Lost and gone?
No, we are not lost and gone. My apologies to those who are checking up on this blog. We have been so busy with this home remodel that I have neglected this blog again. We are done with the house and moving in. We are so excited about moving in and more so...taking a break.

So Lazy...soooooo busy!
I really am not trying to neglect this website. I do have some fun pics to share...I just really have been consumed with our house remodel. We hope to only be another month out from move in time, but I find myself either always thinking about or working on the house. Just a quick recap of some of the fun things we have done.
We went to Lake Powell last week for the week on a R&R vacation. It was so great to get a break from it all. Kya loved playing in the sand
We made sand castles...actually, we made a sand sculpture of a mermaid. It was really fun.
Sorry the pics are so small. I will try to post more pics a bit larger next time. Our summer has definitely flown by and before you know it...Christmas is here. I am so looking forward to Halloween. One of my favorite holidays...I love to dress up.
Well, sorry this post is so lame...but better something than nothing, right?

Birthday, Fair, Family Reunion, Class Reunion and all sorts of fun!
Busy week, a lot of pictures and some fun times. Enjoy the slide shows and a little journaling.
Kya was definitely a 2 year old on her birthday. She had too much fun opening presents, wanted to open "more", and didn't really want to eat her cake or ice cream. We got her to dig into the cake, but that was all she wanted to do with it. We got her a pinata for her and her cousins. They loved that. Of course the boy cousins were a little concerned that it was a 'princess castle' and not a car or something.
We had a fun week and of course ate way too much food...you know that really good food that is so bad for you. This was my first Demolition Derby and it was so fun. We had Carl's mom's family reunion this week, the same week as the 'world famous' Grace, Id fair. Well, the blue station wagon is the car that all the Carl and his family grew up with and when it died the kids told Mom and Dad not to get rid of it because they wanted to watch it die at the Demo Derby. So they rigged it up, we all got to help paint and sign it and then Uncle C. drove it in the derby. We were the loudest section in the arena...the whole family...even Kya got into the chanting and clapping (once she realized she wasn't going to get hurt by the cars).
We won second place and that was so fun to watch them all get into the death of this car. Let me tell you...it will not die. They asked us to pull the car in the parade and Carl sat in it and revved it up throughout the parade, while some of the grandkids, Grandma and I sat in the back of the truck and threw candy. That was fun. The car had no water in it and they all thought for sure it would cease up....No sir-ry bob, that thing will not die (until the crusher gets it).
We also went to Carl's 10 year class reunion. Because he grew up there and it is such a small town...I knew a few of his class members and I enjoyed seeing them too. Where at my 10 year class reunion (being only 1 year that I went to my alma-mater (sp), Carl didn't know anybody).
So, Fair, Family Reunion, Class Reunion, Demo Derby and Birthday party are now over...Whew! What a week.

Memorial Weekend Family getaway
We went camping for our weekend getaway, family night. It was fun to get away and be with just us. Kya loves the outdoors and being with daddy. I wasn't too fond of the wind, but it was fun anyway.

No Pics, sorry.
Last night we had a great Family Night. We went to the dollar theater to see "Alvin and the Chipmunks". We took Kya with us too. She really loved the theater experience, other than about 20 or so minutes of boredom, she did great. Sorry, no pictures of this family night, but it was a great one.
