes destroyed. Please pray for these families that are affected by these storms. It is so scary when it is so close to home. I'm glued to the TV for the rest of the night to see what all has happened and make sure we are in the clear! What a crazy Monday! Hopefully we won't get anymore the rest of the week! <div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>(image from newsok.com)</div><div><br /></div>M and Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16287315955460776253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810354301901685792.post-17714296667034879642010-04-27T12:31:00.000-07:002010-04-27T15:21:39.098-07:00Totally Random<div><div style="text-align: center;">Ok so I have gone through my phone and put all my pictures on my computer.

I'm linking up with <a href="http://kellyandgregmansfield.blogspot.com/">Kelly's Friday Funny</a>! This is my first time to link up to anyone's blog so if there are issues please let me know! =) <br /><br />So here are some of the funny things that happened this week: (you might now think all of these are funny, but I do and I want to remember them!! =)<br /><br />First off we went and played golf on Monday we some friends of ours. It was a blast! I'm awful, but oh well we still had fun! The funniest part of the evening was I was walking down a little hill to where I hit my ball and L was on the cart watching me and I totally bit it! I fell flat on my butt! Our friends where up on the green and they saw me and then I went missing down the hill. I was laughing SO hard I couldn't get up! L just looked at me and started laughing. <br /><br />I also went fishing this week. L wasn't home so I went to our pond with my new pink pole. I caught 7 small fish and then cast and the top of my pole flew out in the pond. I guess I didn't put it together right. But luckily I reeled it back in. I was dying laughing. If only someone saw me! It was pretty funny.<br /><br />L and I got a new TV and TV cabinet for our living room and moved our old tv into our bedroom. It is a TV that sets up on the speaker (like all in one) So it doesn't have to have a cabinet or anything. We had a trunk in our bedroom that our old TV was on so we tried to put this TV on it and it set up like almost to the ceiling. We laughed and laughed about how high it was. L wanted to leave it but I was afraid the dogs would knock it off. It look liked a drive in theatre in our bedroom. It was so funny! <br /><br />I think that is most of the funny things that happened this week. If I think of more I'll update this post and add more! I hope you all had a great week and laughed as much as I did!!M and Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16287315955460776253noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810354301901685792.post-73755904303353084102010-04-14T20:54:00.000-07:002010-04-14T21:08:46.928-07:00Sweet PuppiesSo this post is dedicated to our sweet puppies. I watched the movie Marley and Me tonight. WOW what a sad movie. I have had it on my ipod to watch for a while now but didn't want to watch it while we were traveling (don't really want to be crying on an airplane watching a movie!) Anyways, yes I did cry. As most of you know we love our dogs. They are our children. This movie hit close to home. Not that any of our dogs are not doing well, but just thinking about getting to that point where dogs get sick and old, makes me so sad. You better believe I'll be loving on all my babies more after watching this movie. Man, I still can't believe how sad the movie is. If you haven't seen it just be prepared, especially if you are a dog lover. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSnDaIIdgXagFsijrYuwO7hzhjFRWrD4e7tUca7fnKi4AI9g1rdXl_CDaLYSbtCdU9QhMo7JlMsnUWh8QsoVOWIGnLp11IExjlw0AznN-PMNdzcSOOOnXydWvnNMtxr6PiVloI_pfxiO4/s1600/IMG_0012.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 276px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSnDaIIdgXagFsijrYuwO7hzhjFRWrD4e7tUca7fnKi4AI9g1rdXl_CDaLYSbtCdU9QhMo7JlMsnUWh8QsoVOWIGnLp11IExjlw0AznN-PMNdzcSOOOnXydWvnNMtxr6PiVloI_pfxiO4/s320/IMG_0012.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460209771667360898" /></a>Filson sitting pretty outside.

