Sunday, February 13, 2011. We just returned from our dream vacation on a cruise to The Bahamas on the Disney Dream. The ship was absolutely amazing! Sydney was in total heaven. Payten had fun too as long as Mom and Dad were right there with here. I have way too many pictures to post and not even sure where to begin to write about all the fun that we had. I love these two!

Is it bedtime yet? I do love my kids. Ryan and Gabe started school last Monday, August 15th. Ryan started 8th grade at Desert Hills Middle School and Gabe started 6th grade at Sunrise Ridge Intermediate School. I was more excited than they were. Gabe was pretty nervous but is doing well so far. I think keeping him focused and organized may be a challenge but we can do it! Sunday, July 18, 2010.

And it was, in a word, amazing. But, beyond the outstanding music, this concert was full of amazing moments. In between sets, they had a slide show, narrated by bass player Scott Shiner, showing early pictures and flyers. It only made me love them more. Saturday, January 8, 2011.
