The news just came in
From the County of Glowing

It is getting so big that a party we are throwing.

This is Michelle's gorgeous Mom and Sister.
Val was in charge of decorations and I was in charge of food. Together we made a great team and are ready to tackle the next big event anyone throws our way...
we just need Val to move back so we can do this all the time :)

Anika was the photographer for the event ...

Starting of course with the cakes. :)

THUMB SUCKER...

Every family needs one.

Shea at 8 months.
She is still toothless, a great sleeper, crawls everywhere fast, pulls up on everything and loves to eat. Best of all, we are just having so much fun having her around.

THE KID'S FAVORITE....

BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT.

The kids are all learning so much and are so proud of the work they do. I love to come to back to school night to see how excited they are to show me all that they have done.

Josh
has had a great year and he has grown so much. I was so nervous to start him because he is one of the younger ones but he has done great and I am glad I did it.

Photobucket

I had to share my favorite project of his in the room.

LAST MINUTE TRIP....

to where else but Las Vegas of course.
Joe had a conference there during Spring Break that I was not going to go on but when we got to stay here I changed my mind

Photobucket
It is my new most favorite hotel.
The rooms were so nice and so big...this is only one half of it. It had remote control blinds. 3 flat screens one of which was in the bathroom. The kids loved it.

Photobucket

The kids had fun getting in their first swim of the season.
Photobucket

We went and saw that new City Center and these were cool but overall I was not that impressed.

We always go to the Bellagio....I cannot tell you how many pictures I have of the kids in the garden. It is always so beautiful.