Michael Oher was the main speaker. I read the book about him and the Blindside before the movie came out and just loved it. We watched the movie a couple weeks ago and I thought it was wonderful. What an awesome story he has and it is so neat of him to share it at the banquet. First Mark Clayton introduced him. He played at OU before going onto the NFL and now plays with Oher in Baltimore. They did a sort of Q & A seesion for Oher. It was really good. What he has accomplished in his life is pretty amazing. I do hope that he doesn't stray from doing so good though. So many people look up to him. That has to be a hard position to be in, but I hope he doesn't take it lightly. One thing I thought was funny that he talked about was, he actually went to see the movie The Blindside with some of his buddies. He bought a ticket and went. No one even recognized him. I think that'd be so crazy to go sit in a theatre with some friends and watch a movie about your life. I'm sure it was a little strange. The banquet was really good. The food was delicious and the speakers did a great job! I am glad we got to go!M and Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16287315955460776253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810354301901685792.post-13339164513219101392010-04-08T10:01:00.000-07:002010-04-08T10:10:48.660-07:00Easter Sunday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUA0-UFdwSRq2QyhF13IZXacfs4qghzJmzQcCedvMLhD5upyNazRo1Qm0xCep5P1GjBQzsqYTrVB_Tg1hi093dJoh8tlsq1-uWxAPSOQeodJHKV5QUZZxh-k0h7iv9BJNZ0vRhGCcRYck/s1600/IMG_8820.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUA0-UFdwSRq2QyhF13IZXacfs4qghzJmzQcCedvMLhD5upyNazRo1Qm0xCep5P1GjBQzsqYTrVB_Tg1hi093dJoh8tlsq1-uWxAPSOQeodJHKV5QUZZxh-k0h7iv9BJNZ0vRhGCcRYck/s320/IMG_8820.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457815165382991682" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">L and I on Easter Sunday after lunch</div><div><br />On Easter Sunday L and I went to church and met a friend there and then we all went to my parents house for lunch. We have started attending a new church and this past Sunday was the official launch. There were SO many people there, it ended up being standing room only. It was such an awesome thing. The service was incredible. It was such a good start to Easter Sunday. After church we came home and I made green bean bundles and corn flake chicken and then we headed to my parents. There were 19 of us at my parents for lunch. We had delicious food! Prime rib, chicken, fried quail, okra, deviled eggs apple pie and the list goes on! It was so good! After lunch all of the kids did an egg hunt in the front yard. It was so fun to see them running around and having so much fun. The big kids got involved too because there was money in some of the eggs. They were being pretty funny! It was such a great time to reflect on what Jesus did for us and to spend time with family. The weather was amazing. L and I cooked out that evening and went fishing. We had an awesome day.</div>M and Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16287315955460776253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810354301901685792.post-83967043393832680532010-04-02T13:26:00.000-07:002010-04-02T13:38:12.480-07:00Fun Week and Good FridayI can't believe it is already April, summer is just around the corner. We are doing a Biggest Loser Challenge at Curves and it ends the 1st week of June and that is in like 8 weeks! SO CRAZY! I need to get on the ball with my weight loss, so I can win! =)<div><br /></div><div>This past week my sister, my mom and one of my friends went to see Taylor Swift. Once I get my pics uploaded I'll post. The concert was so good. We had a blast. We ate at the Melting Pot before (I know so not good for dieting!) and then went to the concert. Taylor Swift is so stinking cute and just has so much fun performing. She put on a VERY good show! </div><div><br /></div><div>L and I tried a new restaurant in town the other night. It is a update of the "pub" so it has pub food but nice pub food (does that make since?) There are burgers, bangers and mash, homemade pretzels with fondue, nachos and fish and chips. I had bangers and mash and L had the pulled chicken nachos. They were both SO good!! </div><div><br /></div><div>Good Friday is such an neat day, being able to read in the Bible about what Jesus did for us to live every day. I have been reading through the book of John the past couple of weeks and reading about Jesus' last days and suffering just so I can live my life is such an overwhelming thought. God letting his only son suffer for me is so mind boggling. I am so not deserving of that, yet they still love me and accept me. Easter is such a special time of the year. Reading through the book of John and knowing the things that happened to Jesus and rising again on Easter Sunday, is so amazing. What an amazing God we have. The past month has been a really good time for L and I. We have gotten back into reading our Bibles and praying together and having quiet times. Also we have started going to church again. It is a refreshing time for me. God is so good and getting deeper into his word and closer to Him is such an amazing thing. I hope you all have a wonderful Easter and remember what we are celebrating. The rise of Christ our Lord. </div><div><br /></div><div>This weekend should be a lot of fun for our household. Tonight L's bro is coming home from school for the weekend, tomorrow some family friends from Missouri are staying at my parents and then Sunday we will go to church and then like 20 of us (family and friends) are all going to eat lunch at my parents. It will be a fun packed weekend and I can't wait!! Next post I'll have some pics for you!! (It's hard for me to not post pictures, but I'll try it!)</div>M and Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16287315955460776253noreply@blogger.com1
